Abstract

We have studied the influences of substrate orientation and growth direction on laterally seeded recrystallization of poly-crystalline silicon on a SiO2; film through strip electron beam irradiation. We found that growth in a [110] direction produced films with better crystal quality than growth in a [100] direction on a (001) substrate, and that growth in a [211] direction provides better crystal quality than growth in a [011] direction on a (111) substrate. A simple model of the growth interface composed of {111} planes is proposed
