Polysilicon

Term · Semiconductors · MLC-T-SEM-000256

A form of silicon composed of multiple small crystalline grains, in contrast to single-crystal silicon. It serves as a gate electrode material in MOSFETs, a resistive element, and an interconnect in integrated circuits. Polysilicon films are deposited using chemical vapor deposition methods at temperatures above 600 degrees Celsius.
