The inventors have anticipated that there is no problem in employing electron gun deposition as a method of forming a metallic layer on an EL layer of an active matrix light-emitting device because the TFT of the active matrix light-emitting device is disposed below the EL layer. However, since the TFT is extremely sensitive to ionized evaporated particles, the secondary electron, the reflecting electron, and so on generated by the electron gun, while little damage is observed on the EL layer, significant damage is found on the TFT when electron gun deposition is employed. The invention provides an active matrix light-emitting device having superior TFT characteristics (ON current, OFF to current, Vth, S-value, and so on), in which an organic compound layer and a metallic layer (cathode or anode) are formed by means of resistive heating having least influence to the TFT. |
