Oxide semiconductor thin-film transistor
First Claim
1. A thin film transistor comprising a gate electrode, a gate insulating layer, a semiconductor layer, source-drain electrodes, and a protective layer,wherein the semiconductor layer comprises a first region and a second region,wherein the first region overlaps with the source-drain electrodes,wherein the second region does not overlap with the source-drain electrodes,wherein the first region comprises a metal crystal, and the second region comprises an amorphous oxide, andwherein the metal crystal contains a metal contained in the amorphous oxide.

Abstract
A transistor includes a gate electrode, a gate insulating layer, a semiconductor layer including an amorphous oxide, source-drain electrodes, and a protective layer on a substrate. The semiconductor layer includes a first region corresponding to a region in which the source-drain electrodes are formed, and a second region not corresponding to the region in which the source-drain electrodes are formed. At least the first region includes a crystalline component having a composition different from the composition of the amorphous oxide in the second region.
