Abstract

A method for manufacturing a thin film transistor array panel, including: sequentially forming a first silicon layer, a second silicon layer, a lower metal layer, and an upper metal layer on a gate insulating layer and a gate line; forming a first film pattern on the upper metal layer; forming a first lower metal pattern and a first upper metal pattern that includes a protrusion, by etching the upper metal layer and the lower metal layer; forming first and second silicon patterns by etching the first and second silicon layers; forming a second film pattern by ashing the first film pattern; forming a second upper metal pattern by etching the first upper metal pattern; forming a data line and a thin film transistor by etching the first lower metal pattern and the first and second silicon patterns; and forming a passivation layer and a pixel electrode on the resultant.
