Abstract

A semiconductor device includes: a gate electrode layer; a gate insulating film provided on the gate electrode layer; a semiconductor layer provided, in opposition to the gate electrode layer, on the gate insulating film; and a source-drain electrode layer provided on the semiconductor layer and on the gate insulating film. A face, in opposition to the gate insulating film, of the semiconductor layer is located above a face of a section, located on the gate insulating film, of the source-drain electrode layer.
