Abstract

A semiconductor device comprising a source/drain region and a channel region formed in a silicon thin film composed of a group of silicon single crystal grains which are each approximately rectangular-shaped and which are arranged in a grid pattern on the base body, where a selected orientation of the silicon single crystal grains to the surface of the base body is approximately the <100> direction.
