Abstract

The grain size of phosphorous (P)-doped poly-Si film has been enlarged to about 5000 Å by controlling the solidification velocity of molten Si during ArF excimer laser annealing. The drastically enlarged grain has few defects inside the grain. It has been confirmed that control of the solidification velocity is effective for P-doped poly-Si similar to the case of non-doped poly-Si films. In addition, a sheet resistance of 80 Ω/□ (ρ = 4 × 10-4 Ω · cm) has been achieved for very thin (500 Å) films by recrystallizing PECVD P-doped a-Si films.
