Provided are a method of forming a carbon film which has a reduced number of steps and improved productivity without needing a high-temperature process, and a method of forming an electrode which does not need a binder. A fluororesin film is formed on a surface of a collector, and a surface of the fluororesin film is contacted with an alkali metal such as lithium to perform defluorination and then washed with acid. By this processing, lithium (Li) chemically reacts with fluorine (F) in the fluororesin film, and lithium fluoride (LiF) is generated. Consequently, the fluororesin film is defluorinated, whereby an electrode having a carbon film is formed.

An object is to provide a thin film transistor with small off current, large on current, and high field-effect mobility. A silicon nitride layer and a silicon oxide layer which is formed by oxidizing the silicon nitride layer are stacked as a gate insulating layer, and crystals grow from an interface of the silicon oxide layer of the gate insulating layer to form a microcrystalline semiconductor layer; thus, an inverted staggered thin film transistor is manufactured. Since crystals grow from the gate insulating layer, the thin film transistor can have a high crystallinity, large on current, and high field-effect mobility. In addition, a buffer layer is provided to reduce off current.
