摘要
An ex situ study of surface morphology of amorphous (a-Si:H) and microcrystalline silicon (mu c-Si:H) has been carried out to understand their growth mechanism using an atomic force microscope. For a-Si:H, a standard Karder, Parisi and Zhang (KPZ) model well describes the kinetics of the roughness evolution with increasing film thickness except at T(s) similar to 360 degrees C, where a significant roughness enhancement is observed. The morphology of mu c-Si:H on Si(001) substrate shows a similar roughness formation at much lower temperatures of 150 to 200 degrees C. This roughness formation is found to be correlated with the surface hydrogen coverage. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
