Modified Enthalpy Method Applied to Laser Annealing of Semi Conductor Films
The rapid melting of silicon film due to the absorption of a CW laser beam radiation is studied. The silicon film melting and recrystallization is mainly controlled by the temperature distribution in the semiconductor. The enthalpy technique for the solution of phase change problems is used in an explicit finite difference form to calculate the transient temperature distribution in the silicon ...
متن کاملOptical and structural properties of Si nanocrystals in SiO2 film
Silicon nanocrystals (Si-nc) embedded in a SiO2 matrix is a promising system for siliconbased photonics. We studied optical and structural properties of Si-rich silicon oxide SiOx (x < 2) films annealed in a furnace at temperatures up to 1200 °C and containing Si-nc. The measured optical properties of SiOx films are compared with the values estimated by using the effective medium approximation ...
متن کاملEffective Annealing and Crystallization of Si Film for Advanced TFT System
The effect of the crystallization and activated annealing of Si films using an excimer laser and the new CW blue laser are described and compared with furnace annealing for application in advanced TFTs and for future applications. Pulsed excimer laser annealing (ELA) is currently being used extensively as a low-temperature poly-silicon (LTPS) process on glass substrates as its efficiency is hig...
متن کاملOptical and Structural Properties of Si Nanocrystals in SiO2 Films
Optical and structural properties of Si nanocrystals (Si-nc) in silica films are described. For the SiOx (x < 2) films annealed above 1000 °C, the Raman signal of Si-nc and the absorption coefficient are proportional to the amount of elemental Si detected by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. A good agreement is found between the measured refractive index and the value estimated by using the eff...
متن کاملCharge storage characteristics of metal-induced nanocrystalline in erbium-doped amorphous silicon films
Amorphous silicon film (α-Si) doped with uniform erbium (Er) impurities is deposited by laser ablation technology. High density silicon nanocrystals (nc-Si) can be formed after the rapid thermal annealing (RTA) process. The crystalline process can be explained as the “metal-induced nanocrystalline mechanism”, i.e., doped erbium atoms introduce additional strain in the amorphous silicon matrix a...
