Patent attributes
The present invention relates to a semiconductor device formed in a self-light-emitting apparatus having a substrate and a plurality of self-light-emitting elements formed on the substrate, the semiconductor device being used to drive one of the self-light-emitting elements. The semiconductor device includes 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, the source electrode electrically being coupled to the source region, a drain electrode having a multi-layered structure including an upper side layer of titan nitride and a lower side layer of a high melting point metal having low resistance, the source electrode electrically being coupled to said drain region, an insulation layer formed on the active layer, and a gate electrode formed on the insulation layer.
