Abstract:
A base layer is formed on an insulating substrate, and a semiconductor layer is formed in localized fashion thereon. A gate insulating film is then formed so as to cover the semiconductor layer, and a gate electrode is formed on a portion of the gate insulating film. An impurity is then implanted into the semiconductor layer via the gate insulating film, and a source region, a drain region, and an LDD region are formed. The gate insulating film is etched with dilute hydrofluoric acid. An electrode-protecting insulating film is then formed so as to cover the gate electrode, and the entire surface of the surface layer portion of the electrode-protecting insulating film is etched away using dilute hydrofluoric acid. Carrier traps introduced into the electrode-protecting insulating film and the gate insulating film are thereby removed.
