本論文建構一套能夠即時量測薄膜於準分子雷射照射期間之反射率與穿透率變化之原位(in-situ)線上光學檢測系統(Time-Resolved Optical Reflectivity and Transmissivity,TRORT),本量測系統包含He-Ne雷射、高速光檢測器以及高速數位示波器。由於矽膜於熔化至結晶之變化,對於He-Ne雷射之反射與穿透率之特性均不同,因此可運用於PECVD與Sputtering製程所製作之矽膜之再結晶特性研究,並配合金相顯微鏡、場效發射掃描式電子顯微鏡、微拉曼光譜儀、原子力顯微鏡與高解析度穿透式電子顯微鏡之材料微結構觀察與分析,進而提出再矽膜結晶機制。實驗結果顯示,本研究所建構之薄膜線上光學檢測系統,確實可以於準分子雷射退火(Excimer Laser Annealing, ELA)期間,線上即時檢測薄膜再結晶特性變化,即可以得知薄膜產生熔化、成核、凝固以及轉變成多晶等相變化過程。當a-Si厚度均勻度控制在小於± 5 %下、準分子雷射之脈衝能量變異量標準差小於2 %以及準分子雷射光束能量分布均勻性小於2.5 %,運用線上光學檢測系統所檢測之矽膜熔化時間,可以直接推測出多晶矽之晶粒尺寸。穿透式電子顯微鏡結果顯示背面照射準分子雷射退火(Backside ELA)與正面照射準分子雷射退火(Frontside ELA)於超級橫向長結晶之機制是一樣,因此如以量產低溫多晶矽薄膜電晶體(Low temperature polycrystalline silicon thin film transistors, LTPS TFTs)製程觀點來分析,本研究發現Backside ELA優於Frontside ELA,原因為雷射利用效能高以及運用光吸收膜進行LTPS TFTs元件製作製程簡便。藉由改變a-Si厚度與試片預熱溫度來提昇多晶矽膜之晶粒尺寸,提昇倍率有限,因此唯有運用晶粒定位技術與試片結構中搭配光吸收膜才可製作出大晶粒並實現單晶矽薄膜電晶體製作。
An in-situ real-time time-resolved optical reflectivity and transmissivity (TRORT) inspection system combining two He-Ne probe lasers, three photodiodes and a fast digital oscilloscope was developed to investigate the recrystallization mechanism of silicon thin films fabricated by excimer laser annealing (ELA) in this study. The significant change for the reflectivity and transmissivity of thin films in the liquid and crystalline phase during ELA is the principal theory of the TRORT inspection system. The laser-annealed microstructures were investigated by optical microscopy, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, micro-Raman spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to shed light on the recrystallization mechanism of silicon thin films. TRORT measurements revealed that the entire phase transformation processes: melting, nucleation, resolidification, and crystalline phase can be observed during ELA. The grain size of polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) can be directly estimated from the melt duration of liquid Si under thickness uniformity of precursor a-Si thin films below ±5 %, pulse-to-pulse variation in excimer laser beam energy below 2 % (standard deviation), and beam homogeneity below 2.5 %. Detailed TEM analyses showed that the recrystallization mechanism in the super lateral growth for frontside ELA and backside ELA are the same. From the viewpoint of mass production of low temperature polycrystalline silicon thin films transistor (LTPS TFTs) using light-absorptive film with suitable absorption coefficient, the backside ELA seems to be an appropriate approach due to higher excimer laser efficiency and the reduction of processing time. In order to realize the fabrication of single-crystal Si TFTs on a large-area glass substrate, the approach combining both location control technique of Si crystal grains and sample containing light-absorptive films with an appropriate absorption coefficient is required, while the enlargement of grain size of poly-Si is limited by the method of increasing the thickness of a-Si or substrate heating.
