BACKGROUND ART In general, liquid crystal display devices have tended to be gradually widened due to their light weight, thinness, and low power consumption. Accordingly, the liquid crystal display device is widely used as a portable computer such as a notebook PC, office automation equipment, audio / video equipment, and the like.
In general, a liquid crystal display device displays a desired image on a screen by controlling the amount of light passing through the liquid crystal layer according to image signals applied to a plurality of control switching elements arranged in a matrix.
Amorphous silicon thin film transistors (a-Si TFTs) are mainly used as the control switching element. As described above, a liquid crystal display device employing an amorphous silicon thin film transistor as a switching element for controlling will be described. Is the same as

In order to solve the above disadvantages, a structure in which an etch stopper (E / S) is formed has been devised, but a number of masks are required in the manufacturing process to increase manufacturing costs.
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a thin film transistor and a method of manufacturing the same, which can achieve an ohmic contact between the actives and the source / drain electrodes and minimize the thickness of the active layer. To provide.

Characterized in that comprises a.
According to the present invention having the above-described configuration and manufacturing method, by forming a ohmic contact layer between the active layer and the source / drain electrodes with a metal oxide, the process of patterning the ohmic contact layer is performed by wet etching instead of dry etching. This can be achieved through the use of relatively inexpensive wet etching equipment, thereby reducing the process cost.
In addition, the etchant used for the wet etching has a large etching selectivity between the metal oxide and silicon, so that only the metal oxide is selectively removed when the etching is performed using the etchant, and the active layer is not removed. It can form, and there exists an effect which improves mobility.
