Abstract: To measure the area specific resistance of a metallic surface, silver paste is applied on a first surface of a metal plate. The silver paste is dried and molded into a desired shape; then it is sintered at a temperature close to the melting point of silver and turned into a silver foil, forming non-porous contact with the first surface. The second surface (reverse surface) is polished. First and second wires are connected to the silver foil by a silver drop. Third and fourth wires are spot welded to the second surface of the metal plate within the covered area right under the silver foil. The first and third wires are connected to the positive and negative electrodes of a power supply, and the second and fourth wires to the positive and negative electrodes of a voltmeter. A current I is provided. The temperature of the metal plate is first raised to a suitable point not close to the melting point of silver for sintering the silver drop attaching the first and second wires.

Abstract: An amorphous silicon (Si) film is taken to form a metal silicide of Si—Al(aluminum) under a high temperature. Al atoms is diffused into the amorphous Si film for forming the metal silicide of Si—Al as nucleus site. Then through heating and annealing, a microcrystalline or nano-crystalline silicon thin film is obtained. The whole process is only one process and is done in only one reacting chamber.
