Abstract

Energy sources used to convert polycrystalline silicon-on-insulator films to single crystal through melting and recrystallization have included electron beams, lasers, graphite strip heaters, and incoherent light from tungsten halogen and vapor arc lamps. This review focuses on incoherent light recrystallization of polycrystalline silicon; comparing tungsten filament and vapor arc lamp sources, and linear zone melting vs. uniform illumination. The discussion includes material redistribution, defect formation, and the dynamics of melting.
