“…The demand for higher performance thin‐film solar cells and thin‐film transistors has fueled extensive research into the development of amorphous silicon (a‐Si) thin film with higher carrier mobility. As we know that crystallization of a‐Si thin films is a feasible method to reduce light‐induced degradation (Staebler–Wronski effect) and to improve carrier mobility of a‐Si thin films, which can be realized by several methods including thermal annealing, metal‐induced crystallizing, and laser annealing . Among these methods, femtosecond (Fs) laser irradiation has been paid much attention due to its unique advantages as nonthermal effect, fine control of nanocrystal (NC) size, and ability to maintain the initial stoichiometry and structure of the treated materials, as well as being able of carried out easily under various conditions as in vacuum, in gas, and in liquid environments .…”

“…The latter band survives in further measurements carried out at the lower irradiation power a lot of researchers [24][25][26][27][28][29]. It is agreed that, after a local heating of a-Si by a laser beam to temperatures higher than 1000 ∘ C [24][25][26] or the so-called "cold melting" of Si under the influence of short, but powerful laser pulses (10 11 ÷10 12 W/cm 2 ) [27][28][29], a thermally induced crystallization takes place. However, in our case, the power of a laser beam was insufficient for the thermal crystallization.…”

“…At the same time, in the spectra for region A (above the layer of metallic tin), besides the band of amorphous silicon state at 2 = 0.5 0 , there arises and grows, at 3 = 0 , an additional narrow band in the interval 490-500 cm −1 , which corresponds to the nanocrystalline phase of silicon [22,23]. The latter band survives in further measurements carried out at the lower irradiation power a lot of researchers [24][25][26][27][28][29]. It is agreed that, after a local heating of a-Si by a laser beam to temperatures higher than 1000 ∘ C [24][25][26] or the so-called "cold melting" of Si under the influence of short, but powerful laser pulses (10 11 ÷10 12 W/cm 2 ) [27][28][29], a thermally induced crystallization takes place.…”

“…Вместе с тем, для объемных фаз и тонких пленок известны и альтернативные способы кристаллизации. Так, в экспериментальных работах [16,17] кристаллизация аморфных пленок кремния [16], а также наночастиц кремния в матрице [17] Чистый кремний обладает низкой собственной проводимостью. Однако легирование, практически не изменяющее химический состав наночастиц и закономерности рассмотренных выше фазовых переходов, может существенно увеличивать проводимость.…”
