    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing an array substrate of TFT-LCD. The method includes the following steps. In step 1, a gate metal thin film is deposited on a substrate and patterned into gate electrodes and gate lines by a first patterning process. In step 2, a gate insulation layer, a semiconductor layer and a barrier layer are subsequently deposited on the resultant structure of step 1 and are patterned into gate insulation layer pattern, semiconductor layer pattern and barrier layer pattern by a second patterning process, wherein the barrier layer is used for preventing the semiconductor layer at the TFT channel from being etched. In step 3, an ohmic contact layer, a transparent conductive layer, a source drain metal layer and a passivation layer are subsequently deposited on the resultant structure of step 2, and are patterned into ohmic contact layer pattern, pixel electrodes, data lines, source electrodes, drain electrodes and passivation layer pattern in a patterning process.
