研究目的
To evaluate and improve the quality of hydrogenated poly‐Si thin films by investigating the behavior of hydrogen (H) atoms in polycrystalline silicon (poly‐Si) thin film.
研究成果
Hydrogenation significantly improves the quality of poly‐Si thin films by passivating defects, but excessive hydrogenation can degrade performance. The catalytic method is effective in preventing damage from charged particles. The cooling rate from 400°C is crucial for effective hydrogenation in TFTs.
研究不足
The study focuses on poly‐Si thin films on glass substrates, and the findings may not be directly applicable to other substrates or materials. The hydrogenation techniques discussed may have limitations in terms of scalability or integration with existing manufacturing processes.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involves the use of laser crystallization technology for fabricating LT poly‐Si, employing excimer laser crystallization (ELC) and continuous wave laser lateral crystallization (CLC). Hydrogenation techniques include plasma hydrogenation and catalytic hydrogenation.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Poly‐Si thin films on glass substrates were used, with thicknesses of 50–150?nm. Data acquisition methods include secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and Raman microscopy.
