Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor includes the steps of: forming a first semiconductor film on a substrate having an insulating surface; applying an energy to the first semiconductor film to crystallize the first semiconductor film; patterning the first semiconductor film to form a region that forms a seed crystal; etching the seed crystal to selectively leave a predetermined crystal face in the seed crystal; covering the seed crystal to form a second semiconductor film; and applying an energy to the second semiconductor film to conduct a crystal growth from the seed crystal in the second semiconductor film.
