Correlation between the optical bandgap and the monohydride bond density of hydrogenated amorphous silicon

In this study, a variation of the substrate temperature during plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition of hydrogenated amorphous silicon is reported, which revealed a local minimum of the optical bandgap. It is shown, that the silicon monohydride bond density is more appropriate to describe this d...
