Production of silicon films by a silicon fluoride transport reaction is described here. The effect of various deposition parameters including temperature, partial pressure, and gas flow rate on the deposition kinetics was investigated. X‐ray analysis, surface electron spectroscopy, optical absorbance and reflectance, and electrical measurements indicate that the films have properties similar to those of silicon films obtained by CVD from silane.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
