Characterization of Silicon thin Film Deposited by E-Beam Evaporator for Flexible Display
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 February 2011
Abstract
The structure and crystal growth of the silicon thin film deposited by e-beam evaporator have been studied with use of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The silicon thin film is deposited at room temperature for flexible display. It is found that the silicon film deposited by e-beam evaporator has polysilicon structure by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). SEM image also shows that grain size of the silicon film is about 50nm. X-ray diffraction of the silicon thin film represents that the orientation of the silicon film is (201). We have also investigated the structure and the crystal growth of the silicon film after the silicon film is irradiated by XeCl excimer laser with various energy densities. Transmission electron microscopy shows that the irradiated silicon thin film has low intra-grain defects and sharp grain boundary.
