Book Description
Using ECR-CVD (electron cyclotron resonance-chemical vapor deposition), we can make amorphous-silicon (a-Si) and nanocrystalline (nc-Si) thin films. We are looking forward to improve the photo/dark conductivity ratio (sigma(sub p)/sigma(sub d)) by measuring the photo and dark current-voltage (I-V). In the ECR deposition, there are several factors which we can control and adjust for improved results, such as the amounts of silane and argon, the vacuum, and the temperature of the substrate. These become the critical factors for ECR deposition in order to make better films. Input gases consist of Ar, 2%SiH4 in He and H2. In the process, SiH4 is decomposed into SiH(x). A residual gas analyzer (RGA) gives composition in the plasma. Because Ar possibly etches the substrate and Si is to be deposited, the best RGA signal is obtained with low Ar content. This work serves to correlate process conditions, RGA signals and electrical data. The best RGA signal occurs for 5 mTorr Ar, 60 mTorr SiH4:He, and power of 600 W. Best value of dark conductivity (Q sub d)) was 1.53 x 10(exp -9) S/cm and 1.58 x 10(exp 5) S/cm for photo conductivity (sigma (sub p)) High value of sigma(sub p) and low value of sigma(sub d) indicate material with fewer defects. Adding extra H2. improves the photo-conductivity (sigma(sub p)) Applications of these films are heterojunction solar cells and thin film transistors. The heterojunction solar cell had a structure of metal grid/500 deg. A of a Si:H/p-Si wafer/Ohmic contact. These cells gave an open circuit voltage (V) = 0.51(V) and short circuit current density (J(sub sc)) = 5.5 mA/sq cm under 50 mW/sq cm tungsten halogen lamp. Thin film transistors using nc-Si, with gate length/width (L/W) = 450/65 gave field effect mobility of 18 sq cm/V-s, and Ion/Ioff of 1.25 x 10(exp 5).

Languages : en
Pages : 511
Book Description
This is the first reference on amorphous silicon and polycrystalline silicon thin film transistors that gives a systematic global review of all major topics in the field. These volumes include sections on basic materials and substrates properties, fundamental device physics, critical fabrication processes (structures, a-Si: H, dielectric, metallization, catalytic CVD), and existing and new applications. The chapters are written by leading researchers who have extensive experience with reputed track records. Thin Film Transistors provides practical information on preparing individual functional a-Si: H TFTs and poly-Si TFTs as well as large-area TFT arrays. Also covered are basic theories on the a-Si: H TFT operations and unique material characteristics. Readers are also exposed to a wide range of existing and new applications in industries.
