By adding a novel improvement to the technique disclosed in JP 8-78329 A, a manufacturing method in which film characteristics of a semiconductor film having a crystalline structure are improved is provided. In addition, a TFT having superior TFT characteristics, such as field effect mobility, which uses the semiconductor film as an active layer, and a method of manufacturing the TFT, are also provided. A metallic element which promotes the crystallization of silicon is added to a semiconductor film having an amorphous structure and an oxygen concentration within the film of less than 5×1018/cm3. The semiconductor film having an amorphous structure is then heat-treated, forming a semiconductor film having a crystalline structure. Subsequently, an oxide film on the surface is removed. Oxygen is introduced to the semiconductor film having a crystalline structure, and processing is performed such that the concentration of oxygen within the film is from 5×1018/cm3 to 1×1021/cm3. After removing an oxide film on the surface of the semiconductor film, the semiconductor film surface is leveled by irradiating laser light under an inert gas atmosphere or in a vacuum.

A gate insulating film, a semiconductor film, an impurity semiconductor film, and a conductive film are stacked in this order, covering the gate electrode. A source electrode and a drain electrode are formed by processing the conductive film. A source region, a drain region, and a semiconductor layer, an upper part of a portion of which does not overlap with the source region and the drain region is removed, are formed by processing the upper part of the semiconductor film, while the impurity semiconductor film is divided.

As a display device has a higher definition, the number of pixels, gate lines, and signal lines are increased. When the number of the gate lines and the signal lines are increased, a problem of higher manufacturing cost, because it is difficult to mount an IC chip including a driver circuit for driving of the gate and signal lines by bonding or the like. A pixel portion and a driver circuit for driving the pixel portion are provided over the same substrate, and at least part of the driver circuit includes a thin film transistor using an oxide semiconductor interposed between gate electrodes provided above and below the oxide semiconductor. Therefore, when the pixel portion and the driver portion are provided over the same substrate, manufacturing cost can be reduced.

A channel protective layer is provided between the oxide semiconductor and a gate electrode provided over the oxide semiconductor. The pixel portion and the driver circuit are provided on the same substrate, which leads to reduction of manufacturing cost.

摘要:
The present invention is characterized in that by laser beam being slantly incident to the convex lens, an aberration such as astigmatism or the like is occurred, and the shape of the laser beam is made linear on the irradiation surface or in its neighborhood. Since the present invention has a very simple configuration, the optical adjustment is easier, and the device becomes compact in size. Furthermore, since the beam is slantly incident with respect to the irradiated body, the return beam can be prevented.
