Abstract

Significant improvement in properties of polysilicon thin films for VLSI applications was achieved using nanosecond thermal processing causing laser-induced melting followed byrecrystallization. Sheet resistance was reduced by as much as a factor of five on polysilicon thin films and underlying oxide integrity was not detectably disturbed.
