Processing of amorphous Si by pulsed laser irradiation at different wavelengths
2012
Amorphous Si thin films deposited on thermally oxidized Si wafers have been processed by the 2 nd and 3 rd harmonics of Nd:YAG laser. Surface modification of amorphous silicon layers have been investigated by scanning electron microscopy before and after chemical etching of processed silicon films. The super-lateral crystal growth regime was achieved with laser fluence of 280 mJ/cm 2 for the 2 nd harmonics and 155 mJ/cm 2 for the 3 rd harmonics. The grain size in polycrystalline Si samples prepared by successive crystallization in the lateral growth regime is about 0.5 - 1 μm.
Structure and characteristics of laser crystallized thin amorphous Si films
2011
Abstract Pure amorphous Si thin films deposited on oxidized crystalline Si surface (111) were crystallized by picosecond UV laser pulses. The Raman scattering spectra show that pulse energy of 330 mJ/cm2 is enough to fully crystallize Si film and further increase of the energy does not improve crystallinity. A large grained polycrystalline Si was obtained as revealed by surface analysis. A significant increase in carrier mobility was observed after laser crystallization.
<title>Formation of deep acceptor centers in AlGaN alloys</title>
2008
AlGaN alloy thin film materials are of high interest for light emitting diodes (LED of the ultraviolet (UV) spectral region. Origin of the deep intrinsic and impurity Si states in the AlxGa1-xN (0 < x < 0.35) epilayer structures grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) technique have been considered. Effects of the lattice mismatch and Si-doping in the heterostructures of epilayers with different alloy composition are investigated using time resolved photoluminescence (PL) of donor – deep acceptor (DA) pairs. It is shown that the undoped AlGaN alloys, grown on a GaN buffer layer, due to the lattice mismatch contain the increased concentration of cation vacancy (Vcation) defec…
PATTERNED LASER CRYSTALLIZATION OF a-Si
2009
PATTERNED LASER CRYSTALLIZATION OF a-SiThin films of amorphous Si on glass were crystallized by pulsed nano- and picosecond lasers. Two methods for creating the desired patterns of crystallized regions were used. In the former, the pattern is produced by a focused laser beam, and in the latter it is made using a prefabricated mask. The electric conductivity of crystallized films increases by more than 4 orders of magnitude in comparison with untreated amorphous films.
