Abstract
AbstractConditions leading to high conductivities (up to 300 S/cm) in chlorosilane-based boron-doped microcrystalline Si:Cl:H films are investigated. It is found that the high conductivity originates primarily from the growth of highly crystalline material with a high concentration of boron. Furthermore, these films grow with relatively low chlorine and hydrogen concentrations of a few percent and, according to effusion measurements of hydrogen and implanted helium, in a relatively compact structure. At a boron doping level of 1%, admixture of 10% silane to the tetrachlorosilane results in the growth of amorphous material of low conductivity while for admixture of up to 90% of silicontetrafluoride, microcrystalline Si films with high conductivities can be grown.
