Abstract

This paper describes properties of microcrystalline silicon (μc-Si), and microcrystalline silicon-carbon (μc-SiC) thin films formed by the process of remote plasma-enhanced chemical-vapor deposition (PECVD). We discuss: (i) the way that the remote PECVD deposition process is applied to the deposition of μc-Si and μc-SiC thin films; (ii) the characterization and properties of the intrinsic and doped μc-Si thin film materials; (iii) the characterization and properties of the intrinsic and doped μc-SiC thin film materials; and (iv) the application of remote PECVD μc-Si and μc-SiC thin films in device structures.
