Abstract

It has been found that careful control of the laser power and scan speed will convert deposited a­Si into continuous lines of uniformly crystallized silicon. Two solid phase “explosive” crystallization front velocities of 1000 cm/sec and 1400 cm/sec have been experimentally determined by matching the laser scan velocity with the runaway a–c phase boundary. If solid phase explosive crystallization is suppressed by pre-annealing, then a liquid assisted runaway crystallization velocity of 220 cm/sec is observed, as well as a continuous furnace-like crystallization process at 250 cm/sec.
