Abstract

This paper presents the results of low temperature deposition of poly-Si films deposited on SiO2 layers. Hydrogen dilution, hydrogen atom treatment, and hydrogenation of the SiO2 surface steps were applied to deposit the Si films. The above treatment steps were usually used in the plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition and they were extended to be used in the electron cyclotron resonance chemical vapor deposition to identify the grain growth effects. The nucleation and microstructure of the silicon films were observed by cross-section transmission electron microscopy (XTEM).
