The energy bandgap (Eg) of silicon thin film prepared by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) is greatly dependent on the deposition conditions. Although the influence of some deposition parameters on Eg has been studied individually, it is still not clear which parameter plays the most important role. Here, a 5-factor 5-level factorial experiment was designed and carried out for the deposition parameters: the flow rate of SiH4, the flow rate of H2, the plasma power, the total gas pressure, and the substrate temperature. By making main effect analysis to the influences of such 5 factors on Eg, not only the influence of each deposition parameter was obtained, but also the most critical parameters were selected out. It was found that the gas flow rate of SiH4 and the total gas pressure played the most important roles on determining Eg of silicon thin film. That is to say, in order to obtain an expected Eg for Si thin film prepared by PECVD, much attention should be paid to optimize the two parameters. However, other parameters, including the H2 flow rate, the plasma power and the substrate temperature, can be set as default values according to the experience. Thus, the optimization workload can be reduced greatly.

For heteroepitaxial systems, such as silicon on sapphire (SOS), microtwins occur in significant numbers and are thought to contribute to strain relief in the silicon thin film. The size of this contribution can be assessed from TEM measurements, of the differential volume fraction of microtwins, dV/dν (the derivative of the microtwin volume V with respect to the film volume ν), for SOS grown by both chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and molecular beam epitaxy (MBE).In a (001) silicon thin film subjected to compressive stress along the [100] axis , this stress can be relieved by four twinning systems: a/6[211]/( lll), a/6(21l]/(l1l), a/6[21l] /( l1l), and a/6(2ll)/(1ll).3 For the a/6[211]/(1ll) system, the glide of a single a/6[2ll] twinning partial dislocation draws the two halves of the crystal, separated by the microtwin, closer together by a/3.

AbstractSilicon nitride films prepared by low temperatures are widely applicable as gate insulator films of thin film transistors of liquid crystal displays. In this work, silicon nitride films are formed around 300 °C by deposition and direct nitridation methods in a catalytic chemical vapor deposition system. The properties of the silicon nitride films are investigated. It is found that, 1) the breakdown electric field is over 9MV/cm, 2) the surface state density is about 1011cm−2eV−1 are observed in the deposition films. These result shows the usefulness of the catalytic chemical vapor deposition silicon nitride films as gate insulator material for thin film transistors.
