Abstract
Laser annealing effects in fluorinated amorphous and microcrystalline silicon, in which the crystalline fraction is varied, have been invest igated. The initial film structure, as characterized by the crystallin e fraction, is found to influence the laser-induced grain growth behav ior. The surface melting time and solidification time, which are relat ed to the grain growth, are increased in the film with a critical init ial crystalline fraction, promoting grain growth and grain quality.
