The annealing effect on the sheet resistance of ion-doped laser crysta
llized poly-Si films has been studied. The role of hydrogen in the n-t
ype poly-Si is related to defect passivation dominantly rather than do
pant passivation. But the dopant neutralization by hydrogen is predomi
nant in p-type poly-Si. On the other hand, the sheet resistance of the
poly-Si decreases with increasing doping temperature due to less dama
ge on the crystalline structure.
