Disclosed is a method that includes: forming a gate electrode on a substrate, then forming an insulation layer so as to completely cover the gate electrode, thereafter forming a semiconductor layer on the insulation layer, and then forming a crystallization-inducing metal layer on the semiconductor layer; removing the part of at least the crystallization-inducing metal layer that is over a channel region of the semiconductor layer; forming source and drain electrodes at a location which is over source and drain regions respectively located at opposite sides with respect to the channel region of the semiconductor layer and is above the crystallization-inducing metal layer; and heating the crystallization-inducing metal layer so as to form a silicide layer of a crystallization-inducing metal.
