US Patent 11444206 Manufacturing method of a semiconductor structure

A manufacturing method of a semiconductor structure including the following steps is provided: forming a first metal layer on a substrate; forming an insulating layer on the first metal layer; forming an oxide semiconductor material layer on the insulating layer; performing an annealing treatment to the oxide semiconductor material layer; forming an etch stopping material layer on the oxide semiconductor material layer; forming a photoresist material layer on the etch stopping material layer and defining thereof with a half tone photomask to form a photoresist pattern; using the photoresist pattern as a mask, patterning the etch stopping material layer to form an etch stopping pattern, and patterning the oxide semiconductor material layer to form an oxide semiconductor layer; removing the photoresist pattern; using the etch stopping pattern as the mask, patterning the insulating layer; forming a second metal layer on the etch stopping pattern; and patterning the oxide semiconductor layer.
