Fig. 3 is referred to, Fig. 3 is that the phase transition temperature in a kind of thin film actuated light irradiation process provided in an embodiment of the present invention closes It is schematic diagram;Wherein, the principle of LRC is that material surface transient heating is allowed to using the high-energy of laser to melt crystallization, Matter is the process of thermal induced phase transition, this point also has essential distinction with traditional laser thermal anneal.Therefore, LRC can be regarded as laser To the fuel factor of film, i.e. laser is melted illuminated film by fuel factor, and crystallization is allowed to cool in the shorter time Process.Crystallization is broadly divided into following three phases to laser again:
1) interaction stage of laser and substance.This stage material absorbing laser energy is changed into thermal energy, reaches fusing State.During high-order harmonics spectrum, electric property, optical property, constructional aspect of substance etc. change.
2) the heat transfer stage of material.According to thermodynamics basic law, laser action in will occur on material conduction, it is right Three kinds of heat transfer types of stream and radiation, heating speed is fast at this time, and temperature gradient is big.
3) mass transfer stage of the material under laser action.Mass transfer, i.e. substance move to separately from a certain position in space or space The phenomenon that one position.In this stage, the particle setting in motion of energy is obtained through laser emission.There are two kinds of forms for mass transfer:Diffusion Mass transfer and convective mass transfer.What diffusion mass transfer represented is the microscopic motion of atom or molecule;Convective mass transfer is then the macroscopic view fortune of fluid It is dynamic.For melting crystallization mechanism completely, the temperature variations of laser crystallization rear film again are as shown in Figure 3.
It assists preparing high quality void Ge substrates using LRC technologies, it is desirable that Ge layers of temperature of void are at least up to molten under laser action Point, and close proximity to scorification point, reach the nearly complete molten condition of preferable crystallization, ensure the follow-up perfect crystallization of Ge crystal grain.Together When, the Si substrate layers below epitaxial layer cannot reach fusing point, ensure that LRC does not have an impact substrate.It is accordingly, it is determined that rational LRC related process parameters (such as laser power density, movement speed) control epitaxial layer Temperature Distribution, will be the technique success or failure Key.Fig. 4 is referred to, Fig. 4 is a kind of finite element simulation knot of the technique of Ge/Si substrate materials provided in an embodiment of the present invention Fruit schematic diagram.In figure, ordinate represents Ge/Si system thickness, using sharp on the Ge/Si substrates of Ge epitaxy layer thickness 500nm Luminous power is 6.1kW/m, and the process conditions that laser traverse speed is 400mm/min can realize that Ge melts crystallization and Si does not melt.
Fig. 5 is referred to, Fig. 5 is a kind of continuous laser provided in an embodiment of the present invention crystallization process effect diagram again.Swash Light is pointed into sample stage by total reflection prism, and passes through in convex lens focus to sample, thin in thermal histories so as to prevent Liquid after film melts is affected by gravity and flows the influence generated to crystallization.Laser again crystallization when, stepper motor drive sample Platform moves, and is often moved to a position and carries out a laser irradiation, the position is made to become the blockage with high-energy, is then stopped Only laser irradiation, sample stage are further continued for laser irradiation when being moved to the next position.So it is whole so that laser is irradiated to successively for cycle A film surface so far completes continuous laser crystallization process again.
In addition, it is necessary to it emphasizes, LRC techniques of the invention and laser annealing (laser annealing) technique There is significant difference.Laser annealing technique belongs to thermal anneal process scope.It uses laser only to be carried out as heat source to semiconductor Heat treatment, does not generate phase transition process.And laser of the present invention, again in crystallization process processing procedure, semi-conducting material can occur twice Phase transformation -- melt the solid-phase crystallization again that liquefies then.Thus, both this technique has significant difference in itself.
From the foregoing, it will be observed that the Ge/Si substrates are thin Ge epitaxial layers to be formed through two-step method, then swashed with continuous by magnetron sputtering Light crystallization grows Ge transverse crystallizings, can effectively reduce the dislocation density of Ge/Si substrates.Meanwhile Ge film thicknesses on Si substrates Also more aforementioned common methods are thinner, so as to be more advantageous to the transmission of light.Therefore, the Ge/Si of high quality prepared by the present invention The GaInP/GaAs/Ge three-joint solar cells of substrate will obtain higher electricity conversion.
