The invention aims at the technical problem that the production cost of the thin film transistor substrate is higher due to more required manufacturing processes of the existing manufacturing method of the thin film transistor substrate, and the problem can be solved.
A method for manufacturing a thin film transistor substrate, as shown in fig. 1, includes:
s10, forming a first metal layer on the substrate;
s20, etching the first metal layer to form a grid;
s30, forming a gate insulating layer covering the gate on the substrate;
s40, forming a semiconductor layer on the gate insulating layer;
s50, forming a second metal layer on the semiconductor layer and the gate insulating layer;
s60, etching the second metal layer to form a source electrode, a drain electrode and a pixel electrode;
wherein the second metal layer is made of a transparent conductive material.
The second metal layer is formed by transparent conductive metal, so that the drain electrode can be directly extended to serve as a pixel electrode, and the source electrode, the drain electrode and the pixel electrode are formed through the same etching process, so that the manufacturing procedures are reduced, and the production cost, the manufacturing time and the complexity are reduced.
Note that the transparent conductive material is Indium Tin Oxide (ITO), Indium Zinc Oxide (IZO), or Indium Tin Zinc Oxide (ITZO).
Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, a first metal layer is formed on a substrate 10, and is patterned to form a patterned gate electrode 20, and then a gate insulating layer 30 covering the gate electrode 20 is formed on the substrate 10.
In the present preferred embodiment, the first metal layer is formed on the substrate 10 by a sputtering method; it should be noted that, in practical implementation, the first metal layer may also be formed by chemical vapor deposition or other physical deposition methods.
In the process of patterning the first metal layer to form the gate electrode 20, it is preferable to perform wet etching on the first metal layer by using a mixed solution of nitric acid, phosphoric acid, and acetic acid; it is to be understood that, in an implementation, the first metal layer may be wet etched in other manners, which are not listed here.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 3, after the semiconductor layer 40 is formed on the gate insulating layer 30, the semiconductor layer 40 is subjected to patterning.
In this embodiment, the semiconductor layer 40 may be an amorphous silicon layer deposited first, and then the amorphous silicon layer is subjected to a rapid thermal annealing step to recrystallize the amorphous silicon layer into a polysilicon layer.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 4, a second metal layer 50 is formed on the semiconductor layer 40 and the gate insulating layer 30, and the second metal layer 50 is made of a transparent conductive material.

Specifically, the thickness of the second metal layer 50 is greater than or equal to half of the thickness of the passivation layer 60.
It should be noted that, in practical applications, the resistance of the second metal layer 50 made of the transparent conductive material is found to be relatively large, and the thickness of the second metal layer 50 is increased, so that the impedance is reduced, and the passivation layer 60 is prevented from affecting the pixel electrode 53.

The second metal layer 50 is formed of a transparent conductive metal, so that the drain electrode 52 can be directly extended to serve as the pixel electrode 53, and the source electrode 51, the drain electrode 52 and the pixel electrode 53 are formed by the same etching process, thereby reducing the number of process steps, and reducing the production cost, the processing time and the complexity.
The transparent conductive material is indium tin oxide, indium zinc oxide, or indium tin zinc oxide.
Specifically, the thin film transistor substrate 10 further includes a passivation layer 60 disposed on the gate insulating layer 30 and covering the source electrode 51 and the drain electrode 52.
Specifically, the passivation layer 60 is provided with a through hole 70 exposing the pixel electrode 53.
Specifically, the thickness of the second metal layer 50 is greater than or equal to half of the thickness of the passivation layer 60.

In summary, although the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments, the above-described preferred embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention, and those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, therefore, the scope of the present invention shall be determined by the appended claims.
