Material characterization of metal induced lateral crystallization (MILC) process of amorphous silicon (a-Si) has been performed by using the spreading resistance probe (SRP) measurements. It was found that carrier mobility in boron ion implanted layer, formed in MILC region, is up to 65 % in comparison with mobility in boron ion implanted layer, formed in single crystalline silicon. It was also observed in this work that prolongation of MILC process from 1 hour to 2 hours had induced the increasing of mobility from 24 cm2/Vs to 34 cm2/Vs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
