Abstract

A method of producing a semiconductor device comprises a step of forming a field isolating oxide layer from an amorphous silicon layer by oxidation at a relatively low temperature. Prior to the oxidizing treatment, a portion of the amorphous silicon layer is recrystallized into a single-crystalline silicon layer by laser irradiation.
