Polygon-based optical system is a crucial component in spot beam annealing, providing precise control over the laser spot position and achieving high linear velocities. Crystallization tests involve power and spot overlap evaluations, AFM measurements, and Raman/SEM analysis to optimize the process parameters and understand the spot-beam annealing mechanism. This paper presents the system configuration and experimental results for spot beam annealing in low-temperature polysilicon ...
