Abstract

A method of manufacturing an sensor array includes providing a glass substrate; forming a bottom electrode layer over the glass substrate; forming a sensor material layer over the bottom electrode layer; forming a top electrode layer over the sensor material layer; patterning the top electrode layer, the sensor material layer, and the bottom electrode layer using a first photoresist layer to form a plurality of pixels; detecting a defect in the plurality of pixels; and patterning the plurality of pixels using a second photoresist layer. The first photoresist layer includes a plurality of first pixel patterns and the second photoresist layer comprises a plurality of second pixel patterns, and wherein at least one of the second pixel patterns has an area greater than that of a corresponding first pixel pattern.
