A thin film transistor and a method of fabricating the same capable of
reducing stress of a substrate caused by a metal layer of the drain and
source electrodes, the thin film transistor including a substrate; a
semiconductor layer disposed on the substrate and including source, drain
and channel regions; a gate insulating layer disposed on the substrate
including the semiconductor layer; a gate electrode disposed on the gate
insulating layer to correspond to the channel region of the semiconductor
layer; an interlayer insulating layer disposed on the substrate including
the gate electrode, and having contact holes connected with the source
and drain regions of the semiconductor layer; and source and drain
electrodes connected with the source and drain regions through the
contact holes, wherein the source and drain electrodes include a first
metal layer, a second metal layer, and a metal oxide layer interposed
between the first metal layer and the second metal layer. Accordingly,
the thin film transistor can reduce stress of the substrate caused by a
metal layer of the source and drain electrodes, thereby improving yield
of an organic light emitting diode display device.
