New gas-phase model of silane decomposition during plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition with formation of stable negative hydrogenated silicon ion clusters is suggested. The kinetics equations describing time dependent cluster formation are computed.PACS : 52.77.Dq, 52.25.Dg
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
