摘要:
A laser annealing device (10) includes a laser oscillator (12), radiating a pulsed laser light beam of a preset period, and an illuminating optical system (15) for illuminating a pulsed laser light beam to an amorphous silicon film (1). The illuminating optical system (15) manages control for moving a laser spot so that a plural number of light pulses will be illuminated on the same location on the amorphous silicon film (1). The laser oscillator (12) radiates a laser light beam of a pulse generation period shorter than the reference period. The reference period is a time interval as from the radiation timing of illumination of a pulsed laser light beam on the surface of the film (1) until the timing of reversion of the substrate temperature raised due to the illumination of the laser light beam to the original substrate temperature.

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a thin film device. The thin film device is manufactured by bonding a second substrate (106) to a thin film device layer (103) provided on a protective layer (102) formed on a first substrate (101) through a first adhesive layer (105), then, completely or partly removing the first substrate (101) in accordance with a process including at least one process of a chemical process and a mechanical polishing process, bonding a third substrate (109) to the exposed protective layer (102) or the protective layer (102) covered with the partly removed first substrate (101) through a second adhesive layer (108) and separating or removing the second substrate (106). Thus, the thin film device suitable for a light and thin display panel is manufactured without deteriorating a ruggedness.
摘要:
A polycrystalline thin film of good quality is obtained by improving a crystallization process of a semiconductor thin film using laser light. After conducting a film forming step of forming a non-single crystal semiconductor thin film on a surface of a substrate, an annealing step is conducted by irradiating with laser light to convert the non-single crystal semiconductor thin film to a polycrystalline material. The annealing step is conducted by changing and adjusting the cross sectional shape of the laser light to a prescribed region. The semiconductor thin film is irradiated once or more with a pulse of laser light having an emission time width from upstand to downfall of 50 ns or more and having a constant cross sectional area, so as to convert the semiconductor thin film contained in an irradiated region corresponding to the cross sectional area to a polycrystalline material at a time. At this time, the energy intensity of laser light from upstand to downfall is controlled to apply a desired change. According to the procedures, a polycrystalline material having a large particle diameter or a uniform particle diameter can be obtained. In some cases, upon irradiation with laser light, the substrate may be maintained in a non-oxidative atmosphere, or may be heated or cooled.

A thin-film device is fabricated by forming a protective layer and a thin-film device layer one by one on a first substrate and bonding a second substrate on the thin-film device layer via a first adhesive layer or a coating layer and first adhesive layer, removing the first substrate at least in a part thereof by etching with a chemical solution, bonding the protective layer, which covers the thin-film device layer on a side of the first substrate, to a third substrate via a second adhesive layer, and removing the second substrate. The protective layer is formed of at least two layers having resistance to the chemical solution used upon removal of the first substrate.
