摘要:
A silicon crystallization method renders it is possible to form alignment key without additional photolithography, and to adjust a substrate to a correct position by sensing a deviation of the substrate when the substrate is loaded. The silicon crystallization method includes aligning the substrate by sensing a fixed substrate with a sensing device, and moving and/or rotating a stage, wherein the sensing device faces toward an edge of the substrate to directly sense the edge of the substrate; forming alignment keys on predetermined portions of a non-display area of the substrate by correspondingly placing a mask for formation of an alignment key above the substrate; and crystallizing an amorphous silicon by correspondingly providing a mask for crystallization above the substrate.

There is provided a capacity-limited waste receiving device for a waste collection system, in which a waste receiving device in a vacuum-conveyance waste collection system (which conveys waste along a line) automatically conveying the waste to a central collecting station is improved to be more efficient. The capacity-limited waste receiving device for a waste collection system in which the waste being put into a waste receiving device is automatically conveyed to a central collecting station through a conveying line, comprises: a cover to be opened/closed to open/close the waste receiving device; and a housing with an upper end and a lower end, the upper end on which the cover is installed and the lower end which is connected to the conveying line connected to the central collect storage, wherein the housing comprises: an inlet passage casing with an upper end to which the cover is attached; an under passage casing installed under the inlet passage casing; a damper installed between the inlet passage casing and the under passage casing; a chute connected to a lower end of the under passage casing, wherein a discharge valve for discharging the waste to the conveying pipe is installed under the chute; and an interlocker operatively connecting the cover and the damper, ensuring that either opening or closing of the cover is opposite to either opening or closing the damper.

A laser mask includes a mask pattern with edges having inverted shapes to alleviate the effects of diffraction of laser beams to reduce overlap regions such that crystallization characteristics are improved. The laser mask includes a mask pattern that includes transmitting regions and a blocking region. The edges of the mask have shapes inverted to the shapes of the edges of a silicon thin film crystallized by the pattern.

A laser annealing apparatus for sequential lateral solidification (SLS) to uniformly crystallize silicon on an entire silicon substrate by minimizing the dislocation of the silicon substrate during laser beam irradiation is disclosed. During the laser annealing, a vacuum chuck holds the silicon substrate on a movable stage. The device includes a laser source, an optical system patterning the shape and energy of a laser beam irradiated from the laser source, a vacuum chuck supporting a silicon substrate, and a movable stage supporting the vacuum chuck as well as transferring the vacuum chuck in a predetermined direction. Accordingly, the apparatus improves the degree of crystallization because it is able to uniformly carry out SLS on an entire surface of the silicon substrate.

A mask and its application in sequential lateral solidification (SLS) crystallization of amorphous silicon are provided. The mask includes a light absorptive portion for blocking a laser beam and a plurality of stripe-shaped light transmitting portions for passing the laser beam. Each stripe-shaped light transmitting portion is rectangular-shaped, and each light-transmitting portion includes triangular-shaped or semicircular-shaped edges on both sides. The distance between the adjacent light transmitting portions is less than the width of the light transmitting portion. The width of the light transmitting portions is less than or equal to twice the maximum length of lateral grain growth that is to be grown by sequential lateral solidification (SLS).
