摘要
A hydrogenated amorphous SiC alloy film (a-Si1-xCx:H with x = 0.29) was prepared by glow discharge decomposition of a silane and ethylene gas mixture. A careful and detailed investigation of the IR absorption was undertaken in the range from 400 to 4000 cm-1 for both the as-deposited (Ts = 250°C) and annealed (up to 1200°C) film. In addition to the changes in the local bonding brought about by annealing, the study demonstrates clearly that there is a structural change from amorphous to microcrystalline at Ta = 800°C and then to a crystalline phase at Ta = 1200°C. © 1990.
