Abstract

The present invention relates to a simplified method of fabricating a thin film transistor (TFT), including the steps of preparing a first conductive type TFT including a first semiconductor layer and a first gate electrode and a second conductive type TFT including a second semiconductor layer and a second gate electrode on a substrate; doping the first and second semiconductor layers with a first conductive type impurity using the first and second gate electrodes as a mask; forming a doping mask covering the first conductive type TFT; counter-doping the second semiconductor layer with a second conductive type impurity using the doping mask and the second gate electrode as masks; and forming a CMOS TFT by electrically connecting the first conductive type TFT to the second conductive type TFT.
