摘要:
An conductive coating serves as a light shield film and is kept at a given voltage. A metal interconnection is located in the same layer as a source line and connected to the drain of a thin-film transistor. An interlayer insulating film is constituted of at least lower and upper insulating layers and formed between the conductive coating and the source line. According to one aspect of the invention, an auxiliary capacitor is formed by the metal interconnection and the conductive coating serving as both electrodes and at least the lower insulating layer film serving as a dielectric. The auxiliary capacitor is formed in a region of the interlayer insulating film in which the upper insulating layer has been removed by etching. According to another aspect of the invention, the conductive coating has a portion that is in contact with the lower insulating layer in a region where the conductive coating coextends with the metal interconnection.

The inventors has been anticipated that there is no problem in employing electron gun deposition as a method of forming a metallic layer on the EL layer because the TFT is disposed blow the ET layer in the active matrix light-emitting device. However, since the TFT is extremely sensitive to ionized evaporated particles, the secondary electron, the reflecting electron, and so on generated by the electron gun, little damage was observed on the EL layer, but significant damages were found on the TFT when electron gun deposition is employed. The invention provides an active matrix light-emitting device having superior TFT characteristics (ON current, OFF to current, Vth, S-value, and so on), in which an organic compound layer and a metallic layer (cathode or anode) are formed by means of resistive heating having least influence to the TFT.

An active layer of an NTFT includes a channel forming region, at least a first impurity region, at least a second impurity region and at least a third impurity region therein. Concentrations of an impurity in each of the first, second and third impurity regions increase as distances from the channel forming region become longer. The first impurity region is formed to be overlapped with a side wall. A gate overlapping structure can be realized with the side wall functioning as an electrode.

The object of the present invention is to form a low-concentration impurity region with good accuracy in a top gate type TFT. Phosphorus is added to a semiconductor layer by using a pattern made of a conductive film as a mask to form an N-type impurity region in a self-alignment manner. A positive photoresist is applied to a substrate so as to cover the pattern and then is exposed to light applied to the back of the substrate and then is developed, whereby a photoresist 110 is formed. The pattern is etched by using the photoresist pattern as an etching mask to form a gate electrode. A channel forming region, a source region, a drain region, and low-concentration impurity regions, are formed in the semiconductor layer in a self-alignment manner by using the gate electrode as a doping mask.

A semiconductor device with high reliability is provided using an SOI substrate. When the SOI substrate is fabricated by using a technique typified by SIMOX, ELTRAN, or Smart-Cut, a single crystal semiconductor substrate having a main surface (crystal face) of a {110} plane is used. In such an SOI substrate, adhesion between a buried insulating layer as an under layer and a single crystal silicon layer is high, and it becomes possible to realize a semiconductor device with high reliability.

摘要:
A fine semiconductor device having a short channel length while suppressing a short channel effect. Linearly patterned or dot-patterned impurity regions 104 are formed in a channel forming region 103 so as to be generally parallel with the channel direction. The impurity regions 104 are effective in suppressing the short channel effects. More specifically, the impurity regions 104 suppress expansion of a drain-side depletion layer, so that the punch-through phenomenon can be prevented. Further, the impurity regions cause a narrow channel effect, so that reduction in threshold voltage can be lessened.
摘要:
In a semiconductor device using a crystalline semiconductor film on a substrate 106 having an insulating surface, impurities are locally implanted into an active region 102 to form a pinning region 104. The pinning region 104 suppresses the spread of a depletion layer from the drain side to effectively prevent the short channel effect. Also, since a channel forming region 105 is intrinsic or substantially intrinsic, a high mobility is realized.
摘要:
An insulating film 103 for making an under insulating layer 104 is formed on a quartz or semiconductor substrate 100. Recesses 105a to 105d corresponding to recesses 101a to 101d of the substrate 100 are formed on the surface of the insulating film 103. The surface of this insulating film 103 is flattened to form the under insulating layer 104. By this flattening process, the distance L1, L2, . . . , Ln between the recesses 106a, 106b, 106d of the under insulating layer 104 is made 0.3 μm or more, and the depth of the respective recesses is made 10 nm or less. The root-mean-square surface roughness of the surface of the under insulating film 104 is made 0.3 nm or less. By this, in the recesses 106a, 106b, 106d, it can be avoided to block crystal growth of the semiconductor thin film, and crystal grain boundaries can be substantially disappeared.
