Abstract
This semiconductor device (A) includes: a substrate (); a gate electrode () formed on the substrate (); a gate insulating layer () formed over the gate electrode (); an oxide semiconductor layer () formed on the gate insulating layer (); source and drain electrodes () electrically connected to the oxide semiconductor layer (); a first transparent electrode () electrically connected to the drain electrode (); an interlayer insulating layer () including portions formed on the source and drain electrodes (); and a second transparent electrode () formed on the interlayer insulating layer (). At least a portion of the second transparent electrode () overlaps with the first transparent electrode () with the interlayer insulating layer () interposed between them. And the oxide semiconductor layer () and the first transparent electrode () are formed out of a same oxide film.
