Thin film transistor, preparation method thereof, array substrate and display device

Abstract

The invention provides a thin film transistor, a preparation method thereof, an array substrate and a display device. The thin film transistor comprises a substrate, an active layer and a first source-drain electrode, wherein the active layer and the first source-drain electrode are arranged on the substrate. The first source-drain electrode is connected with the active layer. The first source-drain electrode in direct contact with the active layer is arranged, wherein a gate and the first source-drain electrode share the same thickness and material. Compared with the prior art, the thin filmtransistor has the advantages that an LDD region between the first source-drain electrode and the active layer is not needed; the total resistance between the source-drain electrode and the active layer no longer includes the resistance of the LDD region; and the resistance between the source-drain electrode and the active layer is effectively reduced. The first source-drain electrode can effectively shield side light, which can further improve the TFT illumination stability. Due to the fact that the gate and the first source-drain electrode share the same thickness and material, the gate andthe first source-drain electrode can be simultaneously formed. The preparation process is simplified. The yield is improved. The cost is reduced.
