PREFACE
The symposium "Amorphous and Microcrystalline Silicon Technology—1998" was the sixteenth in the MRS Spring Meeting series. The focus of thissymposium is no longer limited to hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H),as researchers in the field are aware that the distinction between short- andmedium-range order, and between homogeneous and heterogeneoussemiconductor materials, is indeed difficult to maintain.
This symposium covered amorphous and microcrystalline silicon frommaterials physics to new applications. The application in thin-film transistorsfor large-area displays was the subject of a joint session with the symposium"Flat-Panel Display Materials and Large-Area Processes." Further, this symposiumfeatured special focused sessions on heterogeneous materials, color sensors andradiation imaging, and parameter extraction and device modelling.
S. Quha, of United Solar, illustrated the disappearing distinction betweenamorphous and nanocrystalline silicon by summarizing the present state inwhich growth experiments, structural analysis, and device fabrication aredirected to the understanding and utilization of heterogeneity in amorphous andmicrocrystalline films. P. Roca, of Ecole Polytechnique, Palaiseau (Paris),described the deposition of just such films with medium-range order fromclusters formed in the glow discharge. A. Howling, of EPF Lausanne, analyzedthese negatively charged silicon clusters, containing up to 60 Si atoms, by lightscattering, infrared absorption, and mass spectrometry. P.M. Voyles, of theUniversity of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, described the application of variable-coherence electron microscopy, a new technique, to the identification of fine-grained local order.
Y.F. Zhang, of the City University of Hong Kong, presented a new form ofsilicon—silicon nanowires—made by laser ablation of silicon, followed bycondensation in a steep temperature gradient. Q.L. Kong, of the ChineseAcademy of Science in Beijing, presented a photodilation effect in a-Si:H, whichstimulated a vigorous discussion of the experimental techniques employed andthe possible structural changes associated with the Staebler-Wronski (S-W) effect.H.M. Branz, of NREL, presented a new model for the S-W effect, in which therecombination of two photogenerated diffusing hydrogen atoms on one Si-Sibond leaves behind two spatially separated silicon dangling bonds. X. Liu, ofCornell University, applied the recent discovery of extremely low internal frictionin a-Si:H at cryogenic temperatures to the observation of the triple point and theortho-para conversion of molecular hydrogen occluded in films grownby the hot wire technique. These observations nicely complement earlier onesmade by Raman spectroscopy at Bell Labs and by MMR at Xerox PARC.
The selective crystallization of a-Si:H allows one to combine the advantages ofthe low leakage current of a-Si:H thin-film transistors (TFTs) with the highcurrents and CMOS capability provided by polysilicon. P. Mei, of Xerox PARC,described selective laser crystallization and a complete top-gate process formaking a-Si:H and poly-Si TFTs. K. Pangal, of Princeton University, showed a

relatively fast and selective crystallization by furnace anneal following exposureto a hydrogen discharge.
United Solar, ECD, NREL and Kaneka described recent progress in solar cellefficiencies. Amorphous silicon is also applied in X-ray detector arrays, whichprovide high-resolution real-time electronic observation and are on the verge ofmarket introduction. M. Boehm, of the University of Siegen, Germany, showedthe variety of applications that can be satisfied with imagers based on a-Si:Hphotodetectors integrated with application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs).This is a field of considerable activity at present. Finally, M. Boucinha, of INESCat Lisbon, made a first step to micromachined silicon-on-glass by demonstratingan a-Si.Ii TFT using an air gap as the gate dielectric.
On behalf of all of the participants of the 1998 symposium, we thankAkzo Mobel, dpiX-A Xerox Company, Fuji Electric Corporate Research andDevelopment, Ltd., Kaneka Corp., Mitsui Chemical Co., Ltd., MAPS France,national Renewable Energy Laboratory, Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd., Tokuyama Corp.,and Voltaix, Inc. for their financial support.
