  • A new method for the fabrication of poly-Si films is reported using by alternating magnetic flux crystallization (AMFC) of LPCVD a-Si films. In this work we have studied the crystallization of LPCVD a-Si films by alternating magnetic flux. A-Si films were 1200$\AA$-thick deposited at 48$0^{\circ}C$ at a total pressure of 0.25Torr using Si$_2$H$_{6}$/H$_2$. After this step, these a-Si films were thermally annealed by Alternating Magnetic Flux at 43$0^{\circ}C$ for 1hours. The annealed films were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman Spectra, Atomic Force Microscopy(AFM). Both alternating magnetic flux crystallization and solid phase crystallization were investigated to compare enhanced crystallization a-Si. We have found that the low temperature crystallization method at 43$0^{\circ}C$ by alternating magnetic flux.x.

  • 적층 박막 내에서의 상변화는 주변 층에 영향을 준다. 결정화가 게이트 절연층에 주는 영향이 제거된 선결정화법(precrystallization)이 금속 유도 일측면 결정화(metal-induced unilateral crystallization)에 의해 제작된 다결정 실리콘 박막 트랜지스터 소자 및 회로의 전기적 특성에 미치는 영향에 대하여 연구하였다. 이 방법으로 만들어진 소자는 일반적인 후 결정화(postcrystallization) 소자에 비하여 높은 전류 구동력을 보였다. 여기에 본 연구는 DC bias에 의한 ring oscillator의 특성 변화를 연구하였다. 선결정화된 실리콘 박막을 이용하여 제작한 PMOS inverter는 후결정화된 실리콘 박막을 이용하여 제작한 inverter에 비하여 매우 동적(dynamic)이고도 안정적인 특성을 보였다.

  • Effects of hydrogenation in amorphous silicon rile growths on Solid Phase Crystallization (SPC) was investigated using x-ray diffractometry, energy dispersive Spectroscopy, and Raman spectrum. Interdiffusion of barium(Ba) and aluminum(Al) compounds of corning substrate was observed in both of rf sputtering and LFCVD films under the low temperature(580$^{\circ}C$) annealing. Low degree of crystallinity resulted from the interdiffusion was obtained. Highly applicable degree of crystallinity was obtained through the mechanical damage induced surface activation on amorphous silicon films. X-ray diffraction intensity of (111) orientation was used to characterize the degree of crystallinity of SPC. Nucleation and growth rate in SPC could be controllable through the employed surface treatment. IIydrogenated LPCVD films showed the superior crystallinity to non-hydrogenated sputtering films. Insignificant effects of activation treatment in sputtered film was of activation treatment in sputtered film was observed on SPC.

  • Poly-Si films have been prepared by solid phase crystallization of LPCVD(low-pressure CVD) amorphous silicon. The crystallinity of poly-Si films has been derived from UV reflectance spectrum and lies in the range between 70% and 80% . From XRD measurement the peak at 28.2$^{\circ}$from (111) plane is dominantly detected in the SPC poly-Si films, The average grain size of poly-Si film is determined by the image of SEM and varies from 4000 $\AA$ to 8000$\AA$. The electrical conductivity of as-deposited amorphous silicon film is about 2.5$\times$10$^{-7}$ ($\Omega$.cm)$^{-1}$ , and 3~4$\times$10$^{-6}$ ($\Omega$.cm)$^{-1}$ of room temperature conductivity is the SPC poly-Si films. The conductivity activation energies are 0.5~0.6 eV or the 500$\AA$-thick poly-Si films.

  • Recently, various Ni doping systems and thermal annealing systems have been developed for fabrication of polycrystalline silicon film using SGS (super grain silicon) for medium and largesize AMOLED panels. In this study, we compare the potential of Ni doping systems including ALD (atomic layer deposition), AMD (atmospheric metal deposition), in-line sputter, and crystallization annealing systems including batch type furnace, inline furnace, and RTA (rapid thermal annealing) developed for the SGS method. Additional requirements for those systems to be used for mass production of large AMOLED TVs are suggested based on evaluation results for both poly-Si films and TFT backplanes.

  • Brownish rings (BRs) with white interiors are formed during the manufacture of silicon ingots in quartz glass crucibles. These BRs inhibit the yield of silicon ingots. However, the composition and mechanism of the formation of these BRs remain unclear thus far. Therefore, in this study, we analyzed the color and shape of these BRs. Raman analysis revealed that the brown and white colors appear owing to oxygen deficiency rather than crystallization from excess oxygen supply as previously assumed. Moreover, the dark shade of the brown areas depends on the degree of oxygen deficiency and the asymmetrical width of the brown areas is attributed to the direction of the molten silicon flow, which is influenced by the rotation and heat of the ingot crucible.

  • $NiCl_2$ vapor was introduced into conventional furnace to conduct vapor-induced crystallization (VIC) process. We made the metal chloride atmosphere by sublimating the $NiCl_2$ compound. The $NiCl_2$ atmosphere enhanced the crystallization of amorphous silicon thin films. As the result, polycrystalline Si film with large grain size and low metal contamination has been obtained.

  • Highly ordered pore structures as a template for formation of seeds have been prepared by the self-organization process of aluminum oxidation. The a-Si films were deposited on the anodic alumina films and crystallized by laser irradiation. It was found that un-melted part of fine poly-Si grain formed by explosive crystallization (EX) lead super lateral growth(SLG) and occluded with neighbor grains. The crystallized grains along the distribution of seeds were obtained. This results show a great potential for use in novel crystallization for decently uniform polycrystalline Si thin film transistors (poly-Si TFTs).
