Nanocrystalline silicon films have been deposited at very high deposition rates using the expanding thermal plasma technique and their structural properties have been analyzed. The crystallinity and crystallite size and orientation have been determined for various hydrogen-to-silane dilution ratios and it is shown that films with a crystalline fraction of 60–80% can be deposited at deposition rates...
