Abstract

A method for forming a polycrystalline silicon layer for TFT according to the present invention includes steps of: depositing an amorphous silicon layer and a silicon oxidation layer on a substrate in this order; and implanting semiconductor ions into the amorphous silicon layer and the silicon oxidation layer while heating the substrate, thereby converting the amorphous silicon layer into a polycrystalline silicon layer, and forming an amorphous oxidation layer between the amorphous silicon layer and the silicon oxidation layer.
