There is provided a semiconductor manufacturing method capable of sufficiently reducing catalytic element in a crystalline silicon film and also increasing the area of the crystalline silicon film to be left on the substrate. A catalytic element for accelerating the crystallization is introduced into an amorphous silicon film on a substrate, and a first heat treatment is performed to crystallize the amorphous silicon film into a crystalline silicon film. A mask layer is provided on the surface of the crystalline silicon film, the mask layer having an opening passing thicknesswise through the mask layer. Further thereon, a sacrifice film is formed so as to continuously cover the surface of the mask layer and an opening-correspondent portion of the crystalline silicon film. A getter element for gettering the catalytic element is introduced into the sacrifice film and the opening-correspondent portion of the crystalline silicon film. A second heat treatment is performed, by which the catalytic element is gettered from the crystalline silicon film to the sacrifice film through the opening.
