Polycrystalline silicon characterization using fiber laser

Obtaining desired polycrystalline silicon micro structure
i. Fiber laser
- high repetition rate on-off type modulation
single mode beam quality
low pulse energies
ii. Nd: YAG laser - long high energy pulses
poorer beam quality

4. Experimental
details

iii. Application perspective - both lasers have their advantages

i. Considering the differences in beam quality and pulsed energy performance
between the two types of lasers
ii. Microstructural analysis using by SEM, TEM and AFM
iii. Grain size characterization based on ImageJ
iv. Numerical simulation using 3DNS for better understanding irradiated

5. Expected
outcome

thermal energy evolution during crystallization

i. Producing very smooth surface with minimal protrusion
ii. Obtaining desired Si crystal structure
