Manufacturing method of thin film transistor including low resistance conductive thin films

摘要

A manufacturing method of a thin film transistor includes forming a pair of source/drain electrodes on a substrate, such that the source/drain electrodes define a gap therebetween; forming low resistance conductive thin films, which define a gap therebetween, on the source/drain electrodes; and forming an oxide semiconductor thin film layer on upper surface of the low resistance conductive thin films and in the gap defined between the low resistance conductive thin films so that the oxide semiconductor thin film layer functions as a channel. The low resistance conductive thin films and the oxide semiconductor thin film layer are etched so that side surfaces of the resistance conductive thin films and corresponding side surfaces of the oxide semiconductor thin film layer coincide with each other in a channel width direction of the channel. A gate electrode is mounted over the oxide semiconductor thin film layer.
