Abstract
A crystal silicon film deposited on an insulating film made of a binary system material or a binary system semiconductor film formed by an atomic layer deposition method has a grain as large as approximately 200 nm. Thus, the mobility of carriers is increased. The crystal silicon thereof is grown within a temperature range of 250.degree. C. to 400.degree. C. Accordingly, when a planar type thin film transistor, an inverted stagger type thin film transistor or a stagger type thin film transistor is formed using crystal silicon formed on these films made of a binary system material, transistor characteristics thereof are improved. Further, when an impurity containing silicon film is formed by a chemical vapor deposition method between a source electrode and a drain electrode of a thin film transistor and a silicon film connected to these electrodes, and a flow rate of impurity containing gas is regulated so that impurity density becomes larger as approaching to the source electrode and the drain electrode, a leakage current in an OFF-state of the transistor is reduced. Since the impurity containing silicon film is grown by a chemical vapor deposition method in this case, the impurity density thereof can be controlled easily and the control accuracy is also improved.
