Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, the excimer laser tempering technology and metal-induced amorphous silicon crystallization are commonly used in the production of polysilicon thin films, namely ELA technology and MIA technology, but the existing ELA technology has the following defects: laser Energy fluctuations between different pulses, uneven energy density at different parts of the laser beam cross-section, uneven thickness of amorphous silicon film, etc., these defects will lead to temperature fluctuations and unevenness of amorphous silicon after being heated by laser, thus affecting the uniformity of crystallization Insufficient brightness of transistors, uneven color ELA mura and other problems
