New description: [New technical field] This is a thin film transistor substrate, especially a metal oxide thin film transistor substrate that can prevent the data line from being electrically connected to the scan line. . [Prior Art] In recent years, the manufacture of thin film transistor substrates has become easier and faster due to advances in semiconductor process technology. • When manufacturing a thin film transistor substrate for a liquid crystal panel, in addition to forming a plurality of thin film transistors on the substrate, a plurality of scanning cat lines and a plurality of data lines are simultaneously formed. The scan line is used to control the switching of the thin film transistor; the data line transmits the data signal to the thin film transistor. As shown in Fig. 1, it is a structural cross-sectional view of a crossover of a scanning line and a data line of a conventional amorphous germanium thin film transistor (a-SiTFT) liquid crystal panel. A scan line 120 is formed on the substrate J process. Then, a gate insulating layer 130 is formed on the substrate n and covers the scan line 12A. Next, an amorphous germanium semiconductor layer 14 is formed on the gate insulating layer 130. Then, a data line 15 is formed on the gate insulating layer 130, and covers the amorphous germanium semiconductor layer 140. Finally, a passivation layer 160 is formed on the gate insulating layer 130, and the data line 15 is covered. Since the formation of the gate insulating layer 130 at the corner of the scan line 12〇 may be poor, it is easy to cause the gate insulating layer 13 to be poorly covered at the corner of the scan line 12〇, which is called a climbing break. It will be possible to make the data line 15 〇 easily electrically connected to the Sweeping Cat Line 120. The prior art uses the amorphous germanium semiconductor layer 14() at the intersection of the data line 15A and the 3M434228 scan line 120 to prevent & slope breakage. However, if it is directed to another conventional liquid crystal panel, such as an indium gallium oxide thin film transistor (IGZO TFT) liquid crystal panel, the prior art is not suitable for using an indium gallium zinc oxide semiconductor layer at the intersection of the data line and the scan line. To prevent the phenomenon of climbing line breakage, because the ΜΗ* gas used in chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) in the formation process of the protective layer will release % doping, and the phenomenon that the steel gallium zinc oxide becomes a conductor . • Therefore, there is a need to provide a metal oxide thin film transistor substrate that prevents the data line from being electrically connected to the scan line to solve the aforementioned problems. [New content] The present invention provides a thin film transistor substrate, comprising: a substrate; a plurality of wires are formed on the substrate; a gate insulating layer is formed on the substrate and covers the scan lines a plurality of first etch stop layers formed on the gate insulating layer; a plurality of data lines formed on the gate insulating layer and respectively covering the first etch stop layers, wherein each of the materials A cross-slope area is defined at the intersection of the line and each of the scanning lines, and the first-last stop layer and the gate insulating layer are located in the data line and the sweep in the climbing area

In addition, in the formation of the thin film transistor, the semiconductor layer must also be opened on the semi-conductive layer to form a second stop layer, so that the first stop of the climbing region can be stopped with the second etching of the thin film transistor. The same reticle is formed with the same material to avoid an increase in process cost. The above and other objects, features, and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the accompanying drawings. [Embodiment] As shown in Fig. 2, a thin film transistor substrate according to an embodiment of the present invention is claimed. The thin film transistor substrate 200 includes a plurality of data lines 21A and a plurality of scanning lines 220. The area enclosed by each adjacent two data lines 21A and each adjacent two scanning lines 220 is defined as a single pixel 23〇. The intersection of each of the data lines 210 and each of the scanning lines 22 is defined as a climbing area 240. As shown in Fig. 3, it is a top view of a substrate of a thin germanium transistor substrate. The section of the AB line segment in Fig. 3 shows a cross-sectional view of the climbing section 240 in the AB section.

The second-spot stop layer 442 has a material that can retain the characteristics of the gallium-zinc oxide in the subsequent process. For example, if the SiH4 gas used in chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) in the formation process of the protective layer releases h2' The second surname stop layer 442 can protect the indium oxide oxide to prevent the indium gallium zinc oxide from becoming a conductor. A data line 21 is formed on the gate insulating layer 430 of the climbing area 240, and covers the first silver inscription. The stop layer 441; at the same time, a source 481 and a drain 482 are formed on the gate insulating layer 430 of the thin film transistor, and cover the metal oxide semiconductor layer 470. Since the data line 21, the source 481 and the gate 482 are The same material 'can therefore be completed by the same process. The material of the data line 210, the source 481 and the drain 482 is, for example, aluminum, chrome, button or other metal material. The forming method includes a thin film deposition process, a lithography process, and an etching process. Etc. Process, in which the etching process is divided into The dry-type engraving process using electropolymerization or the wet-wire engraving process of the engraving liquid is used. The data line 210 of the sloping area 240 and the source 481 of the thin film transistor 25 互相 are electrically connected to each other. A protective layer 450 is formed on the 430, and covers the data line 210, the source 481 and the gate 482. The material of the protective layer 45 is, for example, a vaporized germanium, and the method of forming is, for example, a plasma chemical vapor deposition method. A contact window 49A is formed over the gate 482 of the crystal 250, and a halogen electrode 420 is formed on the protective layer 450i. The germanium electrode 42 is electrically connected to the gate 482 through the contact window 490. The pixel electrode M434228 material is a metal halide or organic material such as indium tin oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide (ITO) or zinc oxide (ZnO), and the formation method thereof is, for example, sputtering, electroplating, Spin coating, printing, electroless plating or other suitable methods. Therefore, the thin film transistor substrate of the present invention has increased in the climbing area of the data line and the broom crossing.
