defect ratios, hydrogen contents, and film growth rates as a function of different incident radical energies to understand the effect of the radical energization on the properties. The following matters are discussed in this paper; (i) new Tersoff-type interatomic potential expression, (ii) aSi:H thin-film growth model, (iii) a relation between SiH 3 radical migrations and defect ratios (iv) an evaluation of hydrogen content and film growth rate. THEORETICAL METHODS Interatomic Potential In this work, a many-body Tersoff-type interatomic potential expression [6], two-body term implicitly including three-body term, has been improved to describe Si-H interactions. A total energy U as a function of atomic coordinates is given as the following. U =7 i [ia ij Vr(rij)- bij Va (rij (1) i
