An object of the present invention is to provide a technique for improving
characteristics of a TFT and realizing the structure of the TFT optimal
for driving conditions of a pixel section and a driving circuit, using a
smaller number of photo masks. A semiconductor device has a semiconductor
film, a first electrode, and a first insulating film sandwiched between
the semiconductor film and the first electrode, and further has a second
electrode, and a second insulating film sandwiched between the
semiconductor film and the second electrode. The first electrode and the
second electrode overlap with each other across a channel-formed region
which the semiconductor film has. A constant voltage is applied to the
first electrode at any time.
