A TFT that provides an efficient layout, a fabrication method thereof, an
LCD device having the TFT, and a fabrication method thereof are provided.
The TFT has a gate electrode and source/drain electrodes with an active
layer interposed. The source electrodes and the drain electrodes are
alternated in a vertical direction and a horizontal direction. Thus, the
same source electrodes and the same drain electrodes are arranged in a
diagonal direction. Source lines are connected with the source electrodes
arranged in a diagonal direction and drain lines are connected with the
drain electrodes arranged in a diagonal direction. Since a channel width
is formed between the source electrode and adjacent drain electrodes, the
channel width can be maximized within a limited area. Also, the source
lines and the drain lines are arranged in a diagonal direction, so that
an area use rate is maximized.
