Description

The hydrogenated nanocrystalline silicon (nc-Si:H) thin films were deposited by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition(PECVD). The as-deposited films were annealed, and the microstructure and mechanical properties were investigated by XRD, Raman spectra and nanoindenter. The results show that the crystallinity, hardness and elastic modulus have been improved when annealing at 400 deg. C, but the mechanical properties became worse when annealing at 6000C.
