Super Large Grain Polycrystalline Silicon Obtained from Pyrolysis of Si2H6 and Annealing

Abstract
Polycrystalline silicon films on SiO2 are formed by Low Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition from disilane at 450°C and subsequent annealing at 600°C. Homogeneity performances of the deposition are given, which compares with those of Si deposition from SiH4. The structure of the polysilicon material obtained after annealing is shown. The resulting grain size is much larger than the one that could be obtained by Si deposition from SiH4 and annealing. An optical evaluation of the film is given, confirming the potential of Si2H6 for the fabrication of high field effect mobility thin film transistors.
