Structural characterization of ?c-Si:H films produced by R.F. magnetron sputtering
Microcrystalline silicon thin films were produced by R.F. magnetron sputtering. The microstructure of these films has been studied by X-ray diffraction, Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Raman spectroscopy. Average values of crystalline size and strain obtained by the different techniques used are critically compared and the reasons for the differences are discussed.
