Glow-Discharge Deposition of Amorphous Silicon from SiH3F

Abstract
Glow discharge deposition of a-Si:H:F from SiH3F as well as SiH2F2 gas has been studied in comparison to that from SiH4. Deposition rate from SiH3F exceeds that from SiH4 by 2–3 times in magnitude under a low-power deposition condition.
