Abstract
A process for preparing a polycrystalline semiconductor thin film transistor wherein a non-singlecrystalline semiconductor formed on a transparent insulating substrate is annealed by laser beams, such process comprising forming a gate insulation layer and a gate electrode on the non-singlecrystalline semiconductor; implanting impurity ions into a source-drain region of the semiconductor wherein the gate electrode is used as a mask, and irradiating laser beams from the rear surface side of the transparent insulating substrate to thereby polycrystallize the non-singlecrystalline semiconductor under the gate electrode or improve the crystallinity of the semiconductor without causing the non-singlecrystalline semiconductor in a completely molten state.
