A method for fabricating an integrated circuit device includes the steps of forming first and second conductive regions on a substrate. The second conductive region is divided into first and second subregions wherein the first subregion is adjacent the first conductive region. More particularly, the surface area of the first subregion is not more than ten times greater than the surface area of the first conductive region. The first and second subregions can then be electrically connected to complete the second conductive region. Related structures are also discussed.

Integrated circuit devices providing reduced electric fields during fabrication thereof

Thin film transistor-liquid crystal display and a manufacturing method thereof

A method for manufacturing a polysilicon thin film transistor (TFT) according to the present invention reduces the electric field near the drain junction by varying partially the thickness of a gate insulating layer through a post oxide process. A polysilicon layer is patterned to become an active layer and a chemical vapor deposition oxide film deposited. By thermal oxidation a thermal oxide film is formed under the chemical vapor deposition oxide film. A gate electrode made of polysilicon is formed on the gate insulating layer. Thermal oxidation is performed to make the end portions of the thermal oxide film thicker than the portion under the gate electrode of the thermal oxide film. With this process, the electric field near the drain junction region is reduced and thus the leakage currents of the TFT decrease. In addition, the method in this invention is very simple compared with the conventional methods of obtaining a LDD structure and on-current is not reduced.
