  • Publication number: 20070145480
    Abstract: A method of forming an electrode of a semiconductor device is provided. A material layer comprising an organo-metallic compound is first formed on a substrate. Thereafter, an electrode is formed by irradiating the material layer through utilizing the heating property of laser. Next, the material layer is patterned by utilizing the photochemical or heating properties of laser using a laser. Because laser irradiation is substituted the traditional heating way, it can reduce process temperature. Furthermore, because the laser is used for patterning the material layer to form the electrode, therefore an electrode pattern with a greater precision may be obtained compared to that obtained by using the photolithography process.

  • Publication number: 20070059868
    Abstract: A method of TFT (Thin Film Transistor) manufacturing and a substrate structure are provided. The structure includes a substrate and a self-alignment mask. A self-alignment mask on a substrate is first manufactured and then the self-alignment mask may synchronously extend with the substrate during the thermal process. When an exposure light source is provided on the side without a TFT formed, the self-alignment mask can overcome the problem that when a plastic substrate extends, the positions of the source and drain to be formed on the plastic substrate are incorrect, which has a great effect on the accuracy of alignment. As the result, the positions of the source and drain can be defined accurately.
