Abstract

A thin-film transistor comprises a gate electrode formed on a glass substrate, a gate insulating film formed essentially over an entire surface of the substrate to cover the gate electrode, a non-single-crystal silicon semiconductor film placed on the gate insulating film to cover the gate electrode; and a drain electrode and a source electrode spaced a specified distance apart on the semiconductor film and electrically connected to the semiconductor film so as to form the channel region of the transistor. The gate electrode is made of titanium-containing aluminum.
