  • Patent number: 7612837
    Abstract: A protecting structure for ESD is formed on a substrate of a TFT-LCD. A display area of the TFT-LCD is formed by a pixel array comprising lots of pixel units, scan lines and data lines. The protecting structure comprises a first rake metal and an ?-Si layer. The first rake metal is formed outside the display area and each short end of the first rake metal faces the data line by a spacing. Further, all tips of the short end and the data lines are sharp in shape so as to accumulate electrostatic charges. The ?-Si layer is formed directly under the predetermined short end of first rake metal and the corresponding data line. The ?-Si layer is used to serve as a discharging path for performing through breakdown to the ?-Si layer so as to eliminate electrostatic charges.

  • Patent number: 6018166
    Abstract: The present invention includes forming a conductive layer on a substrate. Portions of the conductive layer are removed using a first photoresist layer as a mask. A first oxide layer is formed over the conductive layer and the substrate, and an amorphous silicon layer is then formed on the first oxide layer. After annealing the amorphous silicon layer, thereby transforming amorphous silicon layer to a polysilicon layer, a second oxide layer is formed on the polysilicon layer. The second oxide layer is removed using a second photoresist layer as a mask. An amorphous silicon carbon layer is formed over the second oxide layer and the polysilicon layer, and a heavily-doped amorphous silicon carbon layer is formed on the amorphous silicon carbon layer.
