A technique for increasing productivity by simplified steps in a manufacturing process of TFTs, electronic circuits using TFTs, and semiconductor devices formed of TFTs is provided. A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming a light absorbing layer, forming a light-transmitting layer on the light absorbing layer emitting a linear laser beam with a homogenized energy onto a mask and thereby splitting the linear laser beam into a plurality of laser beams and emitting the plurality of laser beams onto the light-transmitting layer on the light absorbing layer, and thereby forming a plurality of openings in the light-transmitting layer and the light absorbing layer. |
