ABSTRACT:
A number of minuscule LDD thin film transistors with high precision are arranged on a substrate for use in a liquid crystal display apparatus or other similar devices. The gate electrode is used as a mask at the time of injecting impurities into the semiconductor layer. To realize an LDD structure, the impurities are injected in two installments. The size of the gate electrode is changed in accordance with the length of the LDD regions between the first and second injections. The size of the gate electrode is changed by means of metal oxidation or dry etching. For precision dry etching of the gate electrode, various ideas are put into forming the photo resist.
