A low-temperature polysilicon thin film transistor having a buried LDD structure is provided. Two heavily doped regions are formed in a semiconductor layer and distributed just below a surface of the semiconductor layer. Two LDD regions are both sandwiched between the two heavily doped regions in a direction substantially parallel to the surface of semiconductor layer, and separated from the surface of the semiconductor layer by a portion of the semiconductor layer. The process for producing such a thin film transistor is also provided. A first, a second and a third doping materials are injected into a semiconductor layer in different directions to form heavily doped regions and LDD regions.
