Abstract:
1. A semiconductor device including a thin-film transistor, said semiconductor device comprising: a gate electrode of said thin-film transistor; a gate insulation film covering said gate electrode; an organic semiconductor layer created on said gate insulation film that serves as a layer including source, channel and drain areas of said thin-film transistor; a structure created on said organic semiconductor layer; a source electrode extending from a first upper surface portion of said gate insulation film and ending at first upper surface portion of said organic semiconductor layer, which exists at a location outside said structure to serve as a first specific upper surface portion of said organic semiconductor layer; a drain electrode extending from a second upper surface portion of said gate insulation film and ending at a second upper surface portion of said organic semiconductor layer, which exists at a location outside said structure to serve as a second specific upper surface of said organic semiconductor layer; and an electrode material layer on said structure and made of the same material as said source electrode and said drain electrode.
