Problems solved by technology

[0008] However, in Document 1 and Document 2, after etching the gate electrode and the gate insulating film, the interlayer insulating film is formed, so there are cases where the gate electrode and the gate insulating film corresponding to the etching are formed large step of the total thickness, and the step is difficult to be covered by an interlayer insulating film made only of an insulating film by the usual plasma CVD method
Therefore, there is a disadvantage that failures such as open or short circuits of the source and drain formed later are prone to occur.
In addition, in the above-mentioned document 3, after etching the channel protective film, an interlayer insulating film is formed, therefore, a step corresponding to the thickness of the channel protective film after etching is formed, so there is a difference from that of the documents 1 and 2.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application contains subject matter related to and claims priority from Japanese Patent Application JP2010-152754 filed in the Japan Patent Office on Jul. 5, 2010, the entire content of which is hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to a thin film transistor (TFT) using an oxide semiconductor and a display device including the TFT. Background technique [0004] In a liquid crystal display or an organic EL (Electro Luminescence) display employing an active drive system, thin film transistors are used as drive elements, and charges corresponding to signal voltages for writing images are held in holding capacitors. However, when a parasitic capacitance existing in an intersection region between a gate and a source or a drain of a thin film transistor becomes large, signal voltage fluctuates, which may result in deterioration of image quality. [0005] Specifically, ...
