  • Patent number: 9437750
    Abstract: A method for forming a TFT includes providing a substrate, and forming a gate electrode, an electrically insulating layer, a semiconductor layer, an etch stop layer and a photoresist layer successively on the substrate. A photolithographic process is performed to the photoresist layer by using a half-tone mask to thereby configure the photoresist layer to have two recesses in a top thereof. Two lateral ends of the etch stop layer are etched away to form an etch stop pattern. The photoresist layer is heated to flow downwardly. Two lateral ends of the semiconductor channel are etched away to become a channel layer. An ashing is performed to the photoresist layer to have the recesses thereof communicate atmosphere with the etch stop pattern. The etch stop pattern is etched to define first and second through holes. Source and drain electrodes are formed to electrically connect with the channel layer.

  • Publication number: 20160190326
    Abstract: A method for forming a TFT includes providing a substrate, a gate electrode on the substrate, an electrically insulating layer on the substrate to totally cover the gate electrode, a channel layer on the electrically insulating layer, a first photoresist pattern on the channel layer, a metal layer on the electrically insulating layer, the channel layer and the first photoresist layer, and a second photoresist pattern on the metal layer. A middle portion of the metal layer is then removed to form a source electrode and a drain electrode and to expose the first photoresist pattern and a portion of the channel layer between the first and second photoresist patterns. The exposed portion of the channel layer is then processed to have its electrical conductivity be lowered to thereby reduce a hot-carrier effect of the channel layer.
