摘要

Defect creation mechanisms during solid phse crystallization (SPC) of Si thin films were investigated with PECVD amorphous precursor samples produced with various deposition temperatures and thicknesses. These precursor films were implanted with dopant and then crystallized to obtain both SPC and dopant activation. The doping efficiendcy was found to decrease with the tensile stress level as mesured by Raman shift. The stress shows a decrease as the precursor deposition temperature and thickness are lowered. Furthermore, a lower level of stress is induced by rapid thermal annealing when the annelaing temperature is high enough to soften the glass substrate on which the films were deposited. We show that by controol of stress during the SPC step, intragrain defect density can be lowered and electronic quanity of the resulting polycrystalline Si films can be improved. Based on these observations, we propose the following tentative model to explain the defect creation: during SPC, tensile sress evolutioon if considered to result from the volumetric contraction of Si film when it transforms from the amorphous to crystalline phase. This contraction is retarded by the substrate, which imposes a tensile stress on the film. A high level of stress leads to formation of structural defects inside the grains of the resulting polycrystalline material. These defects trap carriers or complex with the dopant reducing doping efficiency.
