Abstract

A systematic study was performed to fabricate poly-Si thin films on glass substrates. Amorphous tissues were efficiently removed by forming a textured structure with the aid of atomic hydrogen. According to the real-time observation by spectroscopic ellipsometry(SE), the grain growth was enhanced by permeation of atomic hydrogen into the sub-surface. Hall measurements were made over a rather wide temperature range: 100 K--350 K. A rather high Hall mobility of 20 cm2/Vs or more was obtained at room temperature due to the reduction of amorphous tissues remaining at grain boundaries.
