Boron-doped polycrystalline silicon film was synthesized using hot wire chemical vapor deposition technique for possible application in photonics devices. To investigate the effect of substrate, we considered Si/SiO2, glass/ITO/TiO2, Al2O3, and nickel tungsten alloy strip for the growth of polycrystalline silicon films. Scanning electron microscopy, optical reflectance, optical transmittance, X-ray diffraction, and I-V measurements were used to characterize the silicon films. The resistivity of the film was 1.3 × 10−2 Ω-cm for the polycrystalline silicon film, which was suitable for using as a window layer in a solar cell. These films have potential uses in making photodiode and photosensing devices.

The current miniaturization trend in the market of inertial microsystems is leading to movable device parts with sizes comparable to the characteristic length-scale of the polycrystalline silicon film morphology. The relevant output of micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) is thus more and more affected by a scattering, induced by features resulting from the micro-fabrication process. We recently proposed an on-chip testing device, specifically designed to enhance the aforementioned scattering in compliance with fabrication constraints. We proved that the experimentally measured scattering cannot be described by allowing only for the morphology-affected mechanical properties of the silicon films, and etch defects must be properly accounted for too. In this work, we discuss a fully stochastic framework allowing for the local fluctuations of the stiffness and of the etch-affected geometry of the silicon film. The provided semi-analytical solution is shown to catch efficiently the measured scattering in the C-V plots collected through the test structure. This approach opens up the possibility to learn on-line specific features of the devices, and to reduce the time required for their calibration.

The structural, optical, and conductivity properties of silicon film deposited on cerium dioxide buffer layer were studied. The electronic structure of system consists of various defect levels inside band gap. The temperature spatial distribution plays a great role in silicon crystallization. The field destruction of crystal phase and its restoration, after annealing, were investigated.
