Self-light-emitting apparatus and semiconductor device used in the apparatus

A self-light-emitting apparatus having a substrate and a plurality of self-light-emitting elements formed on said substrate and a plurality of semiconductor devices formed on said substrate, each of said self-light-emitting elements having a transparent electrode, a common electrode and an electroluminescence layer formed between said transparent electrode and said common electrode, said semiconductor devices being connected to respective said self-light-emitting elements for controlling current applied to said plurality of self-light-emitting elements, each of said semiconductor devices comprising:

• an active layer of semiconductor material, in which a source region and a drain region are formed;
• a source electrode having a multi-layered structure including an upper side layer of titanium nitride and a lower side layer of a high melting point metal having low resistance, said lower side layer stacked on said source region to directly contact with said source region, said source electrode electrically being coupled to said source region;
• a drain electrode having a multi-layered structure including an upper side layer of titanium nitride and a lower side layer of a high melting point metal having low resistance, said lower side layer stacked on said drain region to directly contact with said drain region, said drain electrode electrically being coupled to said drain region;
• an insulation layer formed on said active layer;
• and
• a gate electrode formed on said insulation layer,
• said self-light-emitting apparatus further comprising a connecting conductor having a multi-layered structure including an upper side layer of titanium nitride and a lower side layer of a high melting point metal having low resistance, said upper side layer of the connecting conductor contacting with each of said transparent electrodes for electrically connecting each of said semiconductor devices to each of said self-light-emitting elements.
