Abstract:In this paper we study the changes in the microstructural and optical properties of silicon thin films produced by the variation of the parameters (temperature and pressure) of the low-pressure chemical vapour deposition (LPCVD) process. Silicon thin films prepared by LPCVD on oxidized silicon substrates over a large range of process parameters (Tdep=500-615°C, pdep=20-100 Pa) have been characterized by Raman spectroscopy, spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) techniques. The phase transition of as-deposited silicon from an amorphous to a crystalline phase via an intermediate mixed phase (few grains in amorphous silicon matrix) can be monitored by the changes in the optical properties and in the Raman spectra. LPCVD parameters, which control the deposition kinetics, are able to influence the optical properties, the structure and/or morphology of the as-deposited LPCVD silicon films. The SE and Raman results prove that it is possible to grow by LPCVD (from pure silane), a silicon film in a (poly)crystalline state at a temperature as low as 500°C.
