Abstract  A series of a-Si:H films are deposited by hot wire assisted microwave electron cyclotron resonant chemical vapour deposition (HW-MWECR-CVD), subsequently exposed under simulated illumination for three hours. This paper studies the microstructure change during illumination by Fourier Transformation Infrared (FTIR) spectra. There are two typical transformation tendencies of microstructure after illumination. It proposes a model of light induced structural change based on the experimental results. It is found that all samples follow the same mechanism during illumination, and intrinsic structure of samples affect the total H content.
