Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method for a low-temperature polycrystalline silicon film, and the specific steps of the method are that: forming a buffering layer and a noncrystalline silicon layer successively on a substrate; carrying out regioselectivity doping of the noncrystalline silicon layer through the technology of element doping, and forming a periodic structure at the noncrystalline silicon layer, wherein the periodic structure is formed by the alternative arrangement of doped regions and non-doped regions; and carrying out laser crystallization of the noncrystalline silicon layer, and obtaining the low-temperature polycrystalline silicon film. When the noncrystalline silicon layer is irradiated by laser, a complete fusion region and a non-complete fusion region are formed because the doped regions and the non-doped regions are different in capability of absorbing laser energy, and there is a lateral temperature gradient between the complete fusion region and the non-complete fusion region, thereby prompting and controlling the super lateral crystallization of crystal nucleus, and increasing the crystal grain size. Through doping, the super lateral crystallization condition is established, thereby facilitating the growth of a large-size crystal grain. Meanwhile, the method can change the absorption capability of noncrystalline silicon layer, and a solid laser and other cheap lasers are employed for crystallization, thereby reducing the preparation cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of polysilicon, in particular to a method for preparing a low-temperature polysilicon thin film based on super lateral crystallization formed by doping. Background technique [0002] Polycrystalline silicon (p-Si) has a carrier mobility much greater than that of amorphous silicon (a-Si). Polycrystalline silicon (p-Si) is comparable to the high carrier mobility of single crystal silicon and is often used instead of amorphous silicon in thin film transistors. (TFT) active layer, so it is widely used in integrated peripheral driven active liquid crystal display (AMLCD) and active organic light emitting diode (AMOLED). The substrate of the polysilicon thin film of the flat panel display is glass which is difficult to withstand the high temperature process. Under the constraints of this condition, the low temperature polysilicon (LTPS) technology is an inevitable choice for the industry. [0003] As far as the c...
