  • Patent number: 6337234
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a thin film transistor (TFT), liquid crystal display (LCD) and fabricating methods thereof, and more particularly to a TFT having source/drain lines on which an insulating layer and an active layer are located lie on an insulated substrate, to an LCD using the TFT and fabricating methods of the TFT and LCD. The TFT has a BBC (Buried Bus Coplanar) structure by forming a source/drain line on a substrate and by forming a buffer layer which covers the source/drain line which simplifies the process by means of reducing the number of deposition steps. The BBC structure of TFT has a source/drain line on a substrate, an insulating layer covering the source/drain line and the entire disclosed surface and a coplanar structure on the insulating layer. The present invention also provides a data line in the TFT of the BBC structure having low resistance applicable to a wide-screen by means of forming both the buffer layer and the source/drain line with a sufficient thickness.
