Abstract

A thin film transistor and a method which forms a channel region (c), a lightly doped drain region (LDD) region and, optionally, an offset region (o), in a portion of a semiconductor layer which is adjacent a sidewall of the gate electrode without the use of photo masks, thereby increasing the permissible degree of miniaturization and improving production yield.
