Abstract

The at. state distribution function (ASDF) of hydrogen was numerically modeled as a function of electron d., electron temp. and neutral d., by means of a collisional-radiative modeling code. Two limiting cases regarding the hydrogen dissocn. degree were considered, namely 0% and 100% dissocn. Optical emission spectroscopy on the hydrogen Balmer series was used to exptl. obtain the ASDF from a capacitively coupled parallel plate RF hydrogen discharge. This type of discharge is typically used for amorphous and microcryst. silicon solar cell deposition. Preliminary measurements allow a comparison of exptl. and numerically obtained ASDF. The discussion treats how both model and expt. can be improved to obtain a better correlation. [on SciFinder (R)]
