  • Publication number: 20060183303
    Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a crystallized semiconductor device of the present invention, a thermal diffusion layer (1) having higher thermal conductivity than that of a substrate (4) is formed on a surface of a semiconductor layer (2), and then laser light is applied to the semiconductor layer (2) from above the thermal diffusion layer (1). As a result, it becomes possible to manufacture the crystallized semiconductor device in which a crystal is longer than that of a conventional arrangement. According to the present invention, it is possible to provide the crystallized semiconductor device having the semiconductor layer in which the size of the crystal grain is larger than that of the conventional arrangement.

  • Publication number: 20060154456
    Abstract: A fabrication method of a crystallized semiconductor thin film is such that: by performing pulse irradiation of energy beams in a minute slit shape to a semiconductor thin film (5), the semiconductor thin film (5) of an region to which the energy beams are irradiated is fused and solidified over the whole area in a thickness direction so as to be crystallized, a main beam (6) and a sub beam (7), having smaller energy per unit area than that of the main beam (6), which adjoins the main beam (6), being irradiated to the semiconductor thin film (5).
