The present invention relates to a semiconductor device formed in a
self-light-emitting apparatus having a substrate and a plurality of
self-light-emitting elements formed on the substrate, the semiconductor
device being used to drive one of the self-light-emitting elements. The
semiconductor device includes an active layer of semiconductor material,
in which a source region and a drain region are formed, a source
electrode having a multi-layered structure including an upper side layer
of titanium nitride and a lower side layer of a high melting point metal
having low resistance, the source electrode electrically being coupled to
the source region, a drain electrode having a multi-layered structure
including an upper side layer of titan nitride and a lower side layer of
a high melting point metal having low resistance, the source electrode
electrically being coupled to said drain region, an insulation layer
formed on the active layer, and a gate electrode formed on the insulation
layer.
