Abstract

To provide a method of producing a TFT array and a liquid crystal display apparatus in which a contact resistivity of a pixel electrode and a drain electrode through a contact hole in an interlayer insulating film can be not more than 10E4.OMEGA. stably. A method of producing TFT of the present invention for a liquid crystal display apparatus includes the step of forming TFT, the step of forming an interlayer insulating film, in which the surface is made to be flat so that a level difference due to the TFT area is eliminated, on a transparent insulating substrate, the step of providing a contact hole on a drain electrode of the interlayer insulating film so as to forming a pixel electrode on the interlayer insulating film so that the pixel electrode is electrically connected with the drain electrode through the contact hole, and the step of after forming the contact hole on the interlayer insulating film, applying a surface treatment for cleaning the surface of the contact portion to the surface of the substrate including the surface of the drain electrode exposed from the contact hole.
