A semiconductor display device with an interlayer insulating film in which
surface levelness is ensured with a limited film formation time, heat
treatment for removing moisture does not take long, and moisture in the
interlayer insulating film is prevented from escaping into a film or
electrode adjacent to the interlayer insulating film. A TFT is formed and
then a nitrogen-containing inorganic insulating film that transmits less
moisture compared to organic resin film is formed so as to cover the TFT.
Next, organic resin including photosensitive acrylic resin is applied and
an opening is formed by partially exposing the organic resin film to
light. The organic resin film where the opening is formed, is then
covered with a nitrogen-containing inorganic insulating film which
transmits less moisture than organic resin film does. Thereafter, the
gate insulating film and the two layers of the nitrogen-containing
inorganic insulating films are partially etched away in the opening of
the organic resin film to expose the active layer of the TFT.
