Semiconductor device
First Claim
1. A semiconductor device comprising:
- a semiconductor layer;
a first conductive layer over and in contact with the semiconductor layer;
a second conductive layer over and in contact with the first conductive layer;
an insulating layer over the second conductive layer; and
a third conductive layer over the insulating layer,wherein a thickness of the second conductive layer is larger than a thickness of the first conductive layer,wherein the insulating layer comprises an opening,wherein a region of the first conductive layer exposed from the opening is in contact with the third conductive layer,wherein an end portion of the first conductive layer extends beyond an end portion of the second conductive layer, andwherein an angle between a side surface and a bottom surface of the first conductive layer is smaller than an angle between a side surface and a bottom surface of the second conductive layer.

Abstract
It is an object of the present invention to connect a wiring, an electrode, or the like formed with two incompatible films (an ITO film and an aluminum film) without increasing the cross-sectional area of the wiring and to achieve lower power consumption even when the screen size becomes larger. The present invention provides a two-layer structure including an upper layer and a lower layer having a larger width than the upper layer. A first conductive layer is formed with Ti or Mo, and a second conductive layer is formed with aluminum (pure aluminum) having low electric resistance over the first conductive layer. A part of the lower layer projected from the end section of the upper layer is bonded with ITO.
