  • Patent number: 7323351
    Abstract: A polysilicon film is formed in a predetermined region on a glass substrate, and then a gate insulating film and a gate electrode, whose width is narrower than the gate insulating film, are formed thereon. Then, an interlayer insulating film and an ITO film are formed on an overall surface. Then, n-type source/drain regions having an LDD structure are formed by implanting the n-type impurity into the polysilicon film. Then, an n-type TFT forming region and a pixel-electrode forming region are covered with a resist film, and then p-type source/drain regions are formed by implanting the p-type impurity into the polysilicon film in a p-type TFT forming region. Then, the resist film is left only in the pixel-electrode forming region and the resist film is removed from other regions. A pixel electrode is formed by etching the ITO film while using the remaining resist film as a mask.

  • Patent number: 5728592
    Abstract: A thin film transistor matrix device is fabricated by forming a transparent conductor film and a metal film on an insulating substrate in this order. The metal film and the transparent conductor film are together patterned to form picture element electrodes, and drain bus lines or gate bus lines. Source electrodes and drain electrodes may also be formed from the transparent conductor film and metal film. A semiconductor layer, an insulating film and a conductor film may be formed on the entire surface in this order. In this case, the conductor film, the insulator film and the semiconductor layer are patterned to form an active layer from the semiconductor layer, gate insulating films from the insulating film, and gate electrodes and gate bus lines from the conductor film. By patterning the conductor film, the insulating film and the semiconductor layer, the metal film of the picture element electrodes and drain bus lines is exposed.
