Abstract

A novel plasma enhanced vapor deposition (PECVD) technique employing biased wall (BW) method has been developed for the enhanced growth rate of the hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon (μc-Si:H) films. Using this method, we have achieved a growth rate of more than 6Å/sec for the formation of μc-Si-H having an average grain size of 200Å; at 350°C.
