ABSTRACT:
To provide a semiconductor device having a function equivalent to that of IGFET, an activation layer is formed by a crystal silicon film crystallized by using a catalyst element helping promote crystallization and a heating treatment is carried out in an atmosphere including a halogen element by which the catalyst element is removed, the activation layer processed by such steps is constituted by a peculiar crystal structure and according to the crystal structure, a rate of incommensurate bonds in respect of all of bonds at grain boundaries is 5% or less (preferably, 3% or less).
