B20-type MnSi is one of the noncentrosymmetric materials hosting magnetic skyrmions, which are promising information carriers in spintronic devices. In this work, we report the preparation of (111)-textured MnSi films on Si substrates. The preparation method only includes the deposition of Mn layers at room temperature and a following process by flash lamp at milli-second. By controlling the thickness of Mn layers and flash energy, we can obtain pure MnSi or mixtures of MnSi and MnSi1.7. Surprisingly, all prepared films show Curie temperatures around 41 K, which is much higher than for bulk MnSi or films reported previously. Magnetic skyrmions are stabilized at the whole temperature range below 41 K and under a much wider magnetic-field range. We speculate that the increased Curie temperature is due to the strain in the MnSi films arising from the MnSi1.7 phase or from the substrate. Our work calls a re-examination of the structural and magnetic properties of B20 MnSi films.
