Abstract

A display device including a substrate having thin film transistors (TFT) comprising: the TFT including an oxide semiconductor film, a gate electrode and an insulating film formed between the oxide semiconductor film and the gate electrode, wherein a first aluminum oxide film and a second aluminum oxide film, which is formed on the first aluminum oxide film, are formed between the insulating film and the gate electrode, an oxygen concentration in the first aluminum oxide film is bigger than an oxygen concentration in the second aluminum oxide film.

Claims (24)

1 . A manufacturing method of a semiconductor device having a thin film transistor comprising:

the thin film transistor including an oxide semiconductor film, a gate electrode and an gate insulating film formed between the oxide semiconductor film and the gate electrode,

wherein

forming a metal film on a substrate,

forming a first insulating film on the substrate so as to cover the metal film,

forming a semiconductor film on the first insulating film,

forming a second insulating film which is the gate insulating film covering the semiconductor film,

forming an aluminum oxide film on the second insulating film,

removing the aluminum oxide film on the second insulating film, and

forming a third insulating film in contact with an upper surface of the second insulating film and covering the gate electrode.

2 . A manufacturing method according to claim 1 ,

wherein forming the aluminum oxide film include forming a first aluminum oxide film on the insulating film, and forming a second aluminum oxide film on the first aluminum oxide film.

3 . A manufacturing method according to claim 2 ,

wherein the aluminum oxide film arranged between the second insulating film and the gate electrode include a first aluminum oxide film and a second aluminum oxide film on the first aluminum oxide film, and

the first aluminum oxide film is formed so that an oxygen concentration of the first aluminum oxide film is bigger than an oxygen concentration of the second aluminum oxide film.

4 . A manufacturing method according to claim 2 ,

wherein the first aluminum oxide film is formed by oxygen reactive mode sputtering.

5 . A manufacturing method according to claim 2 ,

wherein the second aluminum oxide film is formed by transition mode sputtering.

6 . A manufacturing method according to claim 2 ,
