AbstractWith a selective nucleation and solid phase epitaxy (SNSPE) process, grain sizes of 10 μm have been achieved to date at 620°C in 100 nrm thick silicon films on amorphous SiO2, with potential for greater grain sizes. Selective nucleation occurs via a thin film reaction between a patterned array of 20 rnm thick indium islands which act as heterogeneous nucleation sites on the amorphous silicon starting material. Crystal growth proceeds by lateral solid phase epitaxy from the nucleation sites, during the incubation time for random nucleation. The largest achievable grain size by SNSPE is thus approximately the product of the incubation time and the solid phase epitaxy rate. Electronic dopants, such as B, P, and Al, are found to enhance the solid phase epitaxy rate and affect the nucleation rate.

AbstractCombinatorial approaches are successfully applied for the optimization of electric write-once, thin-film Si antifuse memory devices, as well as for studying the solid-phase epitaxy kinetics of amorphous silicon on c-Si. High forward, low reverse current thin film Si diode deposition recipes are selected using cross-strips of different combinations of amorphous and microcrystalline doped layers, as well as a thickness-wedged intrinsic a-Si:H buffer layer. By studying switching in thickness-wedged a-Si:H layers, it is found that switching requires both a critical field and a critical bias voltage across the metallic contacts. Solid-phase epitaxy speed has a non-linear dependence on the film thickness, which is easily observed by optical image monitoring and analysis in wedged a-Si:H films on c-Si wafers.

ABSTRACTWe study the crystallization of a thin film of amorphous Ge deposited at room temperature on Si (111). Features of the silicon surface buried beneath the Ge film are shown to affect the rate of crystallization. In particular, solid phase epitaxy is observed to be enhanced at surface steps and defects in the surface reconstruction. It is further shown that one-dimensional crystallization patterns can be caused by impurity-Mediated crystallization. Precipitates of an impurity rich phase migrate in the plane of the film, leaving behind a crystalline trail. The Migration path of these precipitates is also dependent on the buried surface structure.
