Abstract

Polycrystalline silicon films of 300 nm thickness were deposited on oxidized wafer surfaces, implanted with As, and annealed. A bimodal distribution of grain sizes was present in the as-deposited films. The grain growth processes are described with a modified model for interfacially driven grain growth. This model accounts for diffusion and grain growth which occur with rapidly rising and falling temperatures during short annealing times.
