Crystallographic orientation- and location-controlled Si single grains on an amorphous substrate for large area electronics

Preferred <100> Surface and In-Plane Orientations in Self-Assembled Poly-Si by Multiple Excimer Laser Irradiation

Clear preference of <100>- orientation in self-assembled poly- Si is observed for the first time not only in surface, but also in-plane orientations. This textured poly-Si can be used for TFT active channel, expecting a high performance with an excellent uniformity; or can be used as a seed layer for orientation controlling.

(100)-textured self-assembled square-shaped polycrystalline silicon grains by multiple shot excimer laser crystallization

Strong preference for (100) surface and in-plane orientations has been observed in polycrystalline silicon film on SiO2 after crystallization with multiple excimer laser pulses. Laser induced periodic surface structure (LIPSS) is developed in the film, constructing self-assembled square-shaped grains. The clear texture can be observed in a...

Error Resilient Video Compression Using Behavior Models

Wireless and Internet video applications are inherently subjected to bit errors and packet errors, respectively. This is especially so if constraints on the end-to-end compression and transmission latencies are imposed. Therefore, it is necessary to develop methods to optimize the video compression parameters and the rate allocation of these...
