β¦ Synopsis
Hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon (Β΅c-Si:H) films were prepared by inductive coupled plasma chemical vapor deposition (ICP-CVD) system using internal low inductance antenna (LIA) units on various under layer composed of Si, O, and N. The resultant changes in the crystallinity of the Β΅c-Si:H films were investigated using Raman scattering spectroscopy and the details of the interface structure were observed by high resolution transmission electron microscope. We had found that Β΅c-Si:H film on the SiN x layer treated by O 2 plasma has good interface quality. The highly crystallized Β΅c-Si:H films with no amorphous incubation layer at interface of Si/SiN x could be directly deposited on the SiN x layer.

Using an internal inductively coupled plasma (ICP)-type-plasma enhanced vapor deposition system, microcrystalline silicon thin films were deposited as a function of H 2 /SiH 4 gas ratio at 180 Β°C. Especially, the effects of deposition with/without an initial thin silicon layer formed with a very hig
