Abstract

We studied on the effect of a deposition condition of precursor a-Si thin films on the shape and micro-structure of MILC. The a-Si thin films were prepared by Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) with silane and hydrogen as a source gas and the deposition temperature was varied from 100 to 400∼. The a-Si films deposited at a lower temperature showed a tendency to (111) crystals and leaving some a-Si residues in MILC region, while those with higher deposition temperature tended to be crystallized to (110). These differences were explained in terms of original hydrogen content and following structural changes by the dehydrogenation during annealing.
