Patent number: 6376288Abstract: A method of forming a TFT structure is performed on a glass substrate. A first metal layer deposited on the glass substrate is patterned with a first mask to form a gate line and a gate electrode. Next, a gate insulating layer, a first semiconductor layer and an etch-stop layer are successively formed, and backside exposure patterns the etch-stop layer. Thus, the remaining part of the etch-stop layer is disposed over the gate electrode and the gate line. Next, a second semiconductor layer and a second metal layer are successively formed, and then the second metal layer is patterned with a second mask to form a data line perpendicular to the gate line. Thereafter, the second semiconductor layer and the first semiconductor layer not covered by the second metal layer are removed.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2001Date of Patent: April 23, 2002Assignee: Hannstar Display Corp.Inventors: Tean-Sen Jen, Te-Cheng Chung, Ming-Tien Lin
