A photolithography step and an etching step for forming an island-shaped semiconductor layer is omitted, and a liquid crystal display device is manufactured through the following four photolithography steps: a step for forming a gate electrode (including a wiring or the like formed from the same layer), a step for forming a source electrode and a drain electrode (including a wiring or the like formed from the same layer), a step for forming a contact hole (including removal of an insulating layer or the like in a region other than the contact hole), and a step for forming a pixel electrode (including a wiring or the like formed from the same layer). In the step of forming the contact hole, a groove portion in which the semiconductor layer is removed is formed, so that formation of parasitic channels is prevented. |
