TFT的構造依電晶體構成要素的配置方法大致區分為stagger型與coplanar型。前者指的是在gate電極╱gate絕緣膜與 source╱drain電極之間配置半導體。後者指的是在gate電極╱gate絕緣膜與半導體之間配置source╱drain電極。另外還衍生出 gate電極是在TFT上部（top gate）或下部（bottom gate）的類型。順stagger構造是gate電極配置於上部之stagger構造，使用於部份的a-Si TFT LlCD上。
英：
TFT structure is divided into stagger type and coplanar type according to the ways the transistors are constructed. Stagger type means the semiconductor is fixed in between gate electrode / gate insulating film and source / drain electrode. Coplanar type means the source / drain electrode is fixed in between gate electrode / gate insulating film and transistor. There is also another TFT types which fits the gate electrode on either top gate or bottom gate of the TFT. When the gate electrode is fitted to the stagger on top gate, it is known as Staggered structure TFT, and it is applied partially to a-Si TFT LCD.
