Abstract
The purpose of the present invention is to suppress a change in characteristics of a TFT using an oxide semiconductor film caused by that oxygen in the oxide semiconductor film is extracted by metal electrode. The main structure of the present invention is as follows. A semiconductor device having a TFT, in which a gate insulating film is formed on a gate electrode, and an oxide semiconductor film is formed on the gate insulating film; the oxide semiconductor film including a channel region, a drain region, and a source region; in which a metal nitride film is formed on a top surface of the gate electrode in an opposing portion to the channel region in a plan view; and the metal nitride film is not formed at a part of the top surface of the gate electrode.
