Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a thin film semiconductor device, a manufacturing method thereof, an electro-optical device, and an electronic device. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, semiconductor integrated circuit devices and active matrix electro-optical devices are provided with protection circuits for protecting internal circuits from static electricity. For example, in an electro-optical device, a protection circuit is provided between internal circuits such as a pixel switching element and a drive circuit, and pads for extraction electrodes. A diode is used as a protection circuit in a semiconductor integrated circuit device, and a thin film transistor (TFT) connected to a diode is used in an electro-optical device. The reason is that it is difficult to form a TFT using a thin film semiconductor layer formed on an insulating plate and a PN junction of a diode on the thin film semiconductor layer in an electro-optical device (for ...
