本文中,我们采用空心阴极等离子体增强化学气相沉积(MHC-PECVD)在玻璃、表面溅射氧化铟锡(ITO)的玻璃(玻璃+ITO)以及表面溅射ITO的聚酰亚胺(PI+ITO)柔性衬底上沉积氢化微晶硅(μc-Si:H),研究不同衬底材料对微晶硅薄膜性质的影响。我们发现在 PI+ITO衬底上沉积薄膜的结晶率(Xc)最小,且结晶率最大值时的温度依赖沉底材料:对于 PI+ITO 衬底来说,结晶率最大值时的温度为200℃,而对于玻璃和玻璃+ITO 衬底来说,这个温度会在250℃-300℃之间浮动。我们认为PI+ITO衬底上薄膜较低的结晶率与其较高的热膨胀系数(CTE)以及小分子和气体的释放有关。
In this work , we employed micro-hollow cathode (MHC)to perform plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD)of hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon (μc-Si:H). The impact of substrate materials on the μc-Si:H film quality was explored . Three kinds of substrates , i . e . glass , indium tin oxide (ITO)coating glass and ITO coated polyimide(PI)were selected for these researches . We found that crystalline volume fraction (notated as Xc)on the ITO coated PI substrate was the smallest in three kinds of substrates , and the temperature at maximum Xc depends on substrate materials:for ITO coated PI substrate , the temperature at maximum Xc was 200℃, whereas it was 250℃-300℃ for the glass and ITO coated glass sub-strates.We assume that the lower Xc on the ITO coated PI substrate is related to the high expansion coefficient of plastic and the small molecules and gas releasing from the substrate .
