Which outcome occurs when a laser annealing process cools polycrystalline silicon too rapidly?

💡 Explanation

Rapid cooling causes increased crystal defects because the atoms lack sufficient time for proper reordering during the recrystallization process, therefore defect formation increases, rather than grain uniformity, because grain growth is kinetically limited.
