P-10 Post-Crystallization of Metal-Induced Laterally Crystallized Poly-Si with YAG Laser
نویسندگان
چکیده
Post-crystallization heat-treatment of metal-induced laterally crystallized polycrystalline silicon thin film using YAG solid-state laser is characterized. It is found that both the material quality and the TFT performance are related to the laser-treatment condition. The amorphous silicon fraction remaining in the polycrystalline thin film can be reduced and the performance of the thin-film transistors fabricated on the laser-treated thin film under an optimized condition can be greatly improved.

We known that the three major methods to recrystallize amorphous silicon are: Rapid Thermal Annealing(RTA), Excimer Laser Crystallization (ELC) and Solid Phase Crystallization(SPC)[3.1][3.2].Solid phase crystallization and RTA has several advantages over laser crystallization which include smoother surfaces, better uniformity, and batch process in furnace annealing. But in order to achieve the ...

A novel pulsed rapid thermal processing (PRTP) method has been used for realizing the solid-phase crystallization of amorphous silicon films prepared by PECVD. The microstructure and surface morphology of the crystallized films are investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The results indicate that this PRTP is a suitable postcrystallization technique for fabric...

New Laser Crystallization using Blue Laser-Diodes is reported and discussed. As a result of the blue laser diode annealing (BLDA) scanning at 500 mm/s for 50 nm-thick Si films, remarkable crystallization occurred while maintaining the surface’s smoothness not only for CVD film but also for sputtered film. By changing the laser power, the grain size can be controlled from micro-grains to large g...
متن کاملPolycrystalline silicon films with nanometer-sized dense fine grains formed by flash-lamp-induced crystallization.
Flash lamp annealing (FLA) with millisecond-order pulse duration can crystallize microm-order-thick a-Si films on glass substrates through explosive crystallization (EC), and flash-lamp-crystallized (FLC) poly-Si films consist of densely-packed nanometer-sized fine grains. We investigate the impact of the hydrogen concentration and the defect density of precursor a-Si films on crystallization m...
