Abstract
The amorphous alloy system As-Si has been prepared in thin film form using the plasma decomposition of silane-arsine mixtures. Electrical and optical measurements show effects characteristic of substitutional impurity doping for low concentrations of arsenic. A transition from impurity doping to alloy behaviour is observed with increasing arsenic concentration. Similar behaviour is not observed for low concentrations of silicon in arsenic.
