Abstract
The aim of this paper is to show that superelastic collisions between electrons and vibrationally excited silane molecules may influence the kinetics of electrons in silane discharges. It was found that non-equilibrium vibrational temperature as large as 2000 K may be expected which increases significantly the rate of dissociation (and of other inelastic processes) as compared to the results for the gas in equilibrium at the room temperature.
