Ryu, In the past I've had significant problems with amorphous silicon adhesion to glass. the problem is associated with stress (the a-Si is under significant compressive stress). You may try to find a way to reduce the stress. I found that if the material was annealed, forming poly Silicon, then the stress was relieved (a well documented affect). Rob Shearwater Scientific --- original message --- Dear all, I want to improve adhesion amorphous Si film deposited by PECVD on the soda lime glass substrate. Now I wash the substrate by fuming HNO3 before CVD, but some of a-Si film is peeled off. So I'm going to try following approaches to improve adhesion, (1)Washing substrate by H2SO4-H2O2 (2)Depositing Cr or Ti layer before a-Si CVD (3)Anodically bonding interface of a-Si film and substrate after CVD (not wafer to wafer bonding) In case of (2), I'm afraid of oxidation of Cr or Ti when carrying substrate from sputtering facility to CVD. In (3), there is no paper or report to improve adhesion with this approach. If some of you have tried above approaches, will you tell me if it can go well or not? And does anybody know other approaches? thanks, Ryu
