Microstructure and Thermal Features of a-Si:H and nc-Si:H Thin Films Produced by Rf Sputtering

Article Preview

Abstract:

Amorphous and nanocrystalline silicon thin films have been produced by reactive r.f. sputtering and their microstructure, optical and thermal properties were evaluated. A good correlation was found between the microstructure determined by Raman spectroscopy and X- ray diffraction and the thermal transport parameters.
