  • Patent number: 7763942
    Abstract: A pixel structure and a fabrication method thereof are provided, wherein a semiconductor pattern and a data line are defined simultaneously by performing a half-tone or grey-tone masking process. In addition, a self-alignment manner is further adopted to fabricate a lightly doped region with symmetric lengths on two sides of a channel region through steps such as photoresist ashing and etching, so as to prevent the problem of misalignment of mask generated when a mask is used to define the lightly doped region in the conventional art. Furthermore, a source pattern and a drain pattern are made to directly contact a source region and a drain region of the semiconductor pattern, such that a process of fabricating a via is omitted. Besides, in the present invention, a common line pattern surrounding the peripheral of the pixel region is also formed to improve the aperture ratio of the pixel structure.

  • Patent number: 7064017
    Abstract: A method of forming a CMOS transistor on a substrate is provided, wherein the method requires only two implanting procedures to form all source/drain and light doped region. First, the source/drain of an NMOS transistor is formed by using a photoresist layer which covers up the source/drain of a PMOS transistor as a mask with a phosphorus dopant being implanted into. Next, the lightly doped region of an NMOS transistor and the source/drain of a PMOS transistor are formed by using a photoresist layer which covers up the source/drain of an NMOS transistor as well as the gate as masks with a boron dopant being implanted into. Of which, the dosage of the boron dopant is smaller than that of the phosphorus dopant.
