Abstract
In this work, we report on nucleation and growth of polycrystalline silicon thin-film on glass substrate synthesized by ceramics hot wire chemical vapor deposition. We observed perfect geometrical patterns at the surface topography of these films, i.e. “five-fold” symmetry and “sixfold” symmetry. We found “confinement of heat and photon” is a new technique in developing silicon thin-film with novel structure, i.e. quasicrystalline silicon thin-film on glass substrate. The influence of photons emitted from the hot filament on fast nucleation of nanocrystal silicon on glass substrate has been discussed.
