Abstract

Various fluoride films on a glass substrate were prepared and characterized to provide a seed layer for silicon (Si) film growth. The XRD analysis on CaF2/glass illustrated (220) preferential orientation and showed lattice mismatch less than 0.69% with Si. This paper demonstrates microcrystalline silicon (μc-Si) film growth at a low substrate temperature of 300°C by using a CaF2/glass substrate. The μc-Si films exhibited crystallization in (111) and (220) planes, grain size of 700 A, crystalline volume fraction over 65%, dark- and photo-conductivity ratio of 124, activation energy of 0.49 eV, and dark conductivity less than 4 × 10-7 S/cm.
