Abstract

A polycrystalline silicon film is implanted with an impurity in large amounts and is heated to be annealed, whereupon it is irradiated with a laser beam to be annealed. Thus, a polycrystalline silicon film of very low resistivity consisting of a second layer whose activated impurity concentration is equal to or below a solid solubility and a first layer whose activated impurity concentration is above the solid solubility is formed.
