We synthesized amorphous films composed of transition-metal-encapsulating Si clusters (MSin: M=Mo or Nb) by deposition of hydrogenated MSinHx clusters onto silica substrates followed by annealing at 500 °C for dehydrogenation. The MoSin (n=7–16) cluster films are semiconductors with an optical gap >0.6 eV and resistivity >1 Ω cm. In particular, the MoSi12 cluster film has a large gap of 1.1 eV and resistivity of 120 Ω cm with high hole mobility of 32 cm2/(V s). In these films, Si atoms form amorphous networks similar to those in hydrogenated amorphous Si but the electronic disorder is reduced by the use of MSin clusters as the building blocks.
