摘要
We succeed in decreasing the fluence of a flash-lamp pulse required for the crystallization of electron-beam (EB)-evaporated amorphous silicon (a-Si) films using silicon nitride (SiNx) antireflection films. The antireflection effect of SiNx is confirmed not only when SiNx is placed on the surface of a-Si or flash lamp annealing (FLA) is performed from the film side, but also when SiNx is inserted between glass and a-Si and a flash pulse is supplied from the glass side. We also quantitatively confirm, by calculating flash-lamp pulse energies actually reaching a-Si films using reflectance spectra, that the reduction in the fluence of a flash-lamp pulse for the crystallization of a-Si films is due to the antireflection effect of SiNx.
