コン単結晶基板を結晶得るに至っていない。In recent years, as the density of semiconductor integrated circuits has increased, in addition to improving the degree of integration in one direction by reducing the size of each element in semiconductor integrated circuits, it is also becoming necessary to add an insulating film over the element structure once formed. A so-called three-dimensional structure in which a device is formed over the entire surface, a semiconductor thin film is provided on the insulating film, and an element is formed using this semiconductor thin film is being actively researched. In particular, a method of irradiating a polycrystalline silicon film formed on an insulating film with a laser beam to recrystallize it to form a single crystal or increase the crystal grain size is attracting attention. Furthermore, as the speed of semiconductor integrated circuits increases, it has become an important issue to reduce the parasitic capacitance formed between each element or wiring portion of the semiconductor integrated circuit and the semiconductor substrate. Compared to the already commonly used pn junction isolation, parasitic capacitance can be reduced by forming a semiconductor film on an insulating film and forming an integrated circuit there.
In this sense as well, recrystallization technology using a laser beam, ie, laser annealing technology, is attracting attention. In particular, when an insulating film is formed on the surface of a silicon substrate, a part of it is etched away to form an opening, and then a polycrystalline silicon film is formed on the entire surface, and a sample is laser annealed. I have not yet been able to obtain any crystals.

する半導体装置額造は困難である。As explained above, one of the reasons why the crystallinity of the silicon film formed on the insulating film and crystallized by the conventional laser annealing method is not good is that the polycrystalline silicon film on the insulating film is not coated with a pulsed laser beam. When annealing is performed by irradiating silicon, single crystallization progresses from the edge of the window where the silicon single crystal and polycrystalline silicon film come into contact with each other. In order to avoid this drawback, the above two sensors are formed in parallel, and a polycrystalline silicon film on the insulating film is formed in a band shape between them. Efforts have been made to utilize crystallization.In this case, single crystallization progresses from both sides, but the crystallinity is still poor near the center line of the polycrystalline silicon film on the strip-shaped insulating film, and There are drawbacks such as a protrusion remaining on the surface of the central portion, which makes it difficult to frame a semiconductor device with good characteristics.

薄膜の製造方法が得られる。An object of the present invention is to form a polycrystalline semiconductor film on the insulating film and the single crystal semiconductor layer around it so that a high quality single crystal silicon thin film can be formed over a sufficiently wide area on the insulating film, and then An amorphous semiconductor film or an insulating film of the same type as the polycrystalline semiconductor film is formed on a portion of each of the island-shaped insulating films via the polycrystalline semiconductor film and a portion of the single-crystalline semiconductor layer connected thereto. Then, a laser beam having a beam width larger than the width of the island-shaped insulating film is irradiated onto the island-shaped insulating film and the polycrystalline semiconductor film around the island-shaped insulating film so that the polycrystalline semiconductor film is included within the beam width. A method for manufacturing a thin film is obtained.

けられている側からの単結晶化はほとんど進行しない。FIGS. 1 to 3 are diagrams for explaining one embodiment of the present invention, and sequentially show schematic cross-sectional views of main steps in forming a semiconductor thin film on an insulating film. First, a silicon oxide film 2 is formed on the surface of a single crystal silicon substrate 1 by thermal oxidation or the like, and unnecessary portions of this silicon oxide film 2 are removed to form a band-like structure (FIG. 1). Next, on the band-shaped silicon oxide film 2, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is applied.
Pour I) Eposition) An unnecessary portion of the silicon oxide film 4 is removed so that only a portion remains on the band-shaped silicon oxide film 2. The sample thus obtained is irradiated with a pulsed Nd:YAG laser beam 5. At this time, the width of the laser beam 5 is made wider than the width of the band-shaped silicon oxide film 2, and the width of the laser beam 5 is set to be wider than the width of the band-shaped silicon oxide film 2. Of these, the entire portion located on the band-shaped silicon oxide film 2 is irradiated at once. The main point here is that although the Nd:YA-0 laser beam (wavelength 1.06 μm) is mostly transmitted through the silicon oxide film 4, due to the well-known multiple reflection phenomenon, the As shown, the intensity of the transmitted laser beam changes depending on the thickness of the silicon oxide film 4. Therefore, when the laser beam is irradiated, the temperature distribution of the polysilicon-3 on the band-shaped silicon oxide film 2 is not symmetrical, and the silicon oxide film
1 is provided, the temperature is higher than that at a position where it is not provided, and the temperature distribution becomes asymmetric even in the cooling process after the laser beam irradiation is completed. As a result, the polysilicon "11" once melted by the laser beam irradiation progresses over almost the entire surface, and single crystallization from the side where the silicon oxide film 4 is provided hardly progresses.
このようにして、酸化シリコン膜4を設けない従来の方
法にくらべ中央部に突起あるいは結晶欠陥のない良質の
単結晶薄膜を広い面積にわたり、得ることができる。In this way, compared to the conventional method in which the silicon oxide film 4 is not provided, a high-quality single crystal thin film without protrusions or crystal defects in the center can be obtained over a wider area.

対称性をもたらすことができる。In the above explanation, an oxide arsenic film was used as a thin film that has the effect of changing the effective transmitted laser light intensity, but it may be a silicon nitride film or any other transparent film. On the other hand, any thin film that has the effect of changing the actual operating IW of laser light due to multiple reflections or the like may be used. Alternatively, the above-mentioned asymmetry in temperature distribution can be achieved by using a thin film, such as an amorphous silicon film, whose laser light absorption efficiency is higher than that of a polysilicon film.
