A method for manufacturing a field-effect transistor includes forming an active layer of an oxide semiconductor, forming a conducting film to cover the active layer, patterning the conducting film through an etching process using an etchant to form a source electrode and a drain electrode, and performing, at least before the patterning the conducting film, a treatment on the active layer so that an etching rate of the active layer is less than an etching rate of the conducting film. |
