Abstract:
1. A method of fabricating a liquid crystal display device having an array substrate, comprising: forming a gate line on a substrate; forming a data line crossing the gate line and defining a pixel area; forming a thin film transistor connected to the gate line and the data line, the thin film transistor having a gate electrode connected to the gate line, a source electrode over the gate electrode and connected to the data line, a drain electrode spaced apart from the source electrode, and a semiconductor layer having an active layer over the gate electrode, a first extended portion and a neck region connecting the active layer and the first extended portion, wherein the first extended portion and the neck region correspond to the drain electrode, and wherein both sides of the neck region are completely covered with the drain electrode and parallel to an extended direction of the drain electrode toward the source electrode; and forming a pixel electrode in the pixel area, the pixel electrode electrically connected to the drain electrode.
