摘要
An apparatus for zone-melting recrystallization of a semiconductor layer includes a first heater, on which a semiconductor wafer including the semiconductor layer and upper and lower insulating films sandwiching the semiconductor layer is mounted, for radiantly heating a rear surface of the semiconductor wafer to a temperature at which the semiconductor layer and the insulating layers are not melted; and a second heater disposed above the semiconductor wafer and radiantly heating a front surface of the semiconductor wafer. The second heater has a heat generating point that produces a heated spot in the semiconductor layer and moves spirally while maintaining a fixed distance from the semiconductor wafer, thereby producing a large-area monocrystalline region in the semiconductor layer. In this zone-melting recrystallization, a single crystalline nucleus is produced in the semiconductor layer, and the entire semiconductor layer is recrystallized with the crystalline nucleus as a seed crystal. Therefore, the semiconductor layer is recrystallized with the same crystal structure and orientation as the crystalline nucleus, so that grain boundaries are reduced, resulting in a semiconductor layer with increased grain size.
