| 1. A method of manufacturing a silicon film comprising:
forming an insulating substrate;
forming a buffer layer on the insulating substrate, wherein the buffer layer is a material with a lower melting point than
silicon, the material being selected from the group consisting of metals, compounds or oxides;
crystallizing the buffer layer by annealing; and
forming a silicon layer on the crystallized buffer layer.
