Abstract

The semiconductor device of this invention includes a substrate having an insulating surface and a thin film transistor formed on the substrate, wherein the thin film transistor has a semiconductor island including a channel region and source/drain regions, a gate insulating film formed on the semiconductor island and a gate electrode covering the channel region of the semiconductor island interposing the gate insulating film therebetween, and wherein a distance between an edge of the channel region of the semiconductor island and the gate electrode is larger than a distance between a central portion of the channel region of the semiconductor island and the gate electrode.
