Abstract:
A manufacturing method of a thin film transistor includes hard-baking and etching processes for a stop layer. Two through holes are exposed and developed in a photoresistor layer, in which a distance between the two through holes is substantially equal to the channel length of the thin film transistor. Further, the etching stop layer is dry-etched to obtain the thin film transistor having an expected channel length.
Abstract:
A thin film transistor includes a gate electrode, a gate insulating layer, a channel layer, an etching stop layer, two contact holes, a source, and a drain. The gate insulating layer covers the gate electrode. The channel layer is arranged on the gate insulating layer corresponding to the gate electrode. The etching stop layer covers the channel layer and includes an organic stop layer and a hard mask layer, the hard mask layer is located on a surface of the organic stop layer opposite to the channel layer to enhance a hardness of the organic stop layer. The two contact holes pass through the etching stop layer. The source connects to the channel via one contact hole, and the drain connects to the channel via the other contact hole.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a thin film transistor substrate is provided, including a first photoresist pattern covers a channel during a process of etching a second photoresist pattern and protects the channel. Thus, an etching stop layer is not required.
Abstract:
A method for forming a TFT includes providing a substrate, a gate electrode on the substrate, an electrically insulating layer on the substrate to totally cover the gate electrode, a channel layer on the electrically insulating layer, a first photoresist pattern on the channel layer, a metal layer on the electrically insulating layer, the channel layer and the first photoresist layer, and a second photoresist pattern on the metal layer. A middle portion of the metal layer is then removed to form a source electrode and a drain electrode and to expose the first photoresist pattern and a portion of the channel layer between the first and second photoresist patterns. The exposed portion of the channel layer is then processed to have its electrical conductivity be lowered to thereby reduce a hot-carrier effect of the channel layer.
