Abstract

We succeeded, for the first time, in depositing a silicon film which features 1000Å-wide single-crystalline grains embedded in a matrix of amorphous tissue. The deposition was done by plasma-enhanced CVD from silane diluted with hydrogen at a considerably high temperature (550°C). 5pm-thick undoped amorphous silicon film was deposited on the above film and was crystallized by a solid phase crystallization method. The polycrystalline silicon film which was obtained has a columnar structure and shows an extremely high electron mobility of 808 cm2/Vs.
