Patent ID: 7483089

Claim:
A semiconductor device comprising: a source line electrically connected to a source region of a thin film transistor over a substrate and a drain electrode electrically connected to a drain region of the thin film transistor; a gate line across the source line; an inorganic insulating film formed over the thin film transistor; a conductive film formed over the inorganic insulating film; an interlayer insulating film formed over the conductive film wherein a contact hole is provided in the interlayer insulating film; and a pixel electrode over the interlayer insulating film and electrically connected to the drain electrode through the contact hole, wherein the drain electrode overlaps with a channel forming region of the semiconductor film at least partly and a portion of the gate line which extends in a direction perpendicular to the source line, and wherein a capacitor including the drain electrode, the inorganic insulating film and the conductive film overlaps with the channel forming region at least partly.
