A method of forming a polysilicon film having smooth surface using a lateral growth and a step-and-repeat laser process. Amorphous silicon formed in a first irradiation region of a substrate is crystallized to form a first polysilicon region by a first laser shot. Then, the substrate is moved a predetermined distance, and irradiated by a second laser shot. The polysilicon region is then recrystallized and locally planarized by subsequent laser shots. After multiple repetitions of the irradiation procedure, the amorphous silicon film formed on a substrate is completely transformed into a polysilicon film. The polysilicon film includes lateral growth crystal grains and nano-trenches formed in parallel on the surface of the polysilicon film. A longitudinal direction of the nano-trenches is substantially perpendicular to a lateral growth direction of the crystal grains.
