Abstract

Since the first time-resolved Raman studies of pulsed laser annealing (PLA)effects in Si, a number of cw Raman studies have been performed whichprovide a much improved basis for understanding the consequences on Ramanspectra of temperature-dependent resonance effects, high carrier densityeffects, phonon anharmonicity, and strain effects. Here we briefly reviewthese effects and then analyze the latest pulsed Raman studies of PLAincluding Stokes/anti-Stokes ratios, the shift and shape of the first orderline, and time-resolved second-order spectra. The Raman data indicate theexistence of a Raman-silent phase followed by a rapidly cooling solid whichbegins within 300 K of the normal melting temperature of Si. The Raman dataalso give evidence of carrier densities in the recrystallizing solid of ~1−2×l019/cm3 .

25. The effects on Raman spectra of compressive stress resulting from laser heating have been discussed by Lo, H. W. and Compaan, A. [J. Appl. Phys. 1565 (1980)] and analyzed in detail by Jellison, G. E., Wood, Jr. and R. F. [Mat. Res. Symp. Proc. 23, 153 (1984)]. We find the stress-induced phonon frequency shifts to be approximately ¼ as large as calculated by Jellison and Wood. The difference probably arises from a numerical error in the original stress experiments of Anastassakis, et al. [Anastassakis, E., Pinczuk, A., Burstein, E., Pollak, F. H., and Cardona, M., Sol. St. Commun. 8, 133 (1970)].Google Scholar
