Abstract

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device comprising a step of forming a desired opening in an insulating film formed on a single-crystalline semiconductor substrate, a step of forming an impurity-doped amorphous or polycrystalline semiconductor layer to cover the surface of said insulating film and the exposed surface of said semiconductor substrate in said opening, and a step of irradiating said semiconductor layer with a laser beam to let a portion of said semiconductor layer on said insulating film be polycrystallized or remain polycrystalline and let a portion of said semiconductor layer on said semiconductor substrate be single-crystallized to form a junction between said single-crystallized semiconductor layer portion and said semiconductor substrate.
