Abstract

Electron spin resonance (ESR), constant photocurrent method (CPM), photothermal deflection spectroscopy (PDS), Raman and IR spectroscopy have been used to measure microcrystalline silicon films. Besides standard defects with a g-value of 2.0055, new defects with a g-value ∼2.0030 have been created during annealing this material. Proportionality between the subgap optical absorption and ESR spin density has been observed.
