AMOLED에 대한 관심이 높아짐에 따라 LTPS (Low Temperature Poly Silicon) TFT에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 다결정 실리콘은 단결정 실리콘에 비해 100 cm2/V 이상의 이동도를 보이는 우수한 특성으로 인해 AMOLED 디스플레이에 적합하며 여러 기업에서 LTPS 공정을 이용한 TFT제작을 연구 중이다. LTPS 공정은 현재 ELA (Excimer Laser Annealing) 방식으로 대면적 유리기판에 ELA 방법을 적용함에 있어 설비투자 비용이 지나치게 높아진다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 설비투자 비용의 문제점을 해결하기 위해 Diode Laser을 이용하여 Annealing하는 방법에 대해 연구하였다. 본 연구는 Diode Laser Annealing 방식을 이용하여 poly-Si을 구현하였다. 단결정 실리콘을 제작하기 위해 ICP-CVD장비를 이용하여 150$^{\circ}C$에서 SiH4, He2 혼합, He/SiH4의 flow rate는 20/2[sccm], RF power는 400 W에서 700 W으로 가변, 증착 압력은 25mTorr으로 하였다. 940 nm 파장의 30 W Diode Laser를 8 mm Spot Size로 a-Si에 순간 조사하여 결정화, 그 결과 grain을 형성한 polycrystalline 구조를 확인하였다.

In this study we investigated post ELA(Excimer Laser Annealing) effect on SMC (Silicide Mediated Crystalization) poly-Si (Polycrystalline Silicon) to improve the characteristics of poly-Si. Combining SMC and XeCl ELA were used to crystallize the a-Si (amorphous Silicon) at various ELA energy density for LTPS (Low Temperature Polycrystalline Silicon). We fabricated the conventional SMC poly-Si with no SPC (Solid Phase Crystallization) phase using UV heating method[1] and irradiated excimer laser on SMC poly-Si, so called SMC-ELA poly-Si. After using post ELA we can get better surface morphology than conventional ELA poly-Si and enhance characteristics of SMC poly-Si. We also observed the threshold energy density regime in SMC-ELA poly-Si like conventional ELA poly-Si.

Low temperature polycrystalline silicon (LTPS) technology using a high power laser have been widely applied to thin film transistors (TFTs) for liquid crystal, organic light emitting diode (OLED) display, driver circuit for system on glass (SOG) and static random access memory (SRAM). Recently, the semiconductor industry is continuing its quest to create even more powerful CPU and memory chips. This requires increasing of individual device speed through the continual reduction of the minimum size of device features and increasing of device density on the chip. Moreover, the flat panel display industry also need to be brighter, with richer more vivid color, wider viewing angle, have faster video capability and be more durable at lower cost. Kornic Systems Co., Ltd. developed the $KORONA^{TM}$ LTP/GLTP series - an innovative production tool for fabricating flat panel displays and semiconductor devices - to meet these growing market demands and advance the volume production capabilities of flat panel displays and semiconductor industry. The $KORONA^{TM}\;LTP/GLTP$ series using DPSS laser and XeCl excimer laser is designed for the new generation of the wafer & FPD glass annealing processing equipment combining advanced low temperature poly-silicon (LTPS) crystallization technology and object-oriented software architecture with a semistandard graphical user interface (GUI). These leading edge systems show the superior annealing ability to the conventional other method. The $KORONA^{TM}\;LTP/GLTP$ series provides technical and economical benefits of advanced annealing solution to semiconductor and FPD production performance with an exceptional level of productivity. High throughput, low cost of ownership and optimized system efficiency brings the highest yield and lowest cost per wafer/glass on the annealing market.

The thermal endurance of fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs), written with the aid of 193-nm ArF excimer laser irradiation on H₂-loaded Ge/B codoped silica fiber, and pretreated with a CO₂ laser and a subsequent slow cooling process, is investigated. These treated gratings show relatively less degradation of grating strength during the thermal annealing procedure. The thermal decay characteristics of treated and untreated fiber, recorded over a time period of 9 hours, have been compared. The effect on the Bragg transmission depth (BTD) and the center-wavelength shift, as well as the growth of refractive-index change during the grating inscription process for both treated and untreated fiber, are analyzed.

We have fabricated poly-Si TFTs at 170$^{\circ}C$ using inductively coupled plasma chemical vapor deposition (ICP-CVD) and excimer laser annealing (ELA). A Poly-Si film with large grains exceeding 5000${\AA}$ and a $SiO_2$ film with high breakdown field are deposited by ICP-CVD. A high mobility exceeding 100$cm^2$/Vs with a low sub-threshold swing of 0.76V/dec was obtained.

In this paper, the effects of negative and positive bias stress on p-channel poly-Si TFT's fabricated by excimer laser annealing have been investigated After positive and negative bias stress, transcon-ductance(g$_{m}$) is increased because of a reduction of the effective channel length due to the injected electron in the gate oxide. In the positive bias stress, the injection of hole is appeared after stress time of 3600sec and g$_{m}$ is decreased. On the other hand, the gate voltage at the maximum g$_{m}$, S-swing and threshold voltage(V$_{th}$) are decreased because of the interface state generation due to the injection of electrons into the gate oxide.e.ide.e.

The laser annealing effects on the TEOS (Tetra-Ethyl-Ortho-Silicate) oxide of MOS (Al/TEOS/n+ Silicon) structures was investigated with different initial oxide conditions, such as breakdown field. The breakdown field increased up to the 170 $mJ/cm^2$ with increasing laser energy density and decreased at 220 $mJ/cm^2$. It is considered that the increase of breakdown field is originated from the restore of strains which exist mainly at the metal/oxide interface.

Schottky barrier thin film transistors (SB-TFT) on polycrystalline silicon(poly-Si) are fabricated by platinum silicided source/drain for p-type SB-TFT. High quality poly-Si film were obtained by crystallizing the amorphous Si film with excimer laser annealing (ELA) or solid phase crystallization (SPC) method. The fabricated poly-Si SB-TFTs showed low leakage current level and a large on/off current ratio larger than $10^5$. Significant improvement of electrical characteristics were obtained by the additional forming gas annealing in 2% $H_2/N_2$ ambient, which is attributed to the termination of dangling bond at the poly-Si grain boundaries as well as the reduction of interface trap states at gate oxide/poly-Si channel.

The waveguide Bragg gratings have been fabricated by the phase-mask method. An excimer laser with maximum 600mJ output pulse energy and uniform phase masks have been used. Hydrogen loading is often used for enhancing the uv photosensitivity of the core, however, the resultant gratings show significant aging effect. In the present study, high temperature thermal annealing process has been investigated to obtain thermal gratings and process parameters are deduced.

We reported the a-Si crystallization using a XeCl excimer laser annealing on the plastic substrate. The poly-Si film is able to grow in the low temperature and light substrate like a plastic. For the preparation of sample, substrate is cleaned by organic liquids. The film of $CeO_{2}$ layer as the buffer layer was grown by sputtering methods. After a-Si film deposition using ICPCVD, the film was crystallized by XeCl excimer laser. In this paper, we present the crystallization properties of a-Si on the plastic substrate
