Abstract

A thin film transistor including a gate, a gate insulating layer, a semiconductor layer and a source/drain is provided. The gate is disposed over a substrate, wherein the gate comprises at least one molybdenum-niobium alloy nitride layer. The gate insulating layer is formed over the substrate to cover the gate. The semiconductor layer is disposed over the gate insulating layer above the gate. The source/drain is disposed over the semiconductor layer.

Claims (15)

1. A thin film transistor, comprising:

a gate disposed over a substrate, wherein the gate is a single-layered molybdenum-niobium (Mo-Nb) alloy nitride layer;

a gate insulating layer formed over the substrate to cover the gate;

a semiconductor layer disposed over the gate insulating layer above the gate; and

a source/drain disposed over the semiconductor layer, wherein the source/drain comprises:

a molybdenum-niobium alloy layer; and

a molybdenum-niobium alloy nitride layer disposed over the molybdenum-niobium alloy layer.

2. A thin film transistor, comprising:

a gate disposed over a substrate, wherein the gate is a single-layered molybdenum-niobium (Mo-Nb) alloy nitride layer;

a gate insulating layer formed over the substrate to cover the gate;

a semiconductor layer disposed over the gate insulating layer above the gate; and

a source/drain disposed over the semiconductor layer, wherein the source/drain comprises:

a first molybdenum-niobium alloy nitride layer;

a molybdenum-niobium alloy layer disposed over the first molybdenum-niobium alloy nitride layer; and

a second molybdenum-niobium alloy nitride layer disposed over the molybdenum-niobium alloy layer.
