Abstract

The idea of surface mobility of growth precursors determined material quality has been exploited by raising the substrate temperature above the conventional 250°C and the ensuing thermal depletion of the surface hydrogen coverage compensated by increasing the precursor flux (deposition rate) to prepare ultra low defect density hydrogenated amorphous silicon.
