Abstract

Various embodiments provide a thin film transistor (TFT) device, a manufacturing method of the TFT device, and a display apparatus including the TFT device. An etch stop layer (ESL) material is formed on an active layer on a substrate. An electrical conductive layer material is formed on the ESL material for forming a source electrode and a drain electrode. The electrical conductive layer material is patterned to form a first portion of the source electrode containing a first via-hole through the source electrode, and to form a first portion of the drain electrode containing a second via-hole through the drain electrode. The ESL material is patterned to form an etch stop layer (ESL) pattern including a first ESL via-hole connecting to the first via-hole through the source electrode and including a second ESL via-hole connecting to the second via-hole through the drain electrode.
