Abstract:
Using SiH4and H2 as source gases, the polycrystalline silicon thin films were prepared on glass by electron cyclotron resonance plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (ECR-PECVD) technique. The effects of the deposition parameters, such as the substrate temperature, the flow ratio of H2 and the microwave power, were investigated by XRD, Raman spectrum and TEM. The results show that most of the poly-Si films have a (220) preferential orientation. While in some cases, (111) preferentially oriented silicon films are obtained. The films with the optimum crystal state can be deposited at substrate temperature of 300 ℃, hydrogen flow ratio of 25 mL/min, and microwave power of 600 W.
