  • Publication number: 20030025444
    Abstract: A flat panel display device having a high capacitance and a high aperture ratio. A thin film transistor and a capacitor are formed on an insulating substrate. The thin film transistor includes a semiconductor layer, a gate electrode and source and drain electrodes. The capacitor has first and second capacitor electrodes and a dielectric layer. An insulating layer is formed over the transistor to insulate the gate electrode from the source and drain electrodes, and a portion of the insulating layer is formed as the dielectric layer between the first and second capacitor electrodes. A non-planar shape of the first capacitor electrode and a conforming shape of the dielectric layer and a second capacitor electrode increase a capacitance of the capacitor. The portion of the insulating layer serving as the capacitor dielectric is formed to be thinner than the portion of the insulating layer formed over the gate electrode.

  • Patent number: 5827760
    Abstract: A thin film transistor is fabricated by introducing a dopant into an indium tin oxide layer or a gate insulating layer by an ion shower doping technique. An a-Si semiconductor layer is then deposited on the surface of the substrate and subjected to a single exposure of laser light. The laser exposure or annealing diffuses dopant into the semiconductor layer and activates the dopant to form an ohmic layer of n-type or p-type conductivity polysilicon, and an intrinsic polysilicon layer. A metal layer and an indium tin oxide layer are formed to the side of a gate electrode to maintain an electrical connection even if a break is formed in the data bus line.
