A method for fabricating a semiconductor device including an active region obtained by utilizing a silicon semiconductor film having crystallinity which is formed on an insulating substrate is disclosed. A crystalline silicon semiconductor film is obtained by introducing catalyst elements for promoting the crystallization into a lower amorphous silicon semiconductor film and then performing a heat treatment onto the lower amorphous silicon semiconductor film. Thereafter, an upper amorphous silicon semiconductor film is formed on the obtained lower crystalline silicon semiconductor film, which is subsequently subjected to a heat treatment so as to obtain an upper crystalline silicon semiconductor film. Then, the upper crystalline silicon semiconductor film is removed. By this process, the catalyst elements remaining in the lower crystalline silicon semiconductor film moves into the upper crystalline silicon semiconductor film. As a result, a concentration of the catalyst elements in the lower crystalline silicon semiconductor film is reduced.

摘要:
A manufacturing method of a semiconductor device includes the steps of depositing a metallic film (light-shielding film), an insulating film and a semiconductor film in this order on an insulating substrate, and after patterning the insulating film and the semiconductor film in a predetermined shape, oxidizing an exposed region of the metallic film using the insulating film and the semiconductor film as a mask. As a result, the light-shielding film composed of the metallic film is formed so as to cover the semiconductor film to block light from an external portion. The manufacturing method permits a process of forming a resist pattern for use in forming the light-shielding film and a process of etching the light-shielding film to be omitted, thereby reducing the required number of processes. Moreover, as a level difference is not generated around the light-shielding film, a generation of a level difference on the semiconductor film can be prevented. Furthermore, as the light-shielding film can be formed completely overlapped with the semiconductor film, a reduction in a display region of the semiconductor device can be avoided, thereby improving an aperture ratio.
