Problems solved by technology

Especially when the thin film transistor 10 is turned off and there is no current conduction between the source electrode 17 and the drain electrode 18, a photocurrent is easily generated between the source electrode 17 and the drain electrode 18 after part of the amorphous silicon channel layer 14 is irradiated with light, And there is the disadvantage of light leakage

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a thin film transistor and a manufacturing method thereof, in particular to a thin film transistor with a channel layer narrowed to a gate range and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] Because Active matrix TFT-LCD (AMLCD) has characteristics such as lightness and thinness, it has gradually replaced traditional cathode ray tube (CRT) displays. The demand for the size and display quality of AM LCDs is also increasing. As the resolution of liquid crystal displays increases, the number of scanning lines also increases. Under the same frame time (frame time), the time for each scan line to be selected is also shortened, so the requirements for the switching characteristics of the thin film transistor (TFT) in each pixel are becoming more and more demanding. Tighter. As for the structure of the conventional thin film transistor, the drawings are described as follows. [0003] Please refer to figure 1 , ...
