Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé caractérisé en ce qu’il comprend une étape consistant à former une première électrode (une source ou analogue) d’un transistor à couches minces sur un substrant isolant transparent en utilisant un alliage d’Al en tant que première électrode, une étape consistant à former un film isolant sur la première électrode et le substrat, une étape consistant à former un trou de contact dans le film isolant et une étape consistant à former une seconde électrode (une électrode transparente) sur le film isolant et connectant électriquement la seconde électrode avec la première électrode directement par l'intermédiaire du trou de contact ci-dessus. L’alliage d’Al ci-dessus comprend Ni et un ou plusieurs types de métal sélectionné parmi Mo, Nb, W et Zr. Le procédé ci-dessus peut être utilisé de manière appropriée pour réduire la résistance de contact dans la région de mise en contact d’une électrode transparente en tant que seconde électrode avec une première électrode (grille, source, drain) et pour inhiber la réaction de la pile galvanique.
