Abstract

Disclosed is a display device including: a substrate; a first insulating film over the substrate, the first insulating film exposing a part of the substrate to provide an exposed surface to the substrate; a second insulating film in contact with the exposed surface and a first side surface of the first insulating film; and a first wiring over the second insulating film and in contact with the exposed surface, the first insulating film, and the second insulating film. The display device may further possess a third insulating film spaced from the second insulating film and in contact with the exposed surface. The first insulating film has a second side surface opposing the first side surface through the exposed surface. The third insulating film may be in contact with the second side surface, and the wiring may be located over and in contact with the third insulating film.

Claims (32)

1. A semiconductor device comprising:

a substrate having a first region, a second region, and a trench overlapping with a region between the first region and second region and having a first sidewall and a second sidewall facing each other;

a pair of first insulating films over and in contact with the substrate in the first region and the second region;

a pair of second insulating films in the trench, the pair of second insulating films being spaced away from each other and respectively in contact with the first sidewall and the second sidewall; and

a plurality of wirings over and in contact with the pair of first insulating films and the pair of second insulating films, the plurality of wirings being in contact with the substrate in the trench, wherein

each of the pair of second insulating films is not in contact with an upper surface of the first insulating film, and
