PURPOSE: To prevent an interlayer short circuit from being caused at a thin-film transistor and an interconnection part and to enhance the production yield of the title panel by a method wherein a blocking layer composed of an oxide metal film which has anodized a metal film over its whole thickness is formed on a channel region in an i-type semiconductor layer.
CONSTITUTION: A blocking layer composed of an oxide metal film 8 which has anodized a metal film over its whole thickness is formed on an i-type semiconductor layer 5 for a thin-film transistor 3. For example, it is composed of aluminum oxide formed by anodization. The aluminum oxide film 8 is formed in a region on a gate interconnection GL so as to be a line shape along the gate interconnection GL; both ends are extended up to the outer edge part of a gate insulating film 4 formed nearly over the whole surface of a substrate 1. Since the material for the metal film is completely different from that of the gate insulating film 4, the gate insulating film 4 is not etched, and the blocking layer can be formed on a channel region in the i-type semiconductor layer.
