が図れることから盛んに研究開発が行なわれている。Ex) Conventional technology A method in which single-crystal Si scrap is formed on an insulating layer (including an insulating substrate) is called SoI (Silicon on 1O).
It is known as a structure that allows easy isolation of elements in a narrow area and allows for high integration and high speed. Research and development are being actively conducted on semiconductor integrated circuits (ICs), which have improved characteristics compared to conventional semiconductor integrated circuits (ICs) in which elements are fabricated on a Si substrate.

を単結晶化させるものである。There is an in-phase epitaxial growth method to form a single crystal 5ill on an insulating layer.This method involves forming an insulating film on a single crystal S1 substrate by exposing a part of the St substrate surface as a seed, and forming a layer between the seed and the insulating layer. to amorphous Si (hereinafter a)
-Si) is deposited and annealed at a low temperature of about 600° C. to cause solid-phase growth in the lateral direction, thereby converting the a-Si film into a single crystal.

ると、シードの結晶方位を継承しない粒界が発生して横
方向のエピタキシャル成長距離が伸びず、小面積のエピ
タキシャル領域しか得られなかった。Some methods use laser for annealing in solid-phase epitaxial growth, but if a large area is irradiated and annealed at once, grain boundaries that do not inherit the crystal orientation of the seed are generated, and the lateral epitaxial growth distance does not increase, resulting in a small area. Only an epitaxial region of 100% was obtained.

のエピタキシャル領域を得てい゛る。Therefore, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 62-257718, annealing is first performed on a small area including the sea P as the laser irradiation area, and then the irradiation area is expanded to the peripheral part of the small area and annealing is performed. There is. That is, epitaxial growth is performed by annealing each small region from a seed to obtain a large epitaxial region.

しまう。C) Problem to be solved by the invention Annealing in solid phase epitaxial growth is a-S 1
Since the state of solid phase growth differs depending on the quality of the JIII film, the annealing is performed with a certain margin of time in order to ensure solid phase growth. Therefore, in the method described above, in which the region to be epitaxially grown is divided into small regions and the annealed region is enlarged by successive laser irradiation, it is necessary to allow time for each small region to be annealed, which is unnecessary. This requires a lot of time, and annealing takes a lot of time.

くなり２効率的なアニール処理が行われる。g) Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above description, the present invention detects Raman scattered light to determine whether a=SiJIK in the energy beam irradiation area for solid phase growth has become a single crystal due to solid phase growth. Once it has been determined and made into a single crystal, the irradiation area is changed. Therefore, solid-phase growth can be performed sequentially from the seed portion, and epitaxial growth that inherits the crystal orientation of the seed portion can be performed over a wide range. Furthermore, since the area irradiated with the energy beam is annealed for just the right amount of time, the annealing time is not wasted and an efficient annealing process is performed.
