Abstract

The structural, electrical and optical properties of amorphous Si-Ge alloys prepared either from mixtures of hydrides or of fluorides will be compared. It will be shown that the majority of many properties studied are essentially the same, the major exceptions being the structure of thin films used for TEM investigation, and the photocurrents developed between contacts in a coplanar configuration. Possible explanations for the result of including fluorine in the preparation plasma will be discussed.
