[Patent application number] 20100065842 [Published] 03-18-2010 [Description] 
SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF - It is an object of the present invention to provide a thin film transistor in which an oxide semiconductor film containing indium (In), gallium (Ga), and zinc (Zn) is used and contact resistance of a source or a drain electrode layer is reduced, and a manufacturing method thereof. An IGZO layer is provided over the source electrode layer and the drain electrode layer, and source and drain regions having lower oxygen concentration than the IGZO semiconductor layer are intentionally provided between the source and drain electrode layers and the gate insulating layer, so that ohmic contact is made.
