Abstract

A report on the complex solidification structures formed during laser thermal processing (LTP) of a titanium nitride/titanium/polycrystalline silicon/silicon dioxide/silicon film stack was presented. The titanium atoms were found to diffuse through the entire polycrystalline silicon layer during irradiation. The results showed that a thick a-Si layer was formed upon LTP in the presence of titanium.
