Abstract

A six mask-steps method for fabricating liquid crystal display is described. A driving area and a pixel area are defined by a first mask step. Gates on the driving/pixel area and upper electrodes of capacitors on the pixel area are defined by a second mask step. Then, using the gates and the upper electrodes as a mask, a source/drain, channel region and lower electrode are formed in the driving/pixel area by an ion-doping process. A second insulation layer is formed and covers the insulation substrate. A plurality of first openings is formed by the third mask step and the gate and the source/drain are exposed. A second conductive layer is formed and covers the second insulation layer and the first opening is filled. Then, the second conductive layer is patterned, and a source/drain line is formed and contacts electrically with the source/drain by the fourth mask step. A dielectric layer is formed and covers the second insulation layer and the second conductive layer; the dielectric layer has a planar surface. A second opening is formed by the fifth mask step and the drain line on the pixel area is exposed. Finally, a pixel electrode is defined by the sixth mask step and contacts el…
