Abstract: There is provided a method of crystallizing amorphous silicones, which includes: forming a stacked structure of a second amorphous silicon film followed by a first amorphous silicon film on an underlay film, the second amorphous silicon film having a faster crystal growth rate than the first amorphous silicon film; and performing a crystallization treatment on the stacked structure to crystallize silicones contained in at least the second amorphous silicon film.

Abstract: A method for crystallizing a group IV semiconductor to form group IV semiconductor crystals on a process surface of a workpiece on which a process is performed, includes forming an additive-containing group IV semiconductor film on the process surface of the workpiece by supplying a group IV semiconductor precursor gas serving as a precursor of the group IV semiconductor and an additive gas which lowers a melting point of the group IV semiconductor and which includes an additive whose segregation coefficient is smaller than “1”, liquefying the additive-containing group IV semiconductor film, and solidifying the liquefied additive-containing group IV semiconductor film from the side of the process surface of the workpiece to form the group IV semiconductor crystals.
