Abstract: A pixel structure and a fabricating method thereof are described. The method comprises forming a conductive layer, a data line and a source/drain at the same time. The conductive layer has a coupling portion and a connecting portion. The coupling portion is used as a top electrode of a pixel storage capacitor, and the connecting portion connects the coupling portion and the drain. Thereafter, a contact window is defined on the connecting portion, and a pixel electrode formed subsequently can be electrically connected to the connecting portion through the contact window. Thus, the pixel electrode, the conductive layer (includes the coupling portion) and the drain are electrically connected each other. Since the contact window is not formed above the pixel storage capacitor, the leakage of the pixel storage capacitor will not occur when the etching process of the contact window etches away the gate insulating layer.

Abstract: In the conventional manufacture method that has reduced the number of manufacture processes by forming semiconductor layers and source-drain wires for a channel-etch type insulating gate transistor in a single photo etching process using halftone exposure technology, the channel length increases when the photosensitive resin pattern used at above formation process of source-drain patterning is reduced. Hence the manufacture tolerance (margin) is small, and the yield decreases when the distance between the source wire and drain wire is shortened.
