Seed-induced crystallization of polycrystalline germanium thin films at low temperature

A recrystallization technology that is required for implementing Ge devices in the semiconductor back-end-of-line (BEOL) processing at temperatures below 450 °C is presented. A new seed-induced crystallization (SIC) is applied to the fabrication of polycrystalline Ge (poly-Ge) thin films at 400 °C....
