It is an object of the invention that, in semiconductor device, in order
to promote the tendency of miniaturization of each display pixel pitch,
which will be resulted in with the tendency toward the higher precision
(increase of pixel number) and further miniaturizations, a plurality of
elements is formed within a limited area and the area occupied by the
elements is compacted so as to be integrated. A plurality of
semiconductor layers 13, 15 is formed on different layers with insulating
film 14 sandwiched therebetween. After carrying out crystallization by
means of laser beam, on each semiconductor layer (semiconductor layers
16, 17 having crystal structure respectively), an N-channel type TFT of
inversed stagger structure and a P-channel type TFT 30 of top gate
structure are formed respectively and integrated so that the size of CMOS
circuit is miniaturized.
