【 摘 要 】

We have found that hydrogen exists in molecular form in crystalline silicon treated with hydrogen atoms in the downstream of a hydrogen plasma. The vibrational Raman line of hydrogen molecules is observed at 4158 cm(-1) for silicon samples hydrogenated between 180 and 500 degrees C. The assignment of the Raman line is confirmed by its isotope shift to 2990 cm(-1) for silicon treated with deuterium atoms. The Raman intensity has a maximum for hydrogenation at 400 degrees C. The vibrational Raman line of the hydrogen molecules is broad and asymmetric. It consists of at least two components, possibly arising from hydrogen molecules in different occupation sites in crystalline silicon. The rotational Raman lint of hydrogen molecules is observed at 590 cm(-1). The Raman band of Si-H stretching is observed for hydrogenation temperatures between 100 and 500 degrees C and the intensity has a maximum for hydrogenation at 250 degrees C.
