Abstract

In this study, we have investigated the recrystallization behaviors of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) films by post-growth thermal annealing as a function of microwave power using electron cyclotron resonance chemical vapor deposition (ECRCVD). The crytallinity of annealed a-Si:H films depends on the porosity of the as-deposited thin films. We suggested that the film with high porosity has lowest crystallinity due to strong oxygen diffusion and formation of SiOx inside the film.
