[14p-B7-4] Control of Crystal Growth and Defects in Group IV Semiconductor Thin Films by Atmospheric Pressure Thermal Plasma Jet
Keywords:thin film transistor, atomospheric pressure plasma, crystallization
High speed scanning of molten region formed by atmospheric pressure thermal plasma jet into amorphous silicon strips realizes local single crystal formation. By avoiding excess heating of molten silicon, surface roughening and defect formation in crystallized silicon strips are suppressed and high performance thin film transistors with average mobility of 503 cm2V-1s-1 and threshold voltage of 1.7 V are successfully fabricated.
