摘要
Hydrogenated nanocrystalline silicon films have been deposited by RF sputtering in a pure hydrogen plasma using both lightly and highly doped silicon target with 1015 cm-3 and 1019 cm-3 concentration of boron atoms, respectively. The effect of the doping level and the role of SiH2 species on the thickness and recrystallization of the unintentionally grown amorphous buffer layer have been examined and evidenced by combining infrared absorption measurements and transmission electron microscopy observations.
