A novel layer transfer and simultaneous crystallization of amorphous silicon (a-Si) films induced by near-infrared semiconductor-diode-laser (SDL) irradiation has been investigated. The a-Si films supported by narrow quartz columns on a starting quartz substrate and a counter substrate [glass and poly(ethylene terephthalate)] were in face-to-face contact, and an SDL irradiated the a-Si films with midair structure. After SDL irradiation, the Si films were completely transferred and crystallized simultaneously on the counter substrates. In-situ monitoring revealed that the layer transfer took place either in the solid phase or the liquid phase followed by phase transformation in the cooling period. High performance polycrystalline Si thin-film transistors were successfully fabricated on the transferred Si films, which showed a high on/off ratio of more than 105 and a field-effect mobility as high as 268 cm2 V-1 s-1.
