  • Patent number: 8159627
    Abstract: Disclosed is a pixel layout structure capable of increasing the capability of detecting amorphous silicon (a-Si) residue defects and a method for manufacturing the same. Wherein, an a-Si dummy layer is disposed on either one side or both sides of each data line. The design of such an a-Si dummy layer is utilized, so that in an existing testing conditions (by making use of an existing automatic array tester in carrying out the test), in case that there exists an a-Si residue in a pixel, the pixel having defects can be detected through an enhanced capacitance coupling effect and an electron conduction effect. Therefore, through the application of the above-mentioned design, the capability of an automatic array tester can effectively be increased in detecting a defective pixel having a-Si residues.

  • Patent number: 7145172
    Abstract: A thin film transistor array substrate of a thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) is provided. The gate dielectric layer of the TFT includes a silicon nitride layer, a dielectric layer and a silicon nitride layer, and the etching selectivity of the amorphous silicon layer over the dielectric layer is not less than about 5.0. Therefore, the dielectric layer can be an etching stop layer when doped and undoped amorphous silicon layers are etched to form source/drain stacked layers or a conductive layer is etched to form a gate on the gate dielectric layer. Hence, the dielectric layer thickness can be controlled, and thereby the capacitance of the storage capacitor can be controlled.
