Microstructure and residual stress in hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) layers

Includes bibliographical references. === Hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) is known to be highly disordered. The disorder introduces a high amount of defects in the network, such as bond length and angle deviation, non-coordinated bonds or voids. In this work the microstructural characterizati...
