| Abstract | Infrared multiple internal reflection spectroscopy has been applied to the characterisation (ex situ) of thin amorphous silicon layers on crystalline silicon substrates. The specimens are tightly clamped against a Ge-prism with a 45° bevel angle for the entrance and exit sides, allowing for 25 multiple internal reflections. The stretching bands of SiHn bonds in amorphous Si are detected over a range of film thickness from 3 to 600 nm. Very thin films (with thickness less than 50 nm) exhibit different hydrogen bonding compared to the thicker ones, due to sublayers with different bonding configurations. |
