Abstract: Disclosed are a polycrystalline silicon and a crystallization method thereof according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The polycrystalline silicon comprises: an insulating substrate; and an optical portion formed on the insulating substrate for receiving a CW laser beam and varying the intensity of the beam in order of strength-weakness, strength-weakness, and strength-weakness on one dimension, so that an amorphous silicon thin film is crystallized. Therefore, the present invention can form a good polycrystalline silicon thin film by growing crystal grains with a constant direction and size, when an amorphous silicon thin film disposed on an insulating film such as a glass substrate is crystallized to a polycrystalline silicon thin film.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for fabricating a reverse-staggered polycrystalline silicon thin film transistor, and more specifically a method for fabricating a reverse-staggered polycrystalline silicon thin film transistor wherein a phosphosilicate-spin-on-glass (P-SOG) is used for a gate insulating film. The method comprises the steps of: forming a buffer layer on an insulating substrate; forming a gate metal pattern on the buffer layer; forming a planarized gate insulating film on the gate metal pattern; depositing an amorphous silicon layer on the gate insulating film; crystallizing the amorphous silicon layer into a polycrystalline silicon layer; forming a n+ or p+ layer on the polycrystalline silicon layer; forming a source/drain metal layer on the n+ or p+ layer; and forming a passivation layer on the source/drain metal layer.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method for forming a silicon thin-film on a substrate, and more particularly a method for forming a polycrystalline silicon thin-film of good quality on a flexible metal substrate. A metal substrate (110) is prepared and a surface of the metal substrate (110) is flattened. An insulation film (120) is formed on the metal substrate (110). An amorphous silicon layer (130) is formed on the insulation film (120). A metal layer (140) is formed on the amorphous silicon layer (130). A sample on the metal substrate (110) is heated and crystallized.
