摘要
A novel high-density microwave plasma utilizing a spokewise antenna was produced and applied for high-rate and low-temperature deposition of hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon (mu c-Si:H) film. The plasma maintains a uniform state, i.e., high electron density, n(e) > 10(11) cm(-3) and low temperature, T-e of 2-2.5 eV in pure Ar plasma over 20 cm in a diameter. High deposition rate was achieved of 47 Angstrom/s in the growth of highly crystallized and photoconductive mu c-Si : H film at the axial distance, Z = 6 cm from the quartz glass plate from SiH4 and Ar without the use of H-2 dilution method at low substrate temperature, T-s of 250 degrees C. The effects of the total pressure, H-2 dilution ratio, flow rate of SiH4, Fr(SiH4) and the axial distance, Z from the quartz glass plate on the mu c-Si : H him deposition are discussed along with the plasma diagnostics.
