This study is based mainly on optical spectroscopy and quantum calculations. It focuses on P=O bond formation and the corresponding changes of the chemical oxide structure. The characterisation of CVD thin films deposited on c-Si has been related to the dependence between the partial pressure of PH/sub 3/ and the incorporated content of phosphorous in PSG films by means of IR spectroscopy. AFM indicated spongeous structure formation for aged samples, as a result of water absorption which leads to hydrolysis of P=O and O-SiO/sub 3/ bonds. The cluster model approach based on the LCAO Hartree Fock theory was used to calculate the vibration modes for the proposed surrounding of P=O and O-P-O groups by using specific atomic cluster models. This contribution deals with some links between the chemical structures of the nearest environment of phosphorous atoms in PSG films and the features shown by IR spectra.","PeriodicalId":178478,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

Raman, IR, band-to-band and edge absorption spectroscopies are employed to obtain information about the incorporation of impurity ions in the host glass structure and the corresponding changes in intrinsic optical characteristics. In the fundamental absorption region, a reflectivity maximum at 2.98 eV shows blue (Dy, Sm) or red (Mn) shift depending on the electronegativity of the impurity, in accordance with the corresponding variations of the glass structure. Some variations of the characteristic Raman spectra under light exposure and thermal ageing of doped glasses were registered.
