Abstract

See full text

Disclosed are a method manufacturing a crystalline semiconductor material capable of improving the crystallinity and a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device using the same. An amorphous film made of silicon (Si) is formed on a substrate with a protective film inbetween. Then, a short-wavelength energy beam is irradiated to the amorphous film as a first heat treatment, thereby forming a crystalline film made of quasi-single crystal. Subsequently, another short-wavelength energy beam is irradiated to the crystalline film as a second heat treatment in order to selectively fuse and re-crystallize only the grain boundary of the crystalline film and the neighboring region. As a result, a crystalline film with excellent crystallinity can be obtained.
