Abstract

The invention relates to a method for manufacture of a semiconductor component by the formation of a hydrogenous layer containing silicon on a substrate comprising or containing silicon such as a wafer or film. In order to achieve a good surface and volume passivation, it is proposed that during formation of the siliceous layer in the form of SiN O with 0<x&lE;1.5 and 0&lE;y&lE;2 one or more catalytically acting dopants are selectively added into the layer which release hydrogen from the SiN O layer. The concentration C of the dopants is 1&times;10 cm &lE;C&lE;10 cm .
