A Study on the Variation of Surface Roughness of a-Si According to Recrystallization

In this study, we observed the surface morphology of amorphous silicon annealed at $700{\sim}1000^{\circ}C$ for recrystallization. In case of $700{\sim}800^{\circ}C$ annealing, deposited amorphous silicon have the saturated XRD intensity and decreased surface roughness after annealing for 3 hours. It is thought that surface roughness of amorphous silicon increases because of contributions caused by atomic rearrangement of surface, for instance, surface stress etc., in the course of recrystallinzation and decrease because of the relaxation of stress by annealing in reaching completion of recrystallization. In case of $1000^{\circ}C$ annealing, the effect of grain size on deposited silicon is more effective than that of surface roughness. These results show that small grain silicon has the stronger dependence on surface roughness than large grain one.
