Abstract
There is provided a highly reliable semiconductor device in which electrostatic breakdown can be prevented. A diamond-like carbon (DLC) film is formed on a surface of an insulating substrate, and thereafter, a thin film transistor is formed on the insulating substrate. This DLC film allows charges of static electricity to flow and can prevent electrostatic breakdown of the thin film transistor.
