    摘要: While a storage region 15 has of many dispersed particulates (dots) (15a), the surface density of the particulates (15a) is set to be higher than that of structural holes (pin holes) produced in a tunnel insulating film (14a), or the number of the particulates (15a) in the storage region (15) is set to five or more. While a conduction region (13c) is formed by a polysilicon layer (13) having a surface roughness of 0.1 nm to 100 nm, the number of the particulates (15a) in the storage region (15) is set to be larger than the number of crystal grains in the conduction region (13c). Even when a defect such as a pin hole occurs in the tunnel insulating film (14a) and charges stored in a part of the particulates are leaked, the charges stored in the particulates formed in a region where no defect occurs are not leaked. Thus, information can be held for a long time.

    摘要: A method is provided for forming a semiconductor thin film which is free from damage to the film with radiation of a pulse laser beam with the optimum energy value for perfect polycrystallization. For forming an amorphous silicon thin film, a surface of a plastic substrate as a base and insulating layers are each radiated with a pulse laser beam for removing volatile contaminants like a resist as a pretreatment. Damage to the film caused by a gas emitted from the base substrate and the insulating layers resulting from volatile contaminants is thus prevented. A protective layer including a gas barrier layer and a refractory buffer layer is formed on the substrate. Gas penetration from the substrate to the amorphous silicon film is thereby prevented. Conduction of heat produced by energy beam radiation to the substrate is prevented as well. It is possible to increase energy intensity of energy beam radiated for polycrystallization of the amorphous silicon film to the optimal value for perfect polycrystallization.

    摘要: To enable radiating an optimum energy beam depending upon the structure of a substrate (whether a metallic film is formed or not) when an amorphous semiconductor film is crystallized and uniformly crystallizing the overall film, first, a photoresist film and the area of an N+ doped amorphous silicon film on the photoresist film are selectively removed by a lift-off method. Hereby, the amorphous silicon film is thicker in an area except an area over a metallic film (a gate electrode) than in the area over the metallic film. In this state, a laser beam is radiated. The N+ doped amorphous silicon film and an amorphous silicon film are melted by radiating a laser beam and afterward, melted areas are crystallized by cooling them to room temperature. As the amorphous silicon film is thicker in the area except the area under which the metallic film (the gate electrode) is formed than in the area under which the metallic film is formed, the maximum temperature of the surface of the film is equal and the overall film can be uniformly crystallized.

    摘要: A polycrystalline silicon layer is formed on a substrate. An insulating layer and a gate electrode are formed on the polycrystalline silicon layer. Then, a channel region, a source region and a drain region are formed in a self-aligned manner by doping an impurity in the polycrystalline silicon layer using the gate electrode as a mask. Then, an energy absorption layer is formed so as to cover the entire substrate and a pulsed laser beam is irradiated from the energy absorption layer side. The energy of the pulsed laser beam is almost completely absorbed in the energy absorption layer and a heat treatment is indirectly performed on the underlying layers by radiating the heat. In other words, activation of the impurity and removal of defects in the insulating layer are performed at the same time without damaging the substrate by the heat.
