- the pixel electrode 19 When viewed from the normal direction of the substrate 1, at least a part of the pixel electrode 19 may overlap the common electrode 15 with the third insulating layer 17 interposed therebetween.

- an auxiliary capacitance having a desired capacitance can be obtained. For this reason, it is not necessary to separately form an auxiliary capacitor in the pixel using, for example, the same metal film as the source wiring. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the aperture ratio due to the formation of the auxiliary capacitor using the metal film.

- the Cu oxide film 8 formed by the oxidation process tends to vary in thickness.
- unevenness may occur on the surface of the main layer (Cu layer) 7a. Even in such a case, performing chelate cleaning is advantageous because not only the Cu oxide film 8 but also the surface portion of the main layer 7a is removed in the contact hole CH1, and the surface of the main layer 7a can be planarized.
- the interface between the main layer 7a and the transparent conductive layer 19 in the contact portion is the interface between the main layer 7a and the interlayer insulating layer 11 (that is, between the main layer 7a and the interlayer insulating layer 11 via the Cu oxide film 8). It becomes flatter than the interface.
- the contact resistance between the drain electrode 7D and the transparent conductive layer 19 can be significantly reduced.
- the reliability can be improved.
- the adhesion of the transparent conductive layer 19 to the drain electrode 7D can be more effectively enhanced.
- the part located in the bottom face of contact hole CH1 when planarized by chelate cleaning among the surfaces of drain electrode 7D, it may be located below other parts covered with Cu oxide film 8.
- the etching of the Cu oxide film 8 may proceed in the lateral direction (side etching). In this case, when viewed from the normal direction of the substrate 1, the end of the Cu oxide film 8 is located outside the contour of the contact hole CH 1 (the end of the interlayer insulating layer 11).

- the Cu oxide film 8 remains in the contact hole CH1 and is interposed between the drain electrode 7D and the transparent conductive layer 19, whereas in the embodiment, it is located in the contact hole CH1 by chelate cleaning. This is probably because the Cu oxide film 8 to be removed has been removed.
- the minimum value Rmin of the contact resistance is approximately the same. From this, in the semiconductor device of the comparative example, as a result of removing a part (surface portion) of the Cu oxide film 8 in the contact hole CH1 with the stripping solution in a part of the contact portions by the stripping solution of the resist mask. There is a possibility that the Cu oxide film 8 has been thinned to such an extent that the contact resistance can be ignored. However, it is difficult to uniformly and sufficiently thin the Cu oxide film 8 in the contact hole CH1 over the entire substrate 1 with the resist mask stripping solution. For this reason, for example, there is a contact portion having a contact resistance of 5 times or more of the average value Rave. On the other hand, in the semiconductor device of the embodiment, the Cu oxide film 8 in the contact hole CH1 can be removed over the entire substrate 1. Variations in contact resistance can be suppressed to about 25% or less, for example.

Next, a metal film for source wiring is formed by sputtering, for example. Here, a metal film (for example, Ti film) serving as a lower layer and a Cu film serving as a main layer are formed in this order. Thereafter, a Cu alloy oxide film 10 is formed on the source wiring metal film. The Cu alloy oxide film 10 may be formed by sputtering using a Cu alloy target in an atmosphere containing oxygen (for example, an Ar / O 2 atmosphere).

- the Cu alloy oxide film 10 is removed, and the upper conductive layer 19t and the upper surface (Cu alloy surface) of the source connection layer 7t are in direct contact with each other. That is, the Cu alloy oxide film 10 is interposed between the source connection layer 7t and the interlayer insulating layer 11, and is not interposed between the source connection layer 7t and the upper conductive layer 19t. This makes it possible to reduce the contact resistance between the gate connection layer 3t and the upper conductive layer 19t.

本発明者は、キレート洗浄の有無とコンタクト抵抗との関係について検討したので、その方法および結果を説明する。
半導体装置100A、100Bの製造プロセスでは、マスクの位置合わせのために、基板上にアライメントマークを設けてもよい。アライメントマークは、例えばソース・ドレイン電極7と同一の導電膜(ソース配線層)を用いて形成される。アライメントマークの読み取りは、例えば、光を照射したときの反射率によって行われる。
半導体装置100A、100Bでは、ソース・ドレイン電極7を含む配線層(ソース配線層と呼ぶ。)が、上述した積層構造を有していてもよい。ソース配線層の表面(上面および側面)は、Cu酸化膜8で覆われていてもよい。ソース配線層のうち他の導電層とコンタクトを形成する部分(例えば端子部など)では、上述したドレイン電極7D-透明導電層19間のコンタクト部と同様に、Cu酸化膜8が除去されていることが好ましい。これにより、コンタクト抵抗の上昇を抑制できる。
