The electrical properties of plasma‐deposited amorphous silicon nitride hydrogen alloys (a‐SiN: H) deposited at different rf powers were determined. The N–H and Si–H content of these films were determined using a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer. The N–H content was relatively insensitive to the deposition conditions; however, the Si–H content was very sensitive to the deposition conditions. The conductivity of the films was found to depend upon the Si–H content [Si–H] and was given by σ=7.25×10−21 exp(2.74×10−21[Si–H]) at 70 °C and 4×106 V/cm. The high‐temperature activation energy (i.e., trap height) was also strongly dependent on the Si–H content. A model is proposed which qualitatively explains the electrical behavior of the films. The material is considered to be a two‐phase mixture: Phase 1 is highly structured (Si3N4‐like) which has a low level of defects, and a low hydrogen content; Phase 2 is highly disordered with a high concentration of Si–H and N–H defect states and a high hydrogen cont...
