AbstractThe electrical conductivity of nc-Si films grown from SiF4 and H2 with constant arsenic doping rises from 10-5 to 10 Scm-1 as the thickness rises from ˜ 0.1 to 1 μm. This variation demonstrates the strong influence of film structure on conductivity. We show that the conductivity of undoped nc-Si films of constant thickness can be varied by adding SiH4 to the SiF4 and H2 source gas.

ABSTRACTLow temperature growth of thin crystalline Si films on amorphous glass substrates by Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) as well as by two different plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD) systems both using a DC plasma was carried out and the mictrostructural properties were analysed. In particular, the control over the texture along [220] orientation and the resulting columnar nature of the films were studied. The TEM cross section of Si films grown by MBE shows grains with an average width of 750 nm and a length of 3 microns. Using the low energy PECVD (LEPECVD) technique microcrystalline Si films were obtained with a growth rate of up to 35Å/sec. For high quality Si films with larger grains one may grow Si films by MBE whereas for Si films with passivated grain boundaries and for increased deposition rate, it is preferred to grow Si films by the newly developed methods of DC-PECVD.
