Abstract
A semiconductor thin film is formed by depositing an amorphous silicon thin film and heat-treating the deposited amorphous silicon thin film. The amorphous silicon thin film is formed by a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process while a dopant impurity is introduced, the film being not thicker than 50 nanometers. In the reaction gases used, the ratio (D/S) between the numbers S and D of atoms of silicon and dopant impurity in reaction gases is as large as 0.05.about.0.2. The polycrystalline silicon thin film thus formed is with reduced electrical resistivities.
