Femtosecond laser treatments (second harmonic of Ti-sapphire laser, λ ≈ 400 nm wavelength, <30 fs pulse duration) were applied for crystallization of thin hydrogenated amorphous silicon films on glass substrates. The concentration of atomic hydrogen in the films was varied from 10 to ≈35\%. The energy densities (laser fluences) for crystallization of the films with thicknesses from 20 to 130 nm were found. Assumedly, non-thermal processes (plasma annealing) take place in phase transition caused ultra-fast pulses. The developed approach can be used for creation of polycrystalline silicon films on non-refractory substrates.
