Abstract

PURPOSE:To lower the resistance value at the junctures of gate wirings and Cr layer by forming the gate wiring terminals of the Cr layer and forming a barrier layer consisting of Ti (titanium) or Ti alloy between said layer and the gate wiring. CONSTITUTION:The gate wiring terminals of the top stagger type amorphous silicon thin-film transistor array formed with the gate wiring consisting of Al are formed of the Cr layer 2 and the barrier layer 3 consisting of the Ti or Ti alloy is formed between the gate wiring 4 and the Cr layer 2. The interdiffusion of the Al and the Cr is, therefore, eliminated and since no alloys are formed, the resistance value does not increase at the junctures between the Cr layer 2 and the barrier layer 3 as well as the gate wiring 4. The resis tance value from the gate wiring terminals to a-SiTFT (thin-film transistor) is thereby maintained at low resistance and signals are faithfully transmitted.

By the way, Al used for the gate wiring 4 and Cr used for the gate wiring terminal 8 are easily alloyed at a temperature of about 300'C, and Cr A 17 is formed. This Cr
Al 7 is a substance with extremely high resistivity, and the sheet resistance of the connection portion between the gate wiring 4 and the Cr layer 2 becomes extremely high. Therefore, the resistance value from the gate wiring terminal 8 to the a-3i TFT connected to the gate wiring 4 is a high resistance value determined mostly by the resistance value of the connection portion between the gate wiring 4 and the Cr layer 2. Therefore, from the external circuit to the gate wiring terminal 8
The signals applied to the TPTs were not faithfully transmitted to each TPT, which caused a serious problem in circuit operation.
