Abstract

A method relates to fabrication of semiconductor devices such as TFTs on an insulating substrate. After forming a coating consisting mainly of aluminum nitride, semiconductor devices such as TFTs or semiconductor integrated circuits comprising said semiconductor devices are built directly or indirectly on the coating to form e.g. an active matrix liquid crystal display. A coating consisting mainly of silicon oxide may be formed on the coating consisting mainly of aluminum nitride and under said semiconductor devices or said semiconductor integrated circuits.
