Abstract:
A method for fabricating a thin film transistor includes providing a substrate ( 100 ); forming a semiconductor layer ( 105 ) over the substrate ( 100 ); forming a source-drain metal layer ( 106 ) over the semiconductor layer ( 105 ); applying one patterning process to the semiconductor layer ( 105 ) and the source-drain metal layer ( 106 ) to form an active layer ( 1 ), a source electrode ( 2 ), and a drain electrode ( 3 ); forming a gate insulating layer ( 101 ) and an interlayer insulating layer ( 102 ) that cover the active layer ( 1 ), the source electrode ( 2 ), and the drain electrode ( 3 ); applying a patterning process to the interlayer insulating layer ( 102 ) to form a first window ( 10 ) in the interlayer insulating layer ( 102 ) to expose a portion of the gate insulating layer ( 101 ); and forming a gate electrode ( 4 ) in the first window ( 10 ). An orthogonal projection of the gate electrode ( 4 ) on the substrate ( 100 ) is in an orthogonal projection of the active layer ( 1 ) on the substrate ( 100 ).

Claim (Index 8):
A thin film transistor, comprising:\n a substrate; an active layer over the substrate; a source electrode and a drain electrode over the substrate, wherein:\n the source electrode and the drain electrode are disposed over a surface of the active layer facing away from the substrate, and \n orthogonal projections of the source electrode and the drain electrode on the substrate are in an orthogonal projection of the active layer on the substrate; \n a gate insulating layer covering the active layer, the source electrode, and the drain electrode; an interlayer insulating layer over the gate insulating layer, the interlayer insulating layer having a first window exposing a portion of the gate insulating layer; and a gate electrode in the first window, an orthogonal projection of the gate electrode on the substrate being located in the orthogonal projection of the active layer on the substrate.
