TFT-LCD array substrate and method of manufacturing the same
First Claim
1. An array substrate of thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) comprising gate lines and data lines, in which pixel electrodes and thin film transistors are formed within the pixel region defined by the gate lines and the data lines, wherein a barrier layer pattern is disposed between a semiconductor layer pattern and an ohmic contact layer pattern in the thin film transistor for preventing the semiconductor layer pattern from being etched, wherein an area of the barrier layer pattern is smaller than an area of the semiconductor layer pattern so that the ohmic contact layer pattern is in contact with the semiconductor layer pattern.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing an array substrate of TFT-LCD. The method includes the following steps. In step 1, a gate metal thin film is deposited on a substrate and patterned into gate electrodes and gate lines by a first patterning process. In step 2, a gate insulation layer, a semiconductor layer and a barrier layer are subsequently deposited on the resultant structure of step 1 and are patterned into gate insulation layer pattern, semiconductor layer pattern and barrier layer pattern by a second patterning process, wherein the barrier layer is used for preventing the semiconductor layer at the TFT channel from being etched. In step 3, an ohmic contact layer, a transparent conductive layer, a source drain metal layer and a passivation layer are subsequently deposited on the resultant structure of step 2, and are patterned into ohmic contact layer pattern, pixel electrodes, data lines, source electrodes, drain electrodes and passivation layer pattern in a patterning process.
