Abstract

Method of producing amorphous semiconductor hydrides (hydrogenated amorphous semiconductors) with specified bandgaps. The desired bandgap is achieved by controlling the temperature and partial pressure of higher order semiconductanes which are created pyrolytically, for example, on a substrate using a hot-wall epitaxial reactor.
