2. Description of the Related Art Flat panel display devices such as a liquid crystal display (LCD) and an organic light emitting display (OLED) have recently become common gate electrodes for reducing the resistance of these display devices, A separate auxiliary electrode is used in addition to the data electrode.
However, according to the addition of the auxiliary electrode, an additional etching process is required to etch the auxiliary electrode, thereby complicating the process and increasing the cost. In addition, the source and the drain of the thin film transistor (TFT) When auxiliary electrodes are stacked together in the drain region, there is a problem that the thickness of these layers is increased and a problem of step coverage with a semiconductor layer having a relatively thin thickness occurs, resulting in disconnection of the semiconductor layer or increase of resistance.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in order to solve the problems of the prior art described above, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a semiconductor thin film transistor capable of improving step coverage by auxiliary electrodes while reducing the number of process steps, And to provide the above-mentioned objects.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a semiconductor thin film transistor including a substrate, first and second auxiliary electrodes formed on the substrate with an oxide insulating film interposed therebetween, and source and drain electrodes formed on the first and second auxiliary electrodes, And an active layer formed over the source electrode and the drain electrode, a gate insulating film formed on the active layer, and a gate electrode formed in a region corresponding to the active layer on the gate insulating layer And the oxide insulating film is a film formed by oxidizing the metal layer formed on the substrate.
The array substrate of the present invention includes the semiconductor thin film transistor, a data line and a gate line formed so as to cross each other on the substrate, and a pixel formed in a crossing region where the data line and the gate line cross each other.
The display device of the present invention includes the array substrate.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of manufacturing a semiconductor thin film transistor, comprising: forming a metal layer on a substrate; forming a source electrode and a drain electrode on the metal layer; Forming an active layer on the source electrode and the drain electrode; forming a gate insulating film on the active layer; forming a gate insulating film on the gate insulating film; And forming a gate electrode in a region corresponding to the active layer.
According to the present invention, it is possible to omit the etching process for forming the auxiliary electrode contacting the source electrode and the drain electrode under the source electrode and the drain electrode, thereby simplifying the manufacturing process and reducing the manufacturing cost.
In addition, since the height of the oxide insulating film can be made approximately equal to the height of the source and drain electrodes by the expansion due to the oxidation of the metal layer in the oxidation process of the metal layer formed on the substrate, in the step of forming the active layer, It is possible to minimize disconnection of the active layer due to step coverage and increase in contact resistance.
