Abstract

We have characterized XeCl excimer-laser-induced crystallization of thin amorphous silicon films deposited by PECVD (${\alpha}-Si:H$) and LPCVD(${\alpha}-Si$). The electrical and optical properties and surface roughness of crystallized thin films have been measured. The dc conductivities, crystallinity and surface roughness of the films increased as the laser energy density and shot density were increased. Also, we have investigated the effects of 2-step annealing employing SPC and ELA. The properties of 2-step annealed films were better than those of films annealed by ELA only.
