Abstract:P-type amorphous silicon (a-Si) thin film was deposited by radio frequency magnetron sputtering. And the structure of the prepared film was analyzed by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), Raman spectrometer (Raman) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The influence of sputtering process on film mass was investigated, and the true value range of film mass was determined by calculating its uncertainty. It is exhibited that the deposition rate of film increases with the increase of sputtering power during the magnetron sputtering process. The introduction of sputtering bias can obviously improve the bonding strength between the film and the substrate. However, the bias will cause a certain mass loss of nickel substrate during the initial stage of pre-splash and deposition process. Moreover, the more mass loss of nickel substrate leaded by high bias pressure will results in the large measurement error in determining the mass of active materials for the a-Si thin film. By optimizing the magnetron sputtering process, the thin film exhibits good adhesion to the substrate, and the substrate loss is small in the initial stage of pre-splash and deposition process when the sputtering power of 300 W, bias voltage of 50 V, and deposition time of 3 h. At this time, the mass for active material of the film is 0.22 mg, the measurement uncertainty is ±0.01 mg, and the range of mass is [0.21 mg, 0.23 mg]. The electrochemical analysis results show that the a-Si thin film treated with gaseous hydrogen has electrochemical hydrogen storage reaction and high discharge capacity (1682.7~1759.2 mAh?g-1) in the ionic liquid.
