摘要
The Au metal-induced lateral crystallisation (Au-MILC) of a-Si:H film has been investigated under various crystallisation conditions. By annealing at 400 degrees C for 10h, the MILC rate induced by Au can be as large as 15.9 mu m/h which is much Faster than that possible with Ni and Pd. Owing to the very low annealing temperature treatment (less than or equal to 400 degrees C), the Au-MILC process represents an important technique for fabricating low cost ICs with poly-Si TFT structure on conventional glass substrate.
