  • Experiments related to nitriding silicon with addition of $Si_3N_4$ have provided information on the effects of such inclusion on the phase relationships of Reaction Bonded Silicon Nitride. In the current work specimens containing 0-25wt% Si3N4 which have 55.5wt% $\alpha$ 4.5wt% $eta$, 40wt% amorphous phase were nitrided for 7-20 hours at 1300-135$0^{\circ}C$ The evaluation of nitridation was per-formed by means of $\alpha$-and $\beta$-phase contents determination in nitrided specimens, In order to observe nitrided region between silicon and silicon nitride scanning electron microscopy was used to study reacted region between silicon and silicon nitride particle. For this purpose semiconductor-grade silicon wafer single crystal was used as a silicon source. The incorporation of small amount of $Si_3N_4$ powder is contributed to enhancing the rate of formation of $\alpha$-phase.

  • The large-area crystallization of amorphous silicon thin films on glass backplanes is one of the key technologies in the manufacture of flat-panel displays. Joule-heating induced crystallization (JIC) is a recently introduced crystallization technology. It is considered a highly promising technique for fabricating OLEDs, because the film of amorphous silicon on glass can be crystallized in tens of microseconds, minimizing thermal and structural damage to the glass. In this study, we theoretically and experimentally investigated the temperature variation during the phase transformation. The critical temperatures for crystallization were determined for both solid-solid and solid-liquidsolid transitions, by carrying out in-situ temperature measurements and numerical analysis of the JIC.
