The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a thin film transistor with small leakage current and high switching characteristics. In a method for manufacturing a thin film transistor, a back channel portion is formed in the thin film transistor by conducting etching using a resist mask, the resist mask is removed by removal or the like, and a superficial part of the back channel portion is further etched. Through the steps, components of chemical solution used for the removal, residues of the resist mask, and the like which exist at the superficial part of the back channel portion can be removed and leakage current can be reduced. The further etching step of the back channel portion is preferably conducted by dry etching using an N2 gas or a CF4 gas with bias not applied.

An object is to provide a photoelectric conversion element having a side surface with different taper angles by conducting etching of a photoelectric conversion layer step-by-step. A pin photodiode has a high response speed compared with a pn photodiode but has a disadvantage of large dark current. One cause of the dark current is considered to be conduction through an etching residue which is generated in etching and deposited on a side surface of the photoelectric conversion layer. Leakage current of the photoelectric conversion element is reduced by forming a structure in which a side surface has two different tapered shapes, which conventionally has a uniform surface, so that the photoelectric conversion layer has a side surface of a p-layer and a side surface of an n-layer, which are not in the same plane.
