摘要： This paper found that the crystalline volume ratio ($X_{\rm c}$) of $\mu$c-Si deposited on SiN$_x$ substrate is higher than that on 7059 glass. At the same silane concentration (SC) (for example, at SC=2{\%}), the $X_{\rm c}$ of $\mu$c-Si deposited on SiN$_x$ is more than 64{\%}, but just 44{\%} if deposited on Conning 7059. It considered that the `hills' on SiN$_x$ substrate would promote the crystalline growth of $\mu$c-Si thin film, which has been confirmed by atomic force microscope (AFM) observation. Comparing several thin film transistor (TFT) samples whose active-layer were deposited under various SC, this paper found that the appropriate SC for the $\mu$c-Si thin film used in TFT as active layer should be more than 2{\%}, and $X_{\rm c}$ should be around 50\%. Additionally, the stability comparison of $\mu$c-Si TFT and a-Si TFT is shown in this paper.
