We investigated the effects of oxygen in amorphous silicon (a-Si) and polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) thin films using excimer laser annealing (ELA). The dehydrogenation process prior to ELA was performed in air and N2 ambient, which was the method controlled oxygen content in a-Si thin films. We observed that the thin film of oxygen controlled process had lower oxygen concentration and oxidized...
