Effects of substrate temperature and phosphor doping on electrochemical characteristics of the silicon film anode were investigated. The silicon thin films were synthesized directly on copper foil by radio-frequency capacitively coupled plasma-enhanced chemical-vapor deposition (r.f.-CVD). The cyclability of the silicon anode greatly depends on the surface morphology and surface resistivity. The silicon film anodes which have granular structure and high conductivity showed higher cyclabilty than those of planer and low conductivity, respectively.

Polycrystalline Silicon Film

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.

Crystallisation Behaviour

AbstractHigh purity amorphous silicon layers were obtained by ultrahigh vacuum (millitorr range) chemical vapor deposition (UHVCVD) from disilane gas. The crystalline fraction of the films was monitored by in situ electrical conductance measurements performed during isothermal annealings. The experimental conductance curves were fitted with an analytical expression, from which the characteristic crystallisation time, tc, was extracted. Using the activation energy for the growth rate extracted from our previous work, we were able to determine the activation energy for the nucleation rate for the analysed-films. For the films including small crystallites we have obtained En ∼ 2.8 eV, compared to En ∼ 3.7 eV for the completely amorphous ones.

AbstractThe fluorinated amorphous and microcrystalline silicon (a,μc-Si:H;F) films have been prepared by rf plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) with SiH 4 and SiF 4 gas mixtures. The stretching Si-O (1085 cm-1) and SiH2 (2100 cm-1) bands estimated from infrared (IR) spectroscope data have related to the evolution of crystallinity and the optical band gap was shifted by introducing Si-O bonds. The sub-band gap absorption coefficient in a,μc-Si:H;F films was about one order lower than that in hydrogenated amorphous silicon film (a-Si:H). The subband gap absorption in a-Si:H;F film was comparable to that in tic-Si:H;F films. The lightinduced degradation of a,μc-Si:H;F films were also suppressed.
