Diffusion of aluminum in amorphous silicon films during crystallization through infrared laser irradiation was studied. Diffusion regime was found to change from limited source to abundant source diffusion at higher laser source power. At the same time, crystalline structure of the obtained samples becomes more perfect, which is more characteristic to limited source diffusion mode.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
