AbstractHall experiments on a series of microcrystalline, microcrystalline-amorphous, amorphous and crystalline silicon samples with varying defect densities are presented and discussed. Normal Hall effect signatures on boron and phosphorus doped hydrogenated amorphous silicon are detected. We interpret these results to be due to a small volume fraction of nanocrystalline Si, which falls below the detection limits of Raman experiments. Hydrogenated amorphous silicon, prepared under conditions far away from microcrystalline growth, shows the known double sign anomaly, Sign reversals in c-Si, where the disorder is increased by Si implantation up to very high levels, could not be detected.

ABSTRACTThe conductivity of a-Si:H multilayers consisting of alternating boron and phosphorus doped layers has been studied as a function of sub-layer thickness. The planar and perpendicular dark conductivity is compared with theoretical analysis of space-charge doping in these structures and this effect is found to dominate the transport as the sub-layer thickness is reduced below a critical value

ABSTRACTEffects of residual phosphorus in the channel region of amorphous silicon thin film transistors(a-Si TFTs) on the TFT characteristics were quantitatively investigated. Concentration and the depth profile of the residual phosphorus were measured by high resolution secondary ion mass spectroscopy(SIMS). The OFF characteristics of a-Si TFTs were also measured.The SIMS data showed that the phosphorus exists about 100nm deep into intrinsic a-Si(i-a-Si), but the OFF characteristics showed that the activity of the residual phosphorus is 4 order of magnitude lower than that of heavily phosphorus doped a-Si(+-a-Si). The residual phosphorus is found to be inactive and stable, and has little effect on a-Si TFT characteristics.These results enabled us to fabricate inverted staggered a-Si TFTs by the simplest process using only 2 photo-mask steps and 1 self-aligned exposure.
