Title: | Hydrogen release in annealed hydrogenated a-Si/a-Ge multilayers | Authors: | Frigeri, C. Serenyi, M. Khanh, N. Q. Csik, A. Erdelyi, Z. Nasi, L. Beke, D. L. BOYEN, Hans-Gerd |
Issue Date: | 2011 | Publisher: | WILEY-BLACKWELL | Source: | CRYSTAL RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY, 46(8). p. 877-880 | Abstract: | A combined study of hydrogenated sputtered single a-Si and a-Ge layers and a-Si/a-Ge multilayers (MLs) has been carried out in order to establish the reasons of H release and associated structural degradation of the MLs when they are submitted to annealing. ERDA analysis of the single layers of a-Si and a-Ge shows that H escapes from the layer much more efficiently in a-Ge than in a-Si. This agrees with IR absorbance measurements on the MLs showing that the Ge-H signal disappears at a lower annealing time (for a given annealing temperature) than Si-H and Si-H(2) do. The conclusion is drawn that the structural degradation of a-Si/a-Ge MLs primary starts with release of H in the Ge layers most probably because of the smaller binding energy of the H-Ge bond and the greater weakness of the Ge lattice.
