Abstract

YAG laser crystallization of Si-based thin film deposited on plastic substrate has been studied. The Si-based thin films as crystallization precursor are with varied hydrogen (H) content. The effect of the H content on the crystallinity of the resulted poly-Si film has been investigated. The experimental results of the poly-Si crystallized by doublefrequency YAG laser shows that the initial dehydrogenation process could be left out if ${\mu}c$-Si was adopted as the crystallization precursor. The YAG laser annealing condition on plastic substrate and the crystallization results have been discussed in the paper.
