PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To form a uniform polycrystalline semiconductor thin film through laser annealing. SOLUTION: A substrate 5 having an insulating layer whose thermal conductivity is comparatively low, and whose thickness is 20nm or larger, is prepared. Next, an amorphous silicon thin film 6 whose thermal conductivity is comparatively high and whose thickness is 35nm or smaller, is formed on the insulating layer. After this, the amorphous silicon thin film 6 is shot-irradiated successively with a laser beam 2 which is moved and scanned, to be applied with thermal energy, and it is converted into the polycrystalline silicon thin film, so that the laser beam of previous shots and the laser beam of the following shots partially overlap in a section with each other. The polycrystalline silicon can grow in a uniform particle size, by setting the thickness of the amorphous silicon thin film 6 to 35nm or smaller. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

The front half membrane of the third layer photoconductive membrane 3c' with about 50Angstrom thick has the density distribution of Se 75wt% and As 25wt%, for example, and at the rear half membrane with 200Angstrom thick, the density distribution is converted with Se 75-95wt%, and As 25-5wt%, for example. And at the rear side of the photoconductive membrane 3c', a P-type photoconductive membrane 3d' shown as D area is spread evenly on all the surface, with Se 95wt% and As 5wt%, for example. Therefore, even though little amount of As is used, the heat-resisting and the saturating properties and the like can be stabilized, and a seizure performance can be improved.
