Abstract

A method of forming a contact hole includes forming a first conductive layer patterned so as to serve as an electrode or a wiring on a substrate, forming an insulation layer on the substrate and the first conductive layer, inserting a cutting instrument into the insulation layer at an angle to a surface of the insulation layer, the angle being in the range from 5° to 80°, and forming a tapered opening extending to the electrode or the wiring in the insulation layer by drawing out the cutting instrument.
