The invention relates to a TFT-LCD array baseplate and a manufacturing method thereof. The array baseplate comprises a grid wire and a data wire, wherein the grid wire and the data wire are formed on the baseplate, a pixel electrode and a thin film transistor are formed in a pixel region limited by the grid wire and the data wire, and the thin film transistor comprises a grid electrode, a grid insulating layer, a source electrode, a drain electrode, a doped semiconductor layer, a semiconductor layer and a passivation layer, wherein the grid electrode is formed on the baseplate, the grid insulating layer is formed on the grid electrode and covers the whole baseplate, the source electrode and the drain electrode are formed on the grid insulating layer, the doped semiconductor layer and the semiconductor layer are formed between the source electrode and the drain electrode in a transverse arrangement mode, and the passivation layer is formed on a structural graph. In the invention, the doped semiconductor layer and the semiconductor layer are arranged between the source electrode and the drain electrode in the transverse arrangement mode, thereby not only effectively reducing the internal segment difference and avoiding the rupture of a subsequently deposited thin film, but also reducing the thickness of the structural graph, reducing the box thickness and increasing the responsespeed of liquid crystals.
