Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Large-grained poly-Si thin films are needed for the fabrication of high-performance thin film transistors (TFTs). We have proposed a method to form large-grained poly-Si thin films using nanocrystalline Ge nuclei on glass substrates. Ge nuclei are fabricated by a combination of the solid-phase crystallization (SPC) of a-Ge and the oxygen etching for controlling their size and density. Using this method, a remarkable reduction of crystallization time for a-Si films has been achieved. In this study, we have investigated the crystallization process of a-Si films with Ge nuclei using Raman spectroscopy. It was found that the activation energy for crystallization varies depending on the deposition method of a-Si films. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and thermal desorption spectroscopy (TDS) measurements revealed that the crystallization is accelerated when a-Si layer contains a large number of Si-H bonds.
