Abstract

We demonstrated efficient crystallization of amorphous Si films induced by their direct irradiation with near-IR femtosecond laser pulses coming at sub-MHz repetition rate. Comprehensive analysis of morphology and composition of the laser-annealed film by atomic-force microscopy, Fourier-transform IR, Raman and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy as well as numerical modeling of optical spectra confirmed efficient crystallization of amorphous Si and high-quality of the obtained films opening pathway for applications in thin-film solar cells, transistors and displays.
