  • Patent number: 9128286
    Abstract: A metal layer is formed on a highly light-transmissive substrate; a resist mask having an opening pattern is formed on the metal layer; exposed portions of the metal layer is etched away in this state to form openings; then the resist mask is removed; and a surface of the metal layer and an inner side wall of each of the openings are oxidized to form a metal oxide layer. Thus, a front surface and a rear surface of the aperture plate are caused to have different reflectances. The oxide layer is formed at the same time as when the resist mask is ashed to remove resist.

  • Patent number: 8368077
    Abstract: A second insulation layer which is formed by stacking a plurality of layers made of different materials in a mutually contact manner is formed such that the second insulation layer covers a source region and a drain region and also covers a gate electrode from above. A first contact hole which reaches one of the source region and the drain region and a recessed portion which is arranged above the gate electrode but is not communicated with the gate electrode are simultaneously formed on the second insulation layer by dry etching. A first line layer is formed so as to cover the first contact hole. After forming the first line layer, a bottom surface of the recessed portion is etched by dry etching thus forming a second contact hole which reaches the gate electrode in the first and second insulation layers. A second line layer is formed on the second contact hole.
