Abstract
A method of crystallizing a silicon film and a method of manufacturing a liquid crystal display apparatus which uses the Joule heat of a heat generating conductive layer to increase the temperature of a silicon film for expediting silicon crystallization includes forming an amorphous silicon film on an insulating substrate, forming a heat generating conductive layer over the amorphous silicon film, and applying a voltage to the heat generating conductive layer wherein electric current flows through the heat generating conductive layer.
