A light absorption layer is formed over a substrate, the light absorption layer is selectively irradiated with a laser beam, and a region of the light absorption layer, which is irradiated with the laser beam, is removed. By adding an impurity element imparting one conductivity type or an inert element to a remaining part of the light absorption layer, a tensile stress of the light absorption layer is made lower than that before irradiation with the laser beam.
