性能が向上し、大容量化が可能になる。In recent years, as the capacity of display devices such as ELDs and LCDs has increased, active matrix drive systems in which each cell is driven by TPT have been studied. In this method, in addition to the TPT provided for each cell,
Drivers are required to drive the electrode lines, but it is desirable from a cost standpoint that these are integrated into an IC on a glass substrate together with the TPT. The larger the mutual conductance gm of this driver is and the faster it operates, the better the performance of the display device and the larger the capacity.

る方法も検討されている。The mobility of polycrystalline silicon deposited by the commonly used low-pressure CVD method is extremely low, on the order of several c+*'/Vsec, which is two orders of magnitude lower than that of single-crystal silicon.
The reason why the mobility of polycrystalline silicon deposited by the VD method is two orders of magnitude lower than that of single crystal silicon 1+IiI↓ I~+/
/ I + -, ) It is thought that this is due to the formation of In order to solve these problems, a hydrogen plasma treatment method is being considered that eliminates the potential barrier by terminating dangling bonds with hydrogen ions, but
A mobility of only about 27Vsec was obtained.On the other hand, polycrystalline silicon im is melted and recrystallized by irradiating it with an electron beam or a laser beam to create a single crystal film with large crystal grain size or almost no grain boundaries. Methods to obtain this are also being considered.
次に、第2図を用いて、従来の多結晶シリコンの再結晶
化法の例を説明する。Next, an example of a conventional method for recrystallizing polycrystalline silicon will be explained using FIG.

ものである。Polycrystalline silicon layer 2 provided in an island shape on a glass substrate 201
05 is a cap J made of an insulating film such as silicon dioxide or silicon nitride! It is covered with f206, and a beam on the spot is scanned and irradiated with a 0wAr laser or a pulse mode YAG laser from above. In this case, the cap layer 206 is provided to prevent evaporation of molten silicon.
高エネルギーのビームで照射すると、多結晶シリコンが
溶融するために、ガラス基板201との界面付近の温度
はシリコンの溶融点(〜1400°C)近くになる。こ
のためガラス基板201としては石英ガラスのごとき高
融点ガラスに制限される。When irradiated with a high-energy beam, the polycrystalline silicon melts, so the temperature near the interface with the glass substrate 201 becomes close to the melting point of silicon (~1400° C.). Therefore, the glass substrate 201 is limited to high melting point glasses such as quartz glass.
また石英ガラスは熱伝導率が低いので、多結晶シリコン
層205の結晶粒子の成長に不適当な(エツジ部より中
央部の温度が高い)熱分布ができ、結晶性のよい膜が形
成されにくい。Furthermore, since silica glass has low thermal conductivity, there is an inappropriate heat distribution for the growth of crystal grains in the polycrystalline silicon layer 205 (temperature is higher at the center than at the edges), making it difficult to form a film with good crystallinity. .
第3図は、従来の多結晶シリコン再結晶化法の第2例を

石英ガラスに制限される。This second example is a simpler method than the first example, and uses a method of directly irradiating the polycrystalline silicon layer 305 on the quartz substrate 301 with a beam to melt and recrystallize it. In this case as well, since the temperature near the interface of the glass substrate 301 reaches a high temperature as in the first example, the glass substrate 301 is limited to quartz glass.

9, and is characterized by increasing the crystal grain size of the polycrystalline silicon layer formed by low pressure CVD. In this third example of the polycrystalline silicon recrystallization method, an insulating film 402 and a high thermal conductive layer film 403 are laminated on a glass substrate.
Furthermore, a cap layer consisting of an insulating layer 404, a polycrystalline silicon layer 405, and an insulating layer 406 covering the polycrystalline silicon layer is successively stacked on the high thermal conductivity layer in an island shape, and a high-energy beam is emitted from above the cap layer. It is irradiating.

結晶シリコンは容易に得られ難かった。Although this method obtains a polycrystalline layer film with a larger crystal grain size than a polycrystalline layer formed by low-pressure CVD, the heat sink material 403 is formed over a wider area than the polycrystalline silicon layer 405, so that high-energy beams cannot be used. The heat generated at the periphery and center of the high polycrystalline silicon layer 405 during irradiation is as high as a heat wave.
It conducts to the heat sink material 403 through 404 . For this reason, the edge heat sink effect in which the center of the polycrystalline zircon layer is lowered is not performed efficiently, making it difficult to easily obtain single-crystal silicon with almost no grain boundaries for driving TFTs in high-definition, high-gradation flat panel display devices.

When integrated with a display device such as an LD or LCD, the price of the display device increases. Furthermore, as the displayed price increases, the price of the board will take up a larger proportion. In the conventional method, it was impossible to use inexpensive glass (for example, Corning 7059) due to thermal distortion caused by high-temperature processing, so the display device had to be expensive. Furthermore, since the temperature distribution when recrystallizing the polycrystalline silicon provided in an island shape is inappropriate for the growth of crystal grains (high temperature in the center), it is difficult to easily form a film with good crystallinity.

The object of the present invention is to provide an efficient method for recrystallization.

リコン層を単結晶化することを特徴とする。The polycrystalline silicon recrystallization method of the present invention includes forming a first insulating film on a glass substrate, further forming a highly thermally conductive layer on the first insulating layer, patterning the highly thermally conductive layer, and further forming the highly thermally conductive layer on the first insulating layer. a second insulating layer, a polycrystalline silicon layer covers the second insulating layer, a third insulating cap layer covers the polycrystalline silicon layer, and a third insulating film is formed on the polycrystalline silicon layer. The method is characterized in that the polycrystalline silicon layer is made into a single crystal by irradiating the polycrystalline silicon layer with an energy beam.

A highly thermally conductive insulating film such as the following is formed on the highly thermally conductive layer and patterned.

Therefore, the temperature of the polycrystalline silicon layer when it is irradiated with a high-energy beam is near its melting point, but the temperature of the glass substrate under the silicon dioxide film can be adjusted by appropriately selecting the thickness of the silicon dioxide film. This means that it can be set sufficiently low,
With a thermal strain point of about 600'C (for example, Corning M70
59) Glass can now be used as a substrate. Furthermore, by providing the high thermal conductive film and the high thermal conductive layer edge film not on the entire surface of the substrate but in the center area, which is narrower than the island-shaped polycrystalline layer, when irradiated with a laser beam, the central part of the polycrystalline silicon belly temperature becomes lower than the surrounding area,
Single crystal silicon grows.

により高品質の単結晶化膜が得られる。This highly thermally conductive layer 103 is patterned into a band shape as shown in FIG. Furthermore, the band-shaped high thermal conductivity N103 and the insulating film 10
1, an insulating film 10 having high thermal conductivity such as aluminum nitride.
4 is formed and patterned to cover the highly thermally conductive layer 103. Polycrystalline silicon 1 on the one-color frame film 104
05 is formed into an island shape. Insulation I! 104 is a high thermal conductor when the polycrystalline silicon 105 is heated, a chemical reaction occurs between the polycrystalline silicon layer 103 and the polycrystalline silicon layer 105, and impurities are mixed into the polycrystalline silicon layer, resulting in partial deterioration of the film quality. It is provided to prevent this. As the VA edge film 104, a thin film that conducts heat well or a curved secondary island-shaped polycrystalline silicon J'il 05 is covered with a cap layer 106 made of a silicon dioxide film, a silicon nitride film, or a multilayer film thereof. From above, cwAr laser and pulsed mode YA
Irradiate with G laser beam. Then, the polycrystalline silicon layer 105 is melted, and the applied thermal energy first passes through the insulating film 104 and then through the high thermal conductivity layer 103. At this time, since the high thermal conductivity layer is located in the center of the island-shaped silicon layer, the heat of the silicon in the center is dissipated first than in the periphery, so the temperature of the center is lower than that of the periphery of the polycrystalline silicon layer.
A high-quality single-crystalline film can be obtained because the so-called push heating effect occurs efficiently.

Heat conduction to the underlying glass substrate 101 is largely blocked.
