An object is to improve reliability of a semiconductor device. A semiconductor device including a driver circuit portion and a display portion (also referred to as a pixel portion) over the same substrate is provided. The driver circuit portion and the display portion include thin film transistors in which a semiconductor layer includes an oxide semiconductor; a first wiring; and a second wiring. The thin film transistors each include a source electrode layer and a drain electrode layer. In the thin film transistor in the driver circuit portion, the semiconductor layer is sandwiched between a gate electrode layer and a conductive layer. The first wiring and the second wiring are electrically connected to each other in an opening provided in a gate insulating film through an oxide conductive layer.

When a transistor having bottom gate bottom contact structure is manufactured, for example, a conductive layer constituting a source and a drain has a three-layer structure and two-step etching is performed. In the first etching process, an etching method in which the etching rates for at least the second film and the third film are high is employed, and the first etching process is performed until at least the first film is exposed. In the second etching process, an etching method in which the etching rate for the first film is higher than that in the first etching process and the etching rate for a layer provided below and in contact with the first film is lower than that in the first etching process is employed. The side wall of the second film is slightly etched when a resist mask is removed after the second etching process.

A thin film transistor array panel includes: a gate wiring layer disposed on a substrate; an oxide semiconductor layer disposed on the gate wiring layer; and a data wiring layer disposed on the oxide semiconductor layer, in which the data wiring layer includes a main wiring layer including copper and a capping layer disposed on the main wiring layer and including a copper alloy.

Embodiments of the invention provide an array substrate and a method of manufacturing the same. The method comprises: forming a gate electrode pattern, a gate insulation layer, an active layer pattern and an etching stopping layer on a substrate; forming a photoresist layer on the etching stopping layer; performing a single patterning process on the photoresist layer, such that photoresist in the first region is partially etched off, photoresist in the second region is completely etched off, and photoresist in the third region is completely remained; and performing a single etching process, such that residual photoresist in the first region and a portion of the etching stopping layer in the first region are etched off, and at the same time, a portion of the etching stopping layer and a portion of the gate insulation layer in the second region are etched off.

A display device is described that has reduced resistance in one or more of the gate, common, data electrical lines that control the operation of the pixels of the display device. Reduced resistance is achieved by forming additional metal and/or metal-alloy layers on the gate, common, and/or data lines in such a manner so that the cross-sectional area of those lines is increased. As a consequence, each such line is formed so as to be thicker than could otherwise be achieving without causing defects in the rubbing process of an alignment layer. Additionally, no widening of these lines is needed, thus preserving the aspect ratio of the device. The gate insulating and semiconducting layers that in part make up the thin film transistors that help control the operation of the pixels of the device may also be designed to take into account the increased thickness of the lines.

A manufacture method of a black matrix is provided. The COA technology is utilized to manufacture organic photoresist blocks with an increased thickness on alignment marks. Then, a black matrix thin film is set on and covers the organic photoresist blocks to tremendously increase the level differences of the positions of the alignment marks and adjacent areas. A contour recognition apparatus can accurately recognize positions of the alignment marks. The issue that the alignment marks are difficult to recognize after the black matrix thin film is coated in the BOA process can be solved.
