Abstract
A method of forming a silicon carbide film containing nanocrystalline silicon is provided. The forming method includes injecting plasma gas onto a substrate to form a silicon carbide film including nanocrystalline silicon. The plasma gas includes a methane (CH4) gas and a silane (SiH4) gas, and the silicon carbide film includes silicon carbide (SiC) or silicon oxycarbide (SiOC). The silicon carbide film and the nanocrystalline silicon are formed at the same time.
Description
The present invention relates to a method of forming a silicon carbide film containing nanocrystalline silicon, and more particularly, to a method of forming a silicon carbide film containing nanocrystalline silicon using a plasma deposition method.
Nano-crystal silicon (Si-NCs) has been recognized as a key element in the development of next-generation silicon-based optoelectronic devices and nano devices have attracted a lot of attention recently.
Processes for forming nanocrystalline structures based on silicon materials include a variety of process methods such as chemical vapor deposition (CVD), magnetron sputtering, and ion implantation. In order to form a nanocrystalline structure of a silicon material, in general, nanocrystal silicon is spontaneously formed by performing a heat treatment process after depositing silicon oxide or silicon nitride on a silicon substrate by a chemical vapor deposition method.
However, in such a process method, since the nanocrystalline silicon can be formed only by performing a heat treatment process at a high temperature (for example, 1000 ° C. or more), there is a problem in that the application range as a silicon-based optoelectronic device cannot be expanded. In particular, the temperature of the manufacturing process of an electronic display device such as a liquid crystal display (LCD), an organic electroluminescent display (OELD), and the like is a very important process condition. It is an obstacle to application in electronic display devices such as EL display devices.
In addition, since the method of forming nanocrystalline silicon on silicon carbide is not disclosed, it is difficult to develop a technology of a silicon carbide thin film mainly used in the next generation solar cell field.
One technical problem to be achieved by the present invention is to provide a method of forming a silicon carbide film containing nanocrystalline silicon.
A plasma gas is injected onto a substrate to provide a method of forming a silicon carbide film including nanocrystalline silicon.
The plasma gas may include a methane (CH 4) gas and a silane (SiH 4) gas, and the silicon carbide layer may include silicon carbide (SiC) or silicon oxycarbide (SiOC). The silicon carbide film and the nanocrystalline silicon are characterized in that formed at the same time.
The present invention provides a method of forming a silicon carbide film containing nanocrystalline silicon using a plasma deposition method.
Silicon carbide containing silicon carbide or silicon oxycarbide has high transmittance and luminous efficiency characteristics, and the nanocrystalline silicon (Si-NCs) has high luminous efficiency by acting as quantum dots having various energy levels. . Therefore, by forming a silicon carbide film containing nanocrystalline silicon according to the present invention, it is possible to increase the luminous efficiency of the silicon carbide film applied to the field of the next-generation solar cell.
In the method of forming a silicon carbide film including nanocrystalline silicon according to the present invention, a silane (SiH4) gas and a methane (CH4) gas are injected into a plasma gas to simultaneously form the nanocrystalline silicon and the silicon carbide film. This allows for a simple process and can be formed at low temperatures, thus reducing manufacturing costs.
In addition, the silicon carbide film including nanocrystalline silicon according to the present invention may be applied to various fields such as transistors, switching devices, memory devices, and solar cells.
