Abstract
An interterminal anti-short-circuiting pattern is formed in an upper metal wire included in a connection terminal , for connecting to external driving LSI and the like, located on the projected portion of a bottom glass substrate . This pattern includes recess and island on which a contact hole is formed through a protective insulating film. The protective insulating film has high residence to water penetration. Spread of the corrosion can be shut off by the recess surrounding the island. Short circuit occurrence due to interterminal current leak can be inhibited under high moisture conditions in the semiconductor device used for active matrix display, e.g. LCD panel.
