Abstract

The objective of the invention is to provide a method of fabricating semiconductor device using a laser crystallization method capable of preventing a grain boundary from being formed on the channel-forming region of a TFT and preventing the mobility of the TFT from extremely deteriorating, on-current from decreasing, or off-current from increasing due to a grain boundary and a semiconductor device fabricated by the fabrication method. Striped (banded) or rectangular concave and convex portions are formed. Then, a semiconductor film formed on an insulating film is irradiated with a laser beam diagonally to the longitudinal direction of concave and convex portions on the insulating film.
