MULTI-LAYER WIRING, METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE MULTI-LAYER WIRING, AND THIN FILM TRANSISTOR HAVING THE MULTI-LAYER WIRING

摘要

A multi-layer wiring for use with thin film transistors (TFTs), methods of manufacturing the multi-layer wiring, and TFTs employing the multi-layer wiring are provided. In one embodiment, the multi-layer wiring includes a main wiring and a sub-wiring on the main wiring. The main wiring includes a first metal and the sub-wiring includes an alloy wherein a majority of the alloy is the first metal. The multi-layer wiring can exhibit decreased electrical resistance and a reduced tendency to develop malfunctions such as hillocks or spiking. The multi-layer wiring can also exhibit improved contact characteristics with other conductive elements of TFT display devices.
