Abstract

A novel reflectance effect has been used to extract new information about oxygen impurity states in silane-vapor-deposited silicon films. A comparison to IR measurements in crystalline silicon yields a substantial wavelength shift of the characteristic 9-μm oxygen transition and may suggest increased film impurity absorption in comparison to the bulk. By combining these experiments with measurements of film oxygen impurity concentration using X-ray emission spectroscopy, values for the oscillator strengths of the prominent oxygen lines in the near IR can be obtained. Interpretation of these data is given.
