完成させる。Next, annealing is performed at a temperature of 500 to 600° C. to cause solid phase growth of the amorphous silicon film 3 and crystallize it. As a result, as shown in FIG. 2C, a polycrystalline silicon film 4 whose crystal grain size is larger than that of the polycrystalline silicon film 2 is formed. Next, as shown in FIG. 2D, a predetermined portion of this polycrystalline silicon film 4 is removed by etching to obtain a predetermined shape, and then the entire surface is etched by CVD at about 400°C.
An iO□ film 5 is deposited, and then, for example, a Mo film 6 is deposited by sputtering.

中の不純物の活性化率の均一性が悪い。Polycrystalline silicon TPT by the conventional low temperature process mentioned above
The manufacturing method has the following drawbacks. That is,
Since annealing for solid-phase growth of amorphous silicon film 3 and annealing for electrically activating impurities for forming source region 9 and drain region 10 must be performed separately, the manufacturing process is simplified. It's not convenient. Furthermore, some of the impurities ion-implanted into the polycrystalline silicon film 4 are present at grain boundaries in the polycrystalline silicon film 4;
Since impurities present in the grain boundaries are difficult to be electrically activated even by annealing, the activation rate of impurities is low overall. Furthermore, when impurity ions are implanted into the polycrystalline silicon film 4, it is inevitable that channeling of the implanted impurities will occur to some extent.
The activation rate of impurities inside is not uniform.

After this,
Similar to Figure 2G, SiO as a passivation film
□ Film 11 and electrodes 12 and 13 are formed to complete the desired n-channel polycrystalline silicon TPT.

化率は従来に比べて均一である。According to the embodiment described above, the solid phase growth of the amorphous silicon film 3 and the activation of impurities for forming the source region 9 and drain region 10 are performed simultaneously in a single annealing process.
Compared to the conventional manufacturing method shown in FIGS. 2A to 2G, one annealing step can be omitted, thereby simplifying the manufacturing process. Furthermore, during the above-mentioned annealing, the implanted impurities are activated at the same time as the solid-phase growth of the amorphous silicon film 3, so the activation rate of the impurities in the source region 9 and drain region 10 formed by the annealing is It is more uniform than before.

粒界の面積が従来に比べて小さくなるので、この分だけ
不純物の活性化率を高くすることが可能である。Furthermore, during the solid phase growth of the amorphous silicon film 3 by the above-mentioned annealing, nucleation tends to occur first from the P ion-implanted part of the amorphous silicon film 3 (this nucleus becomes a microcrystal). As it grows and further grows into larger grains,
The size of the crystal grains in the source region 9 and drain region 10 can be made larger than in the prior art. Therefore, since the area of the grain boundaries is smaller than in the conventional case, it is possible to increase the activation rate of impurities by this amount.

度が従来に比べて大きいTPTを得ることができる。In addition, since crystal growth proceeds in a direction parallel to the surface of the amorphous silicon film 3 using the above-mentioned minute crystal as a seed crystal, the crystals in the polycrystalline silicon film 4 obtained by the above-mentioned solid phase growth The size of the grains is particularly larger in the channel region 4a (see FIG. 1C) where a channel is formed during TPT operation compared to the conventional one. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a TPT in which the carrier mobility is greater than that in the prior art.

Channeling of implanted impurities hardly occurs. Therefore, the distribution of the implanted impurities becomes more uniform than in the past, and this also makes it possible for the source region 9 and drain region 10 to
The activation rate of impurities therein can be made more uniform than in the past.
