Abstract
A semiconductor device including a capacitor having an increased charge capacity without decreasing an aperture ratio is provided. The semiconductor device includes a transistor including a light-transmitting semiconductor film, a capacitor in which a dielectric film is provided between a pair of electrodes, and a pixel electrode electrically connected to the transistor. In the capacitor, a conductive film formed on the same surface as the light-transmitting semiconductor film in the transistor serves as one electrode, the pixel electrode serves as the other electrode, and a nitride insulating film and a second oxide insulating film which are provided between the light-transmitting semiconductor film and the pixel electrode serve as the a dielectric film.
