Abstract

We have developed a large area ion shower doping system with an RF plasma ion source. The ion current density (i.e., doping concentration) increases with RF power and acceleration voltage. Using this technique, we investigated the optimum condition for ion doping of phosphorus in a-Si:H and poly-Si films. The optimum acceleration voltage and doping time are 6KV and 90sec, respectively, in a-Si:H films. Under this condition the electrical conductivity of ion-doped a-Si:H film is obtained ~10$^{-3}$/cm at room temperature. The sheet resistance decreases witnh acceleration voltage in ion-doped poly-Si, and a heavily-doped layer with a sheet resistance of 920$\Omega$/ㅁ is obtained by using ion doping and subsequent activation.
