摘要：

The effect of laser energy density on the crystallization of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin films was studied theoretically and experimentally. The thin films were irritated with a frequency-doubled (lambda=532 nm) Nd:YAG pulsed nanosecond laser. An effective finite element model was built to predict the melting threshold and the optimized laser energy density for crystallization of intrinsic amorphous silicon. Simulation analysis revealed variations in the temperature distribution with time and melting depth. The highest crystalline fraction measured by Raman spectroscopy (84.5%) agrees well with the optimized laser energy density (1000 mJ/cm(2)) in the transient-state simulation. The surface morphology of the thin films observed by optical microscopy is in fairly good agreement with the temperature distribution in the steady-state simulation. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
