Abstract

A method for forming a silicon layer using a liquid silane compound is described. The method includes the steps of: forming a first layer on a substrate, preferably a flexible substrate, the first layer having a (poly)silane; and, irradiating with light having one or more wavelength within the range between 200 and 400 nm for transforming the polysilane in silicon, preferably amorphous silicon or polysilicon.
