Publication number: 20160190342Abstract: An active element and a fabricating method thereof are provided. The active element includes a gate, a gate insulating layer, a channel, a source and a drain. The gate is disposed on a substrate. The gate insulating layer is disposed on the substrate and covers the gate. The gate insulating layer is divided into a first region having uniform thickness and a second region having uniform thickness. The thickness of the gate insulating layer in the first region is different from the thickness of the gate insulating layer in the second region. The channel is disposed on the gate insulating layer. The source and the drain are disposed on the gate insulating layer and separated from each other. The distribution region of the source and the drain is identical to the distribution region of the first region. The channel contacts with the source and the drain.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 18, 2015Publication date: June 30, 2016Inventors: Hao-Wei Wang, Chia-Ming Chiang, Chih-Wen Lai
