ABSTRACT:
A catalyst element for accelerating crystallization is added to an amorphous silicon film containing an impurity element for threshold voltage control, and a heat treatment is then performed to obtain a crystalline silicon film. Thereafter, the catalyst element is gettered by performing a heat treatment in an atmosphere containing a halogen element. In this step, a chemical equilibrium state is established for the impurity element for threshold voltage control by mixing a compound gas containing the impurity element into the atmosphere, thereby preventing the impurity element from escaping into the vapor phase.
