A liquid crystal display includes a pixel cell array formed on a substrate. The pixel cell array includes rows and columns of pixel cells and each pixel cell has a pixel TFT. Gate control lines extend along the respective rows of the pixel cell array and connect the pixel TFTs to a gate control circuit. A termination unit is located near one end of the gate control lines. The termination unit is made up of antenna TFTs, respectively connected to the gate control lines. The antenna TFTs have a size which is much larger than a size of the pixel TFTs and are preferably CMOS type TFTs. The termination unit discharges a static charge which may build up on the gate control lines so that damage to the pixel TFTs caused by the static charge is prevented.

A linear laser light which has an energy and is to be scanned is irradiated to a semiconductor device formed on a substrate, and then the substrate is rotated to irradiate to the semiconductor device a linear laser light which has a higher energy than that of the irradiated linear laser light and is to be scanned. Also, in a semiconductor device having an analog circuit region and a remaining circuit region wherein the analog circuit region is smaller than the remaining circuit region, a linear laser light having an irradiation area is irradiated to the analog circuit region without moving the irradiation area so as not to overlap the laser lights by scanning. On the other hand, the linear laser light to be scanned is irradiated to the remaining circuit region.

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device comprises the steps of forming a first insulating film on a semiconductor layer, forming a gate electrode on the insulating film, pattering the first insulating film into a second insulating film so that a portion of the semiconductor layer is exposed while the second insulating film has extensions which extend beyond the side edges of the gate electrode, and performing ion introduction for forming impurity regions using the gate electrode and extensions of the gate insulating film as a mask. The condition of the ion introduction is varied in order to control the regions of the semiconductor layer to be added with the impurity and the concentration of the impurity therein.

There is disclosed an active matrix liquid crystal display that suppresses formation of a stripe pattern on the displayed image. An active matrix circuit, a peripheral drive circuit, and A image data signal lines for supplying image data signals are all integrated on a common substrate. The liquid crystal display includes a sampling circuit to which sampling circuit input lines are connected. These sampling circuit input lines are in contact with the image data signal lines and include dummy conducting lines extending to a buffer circuit. These dummy lines average out impedances of the individual image data signal lines, thus making uniform the amounts of image data signals lost from the image data signal lines. Thus, the formation of the stripe pattern is suppressed.

The present invention provides an active matrix type display device having a high aperture ratio and a required auxiliary capacitor. A source line and a gate line are overlapped with part of a pixel electrode. This overlapped region functions to be a black matrix. Further, an electrode pattern made of the same material as the pixel electrode is disposed to form the auxiliary capacitor by utilizing the pixel electrode. It allows a required value of auxiliary capacitor to be obtained without dropping the aperture ratio. Also, it allows the electrode pattern to function as a electrically shielding film for suppressing the cross-talk between the source and gate lines and the pixel electrode.

A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device such as a thin film transistor using a crystal silicon film is provided. The crystal silicon film is obtained by selectively forming films, particles or clusters containing nickel, iron, cobalt, ruthenium, rhodium, paradium, osmium, iridium, platinum, scandium, titanium, vanadium, chrome, manganese, copper, zinc, gold, silver or silicide thereof in a form of island, line, stripe, dot or film on or under an amorphous silicon film and using them as a starting point, by advancing its crystallization by annealing at a temperature lower than a normal crystallization temperature of an amorphous silicon. A transistor whose leak current is low and a transistor in which a mobility is high are obtained in the same time in structuring a dynamic circuit having a thin film transistor by selectively forming a cover film on a semiconductor layer which is to become an active layer of the transistor and by thermally crystallizing it thereafter.
