The effects of hydrogen on aluminum-induced crystallization of sputtered hydrogenated amorphous silicon

The effects of hydrogen on aluminum-induced crystallization (AIC) of sputtered hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) were investigated by controlling the hydrogen content of a-SiH films. Nonhydrogenated (a-Si) and hydrogenated (a-Si:H) samples were deposited by sputtering and plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). All aluminum films were deposited by sputtering. Hydrogen was introduced into the sputter-deposited a-Si films during the deposition. After deposition, the samples were annealed at temperatures from 200°C to 400°C for different periods of time. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns were used to confirm the presence and degree of crystallization in the a-Si:H films. For nonhydrogenated films, crystallization initiates at a temperature of 350°C. The crystallization of sputter-deposited a-Si:H initiates at 225°C when 14% hydrogen is present in the film. As the hydrogen content is decreased, the crystallization temperature increases. On the other hand, the crystallization initiation temperature for PECVD a-Si:H containing 11at.%H is 200°C. Further study revealed that the crystallization initiation temperature is a function, not only of the total atomic percent hydrogen in the film, but also a function of the way in which the hydrogen is bonded in the film. Models are developed for crystallization initiation temperature dependence on hydrogen concentration in a-Si:H thin films.

Thin-film transistors fabricated with poly-Si films crystallized atlow temperature by microwave annealing

Solid phase crystallization of amorphous silicon films for poly-Si thin film transistors (TFTs) has advantages of low cost and excellent uniformity, but the crystallization temperature is too high. Using a microwave annealing method, we lowered the crystallization temperature and shortened the crystallization time. The complete crystallization time at 550°C was within 2 h. The device parameters of TFTs with the poly-Si films crystallized by microwave annealing were similar to those of TFTs with the poly-Si films crystallized by conventional furnace annealing. The new crystallization method seems attractive because of low crystallization temperature, short crystallization time, and comparable film properties     

The Substrate Effects on Kinetics and Mechanism of Solid-Phase Crystallization of Amorphous Silicon Thin Films

The substrate effects on solid-phase crystallization of amorphous silicon (a-Si) films deposited by low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) using Si₂H₆ gas have been extensively investigated. The a-Si films were prepared on various substrates, such as thermally oxidized Si wafer (SiO₂/Si), quartz and LPCVD-oxide, and annealed at 600 °C in an N₂ ambient for crystallization. The crystallization behavior was found to be strongly dependent on the substrate even though all the silicon films were deposited in amorphous phase. It was first observed that crystallization in a-Si films deposited on the SiO₂/Si starts from the interface between the a-Si and the substrate, so called interface-induced crystallization, while random nucleation process dominates on the other substrates. The different kinetics and mechanism of solid-phase crystallization is attributed to the structural disorderness of a-Si films, which is strongly affected by the surface roughness of the substrates.     

Cw laser crystallization of glow discharge a-Si:H on glass substrates

Glow discharge hydrogenated amorphous Si films were crystallized using a cw Ar laser. The properties of the crystallized films were studied by optical and electron microscopy, electrical measurements and elastic recoil detection (ERD) analysis. In addition, a preferential plasma etching technique was used to determine the degree of crystallization. Large (>3 μm) high quality crystallites were induced above a threshold laser power of 100 W/cm by an explosive crystallization process. This was accompanied by the formation of bubbles and ejection of material from the crystallization centers. The sheet resistivity decreased by five to six orders of magnitude. Some 50–90% of the hydrogen remained in the films after laser annealing. A simple model shows that solid state diffusion accounts for the final hydrogen distribution in the laser annealed films. The use of this material for the fabrication of devices on glass substrates is discussed.

TiO2薄膜的热处理晶化及形貌研究

对Si(111)和Si(100)衬底上用化学气相沉积法制成的TiO2薄膜进行了不同温度的热处理，并用原子力显微镜对处理后薄膜的形貌变化进行了观察。X－射线衍射分析表明形貌变化过程即晶化过程。晶化物相为金红石。晶化程度（或形貌变化程度）与热处理的温度有次数（或热处理时间）有关。Si(111)衬底上TiO2晶化形貌为杂乱分布的柱状、板状，定向不好；而Si(100）衬底上TiO2晶化形貌为定向较好的四方柱状或板状，这是因为Si(100)与金红石（001）都属四方对称结构，两相结构在此方向上容易匹配的结果。在相同热处理条件下，Si(111)衬底比Si(100)衬底上TiO2晶化程度高，说明非定向附生的晶化作用比定向附生的晶化作用容易实现。
