Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor film, a semiconductor auxiliary film, a wiring line, a first metal film, and an interlayer insulating film. The semiconductor film includes a channel region and a low-resistance region. The semiconductor film includes indium and oxygen. The semiconductor auxiliary film is in contact with the low-resistance region of the semiconductor film and reduces the electric resistance of the semiconductor film. The wiring line is electrically coupled to the low-resistance region of the semiconductor film. The first metal film covers the wiring line and has a higher standard electrode potential than the indium. The interlayer insulating film covers the semiconductor film with the first metal film interposed therebetween. The interlayer insulating film has a first hole and a second hole. The first hole is provided at a position opposed to the low-resistance region of the semiconductor film. The second hole reaches the first metal film.
