摘要： A memory element is formed of a thin film transistor. The thin film transistor has a semiconductor layer, a source electrode electrically connected to the semiconductor layer, a drain electrode electrically connected to the semiconductor layer and formed separately from the source electrode, a gate electrode for controlling formation of a channel of the semiconductor layer, and a gate insulation film for isolating the gate electrode and the semiconductor layer from each other and causing a hysteresis in the relation between the drain current and the gate circuit. The insulation film is a silicon nitride film whose composition ratio of silicon to nitrogen is in a range of approx. 0.85 to 1.1. According to this invention, the relation between the gate voltage and the drain current can be set to have a hysteresis. Therefore, the thin film transistor can be used as a memory element. Further, according to this invention, data can be written, erased and read out by selectively applying an electric field to the gate insulation film. Therefore, the thin film transistor can be used as a memory element.

摘要： A TFT panel is manufactured by a process of forming an oxide voltage-apply lines, gate lines, and capacitor lines on an insulating substrate, and a process of forming thin-film transistors, pixel electrodes, data lines, and ground lines. In a state that one end of the gate line and both ends of the capacitor line are connected to the oxide voltage-apply line, oxide films are formed on the surfaces of the gate line and the capacitor line by anodization. After forming the oxide film, the gate line and the capacitor line are electrically separated from the oxide voltage-apply line.
