Abstract
We studied laser crystallization of amorphous silicon films prepared at ultra low temperatures (150°C). Amorphous silicon films having a low content of hydrogen were deposited by using catalytic chemical vapor deposition method. Influence of process parameters on the hydrogen content was investigated. Laser crystallization was performed dispensing with the preliminary dehydrogenation process. Crystallization took place at a laser energy density value as low as 70 mJ/cm2, and the grain size increased with increasing the laser energy. The ELA crystallization of Catalytic CVD a-Si film is a promising candidate for Poly-Si TFT in active-matrix flexible display on plastic substrates.
