Reversible and irreversible effects after oxygen exposure in thick (>1 μm) silicon films deposited by VHF-PECVD on glass substrates investigated by dual beam photoconductivity
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Metastability and instability effects due to oxygen exposure in thick intrinsic hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon films deposited by very high frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition on smooth glass substrates were investigated using temperature-dependent dark conductivity, steady state photoconductivity, and sub-bandgap absorption measurements obtained using the dual beam photoconductivity (DBP) method. No significant changes in dark conductivity and photoconductivity were detected even after long-term air exposure of samples in room ambient as well as after oxygen exposure when samples were characterized in oxygen ambient. However, characterization of the oxygen-exposed state in high vacuum caused an increase in dark conductivity and photoconductivity as well as a significant decrease in the sub-bandgap absorption coefficient spectra in the low energy region in samples with [Formula: see text]. These changes are partially irreversible for samples [Formula: see text] and mostly reversible for compact materials with significant amorphous fraction. No detectable metastable changes occurred in microcrystalline silicon samples with [Formula: see text] as well as in pure amorphous silicon.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
