摘要：

Electric-field-enhanced crystallization of hydrogenated amorphous silicon in contact with nickel catalyst (Ni/a-Si:H) has been investigated. In order to elucidate the crystallization kinetics quantitatively, in situ conductivity measurement was used. With the change of Ni dose (4 x 10(13) similar to1.3 x 10(15) cm(-2)) and annealing temperature (550 similar to 500degreesC), crystallization rate varied drastically at the electric field of 33 V cm(-1). The activation energy for the crystallization was found to be strongly dependent on the Ni dose, 85 kJ mol(-1) for 1.3 x 10(15) Ni cm(-2), 243 kJ mol(-1) for 6 x 10(14) Ni cm(-2), and 276 kJ mol(-1) for 4 x 10(13) Ni cm(-2), respectively. The polycrystalline silicon films were composed of needle-like crystallites of similar to5 mum (long axis) and their thin-film transistors (TFTs) showed field effect mobility of 43 cm(2) V-1 s(-1).
