Abstract

A new excimer laser annealing method is proposed in order to produce the poly-Si film with low defect density and large grain, by combining the selective Si ionimplantation and excimer laser annealing. Selective Si ion-implantation is employed to form artificial nucleation seeds in a-Si film prior to excimer laser annealing in order to increase the nucleation probability. The grain boundary location in poly-Si film has been controlled through implantation mask, and the grain size around micrometer order is obtained without any other process. TEM result shows that grain boundary is controlled according to mask pattern and the crystallinity of the poly-Si film is improved.
