Abstract

A numerical model of hydrogen plasmas involved in amorphous and microcrystalline silicon deposition was presented. A symmetric radio frequency plasma with one electrode driven and one grounded (no self-bias) was studied. A one-dimensional time-dependent fluid model was used for the description of neutrals, positive and negative ions and electrons. Results indicated strong influence of pressure and frequency on hydrogen discharges characteristics.
