Abstract
According to an exemplary embodiment, a display substrate includes a gate metal pattern comprising a gate electrode, an active pattern disposed on the gate pattern and a source metal pattern disposed on the active pattern. The source metal pattern includes a first lower pattern disposed on the active pattern, a second lower pattern disposed on the first lower pattern, a low-resistance metal pattern disposed on the second lower pattern, and an upper pattern disposed on the low-resistance metal pattern. The first lower pattern, the second lower pattern, and the upper pattern each include a material that is the same.
Claims16
A method of manufacturing a display substrate comprising:
- forming a gate metal pattern including a gate electrode on a base substrate;
- forming a gate insulation layer that covers the gate metal pattern;
- forming an active layer on the gate insulation layer;
- forming a source metal layer on the active layer;
- forming a photoresist layer on the source metal layer;
- developing the photoresist layer to form a first photoresist pattern;
- and
- forming an active pattern and a source metal pattern by etching the active layer and the source metal layer while using the first photoresist pattern as a mask,
- wherein forming the source metal layer comprises:
- depositing a first lower layer comprising molybdenum or molybdenum alloy on the active layer;
- depositing a third lower layer comprising molybdenum nitride;
- depositing a second lower layer comprising molybdenum or molybdenum alloy on the first lower layer;
- depositing a low-resistance metal layer comprising aluminum or aluminum alloy on the second lower layer;
- and
- depositing an upper layer comprising molybdenum or molybdenum alloy on the low-resistance metal layer, and
- wherein the source metal layer is etched by a fluorine-containing gas.
