AbstractHighly conductive epiraxial silicon thin films, with conductivities more than 680 ¥Ø-1cm-1, were obtained using plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) technique at 300¢ªC. The effect of hydrogen in growth of low temperature extrinsic Si thin films was studied using conductivity, Hall, and Raman measurements, and it was shown that epitaxial growth was possible at hydrogen dilution (HD) ratios more than 85%. The epitaxial growth of the extrinsic Si thin films at high hydrogen dilution regime was confirmed by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM).

P-type poly-Si thin films prepared by low temperature Aluminum-induced crystallization and doping are reported. The starting material was boron-doped a-Si:H prepared by PECVD on glass substrates. Aluminum layers with different thicknessess were evaporated on a-Si:H surface and conventional thermal annealing was performed at temperatures ranging from 300 to 550°C. XRD, SIMS, TEM and Hall effect measurements were carried out to characterize the annealed films. Results show that a-Si:H contacted with adequate Al could be crystallized at temperature as low as 300°C after annealing for 60 minutes. This material has high carrier concentration as well as high Hall mobility can be used as a p-layer or seed layer for thin film poly-Si solar cells. The technique reported here is compatible with PECVD process.
