摘要
The effect of electric field on the growth and microstructure in doped amorphous silicon thin films during Ni induced lateral crystallization was investigated. With an applied electric field, n- and p-doped samples showed higher growth rate in the cathode and anode directions, respectively. The microstructure of the n- and p-doped samples showed bi-directional needle network and unidirectional-parallel structure, respectively. The reversal of the electric field effect in p-type doped sample was explained by employing charged vacancy migration. p-doped sample under an electric field can be useful for poly-Si TFT with its longer length, wider width, and higher growth rate.
