  • Patent number: 7872263
    Abstract: A method of TFT (Thin Film Transistor) manufacturing and a substrate structure are provided. The structure includes a substrate and a self-alignment mask. A self-alignment mask on a substrate is first manufactured and then the self-alignment mask may synchronously extend with the substrate during the thermal process. When an exposure light source is provided on the side without a TFT formed, the self-alignment mask can overcome the problem that when a plastic substrate extends, the positions of the source and drain to be formed on the plastic substrate are incorrect, which has a great effect on the accuracy of alignment. As the result, the positions of the source and drain can be defined accurately.

  • Patent number: 7829398
    Abstract: A method for making a thin film transistor (TFT) is provided. A mask is first formed on the backside of a substrate, and is used to fabricate a gate, source, and drain of the transistor by backside exposure, such that the source and drain can be self-aligned with the gate pattern. In this way, an alignment shift due to expansion or contraction after performing a high temperature process on an insulating layer can be avoided. Further, since the backside mask previously formed on the substrate can be shifted with the expansion or contraction of the substrate, the process is simplified. Moreover, the source/drain can be accurately aligned with the gate, so that parasitic capacitance can be reduced and flickering of the panel can be avoided.
