Abstract
The correlation between hydrogen content associated with the Si-H 2 bonds in a-Si:H films and volume fraction of clusters was studied. The study was carried out by using the downstream-cluster-collection (DCC) method and by combining the method with cluster suppressed Plasma CVD method. It was found that the DCC method provides information on size distribution density, shape and structure of clusters in the reactor. It was also observed that the incorporation of clusters above about 1 nm into a-Si:H films was an origin of Si-H2 bonds in the films.
