Abstract

Abstract A MOS type semiconductor device includes a thin-film semiconductor, a gate oxide film, and a gate. The thin-film semiconductor has a drain region, a source region, and a channel region arranged between these two regions. The gate oxide film is formed on the thin-film semiconductor. The gate is formed in correspondence with the channel region via the gate oxide film. The thin-film semiconductor is formed such that the film thickness of the drain region and the source region is made smaller than the film thickness of the channel region.
