Abstract

Implanted Zn impurities were found to segregate at the interface between ion-implanted amorphous Si and underlying crystal Si after pulsed laser irradiation with energy densities less than that required to cause liquid phase epitaxial regrowth. Both time-resolved reflectivity from the back and front sides indicate a strong correlation between the internal Zn impurity segregation and explosive crystallization. This measurement also gives a direct evidence of coexistence of a liquid Si and polycrystalline nuclei at the surface layer at energy densities from 0.27 to 0.5 J/cm2.
