Abstract

An array substrate for a liquid crystal display device includes: a substrate; a gate electrode on the substrate; a gate insulating layer on the gate electrode; a semiconductor layer on the gate insulating layer; source and drain electrodes on the semiconductor layer, the source and drain electrodes including a copper layer as an upper layer and a barrier layer as a lower layer; a first passivation layer on the source and drain electrodes; a second passivation layer on the first passivation layer, the second passivation layer having a drain contact hole through the first passivation layer, the drain contact hole exposing the barrier layer; and a pixel electrode connected to the barrier layer through the drain contact hole.
