Aluminium induced crystallization (AIC) technique can be used to form the high-quality and large-grained polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) thin films, which are with the thickness of similar to 200 nm and used as a seed layer, on silicon nitride coated glass substrate. Thanks to aluminium metal in AIC process, the natural doping of AIC thin films is p(+) type (similar to 2 x 10(18) cm(-3)). On the other hand, recombination of carriers can be controlled by partial doping through the defects that may have advantages to improve the thin film quality by the overdoping induced passivation. In this study, boron (B) and phosphorus (P) doped AIC seed layers were thicken to similar to 2 mu m by solid phase epitaxy (SPE) technique at 800 degrees C for 3 h under nitrogen flow in a tube furnace. During the crystallization annealing, exodiffusion of dopants was formed through the SPE film from the AIC seed layer. Optical microscope and electron back scattering diffraction technique (EBSD) were used to analyse the structural quality of the Si films. The poly-Si layer with an average grain size value of similar to 32 mu m was formed by AIC + SPE technique for P doped samples while EBSD analysis gave no results for B doped samples due to the quite deterioration on the surface of the films. AIC + SPE films were analyzed in terms of structural properties by using micro-Raman Spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction systems. The results showed that the crystallinity of compressive stress formed AIC + SPE films reached up to 98.55%. Additionally, the Raman analysis pointed out that no temperature-induced stress were generated in the AIC + SPE films while compressive stress was induced by increasing the annealing duration for doped AIC film. For all samples, the preferred orientation was < 100 >, and the crystallite size up to 44.4 nm was formed by phosphorus doping of AIC films. The doping efficiency was determined by time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectroscopy for doped samples. A graded n(+)n doping profile was obtained by exo-diffusion of phosphorus from the overdoped seed layer during the epitaxial thickening while boron doping of SPE film has failed with exo-diffusion of boron from AIC seed layer into SPE film. Finally, high-quality n(+)n type poly-Si films were fabricated on glass substrate by using AIC + SPE technique.

Polysilicon thin films fabricated by solid phase crystallization using reformed crystallization annealing technique
Özmen, Özge Tüzün; Karaman, M.; Turan, Raşit (Elsevier BV, 2014-01-31)
In this work, a reformed crystallization annealing technique is presented for the solid phase crystallization (SPC) of amorphous silicon (a-Si) on SiNx-coated quartz substrate. This technique includes a two-step annealing process which consists of a low-temperature (475 degrees C) classical furnace annealing for nucleation of Si and a high-temperature (900 degrees C) grain growth process of polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) during thermal annealing in classical tube furnace. The aim of this reformed two-ste...
Frequency dependence of conductivity in intrinsic amorphous silicon carbide film, assessed through admittance measurement of metal insulator semiconductor structure
Ozdemir, O; Atilgan, I; Akaoglu, B; Sel, K; Katircioglu, B (Elsevier BV, 2006-02-21)
A slightly carbon rich hydrogenated amorphous silicon carbide (a-SiCx:H) film was deposited by 13.56 MHz plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition technique on p-type silicon (p-Si) wafer. Admittance analyses of the metal-insulator-semiconductor device (Al/a-SiCx:H/p-Si)from strong accumulation to strong inversion gate bias were achieved within a widespread frequency range (10(1)-10(6) Hz). An adequate equivalent circuit for each bias regime was proposed. The dependence of the ac conductivity both under str...
Effects of boron doping on solid phase crystallization of in situ doped amorphous Silicon thin films prepared by electron beam evaporation
Sedani, Salar H.; Yasar, Ozlen F.; Karaman, Mehmet; Turan, Raşit (Elsevier BV, 2020-01-31)
In this work, we studied solid-phase crystallization of boron-doped non-hydrogenated amorphous Si films fabricated by electron beam evaporation equipped with effusion cells (e-Beam EC) on silicon nitride coated glass substrates. We investigated the effect of boron doping on the crystallization kinetics through a series of experiments with different boron doping concentrations controlled by the effusion cell temperature. We employed Raman spectroscopy, time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectroscopy, grazing ...
The effect of substrate and post-annealing temperature on the structural and optical properties of polycrystalline InSe thin films
Parlak, Mehmet (Elsevier BV, 1998-06-08)
X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, compositional analysis and transmission measurements are performed on InSe thin films grown by thermal evaporation at different substrate and annealing temperatures of 150-250 degrees C and 100-200 degrees C, respectively. An analysis of structural measurements indicates that there exist three phases of In-Se system like InSe, In2Se3 and In6Se7 in the same film at low-substrate temperature, but at high-substrate temperatures, In2Se3 phase was absent. The comp...
Thickness and optical constant distributions of PECVD a-SiCx : H thin films along electrode radial direction
Akaoglu, B; Atilgan, I; Katircioglu, B (Elsevier BV, 2003-08-01)
Two sets of hydrogenated amorphous silicon carbide (a-SiCx:H) thin films were grown on glass and c-Si substrates by Plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) technique at pressures of 0.5 and 0.1 Torr. The influence of the pressure on the distribution of thicknesses, refractive indices at 632.8 nm and optical gaps from the edge to the center of the bottom electrode of PECVD system is examined by transmission, single wavelength ellipsometry and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. A recently intr...
