Abstract

See full text

In a thin-film transistor of multi-gate structure, the width of a channel forming region 108 closest to a drain region 102 is made the narrowest. This prevents a transistor structure closest to the drain region from first deteriorating. Further, the channel length at the vicinity of a center of an active layer is intentionally widened, so that the amount of current flowing through the vicinity of the center of the active layer is decreased and the deteriorating phenomenon due to heat accumulation is prevented. Therefore, a semiconductor device with a high reliability is realized.
