ABSTRACT:
There is provided the method of manufacturing a polycrystalline semiconductor thin film, in which an amorphous semiconductor thin film is formed on an insulating substrate, and the amorphous semiconductor thin film is transformed into a polycrystalline semiconductor thin film. In this method, an energy beam is irradiated onto a predetermined region of the amorphous semiconductor thin film via a mask prepared by forming energy beam transmitting regions on a transparent plate as a plurality of patterns, and the region on which the energy beam is irradiated is changed so as to move the predetermined region on the amorphous semiconductor thin film in order.
