A method of manufacturing a thin film transistor includes: forming an amorphous silicon layer and a blocking layer; forming a photoresist layer having first and second photoresist patterns spaced apart from each other on the blocking layer; etching the blocking layer using the first photoresist pattern as a mask to form first and second blocking patterns; reflowing the photoresist layer so the first and second photoresist patterns abut each other; forming a capping layer and a metal layer; removing the photoresist layer to expose the blocking layer and an offset region between the blocking layer and the metal layer; crystallizing the amorphous silicon layer by diffusing metals in the metal layer through the capping layer; etching the poly silicon layer using the first and second blocking patterns as a mask to form first and second semiconductor layers; and removing the first and second blocking patterns.
