Abstract

To provide a semiconductor device having a large aperture ratio, in which an auxiliary capacitance of a large capacity is provided in each pixel.Capacitance wiring 102 comprising a tantalum film is formed on a substrate 101 having an insulating surface, and a tantalum oxide film 103 is formed by heat oxidation thereof. An active layer 104 comprising a semiconductor thin film is formed, and an auxiliary capacitance comprising the structure obtained by sandwiching the tantalum oxide film 103 with a part of the active layer 104 and the capacitance wiring 102 is formed. The active layer 104 functions as an active layer of a top-gate TFT.
