Abstract

The lateral solid phase epitaxial growth of amorphous Si on SiO2 patterns with 31P implantation is studied. By implanting 31P into only the surface region of the sample to form a doped channel, the Si growth rate is enhanced and the random crystallization of Si is suppressed. The maximum length of lateral solid phase epitaxial Si obtained from samples with the doped channel (∼9μπι) is a factor of 3 more than that of the undoped sample. This Si on SiO2 film has a low dopant concentration after the highly doped channel is removed and should be useful for device application.
