- FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram of the heat treatment method of the present invention.
- the principle of operation is that, for example, a glass substrate is used as the substrate 0 0 1, and a material layer 0 0 2 to be processed is formed thereon.
- An example of the material layer to be processed is silicon.
- a heat transfer layer 0 0 3 is formed thereon.
- Heat transfer layer material An example is S i O 2.
- a carbon film or a film containing carbon is formed as a thin film heating element 0 04 on the heat transfer layer of Si 0 2.
- pulse energy is locally applied to the carbon film or the carbon-containing film as a thin film heating element to generate heat.
- the material to be treated is heated by the generated heat.
- the thickness of the heat transfer layer 0 3 should be 10 nm or more, and if it is 10 0 ⁇ or less, the heat quickly propagates through the heat transfer layer 0 3 and heats the material to be processed 0 0 2 can do.
- the carbon layer as a thin film heating element or the layer containing carbon is heated by combining the heat transfer layer of 100 / zm or less and the material to be heated.
- the thickness of the carbon layer or carbon-containing layer of the thin film heating element is large, the amount of heat required to heat the carbon layer or the carbon-containing layer itself to a high temperature is required, and the material to be heated is heated. The total amount of heat required to do so increases and heating efficiency deteriorates. Therefore, the thickness of the carbon layer, which is a thin-film heating element, or the layer containing carbon is preferably about 100 / m or less in order to sufficiently exert the heating effect.

By irradiating the heat generation layer 0 0 4 with the laser light 0 0 5, the heat generation layer 0 4 4 absorbs the laser light and is converted into heat energy. The generated heat is transferred to the material to be processed 0 0 2 through the heat transfer layer 0 0 3. If only this preparative-out area of the irradiation light to 10- 1 0 cm 2 or more 10 2 cm 2, Ru can and this heat treatment is performed at an energy of small pulse light.

- FIG. 4 shows an example in which the heat treatment of the present invention using pulsed laser light is applied to heat crystallization of a silicon film.
- a 25 nm amorphous silicon film 0 02 as a material to be processed was formed on a glass substrate 0 1, and a 5 nm Si02 film 0 3 was formed thereon as a heat transfer layer.

- Fig. 5 shows an example of a sample made of silicon film only.
- Fig. 6 is a graph showing the laser energy dependence of the crystallization rate of the silicon film when the carbon layer is irradiated with laser and when the silicon film is directly irradiated with laser. From Fig. 6, it can be seen that when the laser is irradiated on the carbon layer, a higher crystallization rate is obtained than when the silicon film is directly irradiated with the laser, and the bonding is performed with a small energy of 200 mJ / cm 2. It can be seen that a crystallization ratio of 0.8 was obtained.
- the light reflectivity of carbon at a laser wavelength of 308 nm is 15%, which is small compared to the light reflectivity of 55% of the silicon film.
- the carbon film absorbs laser light efficiently, and the underlying silicon film The silicon film is highly heated when heated to a higher temperature. This can also be understood from the fact that the crystallization rate is high.

- the above treatment can be applied to heat crystallization of a silicon film.
- FIG. 8 is an example of a heating method applying the method of FIG. 7, and is an example suitable for performing local heating.
- a glass substrate is used as the substrate 0 0 1, and a Si 0 2 film is formed as a heat transfer layer 0 0 3 on the silicon film that is the material layer 0 0 2 formed on the glass substrate.
- a carbon film or a film containing carbon is formed on the thin film heat generating layer 0 4.
- Electrodes 0 0 6 and 0 0 7 are formed to supply current. By making the electrode 06 very small, the current density in the vicinity of the electrode 06 becomes very large. Therefore, a large Joule heat density is generated, and efficient heating is possible with relatively little input energy.
- a 25 nm thick amorphous amorphous silicon film was formed on a glass substrate 0 0 1 as a silicon film of the material to be processed 0 2.
- a 5 nm Si02 heat transfer layer 0 3 was formed thereon.
