1301293 (1) _ 九、發明說明 【發明.所屬之技術領域】 本發明係關於薄膜材料的結晶化方法及其裝置,特別 是關於,藉由對薄膜狀的矽製材料照射脈衝狀雷射,來使 材料結晶化,主要作爲平面面板所使用的薄膜電晶體的結 晶化矽之製造所使用的薄膜材料的結晶化方法及其裝置。 B 【先前技術】 於專利文獻1、2中記載有:於薄膜狀的矽製材料照 射複數次脈衝狀雷射來形成結晶粒時,將1個脈衝狀雷射 分割、延遲爲複數之分割雷射,將這些分割雷射予以重疊 之雷射加以照射之方法及裝置。此脈衝狀雷射係藉由疊合 複數的分割雷射來使脈衝的時間寬變廣。藉此,可使藉由 1個脈衝狀雷射的照射所致之材料的熔化後,結晶化進展 的時間變長,能使結晶的大小變大。藉由使結晶粒變大, Φ 可使薄膜電晶·體(以下,稱爲「TFT」。)的源極、汲極 間之晶粒邊界數減少,能使TFT的動作速度變快。 [專利文獻1]日本專利特開平8- 1 48423號公報 [專利文獻2]日本專利特開平6-5537號公報 【發明內容】 [發明所欲解決之課題] 在以藉由雷射照射使其結晶化之薄膜狀的矽製材料來 製作平面面板的情形,很重要的是,TFT的動作速度要快 (2) (2)1301293 ,更重要的特性是,要求面板整體的TFT特性的差異要小 。爲此,需要使結晶粒的大小變得均勻。 但是,專利文獻1、2中,欠缺對此點之考慮。當然 ,於製作平面面板時,也寄望產出要優異。 爲了使結晶粒的大小變得均勻,需要以最佳照射能量 密度,每一處所複數次,特別是1〇〜20次照射由脈衝( 時間)狀雷射所形成之方形(空間)的線束來製作。此時 ,雷射的重複頻率爲數百Hz的關係,脈衝狀雷射係以數 ms間隔被照射。因此,藉由1脈衝的照射,矽熔化、結 晶化後,被冷卻至照射前的溫度,2脈衝以後之脈衝狀雷 射陸續被照射。 即藉由均化器來將脈衝(時間)狀激光雷射整形爲方 形(空間)之線束,以5〜10%之進給間距對薄膜之a-Si ,以最佳之能量密度,每一處照射1 〇〜2 0次,得以形成 均勻的幾乎與雷射的波長大小相等之粒徑的結晶。 可以獲得與雷射光的波長大小相等的結晶粒之原因, 被認爲係如日本專利特開平10-2561 52所記載般,以雷射 光的照射,半導體膜熔化、再結晶化後所形成的表面粗糙 ,成爲光散射(光分割)的起點。此表面粗糙可定性理解 爲,基本上係由於固液狀態之密度變化所引起,固化往橫 方向進展,於結晶粒成長時之固化的終點(粒界部)形成 凹凸之現象。並且,如對此半導體膜的粗糙表面再度照射 雷射光的話,於此凹凸部所被散射之散射光彼此相互千涉 ,於膜表面形成駐波。因此,於多數次照射中,於重複此 -6 - (3) (3)1301293 過程中,最終於半導體膜的表面可形成預定週期的凹凸( J· Sipe,J.F. Young, J.S.Perston,and Η.M. van Driel, Phys. Rev.B27, 1141,1155,200 1 ( 1 983 ) ) 〇 然後,將脈衝狀雷射照射於材料時,藉由將雷射對材 料之入射角設爲從垂直線(法線)至Γ以上,可以使結晶 粒的大小變大(例如,專利公開2004-172424 )。如此所 製作的結晶粒,具有能均勻爲與照射的雷射之波長幾乎相 同大小的特徵。 然後,這些方法,爲了使照射次數成爲10〜20次, 需要使線束的進給速度(進給速度=線束寬/照射次數X雷 射的重複頻率)變慢,因此,存在有生產效率低落之技術 性課題。 此係於以往技術中,照射於材料之1個脈衝狀雷射的 脈衝波形,對於材料的熔化、固化,只作用爲單一之脈衝 雷射的關係,無法獲得照射次數之減少效果所引起。 另外,如使激光雷射的振盪器長時間運轉的話,脈衝 能量的平均値會有數%以上的變化。由此變化所造成,最 佳能量値的寬度窄時,照射之能量密度會有從最佳値偏離 之情形,因此,需要頻繁地量測、調整雷射’因此,也有 生產停止、生產性降低之課題。 即材料(P-Si膜)的結晶性與雷射光的能量密度大有 關係,能量密度太低、太高都無法良好地獲得。然後’如 以最佳能量密度來製造的話,可以獲得大約與雷射光2的 波長(又=3 0 8 n m )相等大小的結晶粒。 (4) 1301293 另外,以下將可以獲得前述之與雷射的波長幾乎相等 之大小的結晶粒徑之最佳照射能量密度的寬度稱爲「製程 餘裕」。即於不做成分割雷射的一般之以往方法中,照射 次數20次,製程餘裕値一般爲2〇mJ/cm2,於照射次數10 次以下時,製程餘裕爲零。 [解決課題之手段] ^ 申請專利範圍第1項之發明,係於對薄膜狀的矽製材 料(1 2、1 1 2 )複數次照射脈衝狀雷射來形成結晶粒時, 將脈衝狀雷射予以分割、延遲爲複數的分割雷射,來照射 材料(1 2、1 1 2 )之薄膜材料的結晶化方法,其特徵爲: 藉由複數的分割雷射之重疊所形成的1個脈衝狀雷射 的脈衝波形(2 ),係具有:最大的強度I之極大峰値( 23)、及超過1/2之強度之至少1個極大峰値(22)、及 至少位於1個相鄰之極大峰値(22、23 )之間,且強度降 • 低爲1/2以下之極小點(21 )。 申請專利範圍第2項所記載之發明,係於對薄膜狀的 砂製材料(1 2、1 1 2 )複數次照射脈衝狀雷射來形成結晶 粒時’將脈衝狀雷射予以分割、延遲爲複數的分割雷射, 來照射材料(1 2、1 1 2 )之薄膜材料的結晶化方法,其特 徵爲: 藉由複數的分割雷射之重疊所形成的1個脈衝狀雷射 的脈衝波形(2 ),係至少具有2個預定之強度ία以上之 極大峰値(2 2、2 3 );且具有:強度從使材料(丨2、1 12 -8 -

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a method for crystallizing a film material and an apparatus therefor, and more particularly to irradiating a pulsed laser onto a film-like tantalum material, A method of crystallizing a film material used for the production of a crystallized crucible for a thin film transistor used for a flat panel, and a device thereof. B. [Prior Art] Patent Literatures 1 and 2 disclose that when a film-shaped tantalum material is irradiated with a plurality of pulsed lasers to form crystal grains, one pulsed laser is divided and delayed into a plurality of divided rays. A method and apparatus for irradiating these divided lasers with overlapping lasers. This pulsed laser broadens the time width of the pulse by superimposing a plurality of split lasers. Thereby, the melting of the material by irradiation of one pulsed laser can increase the time for crystallization to progress, and the size of the crystal can be increased. By increasing the crystal grains, Φ can reduce the number of grain boundaries between the source and the drain of the thin film transistor (hereinafter referred to as "TFT"), and the operating speed of the TFT can be increased. [Patent Document 1] Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. Hei. No. Hei. No. Hei. No. Hei. No. Hei. In the case of a crystallized film-like tantalum material to produce a flat panel, it is important that the TFT be operated at a faster speed (2) (2) 1301293. A more important characteristic is that the difference in TFT characteristics of the panel is required to be different. small. For this reason, it is necessary to make the size of the crystal grains uniform. However, in Patent Documents 1 and 2, the consideration of this point is lacking. Of course, when making flat panels, I also hope that the output will be excellent. In order to make the size of the crystal grains uniform, it is necessary to irradiate the square (space) wire bundle formed by the pulse (time) laser at a plurality of times, in particular, 1 to 20 times, at an optimum irradiation energy density. Production. At this time, the repetition frequency of the laser is in the relationship of several hundred Hz, and the pulsed laser is irradiated at intervals of several ms. Therefore, after one pulse of irradiation, the crucible is melted and crystallized, and then cooled to a temperature before irradiation, and pulsed lasers after two pulses are successively irradiated. That is, by means of a homogenizer, the pulsed (time) laser beam is shaped into a square (space) wire bundle, with a feed pitch of 5 to 10% for the a-Si of the film, with an optimum energy density, each Irradiation of 1 〇~2 0 times produces a uniform crystal of a particle size almost equal to the wavelength of the laser. The reason why the crystal grain of the same size as the wavelength of the laser light can be obtained is considered to be a surface formed by melting and recrystallizing the semiconductor film by irradiation of laser light as described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Hei 10-2561 52. Roughness becomes the starting point of light scattering (light segmentation). This surface roughness can be qualitatively understood to be basically caused by a change in the density of the solid-liquid state, and the solidification progresses in the transverse direction, and the end point (grain boundary portion) of the solidification at the time of growth of the crystal grains forms a concavity and convexity. Further, when the rough surface of the semiconductor film is irradiated with the laser light again, the scattered light scattered by the uneven portion interferes with each other to form a standing wave on the surface of the film. Therefore, in the majority of the irradiation, in the process of repeating this -6 - (3) (3) 1301293, a predetermined period of irregularities can be formed on the surface of the semiconductor film (J. Sipe, JF Young, JSPerston, and Η. M. van Driel, Phys. Rev. B27, 1141, 1155, 200 1 ( 1 983 ) ) 〇 Then, when the pulsed laser is irradiated onto the material, the incident angle of the laser is set to be from the vertical line. (Normal) to above, the size of the crystal grains can be made large (for example, Patent Publication No. 2004-172424). The crystal grains thus produced have a feature that they are uniformly uniform in size to the wavelength of the irradiated laser. Then, in order to make the number of times of irradiation 10 to 20 times, it is necessary to slow down the feed rate of the wire harness (feed rate = wire bundle width / number of irradiations X repetition frequency), and therefore, there is a low production efficiency. Technical issues. In the prior art, the pulse waveform of one pulsed laser irradiated on the material causes only a single pulsed laser to melt and solidify the material, and the effect of reducing the number of irradiations cannot be obtained. Further, if the laser laser oscillator is operated for a long period of time, the average enthalpy of the pulse energy may vary by several % or more. As a result of this change, when the width of the optimal energy 窄 is narrow, the energy density of the irradiation will deviate from the optimum enthalpy. Therefore, it is necessary to frequently measure and adjust the laser. Therefore, production is stopped and productivity is lowered. The subject. That is, the crystallinity of the material (P-Si film) is greatly related to the energy density of the laser light, and the energy density is too low and too high to be well obtained. Then, if it is manufactured at an optimum energy density, crystal grains having a size approximately equal to the wavelength of the laser light 2 (again, 3 0 8 n m ) can be obtained. (4) 1301293 In addition, the width of the optimum irradiation energy density of the crystal grain size which is almost equal to the wavelength of the laser described above can be obtained as "process margin".

The invention of claim 9 is based on a film-like tantalum material (1 2, 1 1 2 a plurality of pulsed lasers (20, 102) from a laser oscillator (i, 1 〇丨) In the case of crystal grains, a crystallization device for dividing a pulsed laser into a plurality of divided lasers to irradiate a material of the material (1 2, -10-(7) 1301293 1 1 2 ) is characterized in that : a dividing means for dividing a pulsed laser delay into a plurality of divided lasers; and shaping the intensity distribution of the plurality of divided lasers so that the overlapping illumination is applied to the material (1 2, 1 1 2 ) Means (丨丨〇, n丨), a pulse waveform (2) of i pulsed lasers formed by overlapping of a plurality of divided lasers has a maximum peak 値 (23) having a maximum intensity I, and It has a minimum point (21) of 1/10 or more and 1/2 or less intensity, and after the minimum point (21), there is a maximum peak 超过 of intensity I and IA exceeding 1/2 ( 22, 23). [Effect of the Invention] According to the patent application scopes 1, 4, 5 and 9, the film-like tantalum material is irradiated with a plurality of times by irradiating a pulsed laser (complex pulse) to form crystal grains. The pulse waveform of 1 φ pulsed laser formed by the overlap of the divided lasers has at least two maximum peaks, and at least the maximum peak 至少 is reduced from the maximum intensity I between at least two maximum peaks The minimum point is 1/2 or less. Thereby, the material is melted in the extremely large peak of the maximum intensity I or other extreme peaks, and the material can be crystallized in a very small point between the two extremely large peaks. By the irradiation of the split laser of such a pulsed laser, after the material is melted and crystallized, it is not cooled to the temperature before the irradiation, and immediately after the crystallization, the melting is performed again, and the pulse can be formed. The number of irradiations of the laser is reduced to enable crystallization of crystal grains of a rapid and uniform size. As a result, -11 - (8) 1301293 makes the difference in TFT characteristics of the entire panel small. Then, if the delay time of the split laser is appropriately used and the intensity of the minimum point is 1/2 or less, a process condition capable of imparting an appropriate process margin can be obtained, and the material can be crystallized favorably. Further, as in the case of the third, fourth, fifth, sixth and ninth aspects of the patent application, if the intensity of the minimum point is 1/10 or more, the improvement of the optimum crystallization energy of the pulsed laser can be avoided. φ According to item 2 of the independent patent application, when a film-like tantalum material is irradiated with a pulsed laser light to form crystal grains, a pulse-like mine formed by the overlapping of the lasers irradiated by the material is formed. The pulse waveform of the shot has at least two maximum peaks of a predetermined intensity IA or more, and the intensity is reduced from a maximum peak of melting of the material to a minimum point, so that the material is crystallized and the material is greatly melted. Peak. Thereby, after the material is melted and crystallized by the irradiation of the laser beam by one pulsed laser, it is not cooled to the temperature before the irradiation, and the crystal is φ, and then immediately melted. As a result, the number of irradiations of the pulsed laser can be reduced, and crystallization of crystal grains of a rapid and uniform size can be performed. The number of irradiations of the pulsed laser is as in the seventh item of the patent application, and each material can be set to be less than 1 time. According to the eighth paragraph of the patent application scope, the pulsed laser irradiated on the material is not a linearly polarized laser, and the incident angle of the incident light to the normal of the material is Γ or more, and the output is lowered without using a polarizing plate. The size of the crystal grains becomes large. -12 - (9) 1301293 [Embodiment] Figs. 1 to 7 show an embodiment of a crystallization apparatus for a film material of the present invention. In Fig. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a laser oscillator, specifically, a laser laser (wavelength 308 nm) which emits ultraviolet laser light which is not linearly polarized. The pulsed laser beam 20 emitted from the laser oscillator 1 is divided into two by a half-transmission mirror 221 having a transmittance of 50%, and the first divided laser beam reflected by the semi-transmissive mirror 221 is divided into two. 20a, ^ is incident on the homogenizer 224, and the second divided laser 20b transmitted through the semi-transmissive mirror 221 is transmitted through the delay circuit 223, and then incident on the homogenizer 224 by the total reflection mirror 222. The semi-transmissive mirror 221, the total reflection mirror 222, and the delay circuit 223 constitute a division means for dividing the pulse lasers into a plurality of divided laser beams. The homogenizer 224 is formed in the same manner as the conventional conventional method, and the first and second divided laser beams 20a and 20b are formed into a wire harness, and the film-shaped twisted material 12 is overlapped with the irradiation delay time: T exceeds 0 ns and is less than 100 ns. The first and second divided lasers 20a and 20b of the pulse of the complex number of φ are crystallized. When the first and second divided lasers 20a and 20b acting as the two pulses shown in the second (a) diagram are superimposed and irradiated with an appropriate delay time T, the first and second divided lasers 20a are placed. The pulse waveform 2 superimposed on 20b is as shown in the second (b) diagram. When the intensity of the maximum peak 値 2 3 is 1, the intensity decreases from the maximum peak 値 23 to 1/10 or more and 1/2 or less. The minimum point 21 forms a maximum peak 値22 of more than 1/2 of the intensity IA. This maximum peak 23 is caused by the overlap of the first and second divided lasers 20a and 20b, so that the material 12 can be melted and generated after the minimum point 21. In addition, the pulse wave-13-(10) 1301293-shaped 2 is formed when the intensity of the maximum peak 値2 3 is I, and the crystallization of the material 12 is formed to have one strength of 1/10 or more and 1/2 or less. The minimum point 21, before and after the minimum point 2 1 , forms a maximum point 22/23 which allows the material i 2 to melt more than 1/2 intensity. The number of the maximum points 22, 23 and the minimum points 21 is changed in accordance with the number of divisions of the divided laser beams 20a, 20b. There are a plurality of maximum points 22, 23 and a minimum point 21, and at least one minimum point 21 of crystallization can be obtained at a strength of 1/10 or more '1/2 or less. The strength of 2 makes the material 〗 2 melt the maximum point 2 2, 2 3 can be. The pulsed laser beam 2 emitted from the laser oscillator 1 is divided and delayed as in the first and second divided laser beams 20a and 20b (delay time: T = 0 to 1 0 0 ns ) After the plural, the laser beam of the pulse waveform 2 which is superimposed is irradiated onto the material 12, and the number of times of irradiation of the pulsed laser 20 is reduced to make the size of the crystal grain uniform, and the pulse time is simply made wide. In the case of the reduction of the number of times of irradiation, there is no effect, and it is known that only the first and second divided lasers 20a and 20b of the Lu table 2 (a) are given predetermined conditions, even if the number of times of irradiation is made By reducing, uniform and large crystals can also be obtained. In other words, in order to reduce the number of irradiations, the size of the crystal grains is made uniform, and when one pulsed laser beam 20 is divided and delayed into a plurality of numbers, and the material 12 is irradiated with a laser beam, the laser pulse waveform 2 is irradiated. It is required that the maximum peak 値 23 of the strength I at which the material 12 is melted, and at least one minimum point 2 1 which can reduce the strength of crystallization of the material 12 to less than 1/2, and the melting of the material 12 can be exceeded. At least 1 maximum peak 値 22 of 1/2 intensity. That is, the -14-(11) 1301293 pulse waveform 2 system may have a minimum point 21 at least between one adjacent maximum peaks 22, 2 3, and one material 12 is present before and after the minimum point 21 The maximum peak of melting is 22, 23. However, the maximum peak 値23 is one of the maximum peaks and is the maximum peak of the maximum intensity I. Therefore, the pulse waveform 2 of one pulsed laser irradiated to the material 12 has at least two materials. 12 melting intensity IA above the maximum peaks 22, 23, the minimum point 21 is located between the two adjacent extreme peaks 22, 23, as long as the intensity is reduced from the maximum peak 値 22 melting the material 12 to the material 1 2 The minimum point of crystallization is 2 1, after the material 〗 2 is crystallized, the material 12 is again allowed to produce the maximum peak 熔化23 of melting. When a pulsed laser 20 is divided and delayed to a complex number and the laser beam is superimposed on the material 12, the pulse waveform 2 of the laser is obtained when the intensity of the maximum peak 値 2 3 is When the maximum peak 値 22 exceeding the intensity of I / 2 is generated, the intensity is reduced to a minimum point 21 of 1/2 or less, and thereafter, a maximum peak 値 23 (maximum peak 値 23) can be generated. The maximum peak 値 22 having an intensity exceeding 1/2, and the minimum point 2 1 whose intensity is reduced to 1/2 or less, and the maximum peak 値 23 (the maximum peak 超过 23 exceeding the intensity of 1/2) will be The pulse waveform 2 of the laser is referred to as a first pulse waveform. Then, in the method of forming a crystal grain by a plurality of times of irradiation (multiple pulse irradiation) of the pulsed laser 20 on the film-like ruthenium material 12, a laser having a first pulse waveform is irradiated onto the material 12 to make a material of the film. In the case of crystallization, even if the number of the pulsed lasers 20 irradiated from the laser oscillator 1 is reduced, uniform crystals can be obtained. As a result, the difference in the size of the crystal grains becomes small, and the difference in the TFT characteristics of the entire panel -15-(12) 1301293 becomes small. Explain the growth process of crystallization. It is considered that the growth of crystals is such that the crystal grains generated by the first irradiation are combined by the second and subsequent irradiations. In the growth of the crystal, it is necessary to irradiate the laser again, and the material 12 is heated and solidified, i.e., crystallized, to a temperature near the melting temperature to be melted and recrystallized. If the energy density of the laser is optimal, the crystal grains will grow, and crystal grains having a size almost equal to the wavelength g of the laser can be obtained. The optimum energy density for melting and recrystallization of the material 12 is obtained in the case where the pulse waveform 2 has the first pulse waveform, in addition to the case of the single pulsed laser 20. In the case where the pulse waveform 2 has the first pulse waveform, the tantalum material 12 is melted in the vicinity of the first peak 22, and the material 12 starts to crystallize near the minimum point 21 whose intensity is reduced to 1/2 or less. 2 peak 値 23 injection 'material 12 is melted again and crystallized. In this way, by dividing the laser φ and applying heat to the start of crystallization of the material 12, it is considered that a pulsed laser having a pulse waveform composed of only one peak which is not a conventional laser beam can be obtained. The same effect is obtained in the case where the irradiation is performed twice in a sufficient time. In order to confirm this effect, one pulsed laser beam 20 formed by a half width = 25 ns is divided as shown in the second (a) diagram, and the i-th and second-divided laser beams 20a and 20b are obtained and shaped into The wire harness is a delay time: the first and second divided laser beams 20a and 20b of two pulses of T = 0 to 100 ns are superimposed and irradiated on the film-shaped tantalum material 1 2 to be crystallized. As shown in the figure -16-(13) 1301293 2 (a), the widths of the first and second divided lasers of the delay time τ and the half widths of 20b are W. The pulse waveform in which the first and second divided laser beams 20a and 20b are superimposed is as shown in the second (b) diagram, and the intensity at the maximum peak 値 23 is I, and the intensity is reduced from the maximum peak 値 23 by 1/10 or more. At a point 21 of 1/2 or less, the maximum peak 値 22 of the intensity IA exceeding 1/2 is one. This peak 23 is generated by the overlap of the first and second divided lasers 20a and 20b and the minimum point 2 1 . Then, the irradiation time I of the pair of pulsed lasers 20 formed by the first and second divided lasers 20a and 20b (pulse 2) is measured, and the process margin is 20 times, and 2 The optimal crystallization energy density at the time of splitting the laser 20a and 20b is calculated, and the fourth and fifth results are obtained. The minimum point 21 is such that the delay time T becomes longer, and becomes smaller when T = 30 ns, and becomes 1/10 when T = 50 ns. As will be described later, it is preferable to set the half width W = 25 ns to be smaller than the delay φ and set the delay time T = 30 to 50 ns. In addition, the pulse energy of the pulse shot 20: 670 mJ, the repetition frequency: 300 Hz, the fourth number of irradiations (10 times, 20 times) is the irradiation of the pulsed laser 20 | According to Fig. 4, Fig. 5 'in general In the conventional method (delay T = 0 ns), there is no process condition (zero is zero) in the number of times of irradiation. If the delay time of the split laser 20 a, 2 0 b is longer, the positive process margin from the delay time T = 20 ns or more is set to the delay time T = 30 ns or more (the intensity of the minimum point is 1/2 or less). Appropriate process conditions (appropriate process margin) can be obtained. Therefore, 20a 2, when, the minimum is the largest, and the wave is ^ 10 to be plotted, and the T-like thunder is caused by the delay. , , the intensity of the -17- (14) 1301293 minimum point 21, that is, the minimum 値 is set to 1/2 or less. However, as can be understood from Fig. 5, when the delay time T = 5 ns or more (the intensity of the minimum point is 1/1 0 or less), the optimum crystallization energy starts to rise sharply, and the intensity of the minimum point 21 is set to 1/10. the above. As shown in Fig. 4, the minimum processing time is less than 1/2 (the number of irradiations is 10 times, about 20 mJ/cm2, and the number of irradiations is 20 times, about 40 mJ/cm2), which is not the same as the above. In the conventional method, the process margin p (zero number of irradiations is zero, and the number of irradiations is 20 times, about 20 mJ/cm 2 ) is improved. The material 12 made of a tantalum film crystallized by the number of times of irradiation in FIG. 4 was observed by SEM (scanning electron microscope), and the size of crystal grains in one field of view was measured to be 90% or more of crystal grains. When the laser wavelength is 308 nm ± 30 nm, the process conditions are used to observe the allowable width (process margin) of the irradiation energy density at which the process conditions can be obtained. As a result, the number of times of irradiation: the process margin of about 10 times (about 20 mJ/cm 2 ) is almost the same as that of the conventional method of φ-dividing lasers, and the number of times of irradiation is 20 times. Crystal particles of almost the same size are obtained. In this way, by setting the intensity of the minimum point to 1/2 or less, it is known that the effect of reducing the number of times of irradiation is obtained, and then the integer N - 3 is formed, and the maximum peak 制作 is made N+1, which satisfies 1/2~ The minimum number of 1/10 is N, and the effect is confirmed by experiment. The pulse waveform 3 of one pulsed laser formed by the overlap of the N + 1 divided lasers is as shown in Fig. 3 'as the starting point of the irradiation -18-(15) 1301293 3〇 The first maximum peak 値4 1 between the first minimum point 3 i , the second maximum peak 値 42 between the first minimum point 3 1 and the second minimum point 32 , the (N-1 )th smallest point 37 and the Nth The Nth maximum peak 値48 between the minimum point 38 and the Nth (N + 1 ) maximum peak 间49 between the Nth smallest point and the end point of the irradiation 50 have a total of N for crystallization of the material 112. The minimum point and the (n + 1) maximal peaks that cause the material 1 1 2 to melt. Then, the crystallization method is a crystallization method in which the intensity of the ηth minimum point is the ηη/ΐο or more and Ιη/2 or less, or the η minimum. The intensity of the point is the crystallization method of the intensity η +1 of the η + 1 maximum peak 之后 after the η + 1 , and is the intensity of the range of In / ίο or more and Ι η / 2 or less. For the material 1 1 2, by 1 The pulsed laser can be melted, crystallized, melted, and crystallized at least sequentially, so that the number of irradiations can be reduced. However, η is an integer ranging from 1 to Ν. For this purpose, the semi-transmission mirrors 103, 104, φ 1〇5, and one full are used in the plural (three on the figure) shown in Figures 7(A), ( Β ), and ( C ). The mirror 106 divides one pulsed laser 102 emitted from the oscillator 101, and forms a complex number of times with a delay time T = 30 ns (the intensity of the minimum point 値 1/2) (four in the figure) The adjacent divided lasers 120a, 120b, 120c, and 120d pass all of the divided lasers 120a, 120b, 120c, and 120d into the common homogenizer 110. Therefore, the delay circuits 107, 108, and 109 are disposed between the respective half mirrors 103 to 105 and the total reflection mirror 106. Thereby, a pulse waveform having a maximum peak N of N+1 and a minimum of N is shown in Fig. 3. The semi-transmissive mirrors 103 to 105, the total reflection mirror 106, and the delay circuits 107 to -19-(16) 1301293 1 09 constitute a divided laser 120a, 120b for delaying the pulsed lasers 102 into plural numbers. , 120c, 120d segmentation means. The intensity In and iη + ι of the two maximum peaks adjacent to the pulse waveform 3 shown in Fig. 3 can be melted by the material 1 1 2 as long as the intensity of the intensity In 2 is less than the minimum point therebetween. There is a maximum peak of maximum intensity among the maximum peaks of the complex intensity In. Actually, by changing the number of the semi-transmissive mirrors 103 to 105 and the delay circuits 1〇7 | to 1 09, a pulse waveform having a maximum peak number of 1 to 7 is irradiated onto the film-shaped tantalum material 1 2, The relationship between the number of peaks of 5, 10, 15 and 20 times of the pulsed laser irradiation and the process margin was measured. The result is shown in Fig. 6. According to Fig. 6, if the maximum number of peaks (and the number of minimum points) is increased, the process margin is expanded, and even if the number of times of irradiation is 5, if the number of peaks is 3 or more, it is known. Good process conditions can be obtained. This number of illuminations is the number of pulsed lasers 102. The number of times the pulsed laser of each material 12 is irradiated can be sufficiently less than 1 〇 φ times. [Embodiment] A first embodiment will be specifically described with reference to Fig. 7. The pulsed laser 102 of the pulse waveform emitted by the XeCl laser laser oscillator 101 with a pulse energy of 670 mJ and a repetition frequency of 300 Hz is provided by four mirrors 1 having reflectances of R1, R2, R3, and R4. 〇3, 104, 105, 106 are divided and converted by direction, and the adjacent circuits are separated by delay circuits 107, 108, 1〇9 -20-(17) 1301293 provided between the mirrors 103, 104, 105, and 106. The lasers 120a to 120d are time-delayed with each other, and are sequentially injected into the long-axis homogenizer 1 10, and shaped into a long axis by a known means: a spatial intensity distribution of a rectangular wave of 200 mm length, and a film irradiated on the glass of the material 12 A-Si film II2 having a thickness of 50 nm. The reflectance of the mirror 103 is R1, the reflectance of the mirror 104 is R2, the reflectance of the mirror 105 is R3, and the reflectance of the total reflection mirror 106 is R4 = 100%. At this time, the aforementioned reflectance is set to: Rl=25%, R2=33.3%, R3=50%, R4=l〇〇%, to obtain a pulse waveform which is a maximum peak, and the intensity can be generated in a period of 30 ns to generate the third of four. Figure 3 of the waveform. The laser laser emits a non-linearly polarized light in the ultraviolet region where the absorption of the a-Si film 12 is high, and a pulsed light (wavelength 3 0 8 nm) can be obtained. In addition, each delay circuit 107, 108, The 109 series includes a total number of total reflection mirrors required to generate an optical path difference, and the total reflection mirrors are used to set a time difference between the divided lasers 120a to 120d. In order to perform an individual delay time: a delay of 30 ns, a light path of 9 m is set. . In the direction orthogonal to the long axis of the pulsed laser 1 〇 2, a short-axis homogenizer 1 1 1 as shown in Fig. 7 (C) is set, and a space of a rectangular wave having a short axis width of 0.4 mm is shaped. The intensity distribution is irradiated to the material 1 12 by the incident angle α = 5 ° of the incident light to the normal of the material 1 1 2 . Further, the a-Si film 112 on the glass is placed on a stage (not shown) and scanned at a speed of V (mm/s) in the short-axis direction. Then, according to V = 0.4 · 300 / Z, set V = 24, 12, 8, 6 mm / s, to make the number of irradiations at one of the a - S i films 1 1 2: Z = 5, 10, 15, 20 times. The homogenizers 110 and 111 constitute a shaping means for shaping the intensity distribution of a plurality of -21 - (18) l3 〇 1293 divided lasers so as to be superimposed on the material 1 1 2 . The material 112 of the crystallized ruthenium film after the irradiation of the pulsed laser 102 is observed by SEM (scanning electron microscope), and the size of the crystal grains in one field of view is measured, and 90% or more of the crystal grains are used. When the laser wavelength is 308 nm ± 30 nm, the process conditions are used to measure the allowable width (process margin) of the irradiation energy density at which the process conditions can be obtained. As a result, the number of times of the illuminating: 5, 10, 15, and 20 times is as shown in Fig. 6 as the maximum peak number 4, about 20, 40, 60, 100 mJ/cm2, even in the past. The number of times the process is not feasible: 5 times or less, can also be obtained as a condition of the process. By setting the incident angle α of the pulsed laser 102 (divided laser 120 a to 120d) to the material 1 1 2 to be equal to or greater than the vertical line (normal), the crystal grain ratio can be made to the laser 1 The wavelength of 02 is larger. Therefore, the incident angle α of the incident ray to the normal of the material 1 1 2 is set to be Γ or more. Further, the laser I repetition frequency is a relationship of several hundred Hz, and the pulsed laser 102 is irradiated at intervals of several ms. Therefore, by irradiation of a pulsed laser of a plurality of pulses, ruthenium (material 1 1 2 ) is repeatedly melted and cooled and crystallized, and the wavelength of the laser beam to be irradiated is almost the same or more uniform, so that crystallization can be performed. The difference in the size of the particles becomes smaller. When one pulsed laser beam 102 is irradiated as a plurality of divided lasers 120a to 120d, it is considered that a pulse of a plurality of pulses corresponding to the number of divisions can be obtained by one pulsed laser beam 102. The same effect as a laser. In addition, as described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-172424, a pulsed laser 〇2 of a -22-(19) 1301293 material 1 1 2 is irradiated, such as a non-linearly polarized laser, which can be used without a polarizing plate. If the incident angle of the incident light to the normal of the material is Γ or more, the crystal grain may be equal to the wavelength of the laser beam 2 by repeated irradiation of the pulsed laser 102 or It is larger than the wavelength of the laser. A laser laser is a random polarized light that does not have a specific polarized light. By setting the incident angle of the incident light to the normal of the material to be Γ or more, a large crystal grain can be obtained.
