The influence of deposition parameters on the large area p-layer performance was intensively studied, as well as the thin film uniformity, optical, electrical and structural performances by Raman, PTIR, Ellipsometry, etc. Arrhenius and Tauc plots were used to discuss the μc-Si:H thin film's activation energy and the defects state distribution. When amorphous-microcrystalline transition state was obtained, the deposited p-doped μc-Si:H layers showed specific resistance of 38.3 Ω^-1cm1 at the flowratio of 0.66% and high crystallinity of 45%-50% with no further treatment. The effect of source gas flowratio, deposition rate, and source gas partial pressure on μc-Si:H thin film's performance was also investigated.展开更多
