20110097830SEMICONDUCTOR ELEMENT, METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME, LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME - In case that a conventional TFT is formed to have an inversely staggered type, a resist mask is required to be formed by an exposing, developing, and droplet discharging in forming an island-like semiconductor region. It resulted in the increase in the number of processes and the number of materials. According to the present invention, a process can be simplified since after forming a source region and a drain region, a portion serving as a channel region is covered by an insulating film serving as a channel protecting film to form an island-like semiconductor film, and so a semiconductor element can be manufactured by using only metal mask without using a resist mask.04-28-2011
20110097834THIN FILM TRANSISTOR, DISPLAY DEVICE AND LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME - As a wiring becomes thicker, discontinuity of an insulating film covering the wiring has become a problem. It is difficult to form a wiring with width thin enough for a thin film transistor used for a current high definition display device. As a wiring is made thinner, signal delay due to wiring resistance has become a problem. In view of the above problems, the invention provides a structure in which a conductive film is formed in a hole of an insulating film, and the surfaces of the conductive film and the insulating film are flat. As a result, discontinuity of thin films covering a conductive film and an insulating film can be prevented. A wiring can be made thinner by controlling the width of the hole. Further, a wiring can be made thicker by controlling the depth of the hole.04-28-2011

20110057708Semicondutor Integrated Circuit Device - A semiconductor integrated circuit device including an I/O circuitry capable of low-voltage high-speed operation at low cost is provided. In the I/O circuitry, when an I/O voltage (for example, 3.3 V) is lowered to a predetermined voltage (for example, 1.8 V), portions causing a speed deterioration are a level conversion unit and a pre-buffer unit for driving a main large-sized buffer. In view of this, a high voltage is applied to a level up converter and a pre-buffer circuit. By doing so, it is possible to achieve an I/O circuitry capable of low-voltage high-speed operation at low cost.03-10-2011
