A semiconductor device is fabricated by forming a first crystalline region
by irradiating a laser beam to a first region of an amorphous
semiconductor film by relatively moving the laser beam with respect to
the first region of the amorphous semiconductor film. A second
crystalline region is formed by irradiating the laser beam to a second
region of the amorphous semiconductor film including a portion of the
first crystalline region by relatively moving the laser beam with respect
to the second region of the amorphous semiconductor film. The wavelength
of the laser beam falls in a range of 370 nm through 650 nm. In general,
crystalline performance of the first crystalline region, the second
crystalline region, and a region of overlap between the first crystalline
region and the second crystalline region are the same.
