Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A liquid crystal display (LCD) device capable of preventing impurities from permeating into a channel area of a switching element, the LCD device including: a gate electrode above a substrate; a semiconductor layer which overlaps the gate electrode; a drain electrode and a source electrode which overlap the semiconductor layer; an ohmic contact layer between the semiconductor layer and the drain electrode and between the semiconductor layer and the source electrode; a pixel electrode which is connected to one of the drain electrode and the source electrode; and a gate insulating layer between the gate electrode and the semiconductor layer, the gate insulating layer comprising fluorine. A concentration of the fluorine is decreasing, as the fluorine of the gate insulating layer being more adjacent to the substrate.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A liquid crystal display device comprising: a gate electrode above a substrate; a semiconductor layer which overlaps the gate electrode; a drain electrode and a source electrode which overlap the semiconductor layer; an ohmic contact layer between the semiconductor layer and the drain electrode and between the semiconductor layer and the source electrode; a pixel electrode which is connected to one of the drain electrode and the source electrode; and a gate insulating layer between the gate electrode and the semiconductor layer, the gate insulating layer comprising fluorine, wherein a concentration of the fluorine is decreasing, as the fluorine of the gate insulating layer being more adjacent to the substrate, wherein a portion of gate insulating layer between a channel area of the semiconductor layer and the gate electrode includes a less concentration of the fluorine than other portions of gate insulating layer. 2. The liquid crystal display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the ohmic contact layer has an impurity concentration of about 2*1021 atom/cm3 or higher. 3. The liquid crystal display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the portion of the gate insulating layer does not include the fluorine. 4. The liquid crystal display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the ohmic contact layer contacts the gate insulating layer. 5. The liquid crystal display device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the ohmic contact layer comprises: a first ohmic contact layer between the drain electrode and the gate insulating layer, the first ohmic contact layer contacting the gate insulating layer; and a second ohmic contact layer between the source electrode and the gate insulating layer, the second ohmic contact layer contacting the gate insulating layer. 6. The liquid crystal display device as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the first ohmic contact layer is further disposed between the gate insulating layer and the data line which is connected to the drain electrode. 7. The liquid crystal display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the semiconductor layer has substantially the same thickness as a thickness of a thickest portion of a non-channel area of the semiconductor layer. 8. The liquid crystal display device as claimed in claim 7 , wherein a second surface of the semiconductor layer which is opposite to a first surface of the semiconductor layer is substantially flat, the first surface of the semiconductor layer facing the gate insulating layer.
