Abstract

We have proposed a new excimer-laser crystallization system based on an optical projection concept. In the proposed system, a collimated excimer-laser light pulse is irradiated to Si thin-films on a glassy substrate, through a phase-shift mask and an optical lens system. Using oneand two-dimensional phase-shift masks, we have examined feasibility of the proposed method.
