Disclosed are apparatus for forming a semiconductor film having an excellent crystallinity from a non-single crystal semiconducting layer formed on a base layer made of an insulating material. The apparatus includes a light source, a homogenizer for homogenizing an intensity distribution of the emitted light, an amplitude-modulation means for performing the amplitude-modulation such that the amplitude of the light, of which the intensity distribution is homogenized, is increased in the direction of the relative motion of the light to the base layer, an optional light projection optical system for projecting the amplitude-modulated light onto the surface of the non-single crystal semiconductor such that a predetermined irradiation energy can be obtained, a phase shifter for providing a low temperature point in the surface irradiated by the light, and a substrate stage to move the light relative to the substrate thereby enabling scanning in the X and Y axis.
摘要:
Methods for forming a single crystal semiconductor thin film layer from a non-single crystal layer includes directing a light source having a homogenized intensity distribution and a modulated amplitude towards the non-single crystal layer, and relatively moving the light with respect to the layer wherein the amplitude of the conditioned light is preferably increased in the direction of relative motion of the light to the layer. Preferred methods also include multiple light exposures in overlapping series to form ribbon-shaped single crystal regions, and providing a low temperature point in the semiconductor layer to generate a starting location for single crystalization.
