Abstract
A method for producing a polycrystalline semiconductor film is disclosed. The method includes the steps of: forming a semiconductor film on a substrate; forming a passivation film on the semiconductor film; exciting a mixed gas including hydrogen and at least one element selected from the group consisting of the III, IV, and V groups of the periodic table to generate hydrogen ions and ions of the at least one element; and implanting the hydrogen ions into the semiconductor film through the passivation film and simultaneously implanting the ions of the at least one element into the semiconductor film through the passivation film, thereby changing the semiconductor film into a polycrystalline semiconductor film having the at least one element.
