Abstract

We report on a surface planarization process that produces more planar surface than previous sequential lateral solidification crystallized poly silicon films. By applying the single shot laser irradiation with optimum energy density ($(817mJ/cm^{2})$ on the ridge area after SLS crystallization, the ridge height can be decreased.
