The object of the present invention is to solve problems treatment time
when using an SLS method or continuous-oscillation laser. An
indispensable portion is scanned with a laser beam in order to
crystallize a semiconductor film by driving a laser and so on in
accordance with the positions of islands instead of scanning and
irradiating the whole semiconductor film. The present invention makes it
possible to omit the time for irradiating a portion to be removed through
patterning after crystallizing the semiconductor film with a laser beam
and greatly shorten the treatment time for one substrate.
