Abstract
A contact hole is formed, by etching that uses buffered hydrofluoric acid, in a gate insulating film made of SiO2 and an interlayer insulating layer, formed on the gate insulating film, which is made of SiN. In this contact hole, there is formed an electrode which includes: a first protective metal layer made of a refractory metal; a wiring layer, formed on the first protective metal layer, which is made of a metal whose resistance is lower than that of the refractory metal; and a second protective metal layer, made of a refractory metal, which is formed thicker than the gate insulating film.
Claims18
A layered structure of wire(s) provided in a contact hole formed in an insulating film in which a first insulating layer and a second insulating layer made of different material from each other are stacked in this order, wherein the layered structure of wire(s) including:
- a first metal layer which is made of a refractory metal;
- a wiring layer, formed on said first metal layer, which is made of a metal whose resistance is lower than that of the refractory metal;
- and
- a second metal layer, formed on said wiring layer, which is made of a refractory metal and is so formed as to be thicker than said first insulating layer.
A layered structure of wire(s) provided in a contact hole formed in an insulating film in which a first insulating layer and a second insulating layer made of different material from each other are stacked in this order, wherein the layered structure of wire(s) including:
- a first metal layer which is made of a refractory metal;
- a wiring layer, formed on said first metal layer, which is made of a metal whose resistance is lower than that of the refractory metal;
- and
- a second metal layer, formed on said wiring layer, which is made of a refractory metal and is so formed as to be thicker than a distance between an overhang and said first insulating layer therebelow,
- wherein said contact hole is formed by using a predetermined etchant, and in said second insulating film there is formed the overhang which is protruded beyond said first insulating film toward the center of said contact hole.
A layered structure of wire(s) provided in a contact hole formed in an insulating film in which a first insulating layer and a second insulating layer made of different material from each other are stacked in this order, the layered structure of wire(s) including:
- a first metal layer which is made of a refractory metal;

- and
- a second metal layer, formed on said wiring layer, which is made of a refractory metal and is formed to have thickness such that any severance does not occur due to a level difference caused by different etching rates of said first insulating layer and said second insulating layer when using a predetermined etchant,
- wherein said contact hole is formed by using said predetermined etchant.
A method of manufacturing a layered structure of wire(s), the method comprising:
- forming a contact hole in an insulating film in which a first insulating layer and a second insulating layer made of different material from each other are stacked in this order, by etching using a predetermined etchant;

- forming a wiring layer, on said first metal layer, which is made of a metal whose resistance is lower than that of the refractory metal;
- and
- forming a second metal layer made of a refractory metal, on said wiring layer, so as to be thicker than said first insulating layer.
A display apparatus, including:
- a layered structure of wire(s);
- and
- an optical element, formed on said layered structure of wire(s), which has at least an anode, a luminous element layer and a cathode,
- wherein said layered structure of wire(s) is provided in a contact hole formed in an insulating film in which a first insulating layer and a second insulating layer made of different material from each other are stacked in this order, and said contact hole is formed by using a predetermined etchnat, and wherein said layered structure of wire(s) includes:
