    2003.12Poly-silicon (Si) thin film transistor (TFT) is a key component of liquid crystaldisplay (LCD) panels. We have investigated atomistic processes of nucleation and crystallization in excimer-laser annealed thin Si films on glass based on molecular-dynamics simulations. Our purpose is to analyze mechanism of the crystal growth of excimer-laser anneal..

1. We have developed a new thermoelectric power-generating module composed of 72
pieces of n-type Ba8Al18Si28 clathrate elements made by arc melting. The Seebeck coefficient,
specific electric resistance and thermal conductivity of Ba8Al18Si28 clathrate were 250 μV/K, 1.9
mΩcm and 3.1 W/mK at 500 ºC, respectively, and the thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT) was
0.8. The new thermoelectric module was constructed using only n-type thermoelectric elements
connected in series with hook-shaped electrodes. The open-circuit voltage of the module was 1.8
V at the hot-side temperature of 500 ºC. The maximum electric power was 0.24 W. The module
was successfully used to charge lithium-ion batteries for mobile phones..
2. We have performed molecular-dynamics simulations of heating, melting and
recrystallization processes in amorphous silicon (a-Si) thin films deposited on glass during
excimer laser annealing. By partially heating the a-Si surface region with 2 nm depth and
removing thermal energy from the bottom of the glass substrate, a steady-state temperature
profile was obtained in the a-Si layer with the thickness of 15 nm and only the surface region
was melted. It was found that nucleation predominantly occurred in the a-Si region as judged by
the coordination numbers and diffusion constants of atoms in the region. The results suggest that
nucleation occurs in unmelted residual a-Si region during the laser irradiation and then crystal
growth proceeds toward liquid Si region under the near-complete melting condition..
3. Molecular-dynamics simulations of crystal growth of Silicon thin fi lms by excimer laser annealing.
