Abstract

We present a numerical model for the calculation of the temperature rise caused by pulsed laser irradiation of a thin film/substrate structure. This model includes phase changes in both the thin film and the substrate. The inclusion of phase changes results in more complex thermal behavior and significantly affects melt durations. This model was applied to the AuGe/GaAs system. Morphological observation using the scanning electron microscope and SIMS profiles provides experimental verification for the numerical calculations.
