Definitions
- the present invention relates to a semiconductor device formed using an oxide semiconductor and a manufacturing method thereof, and more particularly to an active matrix substrate of a liquid crystal display device or an organic EL display device and a manufacturing method thereof.
- the semiconductor device includes an active matrix substrate and a display device including the active matrix substrate.
- An active matrix substrate used in a liquid crystal display device or the like includes a switching element such as a thin film transistor (hereinafter referred to as “TFT”) for each pixel.
- TFT thin film transistor
- An active matrix substrate including TFTs as switching elements is called a TFT substrate.
- amorphous silicon TFT amorphous silicon film as an active layer
- polycrystalline silicon TFT amorphous silicon film as an active layer
- oxide semiconductor TFT in place of amorphous silicon or polycrystalline silicon as a material for the active layer of a TFT.
- a TFT is referred to as an “oxide semiconductor TFT”.
- An oxide semiconductor has higher mobility than amorphous silicon. For this reason, the oxide semiconductor TFT can operate at a higher speed than the amorphous silicon TFT.
- the oxide semiconductor film can be formed by a simpler process than the polycrystalline silicon film.
- Patent Document 1 discloses a method for manufacturing a TFT substrate including an oxide semiconductor TFT. According to the manufacturing method described in Patent Document 1, the number of manufacturing steps of the TFT substrate can be reduced by forming the pixel electrode by reducing the resistance of a part of the oxide semiconductor layer.

- a small-sized transmissive liquid crystal display device for mobile use has a small display area. Therefore, the area of each pixel is naturally small, and the aperture ratio is significantly reduced due to high definition. Moreover, when the aperture ratio of a liquid crystal display device for mobile use decreases, it is necessary to increase the luminance of the backlight in order to obtain a desired luminance, which causes a problem of increasing power consumption.
- the area occupied by an element formed of an opaque material such as a TFT and an auxiliary capacitor provided for each pixel may be reduced, but the TFT and the auxiliary capacitor naturally have their functions.
- the TFT can be reduced in size as compared with the case where an amorphous silicon TFT is used.
- the auxiliary capacitor is a capacitor provided in parallel with the liquid crystal capacitor in order to hold a voltage applied to the liquid crystal layer of the pixel (electrically referred to as “liquid crystal capacitor”). In general, at least a part of the auxiliary capacitor is formed so as to overlap with the pixel.
