A layer-stacked wiring made up of a microcrystalline silicon thin film and
a metal thin film is provided which is capable of suppressing an
excessive silicide formation reaction between the microcrystalline
silicon thin film and metal thin film, thereby preventing peeling of the
thin film. In a polycrystalline silicon TFT (Thin Film Transistor) using
the layer-stacked wiring, the microcrystalline silicon thin film is so
configured that its crystal grains each having a length of the
microcrystalline silicon thin film in a direction of a film thickness
being 60% or more of a film thickness of the microcrystalline silicon
thin film amount to 15% or less of total number of crystal grains or that
its crystal grains each having a length of the microcrystalline silicon
thin film in a direction of a film thickness being 50% or less of a film
thickness of the microcrystalline silicon thin film amount to 85% or more
of the total number of crystal grains making up the microcrystalline
silicon thin film.
