Abstract This paper reports that the optical emission spectroscopy (OES) is used to monitor the plasma during the deposition process of hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon films in a very high frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition system. The OES intensities (SiH*, H$_{\alpha}^*$ and H$_{\beta}^*$) are investigated by varying the deposition parameters. The result shows that the discharge power, silane concentrations and substrate temperature affect the OES intensities. When the discharge power at silane concentration of 4% increases, the OES intensities increase first and then are constant, the intensities increase with the discharge power monotonously at silane concentration of 6%. The SiH* intensity increases with silane concentration, while the intensities of H$_{\alpha}^*$ and H$_{\beta}^*$ increase first and then decrease. When the substrate temperature increases, the SiH* intensity decreases and the intensities of H$_{\alpha}^*$ and H$_{\beta}^*$ are constant. The correlation between the intensity ratio of $I_{\rm H_{\alpha}^*}$/$I_{{\rm SiH}^*}$ and the crystalline volume fraction ($X_{\rm c}$) of films is confirmed.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
