Aspects of the invention provide a method, in a semiconductor device, such
as a thin film transistor, a technology capable of preventing or reducing
the electric field concentration at the edge section of the semiconductor
film to enhance the reliability. The method of manufacturing a
semiconductor device according to the invention can include a first step
of forming a semiconductor film discretely on an insulation substrate, a
second step of covering the semiconductor film including an edge section
of the semiconductor film with a first insulation film, a third step of
opening the first insulation film above the semiconductor film excluding
the edge section of the semiconductor film, a fourth step of forming a
second insulation film thinner than the first insulation film on the
semiconductor film corresponding to at least the opening of the first
insulation film, and a fifth step of forming an electrode wiring film on
the second insulation film.
