abstract = {Rapid thermal annealing by, e.g., laser scanning of
hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) films is of interest
for device improvement and for development of new device
structures for solar cell and large area display
application. For well controlled annealing of such
multilayers, precise knowledge of temperature and/or
hydrogen diffusion length in the heated material is required
but unavailable so far. In this study, we explore the use of
deuterium (D) and hydrogen (H) interdiffusion during laser
scanning (employing a continuous wave laser at 532 nm
wavelength) to characterize both quantities. The evaluation
of temperature from hydrogen diffusion data requires
knowledge of the high temperature (T > 500 °C)
deuterium-hydrogen (D-H) interdiffusion Arrhenius parameters
for which, however, no experimental data exist. Using data
based on recent model considerations, we find for laser
scanning of single films on glass substrates a broad scale
agreement with experimental temperature data obtained by
measuring the silicon melting point and with calculated data
using a physical model as well as published work. Since D-H
interdiffusion measures hydrogen diffusion length and
temperature within the silicon films by a memory effect, the
method is capable of determining both quantities precisely
also in multilayer structures, as is demonstrated for films
underneath metal contacts. Several applications are
discussed. Employing literature data of laser-induced
temperature rise, laser scanning is used to measure the H
diffusion coefficient at T > 500 °C in a-Si:H. The
model-based high temperature hydrogen diffusion parameters
are confirmed with important implications for the
understanding of hydrogen diffusion in the amorphous silicon
