A method has been provided for forming a polycrystalline silicon (p-Si) film with a small amount of hydrogen. Such a film has been found to have excellent sheet resistance, and it is useful in the fabrication of liquid crystal display (LCD) panels made from thin film transistors (TFTs). The low hydrogen content polycrystalline silicon films are made from introducing a small amount of hydrogen gas, with Ar, during the sputter deposition of an amorphous silicon film. The hydrogen content in the film is regulated by controlling the deposition temperatures and the volume of hydrogen in the gas feed during the sputter deposition. The polycrystalline silicon film results from annealing the low hydrogen content amorphous silicon film thus formed. |
