1. A semiconductor device comprising:

  • a source electrode layer;

    a drain electrode layer;

    an oxide semiconductor layer;

    a channel protection layer in contact with a top surface of the oxide semiconductor layer;

    a gate insulating layer in contact with top surfaces of the channel protection layer, the source electrode layer, and the drain electrode layer;

    a gate electrode layer overlapping with the oxide semiconductor layer with the channel protection layer and the gate insulating layer provided therebetween; and

    a first sidewall layer and a second sidewall layer,wherein one side surface of the oxide semiconductor layer is in contact with a side surface of the source electrode layer and the other side surface of the oxide semiconductor layer is in contact with a side surface of the drain electrode layer,wherein the source electrode layer, the drain electrode layer and the oxide semiconductor layer are provided over a surface of a substrate,wherein the top surfaces of the channel protection layer, the source electrode layer and the drain electrode layer are planarized so that maximum height thereof from the surface of the substrate are the same as one another,wherein the first sidewall layer is in contact with one side surface of the gate electrode layer and the second sidewall layer is in contact with the other side surface of the gate electrode layer, andwherein the first sidewall layer and the second sidewall layer have conductivity.
