Abstract
Polycryslalline silicon thin films are promising for device applications. Recombination at the grain boundaries is a crucial parameter, which is a function of sample preparation. We present picosecond measurements of the lifetime of photogenerated carriers in single-crystal and polycrystalline silicon films, grown by low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) at 625°C. The LPCVD films are either as-grown or treated (hydrogenated, doped, or heat treated).
