The error in the density is estimated from the repro-
ducibility of the CRD measurements. The figure
shows a clear correlation, which is a minimum re-
quirement when silyl would be a dominant contribu-
tor to a-Si:H film growth.
Besides the correlation, a more quantitative argu-
ment can be obtained to prove the dominance of the
silyl contribution to a-Si:H growth. The silicon

We demonstrated the applicability of the cavity
ring down technique for the measurement of small
broadband absorptions at deep UV wavelengths. The
CRD technique is found to be well suited for the
detection of small amounts of the short lived silyl
