Abstract:Aluminum-induced crystallization (AIC) has been used to achieve device quality nc-Si thin films, at annealing temperatures ranging from 300 to 450°C, exhibiting electronic properties favourable for piezoresistive microelectromechanical systems sensor application. The nc-Si films obtained by AIC at an annealing temperature of 400°C showed hole concentration of the order of 10 18 cm −3 and the Hall mobility was measured to be 13.5 cm 2 V −1 s −1 . The films were subjected to piezoresistive gauge factor measureme… Show more
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.
