  • Publication number: 20160190326
    Abstract: A method for forming a TFT includes providing a substrate, a gate electrode on the substrate, an electrically insulating layer on the substrate to totally cover the gate electrode, a channel layer on the electrically insulating layer, a first photoresist pattern on the channel layer, a metal layer on the electrically insulating layer, the channel layer and the first photoresist layer, and a second photoresist pattern on the metal layer. A middle portion of the metal layer is then removed to form a source electrode and a drain electrode and to expose the first photoresist pattern and a portion of the channel layer between the first and second photoresist patterns. The exposed portion of the channel layer is then processed to have its electrical conductivity be lowered to thereby reduce a hot-carrier effect of the channel layer.
