AbstractXeCl excimer laser was irradiated on metal induced laterally crystallized (MILC) polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) film in order to eliminate the intra-grain defects of MILC poly-Si film which incorporated 2 μm wide metal induced crystallized (MIC) poly-Si line pattern. On the irradiation of the laser beams, different melt and recrystallization phenomena were observed in the MILC and the MIC poly-Si region due to the Ni content difference in each film. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) measurements indicated that the melting temperature of the poly-Si film decreased as the Ni content increased. With the laser irradiation energy density of 370 mJ/cm2, 2 μm long defect-free poly-Si grain was successfully grown in the MILC poly-Si due to the melting temperature variation at the MILC-MIC poly-Si boundary.

AbstractA novel method to control the recrystallization depth of amorphous silicon (a-Si) film during the excimer laser annealing (ELA) is proposed in order to preserve a-Si that is useful for fabrication of poly-Si TFT with a-Si offset in the channel. A XeCl excimer laser beam is irradiated on a triple film structure of a-Si thin native silicon oxide (~20Å)/thick a-Si layer. Only the upper a-Si film is recrystallized by the laser beam irradiation, whereas the lower thick a-Si film remains amorphous because the thin native silicon oxide layer stops the grain growth of the poly-crystalline silicon (poly-Si). So that the thin oxide film sharply divides the upper poly-Si from the lower a-Si.

AbstractAn ultra-low temperature (< 200°C) polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) film is fabricated for the plastic substrate application using inductively coupled plasma chemical vapor deposition (ICP-CVD) and excimer laser annealing. The precursor active layer is deposited using the SiH4/He mixture at 150°C (substrate). The deposited silicon film consists of crystalline component as well as hydrogenated amorphous component. The hydrogen content in the precursor layer is less than 5 at%. The grain size of the precursor active silicon film is about 200nm and it is increased up to 500nm after excimer laser irradiation.
