Popis: The deposition of a-Si alloys on large areas was investigated in the frequency region from 3 to 30 MHz. With increasing frequency an increasing deposition rate (5–30 μm h −1 ) and a decreasing powder formation result. An upscaling from small areas (100 cm 2 –1000 cm 2 ) to larger areas (2500 cm 2 for the parallel plate and 5000 cm 2 for the coaxial reactor) was realized. With a homogeneous r.f. voltage we obtained a homogeneous r.f. power dissipation and a homogeneous layer thickness (±5%). An additional stabilization for the discharge over the length was obtained by use of a permanent magnetic field. We have calculated the deposition rate as a function of r.f. power, pressure, gas flow rate, frequency, magnetic field, discharge length and gas temperature on the basis of a semiquantitative plasma chemistry model.
