Hs. Choi et al., PULSED-LASER-INDUCED CRYSTALLIZATION OF FLUORINATED AMORPHOUS AND MICROCRYSTALLINE SILICON FILMS, Journal of non-crystalline solids, 200, 1996, pp. 945-948
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.
