Abstract:
1. A multi-crystalline structure formed on a semiconductor body, comprising: preparing the semiconductor body to have an oxide or an oxynitride region and a monocrystalline silicon substrate region; and concurrently forming an amorphous silicon layer directly on the oxide or the oxynitride region, and a monocrystalline silicon layer directly on the monocrystalline silicon substrate region by a process of forming multiple sub-layers at different pressures, wherein the ratio of a thickness of the monocrystalline silicon layer to a thickness of the amorphous silicon layer is between 2:1 and 2:2; preparing the semiconductor body to have a polysilicon substrate region; and concurrently forming a polycrystalline silicon layer directly on a polysilicon substrate, wherein the ratio of a thickness of the monocrystalline silicon layer to a thickness of the polycrystalline silicon layer is between 2:1 and 2:2, and wherein the ratio of the thickness of the polycrystalline silicon layer to the thickness of the amorphous silicon layer is greater than 1:1.
