Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) The liquid-solid interface motion and the temperature history of thin Si films during excimer laser annealing are observed by in-situ experiments combining time-resolved (~1ns) electrical conductance, optical reflectivity/transmissivity, and thermal emission measurements. The temperature response, melt propagation and evolution of the recrystallization process are fundamentally different in the partial-melting and the complete-melting regimes. Lateral crystal growth is induced by spatial control of partial/complete melting. Growth length is limited by the triggering of spontaneous nucleation in supercooled liquid Si and lateral solidification velocity is measured to be about 7.0 m/s.
