Abstract:
A method of forming a data line for a pixel array, the method comprising the steps of:(a) forming a gate electrode on a substrate;(b) depositing a first dielectric layer so as to at least completely cover said gate electrode;(c) forming a layer of amorphous silicon over said dielectric layer, said layer of amorphous silicon having first and second opposite side portions;(d) forming a first layer of molybdenum over said amorphous silicon;(e) forming a layer of aluminum disposed in electrical contact with a portion of said first layer of molybdenum without the need of forming contact holes for said aluminum;(f) removing said first layer of molybdenum except for the portions of said first molybdenum layer disposed under said layer of aluminum; and(g) forming a second layer of molybdenum, said second layer of molybdenum having respective first and second portions with said first portion being disposed so as to completely cover said layer of aluminum and some of said amorphous silicon at said first opposite side portion thereof, and with the second portion covering said second opposite side portion of said amorphous silicon, said first and second portions of said second layer of molybdenum being spaced apart from each other to form a gap.
