Studying temperature and frequency dependences of electric conductivity in low-doped polycrystalline silicon films of different structure, it has been found that jump-like charge transfer along localized states of grain interlayers takes place in a wide temperature range along with barrier conductance across grain boundaries. The jump-like conductivity has been shown to occur up to room temperatures at the grain size of 0.5 mum and the volume concentration of free carriers about 1014 cm-3.
