The influence of deposition temperature (Ts) on glass/stainless steel-based intrinsic amorphous/microcrystalline silicon thin film prepared at different temperature was investigated by PECVD technology. The crystallization ratio and grain size of the silicon thin film at different deposition temperature is studied. The results reveal that the crystallization ratio and grain size of silicon thin film changed along with Ts. The crystallization ratio and grain size of the silicon thin film become larger when Ts=400 °C. On this work, optimal μc-Si:H can be obtained at 400°C deposition temperature in the suitable experimental conditions.

For heteroepitaxial systems, such as silicon on sapphire (SOS), microtwins occur in significant numbers and are thought to contribute to strain relief in the silicon thin film. The size of this contribution can be assessed from TEM measurements, of the differential volume fraction of microtwins, dV/dν (the derivative of the microtwin volume V with respect to the film volume ν), for SOS grown by both chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and molecular beam epitaxy (MBE).In a (001) silicon thin film subjected to compressive stress along the [100] axis , this stress can be relieved by four twinning systems: a/6[211]/( lll), a/6(21l]/(l1l), a/6[21l] /( l1l), and a/6(2ll)/(1ll).3 For the a/6[211]/(1ll) system, the glide of a single a/6[2ll] twinning partial dislocation draws the two halves of the crystal, separated by the microtwin, closer together by a/3.
