摘要
The characteristics of homogeneous discharges in mixed gases of hydrogen diluted silane and argon at atmospheric pressure are investigated numerically based on a one-dimensional fluid model. This model takes into account the primary processes-excitation and ionization, sixteen reactions of radicals with radicals in silane/hydrogen/argon discharges-and therefore, can adequately represent the discharge plasma. We analyze the effects of very high frequency (VHF) on the densities of species (e, H, SiH3, SiH+ and SiH2) in such discharges using the model. The simulation results show that the densities of SiH3, SiH+, H, and SiH2 increase with VHF when the VHF ranges from 30 MHz to 150 MHz. It is found that the deposition rate of uc-Si:H film depends on the concentration of SiH3, SiH+, SiH2, and H in the plasma. The effects of VHF on the deposition rate and the amount of crystallized fraction for uc-Si:H film growth is also discussed in this paper.
