Abstract

A thin film transistor with high performance and improved productivity is offered using crystalline silicon film. As the crystalline silicon film that constitutes the active layer of thin film transistor, the one which has irregularities of 100 to 700 .ANG. in level difference is used. Such crystalline silicon film can be obtained by performing laser light irradiation.
