Abstract

The present invention provides an active matrix substrate having a built-in high-performance driver, in which a single crystal silicon thin film having high electron/hole mobility is uniformly deposited at a relatively low temperature, and an electrooptic device such as a thin film semiconductor device for display including the active matrix substrate. The single crystal silicon thin film is deposited by hetero epitaxial growth by a catalytic CVD method or the like using a crystalline sapphire thin film formed on the substrate as a seed so that the single crystal silicon layer obtained is used for top gate type MOSTFTs of the electrooptic device such as a LED or the like in which a display region and a peripheral driving circuit region are integrated.
