Abstract:
A thin film transistor (TFT) includes a substrate, a semiconductor pattern on the substrate, the semiconductor pattern including an active region, and source and drain regions opposite to each other at respective sides of the active region, a first insulating layer on the active region, a gate electrode on the first insulating layer, the gate electrode overlapping the active region, a second insulating layer on a front surface of the substrate having the gate electrode formed thereon, the second insulating layer including contact holes through which portions of the respective source and drain regions are exposed, and source and drain electrodes formed on the second insulating layer, the source and drain electrodes being respectively coupled to the source and drain regions through the contact holes.
