In addition, during the bombardment process of the etching process, the amorphous germanium of the channel table 1 has damaged dangling b〇nds and is struck into Weak bonds. Repaired by hydrogen radicals, a stable bond structure can be obtained. These passivation effects and repair bonding effects can not only reduce the contact resistance of the metal surface, but also make the film The transistor element and the panel circuit are more stable. The invention mainly provides a method for reducing the source-pole contact resistance of a thin film transistor of a liquid crystal display by introducing a nitrogen atom and a protective layer before forming a protective layer on the thin film transistor.
