An objective is to provide a method of manufacturing a semiconductor
device, and a semiconductor device manufactured by using the
manufacturing method, in which a laser crystallization method is used
that is capable of preventing the formation of grain boundaries in TFT
channel formation regions, and is capable of preventing conspicuous drops
in TFT mobility, reduction in the ON current, and increases in the OFF
current, all due to grain boundaries. Depressions and projections with
stripe shape or rectangular shape are formed. Continuous wave laser light
is then irradiated to a semiconductor film formed on an insulating film
along the depressions and projections with stripe shape of the insulating
film, or along a longitudinal axis direction or a transverse axis
direction of the rectangular shape. Note that although it is most
preferable to use continuous wave laser light at this point, pulse wave
laser light may also be used.
