Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify film forming process by forming the passivation films and light shielding films on a back channel side to the same patterns. CONSTITUTION:Gate electrodes 1 consisting of a metal are formed on a glass substrate 10. A gate insulating film 2, a semiconductor film 3 and metallic films to form the passivation film 4 and the light shielding film 5 are then formed successively over the entire surface. The light shielding film 5 and the passivation film 4 are formed to the same patterns with the same resist as a mask; thereafter, an N type amorphous silicon film 6 introduced with phosphorus is laminated over the entire surface. The N type amorphous silicon film 6 and the amorphous silicone film 3 are simultaneously etched to obtain the impurity semiconductor film 6 and the semiconductor film 3; thereafter, source electrodes 7 and drain electrodes 8 consisting of metals are formed. Since the passivation film 4 and the light shielding film 5 are easily formed with the same mask in this way, the yield of production is improved.

Impurity semiconductor film 6 and semiconductor film 3 are formed. In case 2, the passivation film 4. Since a metal film remains above the L light shielding film 5 and the impurity semiconductor film 6, the thickness of the passivation film 4 is set to be q greater than the metal film thickness of the source electrode 7 and drain electrode 8, thereby reducing the level difference caused by this. By using the cut, it is possible to prevent a short circuit accident between the source t-pole 7 and the drain t-pole 8. Further, since the source electrode 7, the drain electrode 8, and the impurity semiconductor film 6 are separated by the passivation film 1, there is no need to remove them from the channel portion.
