Abstract

According to one embodiment, a manufacturing method of thin film transistor includes forming an oxide semiconductor layer on a first insulating film, forming a first conductive layer formed of molybdenum or a molybdenum alloy on the oxide semiconductor layer, forming a second conductive layer on the first conductive layer, forming a resist mask on the second conductive layer, and forming a first conductive portion and a second conductive portion by performing dry etching of the second conductive layer using the resist mask.

Claims (14)

1. A manufacturing method of thin film transistor, the method comprising:

forming an oxide semiconductor layer on a first insulating film;

forming a first conductive layer formed of molybdenum or a molybdenum alloy on the oxide semiconductor layer;

forming a second conductive layer on the first conductive layer;

forming a resist mask on the second conductive layer;

forming a first conductive portion and a second conductive portion by performing dry etching of the second conductive layer using the resist mask; and

performing wet etching of the first conductive layer using the first conductive portion and the second conductive portion as a mask to form a third conductive portion which overlaps the first conductive portion and forms a first electrode with the first conductive portion and a fourth conductive portion which overlaps the second conductive portion and forms a second electrode with the second conductive portion.

2. The manufacturing method of thin film transistor of claim 1 , wherein the oxide semiconductor layer is formed using an oxide containing at least one of indium (In), gallium (Ga), zinc (Zn), and tin (Sn).

3. The manufacturing method of thin film transistor of claim 1 , wherein the first conductive layer is formed using molybdenum tungsten (MoW).

4. The manufacturing method of thin film transistor of claim 1 , the method further comprising, during the formation of the second conductive layer:

forming a first layer on the first conductive layer using titanium (Ti);

forming a second layer on the first layer using aluminum (Al) or an aluminum alloy;

forming a third layer on the second layer using titanium (Ti); and

forming the second conductive layer as a layered structure of the first, second, and third layers.
