Abstract:
1. A metal oxide thin film transistor (TFT) comprising: a gate electrode formed on a substrate; a gate insulating layer formed on the substrate and covering the gate electrode; a metal oxide active layer formed on the gate insulating layer; and a source electrode and a drain electrode formed on two opposite ends of the metal oxide active layer in a spaced-apart manner and defining a gap, wherein at least one of an orthographic projection of the source electrode and an orthographic projection of the drain electrode on the substrate does not overlap the gate electrode, wherein the metal oxide active layer has a top surface, the top surface is located on the gap between the source electrode and the drain electrode, the source electrode and the drain electrode respectively have lateral surfaces facing each other, and the top surface are in direct contact with the lateral surfaces and are substantially perpendicular to the lateral surfaces.
