The problem of low drift mobility of holes in hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) has been solved by controlling the hydrogen content in the film. A-Si:H films with low hydrogen content have been prepared by the radical-controlled method in which the glow discharge of the mixture of SiF4 and H2 is used and the residence time of the reactant species is controlled. A prototype MOSFET demonstrates a hole mobility of 0.12 cm2/Vs and an electron mobility of 0.24 cm2/Vs, suggesting the feasibility of the a-Si CMOS circuit.
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.
