Abstract

A high performance thin film transistor is provided containing polycrystalline Si-Ge alloy. The TFT has a crystal structure restraining both current scattering in a grain boundary and surface roughness by introduction of Ge into Si. This permits realizing an image display device having high performance and a large area at low cost.
