Abstract
Pulsed interference laser crystallization of amorphous silicon has been applied to produce polycrystalline silicon thin films with grain sizes exceeding 5 μm. It has been achieved by shifting the samples through the interference pattern, with steps of typical 100 nm width. Grain sizes have been investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM). The grains show quadratic shapes with a typical length of the applied interference period (5 μm) and width around 1.5-2.5 μm.
