TY - JOUR PY - 2004// TI - Diffusion of Chromium in Thin Hydrogenated Amorphous Silicon Films JO - Semiconductors A1 - Persheyev, S.K. A1 - Drapacz, P.R. A1 - Rose, M.J. A1 - Fitzgerald, A.G. SP - 344 EP - 346 VL - 38 IS - 3 N2 - The diffusion of a chromium bottom contact has been studied through thin 10-nm amorphous silicon film. The concentration of the diffused impurity has been analyzed by an X-ray photon spectroscopy technique and the diffusion coefficient was estimated. Diffusion annealing was carried out in vacuum (10-6 mTorr), the temperature was kept at 400°C, and the annealing time was varied from 0 to 300 min. The authors propose that diffusion of chromium in thin hydrogenated amorphous film is limited by suicide formation at the metal-silicon interface. © 2004 MAIK "Nauka/ Interperiodica".
