Method of fabricating array substrate

Abstract

A method of fabrication an array substrate includes forming an oxide semiconductor layer on a substrate; sequentially forming a gate insulating layer and a gate electrode corresponding to a central portion of the oxide semiconductor layer; forming source and drain areas having conductive properties in the oxide semiconductor layer by performing hydrogen plasma treatment; forming barrier layers on the source and drain areas, the barrier layer having a first thickness; forming an inter insulating layer on the gate electrode and having first contact holes that expose the barrier layers; and forming source and drain electrodes on the inter insulating layer and contacting the barrier layers through the first contact holes, respectively.
