The nucleation site and solidification direction of polycrystalline silicon were controlled by excimer laser crystallization. The sidewall and the top of the amorphous silicon island, which includes a gradually narrowing region, were covered with a thick layer of polycrystalline silicon, and single-shot irradiation was performed from the back surface. The formation of only one nucleus was observed in a gradually narrowing region of width two times that of the lateral growth distance. Solidification from the nucleus toward a narrower width region was then effected in a region 2 µm in width and 3 µm in length. The growth mechanism is explained on the basis of the temperature gradient formed by the covering of the polycrystalline silicon and the gradually narrowing structure.
