The phosphorus doped polycrystalline silicon thin films were grown by Electron cyclotron Resonance Chemical Vapor Deposition (ECR-CVD) at 250 C. The doping gas PH{sub 3} was in-situ added with SiH{sub 4} gas during the films deposition. All films were deposited with 90% hydrogen dilution ratio. The resistivity of the films is varied from 0.2 to 7 {Omega}-cm and decrease as the PH{sub 3}/SiH{sub 4} gas ratio increase from (3/100 to 7/100). From the SIMS data, the doping concentration is all about 10{sup 20} cm{sup {minus}3}. The activation energy is decreased from 0.35 eV to 0.12 eV as the dopant concentration increased from 0.8 x 10{sup 20} cm{sup {minus}3} to 4.7 x 10{sup 20} cm{sup {minus}3}. From the Hall measurements, the carrier mobility is about 2{approximately}4 cm{sup 2}/V.sec, and the carrier concentration is the 0.5{approximately}1{degree} of the dopant concentration. The gain boundary trap density predicted by the trapping model is about 4 x 10{sup 13} cm{sup {minus}2}.
