Abstract

Metal induced crystallization of a-Si with a source of Ni/Si oxide was studied. Its mechanism to induce crystallization was discussed. It was found that new source behaves an effect of self-released nickel and reducing nickel residua, so can provide a wider process tolerance; improve the uniformity and stability of TFTs.
