TLDR
In this article, the incorporation of rare gas into a-Si: H produced by the reactive sputtering method is studied with XPS measurements, and it is shown that the amount of neon incorporated in an aSi:H film prepared in a 93% Ne+7% H2 gas mixture decreases monotonically from 7 atomic % until it becomes undetectable, as the total pressure is increased from 2 Pa to 30 Pa.
Abstract
The incorporation of rare gas into a-Si: H produced by the reactive sputtering method is studied with XPS measurements The amount of neon incorporated in an a-Si: H film prepared in a 93% Ne+7% H2 gas mixture decreases monotonically from 7 atomic % until it becomes undetectable, as the total pressure is increased from 02 Pa to 30 Pa A-Si: H films produced under the same Ne partial pressure without H2 contain ca 17 times as much amount of Ne atoms as those prepared with H2

Insert gas entrapment in films produced by ion-assisted physical vapour deposition processes

TL;DR: In this paper, the atomic concentration ratio in the film (sorption ratio) γ = [Ar]/[Ti] as a function of the dimensionless quantity c ion, which is the relative density of the ion flux (ratio of ion flux density to condensing material atom flux density).
