57−95677号)。Normally, amorphous semiconductors are produced by heating a substrate housed in a high-vacuum reactor to a predetermined temperature, decomposing the raw material gases mixed at the desired ratio by glow discharge, introducing them into the reactor, and then dissolving them onto the substrate. It is manufactured by sequentially layering thin films.

It is common to use methane as the gap material (Japanese Patent Application No. 57-95677).
