Abstract

A method of fabricating a semiconductor device comprises the steps of preparing a transparent support substrate, forming a first gate electrode comprising semiconductor single crystal silicon by epitaxial growth on the transparent support substrate, forming an insulating film over the first gate electrode, forming a through-hole in the insulating film to expose a portion of the first gate electrode, laterally and epitaxially growing a semiconductor single crystal silicon thin film over the transparent substrate by epitaxial growth in the through-hole of the insulating film, forming a transistor element having a channel region formed in the semiconductor single crystal silicon thin film, and forming a second gate electrode over and electrically insulated from the channel region.
