Formation technique of high quality thin film polycrystalline Si on insulator by zone-melting recrystallization (ZMR) was investigated. Varying the thickness of polycrystalline Si of ZMR samples, thickness dependence of defect density in ZMR-Si films was studied. It was found that defect density of ZMR-Si film was strongly affected by thickness of polycrystalline Si. By thinning the polycrystalline Si film, defect density of ZMR-Si film was reduced to 3 {times} 10{sup 6}/cm{sup 2} without lowering scanning speed at ZMR process.
