A microstructure which forms a micromachine is formed by using a silicon
wafer as a mainstream, conventionally. In view of this, the invention
provides a manufacturing method of a micromachine in which a
microstructure is formed over an insulating substrate.The invention
provides a micromachine including a layer containing polycrystalline
silicon which is crystallized by thermal crystallization or laser
crystallization using a metal element and including a space over or under
the layer. Such polycrystalline silicon can be formed over an insulating
surface and has high strength, therefore, it can be used as a
microstructure as well. As a result, a microstructure formed over an
insulating substrate or a micromachine provided with a microstructure can
be provided.
