    Abstract: A method of crystallizing a silicon layer. An amorphous silicon layer is formed on a buffer layer on a substrate. A catalyst metal layer is formed on the amorphous silicon layer to have a density of from about 1011 to about 1015 atom/cm2. A crystalline seed having a pyramid shape is formed on an interface between the amorphous silicon layer and the buffer layer as a catalyst metal of the catalyst metal layer diffuses into the amorphous silicon layer. The amorphous silicon layer is thermal-treated so that a polysilicon layer is formed as a silicon crystal grows by the crystallization seed.
