Patent attributes
An object is to reduce off-current of a thin film transistor. Another object is to improve electric characteristics of a thin film transistor. Further, it is still another object to improve image quality of a display device using the thin film transistor. An aspect of the present invention is a thin film transistor including a semiconductor film formed over a gate electrode and in an inner region of the gate electrode which does not reach an end portion of the gate electrode, with a gate insulating film interposed therebetween, a film covering at least a side surface of the semiconductor film, and a pair of wirings over the film covering the side surface of the semiconductor film; in which an impurity element serving as a donor is added to the semiconductor film.
