Abstract

A method for fabricating an active matrix substrate is disclosed which includes the following steps: forming an island region of a first semiconductor film on a prescribed insulating substrate; forming a first insulating film and a second semiconductor film on said first insulating film; forming a second insulating film on said second semiconductor film and thereafter forming a prescribed pattern of the second insulating film; depositing prescribed metal on the pattern and thereafter forming a compound of the second semiconductor film and the metal; removing unreacted portion of the metal; and etching said second semiconductor film and said first insulating film using said compound as a mask.
