A thin film transistor and a method which forms a channel region (c), a lightly doped drain region (LDD) region and, optionally, an offset region (o), in a portion of a semiconductor layer which is adjacent a sidewall of the gate electrode without the use of photo masks, thereby increasing the permissible degree of miniaturization and improving production yield.
This application is a continuation, of application Ser. No. 08/415,567 filed on Apr. 3, 1995, now abandoned which is a division of 28/296,172 filed Aug. 29, 1994 now U.S. Pat. No. 5,432,102.
A thin film transistor and a method for fabricating the same are disclosed, in which an offset region is affected or biased by a gate voltage to increase on-current, thereby improving on/off characteristic of a device. A first semiconductor layer is formed on a substrate, and insulating layer patterns are formed at both ends of the first semiconductor layer. A second semiconductor layer is formed on the first semiconductor layer and the insulating layer patterns. A gate insulating film is formed on the first and second semiconductor layers and the insulating layer patterns, and an active layer formed on the gate insulating film.
