<p>The invention provides a thin film transistor that can reduce an off-current flowing in end-parts in a channel width direction of a channel layer and a manufacturing method therefor. Widths of a source electrode (160a) and a drain electrode (160b) are smaller than a width of a channel layer (140). Accordingly, in the channel layer (140), low resistance regions (140b) are formed to surround respectively the source electrode (160a) and the drain electrode (160b). A high resistance region (140a) having a higher resistance value than those of the low resistance regions (140b) remains not only in the region sandwiched between the two low resistance regions (140b), but also in the end parts in the channel width direction. As a result, in a TFT (100), the high resistance region (140a) is extended not only to the channel region sandwiched between the source electrode (160a) and the drain electrode (160b), but also to the end parts in the channel width direction. Accordingly, the off-current flowing through the end parts in the channel width direction reduces.</p> |
