Abstract: The Mo or MoW composition layer has the low resistivity less than 15 &mgr;&OHgr;cm and is etched to have a smooth taper angle using an Al alloy etchant or a Cr etchant, and the Mo or MoW layer is used for a wiring of a display or a semiconductor device along with an Al layer and a Cr layer. Since the Mo or MoW layer can be deposited so as to give low stress to the substrate by adjusting the deposition pressure, a single MoW layer can used as a wiring by itself. When contact holes are formed in the passivation layer or the gate insulating layer, a lateral etch is reduced by using a polymer layer, an etch gas system CF4+O2 can prevent the etch of the Mo or MoW alloy layer, and an etch gas SF6+HCl(+He) or SF6+Cl2(+He) can form the edge profile of contact holes to be smoothed.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display has wires made of aluminum alloy layer, and two molybdenum-tungsten alloy layers MoW located on/under the aluminum alloy layer, respectively. To form a wire, the first molybdenum-tungsten alloy layer, the aluminum alloy layer, and the second molybdenum-tungsten alloy layer are sequentially deposited. The molybdenum-tungsten alloy layer has different etch rates for one etchant, depending on the deposition temperature and tungsten content ratio. Particularly, since the molybdenum-tungsten alloy layer has an etch rate similar to that of an aluminum layer and aluminum alloy layer for an aluminum etchant CH.sub.3 COOH/HNO.sub.3 /H.sub.3 PO.sub.4 /H.sub.2 O.

Abstract: Since Mo or MoW layer can be deposited so as to give low stress to the substrate by adjusting the deposition pressure, a single Mo or MoW layer can be used as a wiring by itself of large scale and high resolution liquid crystal. The Mo or MoW layer has the low resistivity of less than 15 .mu..OMEGA.cm and is etched to have a smooth taper angle using an Al etchant with Al or Al alloy. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the number of photolithography processes and to prevent a battery effect and generation of a hillock.
