No area is provided. With such a configuration, it is possible to effectively suppress the backlight light transmitted through the substrate 1 from directly entering the channel region 7 c of the oxide semiconductor layer 7.
- the semiconductor device 1001 of this embodiment has the following advantages because the low reflection layers 4s and 4d are provided on the substrate side of the source bus line 13s, the source electrode 13as and the drain electrode 13d.
- a part of the light 29 such as backlight or sunlight incident on the inside of the semiconductor device 1001 is formed between the low reflection layers 4s and 4d and the gate electrode 3a or the gate bus line 3g. Multiple reflections between them. Since the reflectivity of the low reflection layers 4s and 4d is smaller than the reflectivity of the metal layer such as the source electrode 13as, the intensity of the light 29 is reduced while multiple reflection is performed. Therefore, the amount of light incident on the channel region 7c due to multiple reflection can be suppressed to be smaller than in the prior art.
- deterioration of the oxide semiconductor TFT 103 due to light can be suppressed, and reliability can be improved.
- the low reflection layer 4s extends from the end of the source electrode 13as on the channel region side c by the distance Ds to cover a part of the channel region 7c.
- the low reflective layer 4d preferably extends from the end of the drain electrode 13ad on the channel region 7c side to the source electrode 13as side by a distance Dd and covers a part of the channel region 7c.

If the distances Ds and Dd are 0.1 ⁇ m or more, the reflection of light on the side surface of the source electrode 13as and the drain electrode 13ad on the channel region 7c side can be more reliably reduced.
- the channel length (that is, the distance in the channel direction between the end of the reflective layer 4s on the channel region 7c side and the end of the reflective layer 4d on the channel region 7c side) cannot be secured. There is a fear.
- the low reflective layer 4s is preferably formed so as to be in contact with the entire lower surface of the source electrode 13as. Thereby, since the reflection of the light 29 by the lower surface of the source electrode 13as can be suppressed, a more remarkable effect can be obtained.

- the low reflection layers 4s and 4d titanium was in an oxide bonding state and indium was in a metallic bonding state. This is because the low reflection layers 4s and 4d are formed by a redox reaction between titanium as a wiring material and IGZO as an oxide semiconductor, and simultaneous oxidation of titanium and reduction of indium. Indicates that it is a layer.

- the IGZO layer and the source and drain electrodes are stacked and annealed at 350 ° C., for example, to form a metal oxide layer between the IGZO layer and the source and drain electrodes.
- this metal oxide layer is different from the low reflection layer of this embodiment in that it is formed while an oxidation reaction with oxygen in the annealing atmosphere is also generated.
- the width of the gate electrode in the channel length direction is smaller than the channel length of the channel region, and backlight light transmitted through the substrate may directly enter the oxide semiconductor layer.
- the source contact region of the oxide semiconductor layer and A metal oxide layer is formed in the drain contact region. Therefore, in this configuration, it is difficult to suppress reflection of light on the lower surface of the source bus line in a region other than the TFT formation region.

For this reason, conventionally, there has been a problem that TFTs cannot be arranged in the vicinity of the sealing material, and the area of the region (frame region) other than the display region increases.
- FIG. 13 is a graph showing voltage-current characteristics before and after the irradiation of UV light to the channel region of the oxide semiconductor TFT.
- the oxide semiconductor TFT used for the evaluation of characteristics is, for example, an IGZO-TFT having a conventional TFT structure shown in FIG.
