ABSTRACT:
A method and resulting structure is described for fabricating a thin film transistor which very effectively uses ITO as its transparent electrode. The method begins by providing a suitable substrate and forming thereover a polysilicon layer. A gate insulator layer is formed upon the polysilicon layer. A gate electrode layer is formed over the gate insulator layer. The gate electrode and gate insulator layers are then patterned to leave the desired gate insulator and gate electrode for the thin film transistor. An insulating layer is formed over the top surface of the structure. The isolating layer is patterned to provide openings to the designated source/drain regions of the thin film transistor. A conductive layer is deposited to make electrical contact to the source/drain regions of the thin film transistor. A silicon nitride passivation layer is formed over the conductive layer. The silicon nitride passivation layer is patterned to leave portions of the conductive layer open. The indium tin oxide (ITO) layer is deposited over the open portions of the conductive layer. The advantages of the process are to avoid the etching of the aluminium layer by the ITO etching process, avoid the ITO damage by the plasma enhanced silicon nitride process, and the solution of the poor adhesion between aluminium to ITO.
