12. A manufacturing method of a thin film transistor, comprising:
-
continuously forming a semiconductor thin film forming film including zinc oxide and a protection film forming film;
forming a protection film by etching the protection film forming film;
forming a semiconductor thin film having a plan-view shape substantially same as that of the protection film, by etching the semiconductor thin film forming film by using the protection film as a mask;
forming a gate insulating film which covers the protection film; and
forming a gate electrode on the gate insulating film. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
