Hydrogenated poly-crystalline silicon thin films are deposited by inductively coupled plasma assisted pulsed dc twin magnetron sputtering at a temperature below 300 ℃. The samples are characterized by X-ray diffraction, Raman scattering, transmission electron microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The relationship between hydrogen dilution ratio and the characteristic of thin film is studied systematically. The mechanism of crystallization is discussed on the basis of the results of diagnosis of plasma by Langmuir probe and optical emission spectra.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
