Abstract

See full text

A high-quality isotropic polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) and a method for fabricating high quality isotropic poly-Si film are provided. The method includes forming a film of amorphous silicon (a-Si) and using a MISPC process to form poly-Si film in a first area of the a-Si film. The method then anneals a second area, included in the first area, using a Laser-Induced Lateral Growth (LILaC) process. In some aspects, a 2N-shot laser irradiation process is used as the LILaC process. In some aspects, a directional solidification process is used as the LILaC process. In response to using the MISPC film as a precursor film, the method forms low angle grain boundaries in poly-Si in the second area.
