A method of manufacturing a low temperature polysilicon film is provided.
A first metal layer is formed on a substrate; and openings have been
formed in the first metal layer. A second metal layer is formed on the
first metal layer: and a hole corresponding to each of the openings is
formed in the second metal layer. A silicon layer is formed on the second
metal layer; a silicon seed is formed on the substrate inside each of the
holes. After removing the first and the second metal layers, an amorphous
silicon layer is formed on the substrate by using the silicon seed. Then
a laser crystallization step is performed to form a polysilicon layer
from the amorphous layer. Since the position of the silicon seed can be
controlled, the size and distribution of the silicon grain and the number
of the silicon crystal interface can also be controlled.
