Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent occurrence of breakdown defects of a metal electrode at step parts, by means of a constitution, wherein a semiconductor thin film, which is to become the active layer of a transistor on a substrate, and a thin film, which is to become an unnecessary part, are made to remain on the substrate, and the thin films are separated at an interval of 1mum or less. CONSTITUTION:A thin film on an insulating substrate 1 is isolated into an active layer 2 and an unnecessary part 6 with a groove 7. The interval of the groove is made to be 1 mum or less. The groove is filled with SiO2 8 and insulated from the layer 3. A gate oxide film 9 is formed on the active layer 2. A gate electrode 3 is formed on the film 9. Contact holes are provided at positions, between which the gate electrode 3 of the active layer 2 is located, on the active layer 2, on which the gate electrode 3 is formed, and on the unnecessary part 6. In this way, an interlayer insulating layer 4 is formed. An Al electrode 5 as a metal electrode is formed on the interlayer insulating layer 4 and the contact holes so that the upper part of the gate electrode 3 is made to remain. Thus breakdown defects of metal wirings at step parts do not occur at all, and a thin film transistor having an excellent yield rate is obtained.

Effects According to the present invention as described above, not only the active layer portion but also the unused portion of the semiconductor thin film made of polysilicon or amorphous silicon formed on the substrate can be combined with the active layer.
Because the thin film forming the active layer was left with a gap of less than μm, a thin film forming the active layer was formed on a flat surface, and a step part was created in the metal electrode forming the top layer of each TPT component member laminated in sequence on top of the thin film. First, there is no occurrence of metal wiring breakage defects at all, and TPTs with high yields can be obtained.
