In the following examples, first, a gate electrode having a predetermined pattern is formed on an insulating substrate by a normal photolithography process. Then, a gate insulating film, an amorphous silicon film, and a channel protective film are successively deposited thereon in this order without breaking the vacuum of the vacuum vapor deposition apparatus, and the three layers are patterned. Further, after patterning the channel protective film, a conductive film for ohmic contact is deposited while leaving the photoresist, and the conductive film is removed by a lift-off method except for the portion above the amorphous silicon film. Next, a metal film for the upper electrode and the light-shielding film is deposited in such a thickness as to cause step breakage on the end face of the channel protection film, and this is patterned to obtain a desired thin film transistor. According to this manufacturing method, since the upper electrode and the light-shielding film are simultaneously formed, the number of times of mask alignment can be reduced,
Further, since the channel protective film and the light shielding film can be self-aligned, the light shielding is sure. It is also possible to form the channel protective film pattern by self-aligning it with the gate electrode, which further ensures the light shielding of the upper surface of the channel.

Example 2 In the above Example 1, the steps until the formation of the channel protective film layer by glow discharge decomposition were the same. The procedure after that is changed as follows. The transparent substrate is exposed from the opposite side to the above-mentioned three-layer film to expose the photoresist using the gate electrode as a mask. The photoresist was developed, and CF 4 plasma etching was performed to form a self-aligned (that is, self-aligned) channel protective film pattern on the gate electrode. An n-type amorphous silicon layer (6) is formed by the same method. Next, after the patterning of the amorphous silicon layer (5) and the silicon nitride layer (3) is completed, the n-type amorphous silicon film on the channel protective film (7) is removed by a lift-off method. The subsequent process is the same as that of the first embodiment.
