ABSTRACTThe advantages of pulsed excimer lasers for semiconductor processing are reviewed. Studies of XeCl excimer laser annealing with pulses of 25 and 70 nsec duration and energy densities in the range from 0.5–3.0 J/cm2 are discussed. The annealing characteristics are described in terms of the results of melt depth, dopant profile spreading, and electrical properties (sheet resistivity, diode characteristics) measurements. Solar cells with efficiencies as high as 16.7% AMI have been fabricated using glow discharge implantation and XeCl laser annealing.

AbstractMo-gate n-channel poly-Si TFTs have been fabricated for the first time at a low processing temperature of 26°C. 500 to 1000A thick a-Si:H was successfully crystallized by pulsed XeCl excimer laser (308nm) annealing without heating the glass substrate. The channel mobility of the TFT was 180 cm2/V.sec when the a-Si:H was annealed at energy density of 200 mJ/cm2.
