摘要：

We report on lateral crystalline grain growth of silicon thin films by a combination of pulsed laser irradiation with rapid substrate heating. A Cr strip was heated by electrical current induced joule heating. Due to heat diffused from the Cr heater, a temperature gradient was formed in the lateral direction of the silicon films. The results of two-dimensional heat flow simulation and scanning electron microphotographs suggest that lateral crystalline grain growth occurred at temperature gradient of about 1.3 x 10(5) K/cm in the case of 1-10(4) W/cm(2) joule heating intensity. The crystalline grain size was 2similar to3 mum.
