An object is to provide a semiconductor device having a structure in which parasitic capacitance between wirings can be efficiently reduced. In a bottom gate thin film transistor using an oxide semiconductor layer, an oxide insulating layer used as a channel protection layer is formed above and in contact with part of the oxide semiconductor layer overlapping with a gate electrode layer, and at the same time an oxide insulating layer covering a peripheral portion (including a side surface) of the stacked oxide semiconductor layer is formed. Further, a source electrode layer and a drain electrode layer are formed in a manner such that they do not overlap with the channel protection layer. Thus, a structure in which an insulating layer over the source electrode layer and the drain electrode layer is in contact with the oxide semiconductor layer is provided.

An AMOLED back plate includes a substrate on which a buffer layer and a poly-silicon section are sequentially formed. A source and a drain are respectively formed of P-type heavy doped micro silicon on the poly-silicon section that have edges facing and spaced from each other to define a channel therebetween. A gate isolation layer is formed on the buffer layer, the source, the drain and the channel. A gate is formed on the gate isolation layer and has opposite edges that face in directions toward the edges of the source and the drain. The opposite edges of the gate are spaced from the edges of the source and the drain by predetermined spacing distance in horizontal directions so as to prevent the gate from overlapping the source and the drain.
