We have measured the minority carrier (electron, in this case) lifetime in the laser recrystallized polysilicon on ceramics substrates by the open circuit voltage decay (OCVD) method and by the modulated photocurrent (MPC) method. We have found from both measurements that the lifetime in the Si film is comparable to or longer than 1 mu s. We discuss briefly the possible reasons for this rather long lifetime for recrystallized material.
