Abstract
A thin film transistor is disclosed, that comprises a first substrate protection film formed on a transparent insulation substrate, a second substrate protection film formed in a predetermined shape on the first substrate protection film, a semiconductor film having a channel region and a contact region formed on the second substrate protection film, the channel region being surrounded by the contact region, a gate insulation film formed above the semiconductor film, the gate insulation film having an opening portion for the contact region of the semiconductor film, a gate electrode formed in a region corresponding to the channel region of the semiconductor film on the gate insulation film, an inter-layer insulation film formed above the gate electrode, the inter-layer insulation film having an opening portion for the contact region of the semiconductor film, and a plurality of electrodes formed on the inter-layer insulation film, the plurality of electrodes being connected to the contact region of the semiconductor film through the opening portion. The edge surfaces of the second substrate protection film may be tapered. A contact state between the gate electrode and the inter-lay…
