Contamination of an interface of respective films constituting a TFT due
to an contaminant impurity in a clean room atmosphere becomes a great
factor to lower the reliability of the TFT. Besides, when an impurity is
added to a crystalline semiconductor film, its crystal structure is
broken. By using an apparatus for manufacturing a semiconductor device
including a plurality of treatment chambers, a treatment can be made
without being exposed to a clean room atmosphere in an interval between
respective treatment steps, and it becomes possible to keep the interface
of the respective films constituting the TFT clean. Besides, by carrying
out crystallization after an impurity is added to an amorphous
semiconductor film, the breakdown of the crystal structure of the
crystalline semiconductor film is prevented.
