Perimeter crystallization of amorphous silicon around a germanium seed

An a-Si crystallization phenomenon that originates from the perimeter of a germanium seed during anneal at 500°C is reported. The perimeter crystallization is reasonably uniform and reaches 500 nm after a 60 h anneal at 500°C. Transmission electron microscopy shows that the crystallized material is...
