Abstract
A method of fabricating a polysilicon film by an excimer laser annealing process is introduced. First, an amorphous silicon film is deposited on a substrate composed of glass. The amorphous silicon film includes a first region, which is located in the center, with a first thickness, and a second region, which is located in the periphery, with a slant sidewall. The thickness of the amorphous silicon film is measured so as to obtain the profile of the sidewall in the second region. According to the profile of the sidewall, a pre-cursor region is determined for performing an excimer laser annealing process wherein a second thickness in the boundary of the pre-curser regionis smaller than the first thickness so as to increase area of produced polysilicon film.
