Abstract:
A thin film transistor, a method for fabricating the same, an array substrate, and a display panel are disclosed. The method includes: forming a semiconductor film comprising metallic elements, an etching stop film, and a source and drain film on a substrate in this order; and forming a pattern comprising an active layer, an etching stop layer, and a source and drain on the active layer by using a same mask plate, wherein the etching stop layer electrically connects the source and drain with the active layer. Since an etching stop film is formed on a semiconductor film comprising metallic elements, during etching the metal layer, the etching stop film can protect the semiconductor film comprising metallic elements from being etched, and this ensures the performance of the resultant active layer.

Claim (Index 11):
A thin film transistor, comprising a substrate, a semiconductor active layer comprising metallic elements on the substrate, a source and drain on the active layer, and an etching stop layer between the source and the active layer and between the drain and the active layer, wherein the etching stop layer electrically connects the source and the drain with the active layer.
