Abstract
This semiconductor device (A) includes: a transparent conductive layer (); an insulating layer () which is formed to cover the transparent conductive layer () and which has a hole () that overlaps at least partially with the transparent conductive layer (); a metal layer () formed on the insulating layer () and inside the hole (); and a contact portion () connecting the transparent conductive layer () and the metal layer () together. In the contact portion (), a refractory metal nitride layer () is arranged between the transparent conductive layer () and a portion of the metal layer () which is located inside the hole (). The refractory metal nitride layer () is in contact with the upper surface of the transparent conductive layer ().
