Abstract: A thin film transistor is provided. The thin film transistor disposed on a substrate includes a gate electrode, a gate dielectric layer, a patterned semiconductor layer, a source electrode, a drain electrode covered with an anticorrosive conductive layer, a patterned passivation layer and a transparent conductive layer. The anticorrosive conductive layer includes indium tin oxide or indium zinc oxide, and is used to prevent the drain electrode from being over etched during the process of etching the passivation layer. A method for manufacturing the thin film transistor is also provided herein.

Abstract: A semiconductor device and its manufacturing method are disclosed. The nitrogen flow is gradually changed to form a semiconductor device with a gate or a source/drain having a nitrified gradient layer structure. Different extents of nitrification inside the nitrified gradient layer structure provide protection and buffering to prevent the undercut after etching due to different materials in the multilayer structure or the interface effect.

Abstract: A thin film transistor including a gate, a gate insulating layer, a semiconductor layer, a source electrode and a drain electrode is provided. The gate is disposed over a substrate, wherein the gate comprises at least one layer of aluminum-yttrium alloy nitride. The gate insulating layer is formed over the substrate to cover the gate. The semiconductor layer is disposed over the gate insulating layer above the gate. The source electrode and the drain electrode are disposed over the semiconductor layer.

Abstract: A plasma sputtering target assembly and a method therefor are provided. The sputtering target assembly includes a target, a bonding layer having a plurality of particles and having a first side bonded with the target and second side, and a backplate bonded with the second side of the bonding layer. The particles are being provided when the backplate is heated. Alternatively, a plurality of protrusions is formed on the backplate and the bonding layer is larger than or equal to the protrusions in altitude. Since the bonding layer has a composition and sputter yield of the part different from that of the target, in sputtering, the bonding layer is made exposed to plasma and thus an exceptional discharging phenomenon is caused when the target is struck through. By detecting the phenomenon, whether the target is almost over-sputtered may be forecasted and the backplate may be prevented from being struck through.

Abstract: A magnetron sputtering process is provided. First, a reaction chamber including a substrate base, a target comprised of Al or its alloy or other metals or their alloy with higher melting point, and a magnetron device. Next, a substrate is disposed onto the substrate base. The pressure within the reaction chamber is set from 0.1 pa˜0.35 pa, and then a sputtering process is initiated within the reaction chamber to deposit a film on the substrate. Because the pressure within the reaction chamber is set from 0.1 pa˜0.35 pa, a better step coverage can be achieved during the sputtering process so that a continuous film can be deposited on the substrate without the broken or defective climbing portion of the film. Therefore, the yield of film deposition on the substrate can also be significantly increased.
