Abstract
In this research, hydrogenated nanocrystalline silicon (nc-Si:H) thin films were fabricated by using plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition system. The finite element model of nanoindentation was established to simulate the mechanical properties of a nc-Si:H thin film. By comparing numerical simulation data with experimental data, the correctness of the model was validated. The mechanical properties of nc-Si:H thin films obtained were: Young's modulus of 45 GPa, yield stress of 4·5 MPa, Poisson's ratio of 0·3 and the hardness was calculated to be 2·5 GPa.
