    Abstract

    Laser-crystallization of amorphous Ge0.85Si0.15 films is studied, using green laser scanning and preformed topography to steer the crystallization. Large crystals (8x2 μm2) are formed with location-controlled grain boundaries. The obtained films were characterized using Scanning Electron Microscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy, Atomic Force Microscopy, X-Ray Photoelectron spectroscopy, X-Ray Diffraction and Spectroscopic Ellipsometry. In addition, the activation of ion-implanted poly-Ge0.85Si0.15 films is compared after furnace annealing, rapid thermal annealing and green-laser annealing.
