Abstract: A liquid resin material stored in a resin material cup is sent to a supply tank under pressure through a primary side supply pipe by increasing the pressure in a pressure tank. The supply tank is provided with a piston that is displaced in accordance with the amount of the resin material in the supply tank, and the resin material is quantified by the stroke of the piston. The quantified resin material is sent to a heating member through an evaporation side supply pipe, is evaporated by heating, and condenses on a substrate. The resin material is quantified by filling the supply tank with the resin material temporarily, and only the filling resin material is sent to the heating member. Therefore, an evaporation amount becomes constant, and as a result, the thickness of a resin thin film is stabilized.

Abstract: In a polycrystalline silicon thin film transistor, a semiconductor device having a high field effect mobility is achieved by increasing a grain size of a silicon thin film. First, an insulation layer having a two-layer structure is formed on a transparent insulated substrate 201. In the insulation layer, a lower insulation layer 202, which is in contact with the transparent insulating substrate 201, is made to have a higher thermal conductivity than an upper insulation layer 203. Thereafter, the upper insulation layer 203is patterned so that a plurality of stripes are formed thereon. Subsequently, an amorphous silicon thin film 204 is formed on the patterned insulation layer, and the insulation layer is irradiated with a laser light scanning in a direction parallel to the stripe pattern on the upper insulation layer 203. Thus, the amorphous silicon thin film 203 is formed into a polycrystalline silicon thin film 210.
