Abstract

A structure for forming thin film transistor with reduced metal impurities. The structure at least includes the following steps. First of all, an insulation substrate. Then, an insulating gettering layer on the insulation substrate, wherein the amorphous silicon layer defines an active area, and a channel region on the insulating gettering layer, a source region on the insulating gettering layer adjacent to the channel region, a drain region on the insulating gettering layer adjacent to the channel region and opposite to the source region, and a gate on the channel region, wherein the source, drain, insulating gettering layer and channel region are components of a transistor.
