N2 - We have investigated the dependence of the melting and crystal growth rates on the crystal orientations at solid/liquid (s/l) silicon (Si) interfaces by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. It was found that there was no appreciable difference in the melting rates in all crystal orientations, though the growth rate at Si(001)/l-Si was the largest in all crystal orientations. We have also performed MD simulations of intensity-modulated excimer laser annealing (IMELA) of Si thin films. These results suggest that (001) surface-oriented Si can be obtained by IMELA owing to the largest growth rate at Si(001)/l-Si of all in the repetitions of crystallization and melting.
