Abstract

Described is a method for improving the flatness of a layer deposited on a doped polycrystalline layer, which includes reducing the grain size of the polycrystalline layer to decrease the out-diffusion amount of the dopant from the polycrystalline layer, and/or reducing the amount of the out-diffusing dopant on the surface of the polycrystalline layer.
