Thin film transistor having double-layered gate electrode and method of manufacturing the thin film transistor

摘要

A thin film transistor (TFT) that can prevent damage to a silicon layer under a gate electrode in an annealing process by using a first gate electrode having high thermal resistance and a second gate electrode having high reflectance and a method of manufacturing the TFT are provided. The method of manufacturing a TFT includes forming a double-layered gate electrode which includes a first gate electrode formed of a material having high thermal resistance and a second gate electrode formed of a metal having high optical reflectance on the first gate electrode, and forming a source and a drain by annealing doped regions on both sides of a silicon layer under the gate electrode by radiating a laser beam onto the entire upper surface of the silicon layer.
