3,538 citations – Thin film transistor having an etching protection film and manufacturing method thereof.
Date of Patent: Jun. 10, 2008

Inventors: Hiromitsu IshiiHitoshi HokariMotohiko YoshidaIkuhiro Yamaguchi.

The thin-film transistor includes a semiconductor thin film, a gate-insulating film, and a gate electrode on one surface of the semiconductor thin film. It also has a source electrode and a drain electrode connected to the semiconductor thin film. The transistor features an insulating film around the source and drain regions, with contact holes exposing parts of these regions. The source and drain electrodes connect to the semiconductor thin film through these contact holes.
