Room Temperature Fabrication of Micro-Crystalline Silicon Films for Tft's By Ecr Pecvd
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 February 2011
Abstract
Microcrystalline silicon films were formed at room temperature without hydrogen dilution by ECR PECVD. Microwave power more than 400 W was necessary to get crystalline films and the crystallinity increased with the power thereafter. Addition of hydrogen and argon enhanced the crystalline phase formation and the deposition rate, the reason of which was found that hydrogen etched silicon films and argon addition drastically increased the etch rate. Annealing of the films showed that microcrystalline silicon films formed by ECR PECVD have a small fraction of amorphous phase. TFT's using silicon nitride and doped/undoped microcrystalline silicon films were fabricatedd with whole processes at room temperature.
