Provided are a method of fabricating a polycrystalline silicon thin film using high temperature heat generated by Joule heating induced by application of an electrical field to a conductive layer, which can ensure process stability at high temperature and thus processing time can be reduced and a polycrystalline silicon thin film having excellent crystallinity can be obtained, a polycrystalline thin film using the method and a thin film transistor including the polycrystalline thin film. The method includes providing a substrate, forming a metal or metal alloy layer having a melting point of 13000 C or more on the substrate, forming an insulating layer on the metal or metal alloy layer, forming an amorphous silicon (a-Si) thin film, an amorphous/polycrystalline composite silicon thin film, or a poly-Si thin film on the insulating layer, and applying an electrical filed to the metal or metal alloy layer to induce Joule heating and generate high temperature heat, and crystallizing and annealing the amorphous silicon (a-Si) thin film, the amorphous/polycrystalline composite silicon thin film, or the poly-Si thin film using the high temperature heat. |
