abstract = {The present thesis is concerned with the use of ultrasound
for the treatment of liquid silanes with the objective of
fabricating solution-processable inks containing silicon
hydride polymers and silicon nanoparticles. Also
demonstrated is the subsequent use of the inks to deposit
semiconducting hydrogenated amorphous silicon(a-Si:H) thin
films and for fabricating passivation layers and thin-film
photovoltaicdevices.The sonochemical effects of ultrasound
on two lower silanes, namely cyclopentasilane(Si5H10) and
trisilane (Si3H8) were studied. The processing of the
silanes wascarried out in the inert N2-atmosphere and in
solution using cyclooctane (C8H16)as solvent at ambient
pressure, and at temperatures between -15–70 $^{\circ}$C.
Using cyclopentasilane as monomer molecule it was shown via
size exclusion chromatography and optical transmission
measurements that sonication of 8–15 wt\% solutions
results in ring-opening polymerization without the need to
use ultraviolet light. In addition, through comparisons to
purely thermally treated solutions it was demonstrated that
the polymerization process is not initiated pyrolytically
due to the “macroscopic” temperature of the solution
itself, but rather that microscopic effects associated with
acoustic cavitation are most likely responsible for
triggering polymer growth. [...]},
