Liquid crystal display device and method for fabricating the same

A method of fabricating a liquid crystal display device, the method comprising:

• forming a gate material, an insulating material, a semiconductor material, and an ohmic contact material on a first substrate;
• forming a first photoresist pattern on the ohmic contact material using a first mask
• wherein the first photoresist pattern comprises first and second patterns having different thickness from one another;
• removing the ohmic contact material, the semiconductor material, and the insulating material using the first photoresist pattern as a mask;
• removing the gate material by an over-etching method using the first photoresist pattern as a mask, and forming a gate transmitting member, a first gate insulating layer, a semiconductor material pattern, and a first ohmic contact material pattern;
• removing the first pattern having a smaller thickness than the second pattern;
• removing the semiconductor material pattern and the first ohmic contact material pattern using the second pattern of the first photoresist pattern as a mask, and forming a semiconductor layer and a second ohmic contact material pattern;
• and
• forming a data transmitting member overlapping the semiconductor layer and a pixel electrode connected to the data transmitting member,
• wherein the first gate insulating layer has substantially a same shape as a shape of the gate transmitting member in a plan view.
