Abstract

Novel hydrogenated amorphous silicon alloys are disclosed. Hydrogenated amorphous silicon alloys produced by PECVD are disclosed. A method is also disclosed for the preparation of novel hydrogenated amorphous silicon alloys for use as thin films. The method comprises subjecting a mixed gas of gas-phase silicon compounds and other gas-phase alloy element compounds to plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition in a reaction zone such that the alloy formed is deposited on a substrate.
