Abstract
This thin-film transistor includes a drain electrode film and a source electrode film, each of which includes a composite copper alloy film including a copper alloy underlayer that is formed so as to come into contact with a barrier film and a Cu layer that is formed on the copper alloy underlayer. One aspect of the copper alloy underlayer includes a concentrated layer including 2 mol % to 30 mol % of Ca, 20 mol % to 50 mol % of oxygen, and Cu and inevitable impurities as the balance. Another aspect of the copper alloy underlayer includes a concentrated layer including 2 mol % to 30 mol % of Ca, 1 mol % to 10 mol % in total of one or more selected from the group consisting of Al, Sn, and Sb, 20 mol % to 50 mol % of oxygen, and Cu and inevitable impurities as the balance.
