  • Abstract
    Polycrystalline Si growth on foreign substrates was carried out by plasma enhanced CVD using dichlorosilane (SiH2Cl2). Preferentially oriented polycrystalline Si films suitable for thin film solar cells could be achieved at a substrate temperature of 750~800°C with a reasonable deposition rate. Effects of plasma decomposition of the source gas were discussed relating to preferential orientation and deposition rates
