摘要
The optical properties of the hydrogenated amorphous silicon carbon alloy films, prepared by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition technique from silane and methane gas mixture diluted in helium, have been investigated using variable angle spectroscopic ellipsometry in the photon energy range from 0.73 to 4.59 eV. Tauc-Lorentz model has been employed for the analysis of the optical spectra and it has been demonstrated that the model parameters are correlated with the carbon content as well as to the structural properties of the studied films.
