1 Crystallization of Amorphous Silicon Using Xenon Flash Lamp Annealing Henry Hellbusch 2/5/2016 RIT - Corning - Crystallization of A-Si with FLA 1

2 Purpose Thin Film Transistors (TFT) on glass are utilized for displays Low process temperatures required due to glass Transistor performance affects important display characteristics High mobility impacts refresh rate. Allows for smoother motion for rapidly changing scenes Low leakage currents affects amount of power required to keep a display on A-Si (amorphous silicon), Low Temperature Polysilicon (LTPS with Excimer laser), and IGZO (Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide) are currently the main materials for display transistors LTPS want to minimize grain boundaries 2/5/2016 RIT - Corning - Crystallization of A-Si with FLA 2

3 Previous Results Bulk film (not patterned) does not result in macro crystals Importance of TEOS capping layer Observed proximity effect to street [2] 2/5/2016 RIT - Corning - Crystallization of A-Si with FLA 3
