ABSTRACTSynchrotron x-ray pulses have been used to make nanosecond resolution time-resolved x-ray diffraction measurements on silicon during pulsed laser annealing. Thermal expansion analysis of near-surface strains during annealing has provided depth dependent temperature profiles indicating >1100°C temperatures and diffraction from boron implanted silicon has shown evidence for near-surface melting. These results are in qualitative agreement with the thermal melting model of laser annealing.

ABSTRACTWe report on the growth and redistribution of Au clusters caused by nanosecond laser interaction of Aux(TeO2 )1−x thin films with intense excimer laser radiation. This laser-induced phenomenon is studied in a time-resolved manner using transient reflectivity and transmissivity techniques. Structural and compositional changes are investigated using Rutherford Backscattering, XPS depth profiling, x-ray diffraction and conductivity measurements. Our studies indicate that melting of the binary structure initializes segregation, growth and coalescence of Au crystallites in the amorphous TeO2 matrix.

ABSTRACTFrom reported equilibrium partial and total dissociation pressure data for GaAs and melt times derived from reported time resolved reflectivity experiments, estimates have been made of the anticipated rate of As loss. Good agreement was found with experimentally determined As loss. A similar approach using experimentally determined Ga loss data allowed estimates of the maximum temperatures reached during pulsed laser annealing. These temperatures are considerably higher than suggested in thermal modelling studies. The boiling point of Ga gould be exceeded at incident laser energies >0.8 J cm−2.

Phase-change optical storage uses a focused laser to locally switch a chalcogenide film between the crystalline and amorphous states. Data bits are stored as amorphous spots in a crystal matrix. They can be erased by laser annealing, but applications require fast crystallization during the erase. The crystallization kinetics are not well understood. A recent study of germanium telluride (GeTe) used time-resolved optical measurements and TEM to show that crystallization in Ge48Te52 films is dominated by the 2-D growth of crystallites in the film plane. Current work relates the complex crystallite morphology to the operative transformation kinetics.
