According to the thin film transistor provided by the embodiment of the application, the ohmic contact layer is arranged, so that the source electrode layer is connected with the source electrode metal layer and the drain electrode metal layer through the ohmic contact layer, namely the active layer is not in direct contact with the source electrode metal layer and the drain electrode metal layer, the ohmic contact resistance between the active layer and the source electrode metal layer and between the active layer and the drain electrode metal layer is reduced, the ohmic contact effect between the active layer and the source electrode metal layer and between the active layer and the drain electrode metal layer is improved, and the working stability of the thin film transistor can be improved.
In the thin film transistor shown in fig. 2, the second ohmic contact layer 11 is located between the first insulating layer 5 and the drain metal layer 6, that is, there is an overlapping portion of the second ohmic contact layer and the first insulating layer in the projection direction in the vertical direction, and the second ohmic contact layer may be a continuous whole layer that is located between the first insulating layer and the drain metal layer, or may be a discontinuous layer that is located between the first insulating layer and the drain metal layer, as shown in fig. 3, in which the second ohmic contact layer 11 is divided into two partial regions that are located between the first insulating layer 5 and the drain metal layer 6. The cross section of the first insulating layer may be a trapezoid as shown in fig. 2 and 3 or a rectangle, and the present application will be described by taking the example in which the cross section of the first insulating layer is a trapezoid.
In the thin film transistor as shown in fig. 2, the active layer includes a first partial active layer 19 and a second partial active layer 20 respectively located at both sides of the first insulating layer, the first partial active layer 19 is located between the first partial region 17 of the first ohmic contact layer 10 and the second ohmic contact layer 11, and the second partial active layer 20 is located between the second partial region 18 of the first ohmic contact layer 10 and the second ohmic contact layer 11.
Preferably, the active layer includes amorphous silicon (a-Si).

Taking the case where the first and second active layers 19 and 20 are all the a-Si layers 15, the first ohmic contact layer, and the second ohmic contact layer is n + a-Si as an example, the thin film transistor structure provided in the embodiment of the present application is as shown in fig. 4, the second n + a-Si layer 14 is located between the first insulating layer 5 and the drain metal layer 6, and the a-Si layer 15 is in contact with the first n + a-Si layer 13 and the second n + a-Si layer 14 on both sides of the first insulating layer 5.
It should be noted that, in the thin film transistor shown in fig. 2, 3, and 4 provided in the embodiments of the present application, the active layer is not in contact with the source metal layer and the drain metal layer, but only when the active layer is in contact with the source metal layer and the drain metal layer through the ohmic contact layer, the ohmic contact resistance between the active layer and the source metal layer and the drain metal layer may be reduced, so as to improve the ohmic contact effect between the active layer and the source metal layer and the drain metal layer.

preferably, the first ohmic contact layer and the second ohmic contact layer are formed in the same process flow.
According to the thin film transistor manufacturing method provided by the embodiment of the application, the first ohmic contact layer and the second ohmic contact layer are formed in the same process flow, so that the thin film transistor manufacturing steps can be simplified, and the thin film transistor manufacturing process flow can be reduced.
Preferably, the active layer is formed after the ohmic contact layer and the drain metal layer are formed.
It should be noted that, if the active layer is disposed before the ohmic contact layer and the drain metal layer are formed, the active layer may be etched in the subsequent etching process of the ohmic contact layer and the drain metal layer, which may result in over-etching the active layer and affect the operation stability of the thin film transistor. According to the thin film transistor manufacturing method provided by the embodiment of the application, the active layer is arranged behind the first ohmic contact layer, the second ohmic contact layer and the drain electrode metal layer, so that the poor working stability of the thin film transistor caused by over-etching of the active layer is avoided.

s604, depositing a drain metal layer on the second n + a-Si layer 14, and etching to form a drain metal layer 6 after exposure;
s605, depositing an a-Si layer after the step S604, and etching to form an a-Si layer 15 after exposure; the a-Si layer 15 is in contact with the first n + a-Si layer 13 and the second n + a-Si layer 14 on both sides of the first insulating layer 5;

and S607, depositing a gate metal layer on the second insulating layer 8, and etching to form a gate metal layer 9 after exposure.
In a second mode, as shown in fig. 7, the method for manufacturing a thin film transistor specifically includes the following steps:
s701, depositing a source metal layer on the glass substrate 1, and etching to form a source metal layer 4 after exposure;
s702, depositing a first insulating layer on the source metal layer 4, and etching to form a first insulating layer 5 after exposure;

s705, arranging a second insulating layer 8 on the a-Si layer 15, and etching a via hole (not shown in the figure) on the second insulating layer;
and S706, depositing a gate metal layer on the second insulating layer 8, and etching to form a gate metal layer 9 after exposure.
By adopting the two preparation methods of the thin film transistor provided by the embodiment of the application, the first n + a-Si layer and the second n + a-Si layer are arranged between the a-Si layer and the source metal layer and between the a-Si layer and the drain metal layer, so that the ohmic contact resistance between the a-Si layer and the source metal layer and between the a-Si layer and the drain metal layer can be reduced, and the ohmic contact effect between the a-Si layer and the source metal layer and between the a-Si layer and the drain metal layer can be improved.

It should be noted that, the two ways of manufacturing the thin film transistor provided in the embodiments of the present application are different only in the etching sequence of each layer of the thin film transistor during the manufacturing process of the thin film transistor, but the thin film transistor shown in fig. 4 can be formed, and the two different ways of manufacturing the thin film transistor have no influence on the performance of the thin film transistor. In addition, compared with the first mode, the thin film transistor preparation method provided by the second mode adopts the semi-permeable mask process to etch the drain metal layer and the n + a-Si layer, so that a mask (mask) can be reduced, the production cost is reduced, the one-step exposure process is reduced, the process time is shortened, and the productivity can be increased.

In addition, according to the thin film transistor manufacturing method provided by the embodiment of the application, the first ohmic contact layer and the second ohmic contact layer are formed in the same process flow, so that the steps of manufacturing the thin film transistor are simplified.
