Abstract

Standard samples including at least a polycrystalline semiconductor film are produced by the energy beam annealing method. Dependencies on wavelength of refractive index and damping coefficients of standard samples are measured by means of a spectral ellipsometer, and grain sizes are measured to be quantified. An estimated sample consisting of a polycrystalline semiconductor film is produced by means of the energy beam annealing method. A dependency on wavelength of a refractive index and a damping coefficient of the estimated sample is measured to be compared with the results of the standard sample. Thus, the optically measured results can be quantified, so that it is possible to accurately measure a mean grain size of a polycrystalline silicon of a sample to be estimated, in a short time of about 5 seconds to calculate mobility to accurately select non-defective from defective in a short time.
