Impact of AFM-induced nano-pits in a-Si:H films on silicon crystal growth

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Conductive tips in atomic force microscopy (AFM) can be used to localize field-enhanced metal-induced solid-phase crystallization (FE-MISPC) of amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) at room temperature down to nanoscale dimensions. In this article, the authors show that suc...
