  • Patent number: 8059252
    Abstract: The invention relates to a liquid crystal display device that is used in display portions of electronics devices and a manufacturing method thereof, and an object is to provide a high quality liquid crystal display device where light is inhibited from leaking and a manufacturing method thereof. The projected structure formed of the first through the fourth columnar spacer receiving patterns, the insulating film and the final protective film is formed on the TFT substrate. The projected structure is buried in the columnar spacer disposed on the opposite substrate. Thereby, even when the liquid crystal display panel is surface pressed, both substrates are hardly displaced.

  • Patent number: 7317209
    Abstract: In a method for manufacturing a TFT device, a metal thin film is formed on a gate insulation film. Patterning is performed to remove the metal thin film on a semiconductor layer, and phosphorous ions are implanted using the patterned metal thin film as a mask to form the source and drain regions. The patterned metal thin film is further patterned to form a gate electrode of an n-type TFT. Phosphorous ions are implanted using the gate electrode as a mask to form LDD regions between the source and drain regions and a channel region.

  • Patent number: 7312483
    Abstract: A semiconductor film is formed on a substrate. Subsequently, a resist film is formed on the semiconductor film, and dry etching is performed to the semiconductor film using the resist film as a mask. Due to the dry etching, the edge portion of the semiconductor film protrudes from the resist film. Next, the p-type impurities are introduced into the edge portion of the semiconductor film using the resist film as a mask. The volume density of the p-type impurities in a channel edge portion of the semiconductor film is two to five times the volume density of the p-type impurities in a channel center section. Subsequently, the resist film is removed to form a gate insulating film and a gate electrode.

  • Publication number: 20040051101
    Abstract: LDD regions can be properly formed even when a gate insulation film is thin, and an impurity can be properly activated. After forming a gate electrode, an n-type impurity is implanted in a high density using a resist mask for etching the gate insulation film as a mask. A SiO2 film is formed as a first interlayer insulation film, and activation is thereafter performed using a laser. By implanting the impurity with the resist mask for etching left in place, the problem of excessive implantation of the n-type impurity in the LDD regions can be avoided without adding a photolithographic process even when the gate insulation film is thin.
