Crystalline semiconductor film and production method thereof, and semiconductor device and production method thereof

摘要

A crystalline semiconductor film, the crystalline semiconductor film being formed over an insulative substrate, and including semiconductor crystal grains laterally grown along a surface of the insulative substrate, wherein the laterally-grown semiconductor crystal grains are in contact with each other at grain boundaries, and a distance between adjacent grain boundaries is equal to or smaller than two times a lateral growth distance of the semiconductor crystal grains.
