Abstract
A semiconductor device according to the present invention comprises a semiconductor thin film, and first and second insulator films formed in such arrangement that the semiconductor thin film being sandwiched therebetween. First and second graded layers each containing a constitutent element of the semiconductor thin film and impurities and having a content of the impurities decreased in the direction of the semiconductor thin film are interposed between the semiconductor thin film and the respective insulator films, thereby to relax internal stress produced in the junction interfaces of the semiconductor thin film and the insulator films and to prevent cracking from occurring in the junction interfaces.
