PURPOSE:To form a crystal prescribed in planar orientation in a prescribed region by forming a region where crystal growing nuclei are different in genera tion rate through an ion implantation method and to enhance a MOS transistor in characteristics by forming its channel region on the above crystal. CONSTITUTION:An amorphous semiconductor layer 13 is formed on an insulating layer 12 provided to a substrate 11, them an ion implanting mask 15 is formed on a prescribed region of the amorphous semiconductor layer 13, and a region 16 where no impurity is introduced is selectively provided to the topmost layer of the amorphous semiconductor layer 13 under the ion implantation mask 15 through an oblique ion implantation method. Thereafter, through a solid growth annealing treatment, a crystal grain 18 prescribed in planar orientation is selectively grown in solid phase from the region 16 where no impurity is introduced to form a crystal region 19. The crystal region 19 is irradiated with an energy beam to be fused and then recrystallized into a recrystallized region. Moreover, the channel region of a MOS transistor is formed on a crystal region or a recrystallized region.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a semiconductor material, which has more superior electric characteristic compared to a polycrystalline semiconductor material, and which can easily be formed on various substrates. SOLUTION: A semiconductor material is constituted of plural crystal grains 3a of almost single crystal constituted of a semiconductor. Crystal grains 3a are preferentially oriented in one face orientation, 100} face orientation, 111} face orientation or 110} face orientation, and grain boundaries 3b of the adjacent crystal grains 3a are grating-matched at least in a part, for example. In the case of 100} face orientation, the crystal grains 3a have almost square forms and are arranged in grids. In the case of 111} face orientation, the crystal grains 3a have almost regular hexagonal forms and are arranged in a tortoiseshell form. In the case of 110} face orientation, the crystal grains 3a have almost hexagonal forms and are arranged in the tortoiseshell form. The semiconductor constituting the crystal grains 3a is a IV group semiconductor having the diamond-type crystal structure of Si, Ge and C.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a forming method of a silicon thin film which can arrange regularly silicon single crystal particle group on an insulating film, and form it easily in a short time. SOLUTION: An amorphous or polycrystalline silicon layer 13 formed on a substrate 12 is irradiated with a pulsed UV ray beam, thereby forming a silicon thin film 14 composed of silicon single crystal particle group on the substrate 12. In the above forming method of a silicon thin film, the traveling amount L of UV beam irradiation position from irradiation finish of a rectangular UV ray beam to the next irradiation start of the rectangular UV ray beam is set at most 40μm, and the ratio R (=L/W) of the traveling amount to the width W of the UV ray beam which is measured along the traveling direction is set to be 0.1-5%. Thereby a silicon thin film composed of nearly rectangular silicon single crystal particle group arranged in a lattice type on the substrate is formed. The preferred orientation to the surface of the substrate of silicon single crystal particles is almost (100).

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To manufacture the specimen for electronic microscope in required and sufficient space by a method wherein a specimen film coat.formed on a semiconductor substrate through the intermediary of a stopper layer is firstly etched away in the depth from surface side to the stopper layer successively to be etched away. SOLUTION: An Si semiconductor substrate 1 is coated with a metallic film made of Al or Cu, etc., for the observation by transmission type electronic microscope through the intermediary of a stopper layer 2. Next, the Si substrate 1 is immersed in a blended solution of fluoric acid and nitric acid as an etchant of the Si substrate 1 for etching the substrate 1 thus externally exposed. Next, the residual body is immersed in another blended solution of fluoric acid and water as another etchant of the stopper layer 2. By the performance of the second etching step, the specimen film 3 only is left on the holding substrate.

CONSTITUTION:A wafer having an laminated film 3 on a base 2 is cut to prepare two small pieces 1, silane coupling agent films 4 are formed on the surfaces of the respective laminated films 3, and the silane coupling agent films 4 are mutually opposed and adhered through an adhesive 4 consisting of an epoxy resin to manufacture an adhered block 10. Thereafter, the adhered block 10 is cut vertically to the adhered surface to form a thin plate 6, and the surface of the thin plate 6 is polished, and then further partially thinned by ion milling to manufacture a sample. Since even the laminated layers having films conventionally difficult to adhere such as Al films formed on the top layers can be mutually adhered, a sample for sectional observation by TEM can be manufactured.
