摘要: Abstract Amorphous silicon and microcrystalline have been deposited on glass plastic (PET) substrates using hot-wire chemical vapor deposition (HW) at substrate temperatures ( T sub ) of 100°C 25°C. The optoelectronic structural properties intrinsic doped films are reviewed. Intrinsic HW a-Si:H is incorporated into a p-i-n diode processed maximum temperature 100°C, achieving rectification ratio 10 6 . mechanical (residual stress) low- layers compared to those radio-frequency-deposited layers. Doped-microcrystalline show piezoresistive behavior. resistance n-type decreases with applied tensile stress increases compressive stress, while p-type the opposite adequate for their use as in thin-film microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). electrical actuation surface micromachined bridge structures microresonators large area demonstrated.
