Hi I like to know, is it possible to deposit silicon on cotton fabrics using vapor deposition method? I shall be glad, if you kindly share any related paper.
RF Sputtering apparatus can do the task of depositing amorphous silicon. In very slow, inefficient way. CVD can do the same trick with extremely toxic silane precursors, slightly faster and with less loss of materials. Anyway, cotton low decomposition temperature makes deposition of crystalline silicon nearly impossible.
Thanks for your suggestion, I'm interested for the amorphous silicon deposition. Is it possible to transform amorphous deposites to crystaline for other types of fabric(say polyester)?
