Abstract
In this paper, we used the electron beam (e-beam) evaporation to deposit Ge thin film on glass, and used microwave annealing (MWA) system of 5.8 GHz frequency for thin film crystallization. Then, we compared the MWA experiment results of sample sheet resistance (Rs), crystallization strength and cross section with those using traditional rapid thermal annealing (RTA) equipment. We found that MWA can get poly-Ge thin film with (111), (220) and (311) crystallization directions and optimal Rs at a temperature of about 450 ° C without affecting the film thickness. By comparison, RTA equipment can only reduce the sample Rs at least temperature of 550oC.
