Abstract

A thin-film transistor includes a pair of impurity semiconductor layers in which an impurity element imparting one conductivity type is added to form a source and drain regions so as to be overlapped at least partly with a gate electrode with a gate insulating layer interposed between the gate electrode and the impurity semiconductor layers; a pair of conductive layers which is overlapped over the gate insulating layers at least partly with the gate electrode and the impurity semiconductor layers, and is disposed with a space therebetween in a channel length direction; and an amorphous semiconductor layer which is in contact with the gate insulating layer and the pair of conductive layers and is extended between the pair of conductive layers.
