Abstract

The present invention has provided on a back channel side of the TFT a blocking layer that is formed by laminating a 50 nm to 100 nm thick silicon oxynitride film (A) and a 30 nm to 70 nm thick silicon oxynitride film (B). By forming a lamination structure of such silicon oxynitride films, not only can be the contaminations caused by impurities such as alkali metallic elements from the substrate prevented, but the fluctuations in the electrical characteristics of the TFT can be reduced.
