First Claim
1. A semiconductor device, comprising:
- a lower electrode;
an insulating layer covering the lower electrode;
a semiconductor layer provided on the insulating layer;
a contact layer including a first contact layer, a second contact layer and a third contact layer each having at least a portion thereof overlapping with the semiconductor layer; and
an upper electrode including a first upper electrode at least a part of which overlaps with the first contact layer, a second upper electrode at least a part of which overlaps with the second contact layer, and a third upper electrode at least a part of which overlaps with the third contact layer, with the second upper electrode located between the first upper electrode and the third upper electrode;
whereinthe second contact layer includes a first region, and a second region separate from the first region;

Abstract
A semiconductor device of the present invention includes: a lower electrode (110); a contact layer (130) including a first contact layer (132), a second contact layer (134) and a third contact layer (136) overlapping with a semiconductor layer (120); and an upper electrode (140) including a first upper electrode (142), a second upper electrode (144) and a third upper electrode (146). The second contact layer (134) includes a first region (134a), and a second region (134b) separate from the first region (134a), and the second upper electrode (144) is directly in contact with the semiconductor layer (120) in a region between the first region (134a) and the second region (134b) of the second contact layer (134).
