Abstract:
A thin film semiconductor device comprising:an insulating substrate; a plurality of thin film transistors integrated on said insulating substrate, each thin film transistor including: a gate electrode, a gate insulating film, a semiconductor thin film having a source region, a drain region, and a channel region formed to confront the gate electrode and disposed between the source and the drain regions, and an interlayer insulating film formed to cover the channel region and partially extend over both the source region and the drain region, wherein the gate electrode, the gate insulating film, the semiconductor thin film, and the interlayer insulating film are laminated in this order onto the insulating substrate; and a conductor film formed on the surface of said interlayer insulating film so as to be connected to one of the source region or the drain region and to extend from the one region beyond a length of said channel region.
