abstract = {Solar module efficiencies above 14 $\%$ are the avowed aim
of thin-film silicon technology. To achieve this ambitious
goal, stacks of layers with properties customized for their
purpose like absorption, reflection and conduction are
required. To fulfill these demands a precise understanding
and control of the utilized deposition processes is
necessary. A variety of in-situ measurement methods are
available to determine structure and optical properties of
the growing films as well as the composition of the gas
phase during deposition. These techniques help to improve
the understanding of the complex interplay between gas phase
processes and the properties of growing films during
chemical vapor deposition. We combine in-situ measurement
techniques that allow the determination of material
properties during growth, like transmission measurements or
in-situ Raman spectroscopy with measurements of the gas
phase like optical emission spectroscopy and
Fourier-transform-infrared spectroscopy. Accordingly, the
knowledge about the silicon deposition process is increased
and a precise control of the material growth is enabled. We
will present results on the optimization of the plasma
deposition of microcrystalline silicon through information
obtained in-situ. Using in-situ Raman spectroscopy the
crystalline volume fraction and the film temperature are
measured. Combining these measurements with optical emission
spectroscopy the reaction of the film growth to changes of
the plasma composition is observed in-situ. Transmission
measurements additionally are applied to provide online
information about the absorbance and the reflective index of
the growing films. Hence, it is possible to deposit thin
silicon films with properties tailored for their application
in solar cell devices.},
