Mirror smooth thin films of polycrystalline silicon suitable for FET device processing have been chemically vapor deposited from silane at 650 C on different insulating materials. Hall mobilities of p-type and n-type films have been measured for carrier concentrations between 10**1**4/cc and 10**2**0/cc. Unusually high mobilities, within a factor of two of bulk silicon, were obtained in the 10**1**4/cc to 10**1**7/cc carrier concentration range. In situ vapor doping control was irreproducible for carrier concentrations below 5 multiplied by 10**1**8/cc. Evidence from radiochemical analysis, electron microscopy, and x-ray analysis indicates that there is a large concentration of electrically inactive dopant which is postulated to be in the grain boundaries. Undoped polysilicon films could be deposited with resistivities greater than 10**6 ohm-cm.
