Patent attributes
A method for fabricating a pixel structure is provided. First, a substrate having an active device formed thereon is provided. The active device has a gate, a gate dielectric layer, and a semiconductor layer having a channel, a source, and a drain region. Then, a dielectric layer is formed to cover the active device, and a photo-resist layer having a first photo-resist block and a second photo-resist block thinner than the first photo-resist block is formed on the dielectric layer. The second photo-resist block has openings above the source and the drain region, respectively. The source and the drain regions are exposed by removing part of the dielectric layer with the photo-resist layer as a mask. A second metal layer is formed after removing the second photo-resist block. A source and a drain are formed after removing the first photo-resist block. A pixel electrode connected to the drain is formed.
