There is provided a semiconductor device in which fabrication steps can be
reduced by constructing a circuit using only TFTs of one conductivity
type and in which a voltage amplitude of an output signal can be normally
obtained. A capacitance (205) is provided between a gate and a source of
a TFT (203) connected to an output node, and a circuit formed of TFTs
(201) and (202) has a function to bring a node .alpha. into a floating
state. When the node .alpha. is in the floating state, a potential of the
node .alpha. is caused higher than VDD by using gate-source capacitance
coupling of the TFT (203) through the capacitance (205), thus an output
signal having an amplitude of VDD-GND can be normally obtained without
causing amplitude attenuation due to the threshold value of the TFT.
