Abstract:
1. A method of fabricating a thin film transistor comprising: forming an active layer on an insulating substrate; forming a gate insulation film on the insulating substrate; forming, in the active layer, a source region and a drain region separated from the source region by a channel region; forming a body contact region directly contacting the channel region in the active layer; forming a gate on the gate insulation film such that the channel region is formed between the gate and the insulating substrate; forming an interlayer insulation film on the insulating substrate; forming a source electrode electrically connected to the source region; forming a drain electrode electrically connected to the drain region; and forming a connection electrode on the interlayer insulating film, the connection electrode directly contacting the body contact region and one of the source electrode and the drain electrode.
