A high performance circuit is formed by using a TFT with less fluctuation
in characteristics, and a semiconductor device including such a circuit
is formed. When the TFT is formed, first, a base film and a semiconductor
film are continuously formed on a quartz substrate without exposing to
the air. After the semiconductor film is crystallized by using a
catalytic element, the catalytic element is removed. In the TFT formed in
such a process, fluctuation in electrical characteristics such as a
threshold voltage and a subthreshold coefficient is extremely small.
Thus, it is possible to form a circuit, such as a differential amplifier
circuit, which is apt to receive an influence of characteristic
fluctuation of a TFT.
