Abstract

The present invention provides a process for producing a polycrystal silicon film which comprises a step of forming a polycrystal silicon film by light irraditation of a silicon film set on a substrate, and a step of selecting substrate samples having an average grain size in a plane of the sample of 500 nm or more. According to the present invention, stable production of a high-performance poly-silicon TFT liquid crystal display becomes possible.
