Abstract

A thin film transistor array substrate includes a substrate, a gate wire with a gate line and a gate electrode formed on the substrate, a gate insulating layer covering the gate wire, and a semiconductor pattern formed on the gate insulating layer. A data wire is formed on the gate insulating layer and the semiconductor pattern with a data line, and a source electrode and a drain electrode. The data wire bears a multiple-layered structure having a metallic layer and an intermetallic compound layer. A protective layer is formed on the data wire and the semiconductor pattern. A pixel electrode is formed on the protective layer while contacting the drain electrode through a contact hole.
