Abstract

In a case of forming a bottom-gate thin film transistor, a step of forming a microcrystalline semiconductor film over a gate insulating film by a plasma CVD method, and a step of forming an amorphous semiconductor film over the microcrystalline semiconductor film are performed. In the step of forming the microcrystalline semiconductor film, the pressure in the reaction chamber is set at or below 10−5 Pa once, the substrate temperature is set in the range of 120° C. to 220° C., plasma is generated by introducing hydrogen and a silicon gas, hydrogen plasma is made to act on a reaction product formed on a surface of the gate insulating film to perform removal while performing film formation. Moreover, the plasma is generated by applying a first high-frequency electric power of an HF band a second high-frequency electric power of a VHF band superimposed on each other.
