Abstract
A method of fabricating a thin-film transistor includes: forming an oxide semiconductor layer above a substrate; forming a gate insulating layer above the oxide semiconductor layer; forming a gate electrode above the gate insulating layer; forming a cover layer on the gate electrode; forming a side wall insulating layer on a side wall portion of the gate electrode by heat treatment, after the forming of a cover layer; forming an interlayer insulating layer covering the gate electrode and the oxide semiconductor layer, after the forming of a side wall insulating layer; and forming, above the interlayer insulating layer, a source electrode and a drain electrode electrically connected to the oxide semiconductor layer.
