ABSTRACT:
A thin film transistor (TFT) array substrate and a method for fabricating the thin film transistor (TFT) array substrate is disclosed, wherein a passivation layer is directly subjected to exposing and patterning processes without using any photoresist, thereby simplifying the fabrication process and ensuring reduced preparation costs. In particular, the method comprises a thin film transistor (TFT) array comprising: forming a gate line and a gate electrode on a substrate; forming a semiconductor layer to be insulated from the gate electrode, and overlapped with a portion of the gate electrode; forming a source electrode and a drain electrode on both sides of the semiconductor layer, respectively, while forming a data line intersecting with the gate line; forming a passivation layer over an entire upper surface of the substrate including the source electrode and the drain electrode using a sol compound of a metal alkoxide having a photosensitive group X and a silicon alkoxide having a photosensitive group Y; light-exposing and developing the passivation layer to form a contact hole through which the drain electrode is exposed; and forming a pixel electrode to be in contact with the drain electrode through the contact hole.
