Popis: Polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) films were deposited on glass by very high-frequency (100 MHz) plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition from a gaseous mixture of SiF4 and H2 with small amounts of SiH4. (2 2 0) oriented films prepared at small SiF4/H2 ratios ( 7.2×10 −4 S/cm . This conductivity exhibited a T−1/4 behavior, suggesting a high defect density at the grain boundaries. It was found that in situ hydrogen plasma treatment successfully produced (4 0 0) oriented poly-Si with a reasonably low σd of 4.5×10 −7 S/cm and a good photoconductivity of 1.3×10 −4 S/cm .
