Abstract
A thin film transistor includes a first active layer formed on a substrate; a gate electrode formed on a center portion of the first active layer and having a lower side connected to the center portion of the first active layer; a second active layer electrically connected to the first active layer and formed on lateral sides and on an upper side of the gate electrode; and impurity regions formed at opposing lateral sides of the gate electrode. A method of manufacturing a thin film transistor includes the steps of forming a patterned layer on a substrate; forming a gate electrode which crosses the patterned layer; removing the patterned layer; forming a gate insulating film on a surface of the gate electrode including a portion of the gate electrode from which the patterned layer has been removed; forming an active layer which crosses the portion of the gate electrode from which the patterned layer has been removed and an upper portion of the gate electrode; and forming impurity regions at opposing lateral sides of the gate electrode.
