Abstract:
An array substrate and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. The manufacturing method comprises: depositing a passivation material layer on a TFT layer, wherein the passivation material layer includes a first film layer and a second film layer made of different materials alternatively arranged; using a photoresist layer as a mask to etch the passivation material layer until the first film layer is exposed so as to form a patterned structure; depositing an ITO film on the photoresist layer and the exposed first film layer; and stripping the photoresist layer to form the array substrate. By using different materials with different etching speed, a greater gap between the boundary of the spacer and the boundary of the photoresist structure would be formed to facilitate the photoresist stripping process. Thereby, the stripping efficiency and the stripping uniformity can be enhanced to reduce the probability of photoresist residue.

Claim (Index 3):
The manufacturing method of  claim 1 , wherein before the step of using a photoresist layer as a mask to etch the passivation material layer until the first film layer is exposed, the manufacturing method further comprises:\n depositing a photoresist material layer on the passivation material layer; applying an exposure and development process to the photoresist material layer to form the photoresist layer including a plurality of photoresist structures spaced apart from each other.
