Abstract

This paper describes the effect of aluminium diffusion into and annealing of polycrystalline silicon on the grain boundary traps. It has been shown that diffusion of aluminium at 700°C followed by annealing at a moderately higher temperature of about 450°C reduces the density of trap states at the grain boundaries considerably.
