Abstract
Provided is a thin film device and an associated method of making a thin film device. For example, fabrication of an inverter thin film device is described. Moreover, a parallel spaced electrically conductive strips are provided upon a substrate. A functional material is deposited upon the conductive strips. A 3D structure is then provided upon the functional material, the 3D structure having a plurality of different heights, at least one height defining a first portion of the conductive strips to be bundled. The 3D structure and functional material are then etched to define a TFD disposed above the first portion of the conductive strips. The first portion of the conductive strips is bundled adjacent to the TFD.
