Patent ID: 7576809

Claim:
A fabricating method of an array substrate for a liquid crystal display device, comprising: forming a gate line on a substrate; forming a gate insulator on the gate line; forming an ohmic contact layer on the gate insulator; forming a data line and source and drain electrodes on the ohmic contact layer, the source electrode being connected to the data line, the source and drain electrodes facing and spaced apart from each other; forming a passivation layer having a contact hole on the data line and the source and drain electrodes, the contact hole exposing a portion of a side edge surface of the drain electrode, the contact hole defined through the passivation layer and the gate insulator; forming a pixel electrode on the passivation layer, the pixel electrode being connected to the drain electrode through the contact hole; and forming a storage capacitor including a portion of the gate line as a first storage electrode, a portion of the gate insulator, and a second storage electrode having an island shape, wherein the second storage electrode is disposed directly contacting the gate insulator.
