Abstract

A method for manufacturing an array substrate includes coating a photoresist onto an insulation layer including a gate insulation layer and an etch stop layer, wherein the gate insulation layer covers a conductive pattern and the etch stop layer covers a semiconductive pattern. The method further includes exposing the photoresist to form a photoresist partially-reserved region and a photoresist unreserved region. The method further includes performing a first etching process to at least partially remove a portion of the insulation layer located at a position corresponding to the photoresist unreserved region, to form an intermediate hole. The method further includes performing a second etching process to form the first via hole and form the second via hole at a position of the intermediate hole, thereby to reveal the semiconductive pattern and the conductive pattern at positions corresponding to the first via hole and the second via hole, respectively.
