METHOD OF MANUFACTURING IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE USING SEMICONDUCTOR THIN FILM DEVICE

摘要

In an MIS field effect transistor having a gate electrode (18) formed on a first semiconductor layer which is a polycrystalline silicon film on an insulating substrate (100) through a gate insulating film (17), a channel region (12) formed in the semiconductor layer and a source region (20) and a drain region (19) arranged on both sides of the channel region (12), a thin film semiconductor device has a main orientation of at least the channel region of ä110ü with respect to the surface of the gate insulating film. Further, a polycrystalline semiconductor film having a main orientation of the surface almost perpendicular to a direction for connecting the source (20) and drain (19) regions of ä100ü is preferably used in the channel (12) of a semiconductor device. According to the present invention, a semiconductor device having a high-quality polycrystalline semiconductor film whose grain boundary, grain size and crystal orientation can be controlled and whose film roughness and crystal defects formed by crystallization have been reduced can be obtained on the insulating substrate (100).
