Thin film transistor and manufacturing method thereof

Abstract

A thin film transistor includes a substrate, a gate electrode disposed on the substrate, a channel layer located on the gate electrode, a gate insulation layer disposed between the gate electrode and the channel layer, an etching stop layer disposed on the channel layer, and a source electrode and a drain electrode disposed on the etching stop layer. The gate electrode has multiple through holes, the etching stop layer has multiple contact holes overlapped with the through holes in a direction perpendicular to the substrate, and the source and drain electrodes are respectively electrically connected to the channel layer through the contact holes. A method of manufacturing the thin film transistor, where the contact holes in the etching stop layer are formed by backside exposure using the gate electrode as a mask. A conductivity of a region of the channel layer exposed by the contact holes has a great conductivity.
