description A method of manufacturing a TFT ( 10 ) is disclosed comprising source ( 8 ) and drain ( 8 ″) electrodes joined by a semiconductor channel ( 6 ) formed from a semiconductor layer ( 4 ), a gate insulating layer ( 7 ) and a gate electrode ( 8 ′). The method comprising the steps of applying a foil ( 2 ) comprising a crystallisation enhancing material (CEM) and depositing the semiconductor layer ( 4 ) over a supporting substrate ( 1 ); and heating the semiconductor layer ( 4 ) so as to crystallise the semiconductor layer ( 4 ) from regions exposed to the CEM of the foil ( 2 ). The method may further comprise the step of providing a patterned barrier layer ( 3 ) between the foil ( 2 ) and the semiconductor layer ( 4 ) wherein the semiconductor layer ( 4 ) is crystallised from regions exposed through vias in the barrier layer ( 3 ) to the CEM of the foil ( 2 ). Also disclosed is a TFT ( 10 ) manufactured by the same, and an active matrix device ( 20 ) comprising a row and column array of active elements ( 22 ) wherein each element ( 22 ) is associated with such a TFT ( 10 ) connected to corresponding row ( 24 ) and column ( 23 ) conductors.
