Notes:
Polycrystalline silicon (polysilicon) films are deposited on thermally oxidized silicon above 250 °C by pyrolyzing silane by a tungsten heater. The deposition rate and the structure of the polysilicon films are a function of substrate temperature, heater current, and total pressure. Polysilicon films deposited at 340 and 450 °C have 〈110〉 and 〈100〉 preferred orientations. Films deposited at other temperatures have no preferred orientations. The resistivity varies in a range of 4×107–5×10−4 Ω cm as the heater current increases from 19 to 24 A. Lower resistivities are caused by the fact that tungsten evaporating from the heater during deposition is doped into the polysilicon.
