abstract = {A study on the microstructure of intrinsic,
microcrystalline silicon (mu c-Si:H) layers deposited with
various silane concentrations is presented. The layers were
fabricated in a large-area Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapor
Deposition (PECVD) system on rough TCO-coated substrates.
The microstructure was investigated by Raman spectroscopy
and X-ray diffraction (XRD) in two different geometries. The
structural properties are related to the performance of
solar cells deposited together with the mu c-Si:H layers.
The crystalline volume fraction of the studied films ranged
from highly crystalline to amorphous as derived from Raman
spectroscopy and Grazing Incidence XRD. A hexagonal silicon
phase, which is related to stacking faults and twins
appeared in Bragg--Brentano and Grazing Incidence
diffractograms, and revealed that these types of defects
occur more pronounced on crystal planes that grow parallel
to the sample surface. By evaluating the integrated
intensity ratio of the {220} to {111} reflection of cubic
silicon a small preferential orientation (texture) was
observed for the high-crystalline material. Material close
to the transition to amorphous phase (that leads to an
optimum in solar cell performance) exhibits no preferential
orientation. This shows that for the material under
investigation - which is optimized for tandem solar cell
with efficiencies above $12\%$ - a preferential orientation
is not a requirement to achieve device-quality material for
good solar cell performance. (C) 2011 Elsevier By. All
