To provide a method of efficiently configuring a circuit requiring high
inter-device consistency by using thin-film transistors. A semiconductor
layer is formed on a substrate and is patterned into desired shapes to
form first semiconductor islands. The first semiconductor islands are
uniformly crystallized by laser irradiation within the surface areas
thereof. Thereafter, the semiconductor layers are patterned into desired
shapes to become active layers of the thin-film transistors layer. Active
layers of all of thin-film transistors constituting one unitary circuit
are formed of one of the first semiconductor islands in this case. Thus,
the TFTs mutually realize high consistency.
