Abstract

We review the various applications of pulsed lasers, working in the nanosecond regime, to prepare high-quality poly-Si TFTs. It is shown that the best device performances (field-effect mobilities in excess of 140 cm 2/V·s) are achieved by pulsed excimer laser crystallization of unhydrogenated amorphous Si thin films. In addition, for source and drain formation, we demonstrate that the excimer laser induced diffusion of dopant from a solid source (spin-on phosphorus-doped silicate glass) is very attractive to achieve good electrical properties of the n-channel TFTs.
