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 invention relates to a thin film transistor and a manufacturing method thereof, in particular to a thin film transistor in which the range of the channel layer is narrowed to the range of the gate and the manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] Active matrix thin film transistor liquid crystal displays (Active matrix TFT-LCD, AMLCD) have been gradually replacing traditional cathode ray tube (cathode ray tube, CRT) displays due to their advantages such as lightness and thinness. The size and display quality requirements of AM LCD are also increasing day by day. With the improvement of the resolution of the liquid crystal display, the number of scanning lines also increases accordingly. Under the same 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 more demanding. Be stricter. As for the structure o...
