After a catalyst element is introduced into an amorphous silicon film, the amorphous silicon film is converted into a crystalline silicon film by a heat treatment and laser irradiation. After a resist mask is formed on the crystalline silicon film, boron and phosphorus are selectively introduced into the crystalline silicon film to form a gettering region therein. Then, a heat treatment is performed at 500°-650° C., whereby the catalyst element in a gettering subject region is gettered to the gettering region. As a result, a crystalline semiconductor film is obtained in which the catalyst element concentration is reduced. The crystalline semiconductor film is patterned into a semiconductor layer of a semiconductor device.
