Extract

Structural relaxation of amorphous Si is studied in the temperature range 500-850 °C using Raman spectroscopy. The minumum value for the Raman peakwidth that can be obtained is inversely proportional to the anneal temperature. The relaxation process is basically the same in a-Si prepared by ion implantation and by vacuum evaporation.
