Abstract
A method for fabricating a semiconductor device including an active region obtained by utilizing a silicon semiconductor film having crystallinity which is formed on an insulating substrate is disclosed A crystalline silicon semiconductor film is obtained by introducing catalyst elements for promoting the crystallization into a lower amorphous silicon semiconductor film and then performing a heat treatment onto the lower amorphous silicon semiconductor film Thereafter, an upper amorphous silicon semiconductor film is formed on the obtained lower crystalline silicon semiconductor film, which is subsequently subjected to a heat treatment so as to obtain an upper crystalline silicon semiconductor film Then, the upper crystalline silicon semiconductor film is removed By this process, the catalyst elements remaining in the lower crystalline silicon semiconductor film moves into the upper crystalline silicon semiconductor film As a result, a concentration of the catalyst elements in the lower crystalline silicon semiconductor film is reduced

Method for producing semiconductor device

Abstract: In producing a thin film transistor, after an amorphous silicon film is formed on a substrate, a nickel silicide layer is formed by spin coating with a solution (nickel acetate solution) containing nickel as the metal element which accelerates (promotes) the crystallization of silicon and by heat treating. The nickel silicide layer is selectively patterned to form island-like nickel silicide layer. The amorphous silicon film is patterned. A laser light is irradiated while moving the laser, so that crystal growth occurs from the region in which the nickel silicide layer is formed and a region equivalent to a single crystal (a monodomain region) is obtained.
