ABSTRACT:
Generation of new crystal defects in a monocrystalline semiconductor layer caused by heat treatment, oxidation treatment or polishing treatment is prevented in a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device of an SOI structure. Thus, unevenness in the properties of active devices formed on the monocrystalline semiconductor layers and their malfunctions can be restrained. A non-monocrystalline semiconductor layer formed on an insulator layer is melted to have a prescribed temperature distribution, and monocrystallized. The region of the obtained monocrystalline semiconductor layer corresponding to a high temperature portion in melting is selectively removed before the monocrystalline semiconductor layer is subjected to heat-treatment. Active devices are formed on the resultant island shaped monocrystalline semiconductor layers. The surface of the island shaped monocrystalline semiconductor layer may be polished to be planarized before the formation of the active device.
