摘要
We study the amorphous to microcrystalline silicon phase transition in hot-wire chemical vapor deposition thin-film silicon by depositing a series of unique, thickness-graded, samples on a glass substrate at 200degreesC. By inserting or withdrawing a motor-driven shutter during growth, we make samples that vary from 200 to about 2000 A thick across each 5-cm along stripe. Each stripe is grown at a different dilution ratio of hydrogen to silane in the source gas. The phase composition at various locations was determined by Raman and ultraviolet-reflectivity measurements. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) images of topology reveal that the surface changes from a rather smooth a-Si phase to more granular microcrystalline-Si (rms roughness increases from 10 to 47 Angstrom).
