Abstract
A first metal mask has a portion exposed at an opening of a second metal mask. The second metal mask is formed to be thicker than the first metal mask. The thickness of the first and second metal masks is such that the etching at an opening of the first mask reaches a source electrode when the etching at the opening of the second mask substantially reaches a semiconductor device forming layer.
