  • Patent number: 8288768
    Abstract: A thin film transistor using an oxide semiconductor as an active layer, and its method of manufacture. The thin film transistor includes: a substrate; an active layer formed of an oxide semiconductor; a gate insulating layer formed of a dielectric on the active layer, the dielectric having an etching selectivity of 20 to 100:1 with respect to the oxide semiconductor; a gate electrode formed on the gate insulating layer; an insulating layer formed on the substrate including the gate electrode and having contact holes to expose the active layer; and source and drain electrodes connected to the active layer through the contact holes. Since the source and drain electrodes are not overlapped with the gate electrode, parasitic capacitance between the source and drain electrodes and the gate electrode is minimized. Since the gate insulating layer is formed of dielectric having a high etching selectivity with respect to oxide semiconductor, the active layer is not deteriorated.

  • Publication number: 20120153278
    Abstract: A thin film transistor (TFT) using an oxide semiconductor as an active layer, a method of manufacturing the TFT, and a flat panel display device having the TFT include a gate electrode formed on a substrate; an active layer made of an oxide semiconductor and insulated from the gate electrode by a gate insulating layer; source and drain electrodes coupled to the active layer; and an interfacial stability layer formed on one or both surfaces of the active layer. In the TFT, the interfacial stability layer is formed of an oxide having a band gap of 3.0 to 8.0 eV. Since the interfacial stability layer has the same characteristic as a gate insulating layer and a passivation layer, chemically high interface stability is maintained. Since the interfacial stability layer has a band gap equal to or greater than that of the active layer, charge trapping is physically prevented.
