Abstract

The annealing behavior of In+-implanted amorphous Si layers is reviewed. Particular attention is given to the amorphous to polycrystalline transformation for peak In concentrations > 0.5 atomic percent. New data concerning the transformation rate, associated In transport and microstructure are presented and phase transformation mechanisms are discussed.
