Abstract

A method for manufacturing thin-film transistor comprises steps of sequentially forming in laminar state a gate film, an insulating film and a conductive film having a transparent electrode film and an amorphous silicon film added with an impurity thereto on the top surface of glass substrate or layer; irradiating ultraviolet ray from the bottom surface side of the substrate to expose negative photoresist film on said conductive film and to etch the same; and forming an amorphous semiconductive film on the structure. In this manner, source and drain electrodes are respectively self-aligned with the gate electrode and contacted therewith through a semiconductive film and a low resistive and semiconductor film.
