Abstract: For forming a gate electrode, a conductive film with low resistance including Al or a material containing Al as its main component and a conductive film with low contact resistance for preventing diffusion of Al into a semiconductor layer are laminated, and the gate electrode is fabricated by using an apparatus which is capable of performing etching treatment at high speed.

Abstract: The present invention has an object to provide an active-matrix liquid crystal display device that realizes the improvement in productivity as well as in yield. In the present invention, a laminate film comprising the conductive film comprising metallic material and the second amorphous semiconductor film containing an impurity element of one conductivity type and the amorphous semiconductor film is selectively etched with the same etching gas to form a side edge of the first amorphous semiconductor film 1001 into a taper shape. Thereby, a coverage problem of a pixel electrode 1003 can be solved and an inverse stagger type can be completed with three photomask.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a manufacturing method of semiconductor device whereby the number of processes is decreased due to simultaneously forming a contact hole in a lamination film of different material and film thickness (inorganic insulating film and organic resin film) by conducting etching once. By setting the selective ratio of dry etching (etching rate of organic resin film 503/etching rate of inorganic insulating film 502 containing nitrogen) from 1.6 to 2.9, preferably 1.9, the shape and the size of the contact holes to be formed even in a film of different material and film thickness can be nearly the same in both of the contact holes.

Abstract: The wiring of the present invention has a layered structure that includes a first conductive layer (first layer) having a first width and made of one or a plurality of kinds of elements selected from W and Mo, or an alloy or compound mainly containing the element, a low-resistant second conductive layer (second layer) having a second width smaller than the first width, and made of an alloy or a compound mainly containing Al, and a third conductive layer (third layer) having a third width smaller than the second width, and made of an alloy or compound mainly containing Ti. With this constitution, the present invention is fully ready for enlargement of a pixel portion. At least edges of the second conductive layer have a taper-shaped cross-section. Because of this shape, satisfactory coverage can be obtained.
