| Research Abstract |
<SiH_4> is an important gas used in producing amorphous silicon film, but electron collision processes for <SiH_4> molecules have not been studied sufficiently. The purposes of this research have been to measure emission cross sections (ECS), cascade-corrected level excitation cross sections (LECS) and lifetimes of excited emissive fragments, and further LECS of non-emissive fragments of radicals produced by electron impact on <SiH_4> with using various spectroscopic measurement methods. This research has been made from 1985 to 1986, and the following results have been obtained.
1. Combining a beam method with a photon counting method and using a He standard method, ECS of the excited fragments of radicals ( <SiH^*> , <Si^*> , <H^*> ) produced by electron impact on <SiH_4> molecules have been measured in the electron energy region of 0 to 100 eV.
2. Using a delayed coincidence method, the decays of transitions from <Si^*> and <SiH^*> fragments have been observed,and the lifetimes of those fragments and the contributions of cascading transitions have been obtained. Combining this result with ECS in 1., LECS of the <Si^*> fragments (4s, 4p, 3d, 3 <p^3> ) and <SiH^*> (A <^2(DELTA)> ) have been determined first at our experiment. These LECS are useful data in clarifying the mechanisms in processing plasmas.
3. Using a laser induced fluorescence method (LIF method), the lifetimes of the individual vibronic levels in the <SiH^*> (A <^2(DELTA)> ) electronic excited level have been measured.
4. The method has been developed in which we can determine LECS of the non-emissive fragments X <^2(PI)> of SiH radicals using the LIF,a time resolved spectroscopic method and further the results of 1 to 3. The preliminary measurement has been made. This study is continued at present. It is expected that the final results can be obtained by improving the S/N ratio and increasing the laser power.
