摘要
We report on the deposition of stable wurtzite Si islands in a silicon oxide deposition process with N2O-Silane plasma ([SiH4] < 2%). They were brought to the fore by Raman spectroscopy using a high resolution microprobe. By means of group theory, we were able to discriminate among these clusters, wurtzite silicon, diamond silicon and mixed crystals. We showed experimentally that they were the result of dust formation in the N2O-SiH4 radiofrequency discharge.
