  • For excimer laser annealing (ELA), energy density, number of pulses, beam uniformity, and condition of initial amorphous Si (a-Si) films are significant factors contributing to the final microstructure and the performance of low-temperature polycrystalline Si (LTPS) TFTs. Although the process and equipment have been significantly improved, the environmental factors associated with initial amorphous Si (a-Si) films and process conditions are yet to be optimized.

  • We propose a new in-situ fluorine passivation of poly-Si TFTs by excimer laser annealing to reduce the trap density and improve the reliability significantly. This improvement is due to the formation of stronger Si-F bonds than Si-H bonds which passivate the trap states.

  • The recrystallization of polysilicon layer deposited on Si was attemped by means of C02 laser annealing. The polysilicon layer was defined in small island patterns ($50{\mu}m{\times}200{\mu}m$) by means of photolithography prior to the annealings. After the annealing an increase of grain size up to about 50um was obtained.

  • Because the Pb-based piezoelectric materials showed problems such as an environmental pollution. lead-free $O_3$ materials were studied in the present study. The $O_3$ thin films were deposited at $640^{\circ}C$ on $Pt/Ti/SiO_2$ substrate by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) and were annealed for 5 min at $750^{\circ}C$ using rapid thermal annealing (RTA) in nitrogen atmosphere. Samples annealed at $750^{\circ}C$ showed a smooth morphology and an improvement of the dielectric and leakage properties, as compared with as-grown samples. However, electrical properties of the $O_3$ thin films obtained in the present study should be improved for piezoelectric applications.

  • 최근 FPD (Flat Pannel Display) 시장이 커짐에 따라 고효율, 저비용 제작 공정이 화두로 떠오르고 있다. ELA (Excimer Laser Annenling)을 이용한 LTPS (Low Temperature Poly Silicon) 공정은 mobility와 전류 점멸비 등에서 장점을 가지지만, 고비용, 대면적과 short-range에서 uniformity가 어렵다는 단점이 있다. 이를 극복하기 위한 방법으로 dLTA (diode Laser Thermal Annealing) 공정에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Flexible Display을 만들기 위한 방법으로 dLTA 공정을 진행하였다. 이 방법은 PI (Poly imide) 기판 위에 a-Si을 ICP CVD로 증착시킨 후, Diode Laser (980 nm)를 이용한 annealing을 통하여 a-Si이 poly-Si으로 결정화가 되는 것을 확인하였고, 에너지 조사량에 따른 grain boundary와 grain size을 통하여 비교 분석하였다. 실험 결과 ELA 공정을 이용한 것과 버금가는 실험 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

  • Thin films of phase-pure perovskite (P $b_{0.72}$L $a_{0.28}$) $Ti_{0.93}$ $O_3$(PLT) were deposited in-situ onto Pt/Ti/ $SiO_2$/Si substrates by pulsed laser deposition. We have systematically investigated the variation of grain sizes depending on the process condition. Both in-situ annealing and ex-situ annealing treatments have been compared depending on the annealing time. Two-step process to grow (P $b_{0.72}$L $a_{0.28}$) $Ti_{0.93}$ $O_3$(PLT) films was adopted and verified to be useful to enlarge the grain size of the film and to enhance the leakage current characteristics. The grain sizes of PLT thin films were successfully controlled 260 to 350 nm by changing process parameters. Electrical properties including dielectric constant, ferroelectric characteristics, crystallization and leakage current of PLT thin films were shown to be strongly inf1uenced by grain size. Also PLT thin films on p-type(100) Si substrate will be fabricated by pulsed laser deposition technique using a Nd:YAG laser with different wavelengths of 355, 532 and 1064 nm. Effect of the variation of laser wavelength on dielectric properties will be discussed. Microstructural and electrical properties of the film were investigated by C-V measurement leakage current measurement and SEM.ent and SEM.

  • Perovskite materials are promising candidates for next-generation optoelectronic devices owing to their outstanding external quantum efficiency, high color purity, and ability to tune the light emission wavelength. However, conventional thermal annealing processes caused the degradation of perovskite, resulting in poor optoelectronic properties and a short lifetime. Herein, we propose a laser-induced recrystallization of perovskite thin film to enhance its light-emitting properties. Laser-induced recrystallization process was performed using rapid and instantaneous laser heating, which successfully induced grain growth of the perovskite material. The laser processing conditions were thoroughly optimized based on theoretical calculations and various material analyses such as x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, and photoluminescence spectroscopy.

  • We developed the laser annealing system using green laser of 261W(5kHz) and 75.5mJ/pulse(2kHz). We confirmed that this system makes it possible to form two kinds(large or uniformed grain) of poly-Si by changing its polarized directions. By using ${\mu}-crystal-Si$ as irradiated films, grain size uniformity is better than that using a-Si.

  • The recrystallization of polysilicon layer deposited on SiO2 was attempted by means of CO2 laser annealing in this paper. SiO2 layer of 13000\ulcornerthick and polysilicon layer of 6000\ulcornerthick were successively deposited on (100) Si wafer by thermal oxidation and LPCVD, respectively. Prior to the annealings the polysilicon layer was defined in small island patterns by means of photolithography. After the annealing an increase in grain size from 1000\ulcornerto 2-10 =\ulcorner was observed by SEM.
