Abstract

The surface morphology and grain growth of amophous silicon (a-Si) films deposited by low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) have been investigated as a function of deposition and in sltu annealing condition. The film deposited at the amorphous to polycrystalline transition temperature has an extra-rough, rugged surface with (311) t.exture. At the same deposition temperature, the grain structure tends to shirr. from the polycrystalline to the amorphous phase with increasing the film thickness. It is found that nucleation of a-Si during in situ annealing at the transition temperature without breaking the vacuum starts to occur from surface Si atom migration in contrast to a heterogeneous nucleation during film deposition.

저압 화학 기상증착법으로 제작한 비정질 실리콘의 표면 형태 및 결정 성장 과정을 증착조건과 열처리 조건의 변화에 따라 조사하였다. 비정질에서 결정으로 변화하는 전이온도인 570~$590^{\circ}C$에서 증착한 시편은 (311)조직의 거친 표면으로 성장하였다. 같은 증착 온도에서 두께가 두꺼울수록 다결정에서 비정질로 변화하였다. 증착하는 과정에서의 결정화는 기판에서부터 시작되지만, 진공상태를 그대로 유지하고 비정질 실리콘을 전이온도에서 열처리하면 표면 실리콘 원자가 이동하여 결정화하였다.
