Date of patent: Jun. 08, 2010

Inventors: Kengo Akimoto, Tatsuya Honda, Norihito Sone.

The goal is to create a cost-effective semiconductor device using a simplified manufacturing process. This involves forming a thin film transistor with an oxide semiconductor film (such as zinc oxide). The steps include forming a gate electrode, a gate-insulating film, and an oxide semiconductor film on a substrate. Finally, the first and second conductive films are applied over the oxide semiconductor film. The oxide semiconductor film contains a crystallized region in the channel area.
