Microcrystalline silicon (μc-Si:H) thin films with and without boron doping are deposited using the radio-frequency plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition method.The surface roughness evolutions of the silicon thin films are investigated using ex situ spectroscopic ellipsometry and an atomic force microscope.It is shown that the growth exponent β and the roughness exponent α are about 0.369 and 0.95 for the undoped thin film,respectively.Whereas,for the boron-doped μc-Si:H thin film,β increases to 0.534 and α decreases to 0.46 due to the shadowing effect.
