Abstract:
A method of providing a conducting structure over a substrate, which comprises: disposing a lower sub-layer over a substrate, the lower sub-layer comprising a conductive metal oxide material that includes indium and zinc, wherein the indium and zinc content in the bottom sub-layer substantially defines a first indium to zinc content ratio; performing a first hydrogen treatment over an exposed surface of the lower sub-layer for introducing hydrogen content therein; disposing a middle sub-layer over the lower sub-layer, the middle sub-layer comprising a metal material; disposing an upper sub-layer over the middle sub-layer, the upper sub-layer comprising a conductive metal oxide material that includes indium and zinc, wherein the indium and the zinc content in the upper sub-layer substantially defines a second indium to zinc content ratio smaller than the first indium to zinc content ratio; and patterning the multi-layered conductive structure to generate a composite lateral etch profile.

Claim (Index 34):
The method of  claim 32 , wherein patterning the lower sub-layer, the middle sub-layer, and upper sub-layer comprises defining a source electrode and a drain electrode of a semiconductor device, wherein the indium-to-zinc content ratio differentiation between the lower sub-layer and the upper sub-layer affects a generation of a substantially smooth and tapered lateral etch profile between the source electrode and the drain electrode.
