Abstract:
1. A method of fabricating a liquid crystal display device, comprising: performing a first mask process to form a gate line, a gate pad, and a gate electrode on a substrate; performing a second mask process to form an gate insulating layer and an active layer on the gate electrode; performing a third mask process to form a pixel electrode that contacts the active layer; and performing a fourth mask process to form an oxide layer, a source electrode and a drain electrode on the active layer, wherein a portion of the pixel electrode is overlapped with an adjacent gate line to form an auxiliary storage capacitance, wherein, only the gate insulating layer is disposed between the pixel electrode and the adjacent gate line, and wherein the oxide layer is formed only in a region of the active layer where the active layer is exposed by plasma process.
