Abstract: An electronic circuit formed on an insulating substrate and having thin-film transistors (TFTs) comprising semiconductor layers. The thickness of the semiconductor layer is less than 1500 ?, e.g., between 100 and 750 ?. A first layer consisting mainly of titanium and nitrogen is formed on the semiconductor layer. A second layer consisting of aluminum is formed on top of the first layer. The first and second layers are patterned into conductive interconnects. The bottom surface of the second layer is substantially totally in intimate contact with the first layer. The interconnects have good contacts with the semiconductor layer.

Abstract: In the production of thin film transistor (TFT), a gate insulating film is formed to cover an active layer, a titanium nitride film is formed on the gate insulating film, and an aluminum film used as the gate electrode is formed on the titanium nitride film. The resulted configuration prevents the etching of the aluminum film from the insulating film side even if the etchant of aluminum enters the recessed portion at the edge of the active layer during the patterning of the gate electrode. Also in the anodizing process, when an oxide film is formed on the surface of the aluminum film, the oxidation of aluminum from the gate insulating film side is prevented even when the electrolyte solution enters the recessed portion at the edge of the active layer.
