Abstract

A novel process for the formation of nanocrystalline silicon film using an organosilicon nanocluster as a precursor was developed. A thin-film coating of the organosilicon nanocluster, soluble in common organic solvents, is preheated and then annealed by an excimer laser to yield a film of nanocrystalline silicon with approximately 10nm in size. The structural changes of the precursor film caused by preheating and excimer laser annealing were investigated by Raman spectroscopy.
