Abstract
A mold of crystalline silicon having a textured surface is placed on an amorphous silicon film so that projecting portions of the textured surface are in contact with a surface of the silicon film. The amorphous silicon film is then heated for crystallizing the same by solid phase epitaxy, thereby forming a crystalline silicon film having a textured surface corresponding to that of the mold.
