Abstract

We have used remote PECVD to deposit highly-doped μc-Si films for use as gate electrodes in MOS capacitors. The flatband voltages of capacitors with different oxide thicknesses have been measured by high-frequency capacitance-voltage and have been used to determine the work function difference between an n-type μc-Si electrode and a p-type c-Si substrate. This value for ϕμs is discussed in terms of a band diagram for the stacked-gate MOS device, and is compared to the expected value.
