Ion bombardment effects on microcrystalline silicon growth mechanisms and on the film properties

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The structural properties of thick and thin films were studied to investigate the role of ions on the growth of microcrystalline silicon films produced by the standard hydrogen dilution of silane in a radio frequency glow discharge. The ion energy was tuned by codepositing series of samples on the grounded electrode and on the powered electrode. Fully crystallized films were achieved on glass substrates under conditions of high energy ion bombardment.
