Popis: Polycrystalline silicon films were grown on Si 3 N 4 by CVD from a SiH 4 /H 2 ambient at 900°C and at atmospheric pressure. A two-stage nucleation process enabled SEM observation of isolated single crystals in addition to the more familiar dense poly layers. The direction of fast growth is 〈110〉 and the crystals are bounded by slow growing {111} and {100} faces. Novel surface features are reported that presumable arise from the action of stress and impurities during growth of these layers.
