AMOLED(有源矩阵有机发光二极管)技术是Mobile产品的发展趋势。作为像素的开关使用的TFT(薄膜晶体管),需要漏电流(Ioff)尽可能小,而利用氧化物半导体的TFT能够减小漏电流。但是,氧化物半导体的载流子的迁移率小,因此有时难以用使用了氧化物半导体的TFT来形成内置于显示装置内的驱动电路。另一方面,由于LTPS(Low Temperature Poly-Si:低温多晶硅)TFT的载流子迁移率大,因此能够通过使用了LTPS的TFT来形成驱动电路。然而,在将LTPS用作像素中的开关TFT的情况下,LTPS的漏电流大。
LTPO(LTPS+Oxide,即低温多晶硅与氧化物半导体的组合)技术结合了LTPS TFT和Oxide TFT这两种TFT各自的优势,在Mobile AMOLED产品的高PPI、低功耗、高画质等方面具备一定的技术优势。另外,由于Oxide TFT具有漏电流低的优点,在LTPS+Oxide技术的传感器应用上也有一定的优点。因此LTPO工艺的开发具有较高的价值和意义。

发明人发现,对于LTPS和氧化物半导体而言,由于材料的性质不同,将其形成于同一基板上会出现工艺不兼容等问题。在相关技术制备LTPS TFT的过程中,需要制作贯穿多层绝缘层的过孔,以使源漏电极与多晶硅半导体层连接。在制作过孔后,由于多晶硅层中对应位置暴露在空气中,会使其表面发生氧化,因此需要实施氢氟酸(HF)清洗,以在形成源漏电极前去除其表面氧化物。然而,如果在氢氟酸清洗过程中氢氟酸接触到氧化物半导体,将会导致氢氟酸腐蚀氧化物半导体而造成损伤,从而影响Oxide TFT的性能。

图2-图5为本公开一个实施方式的阵列基板的制造方法的工序剖面示意图。如图2所示,阵列基板包括衬底S,衬底S的材料可以为石英玻璃、无碱玻璃以及硅片、聚酰亚胺或塑料等。衬底S具有多个第一区域100和多个第二区域200(图中仅示出各一个),以在两个区域中分别形成不同类型的TFT,例如氧化物半导体TFT作为显示区域中像素的开关元件,而LTPS TFT作为驱动电路的驱动元件。
首先构图工艺在衬底S的第一区域100形成第一半导体图案101,第一半导体图案101是作为第一区域100所对应TFT的有源层,其材料可为多晶硅,此时第一区域100所对应的TFT为LTPS TFT。
可以理解的是,在衬底S的第一区域100形成第一半导体图案101之前,可以先形成遮光图案以及绝缘层。其中遮光图案可以利用非晶硅或者深色树脂或者金属材料,从而避免从衬底侧入射的光线影响半导体器件的工作特性。
第一半导体图案101的形成可包括以下步骤:在衬底S的第一区域100形成非晶硅(a-Si),之后对非晶硅照射准分子激光,从而将非晶硅转化为多晶硅。
在形成第一半导体图案101之前,还可先在衬底S上形成氮化硅(SiNx)层和氧化硅(SiOx)层的叠层,从而防止衬底S中所含的杂质污染第一半导体图案101。
形成第一半导体图案101后,在其上形成第一绝缘层110。第一绝缘层110至少覆盖第 一半导体图案101,可进一步覆盖第一区域100,还可进一步覆盖第二区域200。第一绝缘层110的材料可为氧化硅(SiOx)层,其可以TEOS(四乙氧基硅烷)为原料而利用CVD(化学气相沉积)法所形成,CVD法可例如低压化学气相沉积法、热气相沉积法、催化化学气相沉积法、等离子增强化学气相沉积法等。
通过一次成膜工艺,利用同一掩模和相同材料分别在第一区域100和第二区域200形成第一栅极图案111和第二栅极图案112,第一栅极图案111和第二栅极图案112彼此隔离。第一栅极图案111和第二栅极图案112由Al合金、Cr、Mo、W或者上述这些的层叠膜等形成,分别作为两个区域中TFT的栅极。第一栅极图案111和第二栅极图案112可通过镀膜的方式形成,包括但不限于真空蒸镀、磁控溅射镀膜、离子溅射镀膜等。
第一栅极图案111形成于第一绝缘层110上且处于第一半导体图案101的正上方。若第一绝缘层110也覆盖了第二区域200,第二栅极图案112可形成于第一绝缘层110上,若第一绝缘层110仅覆盖第一区域100,则第二栅极图案112可直接形成在衬底S的第二区域200上。
形成第一栅极图案111和第二栅极图案112后,在其上形成第二绝缘层120。第二绝缘层120将第一栅极图案111和第二栅极图案112完全覆盖,同时也将第一绝缘层110以及衬底S覆盖。
为保证氧化物半导体TFT的性能,第二绝缘层120的材料为氮化硅层和氧化硅层的叠层,其中氮化硅层位于下方而氧化硅层位于上方从而使氧化硅层与氧化物半导体层接触。
氧化硅层的原料及形成方法可与上文相同。就形成氮化硅层的原料气体而言,作为氮源气体,可使用NH3、NH2H2N、N2等,优选NH3和N2,作为硅源气体,可使用SiH4、Si2H6、SiCl4、SiHCl3、SiH2Cl2、SiH3Cl3、SiF4等,优选SiH4。氮化硅层也可通过化学气相沉积方法(CVD)形成。
需要说明的是,对于LTPS TFT,由于在制作源漏电极与有源层连接的过孔后,需要对多晶硅半导体图案通过过孔暴露出的表面进行氢氟酸清洗,同时,氢氟酸清洗后需要在小于半小时之内做制作源/漏极,否则清洗后的多晶硅表面接触水汽或者空气会氧化而重新形成表面氧化物,对搭接造成影响,降低清洗效果。为了进一步节约工艺流程,降低制作成本,需要先制做第二半导体图案102(通常为氧化物半导体层,例如IGZO)然后进行干刻蚀(Dry Etch)打孔,之后依次进行氢氟酸清洗和源/漏极沉积。
因此,形成第二绝缘层120后,在第二区域200形成第二半导体图案102,第二半导体图案102是作为第二区域200所对应TFT的有源层,其材料可为金属氧化物,此时第二区域200所对应的TFT为氧化物半导体TFT。
第二半导体图案102的材料可为氧化铟锌(indium zinc oxide,IZO)、氧化铟锡锌(Indium-Tin-Zinc Oxide,ITZO)、氧化铟镓(indium gallium oxide,IGO)、氧化铟镓锌(indium gallium zinc oxide,IGZO)、氧化铟钨(Indium tungsten Oxide,IWO)、氧化锌(ZnO)、氧化锡(SnO)、氧化镓锌(Gallium-Zinc Oxide,GZO)、氧化锌锡(Zinc-Tin Oxide,ZTO)中的任一种,可以为前述多种材料的组合。
第二半导体图案102可通过镀膜的方式形成,包括但不限于真空蒸镀、磁控溅射镀膜、离子溅射镀膜等。以IGZO为例,可采用直流磁控溅射制备,其中靶材的原子比为In2O3-Ga2O3-ZnO=1∶1∶1(摩尔比),通过调节氧气流量、沉积功率,气体流量等参数来获得满足应用要求的IGZO薄膜。
第二半导体图案102可直接形成于第二绝缘层120上,且处于第二栅极图案112的正上方。如图3所示,形成第二半导体图案102后,通过一次成膜工艺,利用同一掩模和相同原料在第一区域100形成第一金属图案121,在第二区域200形成第二金属图案122和第三金属图案123,并且第二金属图案122和第三金属图案123分别与第二半导体图案102搭接,同时第二金属图案122和第三金属图案123之间不接触。
第一金属图案121、第二金属图案122和第三金属图案123的材料可为常温下不与HF反应或反应极慢的金属,例如Mo,其可通过镀膜的方式形成。
第一金属图案121是位于第一区域100的第二绝缘层120上,其可充当走线,连接起不同作用的多晶硅单元,例如可作为连接开关TFT及驱动TFT的连线;也可第一栅极图案111相对应,起到存储电容作用,保持发光单元像素显示。作为LTPS TFT栅极的第一栅极图案与作为电容的第一栅极图案位于同一层的不同位置。
第二金属图案122和第三金属图案123分别形成于第二半导体图案102的两侧并与其连接,考虑到连接的稳定性,可以采用搭接的方式使第二金属图案122和第三金属图案123各自的一部分位于第二半导体图案102的侧边同时各自的另一部分位于第二半导体图案102之上,以形成稳固的连接结构,不会轻易断路。
如图4所示,形成第一金属图案121、第二金属图案122和第三金属图案123后,在其上形成第三绝缘层130,第三绝缘层130将第一金属图案121、第二金属图案122、第三金属图案123以及第二半导体图案102完全覆盖。
第三绝缘层130具有良好的覆盖特性和绝缘效果,可为层间介电层,例如氮化硅层、氧化硅层、氮化硅层和氧化硅层的叠层等,其中氧化硅层、氧化硅层的原料及形成方法可与上文相同。
形成第三绝缘层130后,对其进行蚀刻以形成多个第一过孔131和多个第二过孔132,如图4所示,两个第一过孔131形成于第一区域100,其贯穿一绝缘层110、第二绝缘层120和第三绝缘层130,从而使第一半导体图案101暴露出来;两个第二过孔132形成于第二区域200,其贯穿第三绝缘层130,从而使第二金属图案122和第三金属图案123暴露出来。
第一过孔131和第二过孔132的形成可在同一次曝光工艺中利用干式蚀刻同时进行,干式蚀刻可使用CF系(CF4)、或者CHF系(CHF3)的气体来进行。
形成第一过孔131和第二过孔132后,可对LTPS进行氢化工艺,以氢原子填补界面态、晶粒间界态及氧化层缺陷等,通常可采用等离子体氢化法、固态扩散法或氢离子注入法等来实施氢化工艺。
由于第一绝缘层的材料通常为氧化硅,并且刻蚀过程中有氧气气氛容易氧化多晶硅,因此在氢化工艺后,需要对第一过孔131和第二过孔132进行氢氟酸清洗,以去除第一过孔131 中多晶硅(p-Si)表面的氧化硅及聚合物,防止绝缘体氧化硅及聚合物影响后续源/漏极与多晶硅的搭接及接触,以此来保证LTPS的器件特性。由于第二过孔132仅暴露第二金属图案122和第三金属图案123,因此在进行氢氟酸清洗时,氢氟酸与第二半导体图案102不会接触,也不会进行反应,同时氢氟酸对第二金属图案122和第三金属图案123的腐蚀也很有限,不会出现将其腐蚀完全而接触第二半导体图案102的情况,因此可避免氢氟酸腐蚀氧化物半导体而造成损伤,不会影响氧化物半导体TFT的性能。如图5所示,氢氟酸清洗之后,在第一区域100上形成第一源极141S和第一漏极141D,在第二区域200上形成第二源极142S和第二漏极142D。
低电阻率是TFT对源漏电极的要求,除此之外,源漏电极与半导体层形成良好的欧姆接触是TFT对于源漏电极材料另一个重要要求,它可以降低漏源之间的电阻,防止产生电流拥挤效应。
第一源极141S、第一漏极141D、第二源极142S和第二漏极142D可利用一次成膜工艺同时形成,其材料可为金属Ti、ITO等,金属Ti材料不仅与IGZO层有较好的粘附能力,并且能够减少与有源层的接触电阻,而ITO材料具有较低的电阻率,还能与IGZO有源层形成较好的欧姆接触,并且具有较好的透明度。
如图5所示,第一源极141S和第一漏极141D的一部分形成于第三绝缘层130上,并分别通过两个第一过孔131与第一半导体图案101连接;第二源极142S通过一个第二过孔132与第二金属图案122连接,第二漏极142D通过另一个第二过孔132与第三金属图案123连接,而第二金属图案122和第三金属图案123分别与第二半导体图案102搭接,从而实现第二源极142S和第二漏极142D与第二半导体图案102的电性连接。
形成源漏电极后,可以在第三绝缘层130上进一步形成钝化层(图中未示出)并使其覆盖源漏电极,之后可顺利进行后续工艺。
在以上说明中,以将氧化物半导体TFT用于显示区域、将LTPS TFT用于周边驱动电路的形式进行了说明,但根据制品规格,也可以向周边电路添加氧化物半导体TFT,向显示区域添加LTPS TFT。
如图5所示,本公开的阵列基板包括:
衬底S,衬底S包括第一区域100和第二区域200;
第一半导体图案101,位于第一区域100;
第一绝缘层110,至少覆盖第一半导体图案101;
彼此隔离的第一栅极图案111和第二栅极图案112,分别设置于第一区域100和第二区域200;
第二绝缘层120,覆盖第一栅极图案111和第二栅极图案112;
第一金属图案121,位于第一区域100的第二绝缘层120上;
第二半导体图案102,位于第二区域200的第二绝缘层120上;
第二金属图案122和第三金属图案123,位于第二区域200并分别与第二半导体图案102搭接;
第三绝缘层130,覆盖第二半导体图案102、第一金属图案121、第二金属图案122和第三金属图案123;

第二过孔132,位于第二区域200并贯穿第三绝缘层130;
第一源极141S和第一漏极141D,位于第一区域100的第三绝缘层130上;以及
第二源极142S和第二漏极142D,位于第二区域200的第三绝缘层130上;
其中,第一源极141S和第一漏极141D分别通过第一过孔131与第一半导体图案101连接,第二源极142S和第二漏极142D分别通过第二过孔132与第二半导体图案102连接。
其中,第一金属图案121、第二金属图案122和第三金属图案123的材料相同,可通过一次成膜工艺形成。
由上可知,本公开的制造方法通过改变阵列基板中氧化物半导体的膜层位置并在其两侧设置搭接结构,利用搭接结构对氧化物半导体层进行有效保护,可实现一次构图工艺制作过孔后氢氟酸清洗的正常进行,避免了氢氟酸对氧化物半导体层的影响,同时简化了制作流程,进而降低生产成本。
通过使用本公开的制造方法,能够通过共通的工艺同时形成LTPS TFT和氧化物半导体TFT,因此能够使用LTPS TFT和氧化物半导体TFT的各种组合,从而能够获得图像品质优异、且能够减小功耗的有机电致发光显示装置。
下面描述本公开的一些示例性可替代实施例。
如图6所示,现有技术中,一方面,LTPO阵列基板中为了减少掩膜板的使用,简化工艺流程,低温多晶硅薄膜晶体管的第一过孔602’和氧化物薄膜晶体管的第二过孔702’通常采用一次曝光刻蚀工艺形成,但是由于第一过孔602’的深度比第二过孔702’的深度更深,当第二过孔702’已经刻蚀完成,第一过孔602’仍有一部分未刻蚀完成,需要延长刻蚀时间以使第一过孔602’能够到达多晶硅半导体层601’,将多晶硅半导体层601’暴露出来,在继续刻蚀的过程中,第二过孔702’中继续刻蚀氧化物半导体701’,会导致氧化物半导体701’在后续的刻蚀时间中完全被刻蚀掉,进而导致氧化物薄膜晶体管的性能异常。而如果第一过孔602’和第二过孔702’通过两次工艺分别形成,则会增加掩膜板的使用数量,增大工艺复杂度,进而增加阵列基板的制作成本。另一方面,低温多晶硅薄膜晶体管在第一过孔602’形成后需要先用氢氟酸(HF)进行清洗,去除多晶硅(p-Si)表面的氧化层,再进行源极和漏极的沉积,以保证源极和漏极与多晶硅半导体层形成良好的欧姆接触,但是在采用HF对阵列基板进行清洗时,HF会与氧化物半导体层701’发生反应导致氧化物半导体701’被刻蚀掉,导致氧化物薄膜晶体管的性能异常,而如果在HF清洗之前先在第二过孔702’处形成阻挡层,HF清洗之后再去掉,同样会导致工艺复杂,成本增加。还一方面,目前阵列基板的工艺限制,导致氧化物半导体的栅极703’和栅极绝缘层704’通常通过一次工艺形成,导致栅极绝缘层704’的宽度较短,在氧化物半导体层701’导体化时,由于没有足够的栅极绝缘层704’保护,氧化物半导体沟道的有效长度会减小,会出现短沟道效 应,导致氧化物薄膜晶体管的特性不稳定。
如图7所示,根据本公开的一个方面,公开了阵列基板的一个具体实施例。本实施例中,阵列基板包括衬底S以及形成在衬底S上的低温多晶硅薄膜晶体管(LTPS TFT)和氧化物薄膜晶体管(Oxide TFT),其中氧化物薄膜晶体管为顶栅结构。氧化物薄膜晶体管包括第二半导体图案670、第二栅极图案693、第二源漏极和第二过孔712。第二半导体图案670对应所述第二过孔712的区域覆盖有导电保护部,第二源漏极通过第二过孔712与所述导电保护部连接。其中,第二半导体图案670对应所述第二过孔712的区域覆盖有导电保护部,表示导电保护部在所述衬底S上的正投影覆盖所述第二过孔712在所述衬底S上的正投影,即导电保护部在衬底S上的正投影与第二过孔712在衬底S上的正投影交叠。低温多晶硅薄膜晶体管包括第一半导体图案620、第一过孔711、通过第一过孔711与第一半导体图案620连接的第一源漏极以及形成在第一半导体图案620上方的第一栅极图案640和第一金属图案691。
阵列基板包括形成在第二半导体图案670上的导电保护部,导电保护部包括分别位于第二半导体图案两端的第二金属图案692和第三金属图案694,在具体例子中,第二源漏极可包括第二源极723和第二漏极724,第二源极723和第二漏极724通过第二过孔712与第二金属图案692和第三金属图案694分别连接,导电保护部可实现第二源极723和第二漏极724与第二半导体图案的电连接,使氧化物薄膜晶体管正常工作,也能够防止形成第一过孔711和第二过孔712时、对两个过孔进行氢氟酸清洗时对第二半导体图案670造成损伤,通过导电保护部对第二半导体图案670进行保护,起到刻蚀阻挡的作用,从而能够使第一过孔711和第二过孔712通过一次工艺实现,第一过孔711和第二过孔712的形成可只用一个掩膜板进行图案化,能够减少掩膜板的使用数量,减少阵列基板的工艺流程,简化工艺,降低成本。本公开通过在氧化物薄膜晶体管的有源层上对应第二过孔的区域设置导电保护部,利用导电保护部对有源层进行有效保护,可实现一次构图工艺制作过孔后对第二过孔712和第一过孔711的氢氟酸清洗的正常进行,避免了氢氟酸对氧化物薄膜晶体管的有源层的影响,同时氧化物薄膜晶体管采用顶栅结构,导电保护部可与氧化物薄膜晶体管的第二栅极图案同层设置,可通过一次构图工艺形成以减少工艺步骤。
在一种实施方式中,衬底S包括第一区域600和第二区域700,可在衬底S的第一区域600形成低温多晶硅薄膜晶体管,在第二区域700形成氧化物薄膜晶体管。其中,在第一区域600形成第一半导体图案620,在第二区域700形成第二半导体图案670。
第一半导体图案620的材料可为多晶硅,用于作为低温多晶硅薄膜晶体管的有源区,第二半导体图案670的材料为氧化物,可作为氧化物薄膜晶体管的有源区。所述氧化物的材料可为氧化铟锡锌、氧化铟镓、氧化铟镓锌、氧化铟钨、氧化锌、氧化锡、氧化镓锌、氧化锌锡中的一种或多种的组合。在可选地实施方式中,氧化物薄膜晶体管可作为显示面板显示区域中像素的开关元件,而低温多晶硅薄膜晶体管可作为驱动电路的驱动元件。
在一种实施方式中,第二半导体图案670上进一步形成有第一栅绝缘层680。本公开中,由于导电保护部的设置,可减少阵列基板制作过程中的掩膜板的使用数量,从而本公开中, 第一栅绝缘层680可通过一次单独的构图工艺形成,使第一栅绝缘层680的宽度W更宽,大于设置于第一栅绝缘层680上第二栅极图案的宽度,从而避免由于第一栅绝缘层680的宽度W小而导致的短沟道效应。
在一种实施方式中,第二栅极图案693与导电保护部的材料可选用相同的金属材料,例如Al、Cr、Mo和W中的一种或多种的组合。在选用相同的金属材料时,第二栅极图案693和导电保护部可通过一次构图工艺形成,可节省工艺步骤,简化阵列基板制作流程。

具体的,图9-图18示出本实施例中阵列基板的制作过程的剖面图。

可选地,第一半导体图案620的材料为多晶硅。其中,多晶硅半导体图案的形成可先在衬底S的第一区域600形成非晶硅(a-Si),之后对非晶硅照射准分子激光,从而可将非晶硅转化为多晶硅。
在可选地实施方式中,在形成第一半导体图案620之前,可在衬底S上先形成柔性层611,该柔性层611的材料可选用聚酰亚胺(PI),当阵列基板完成后,可将衬底S去除,以制成柔性显示屏。在其他实施方式中,当显示装置并非柔性显示装置时,可不设置柔性层611,本公开对此并不作限定。
在设置第一半导体图案620前,还可设置第五绝缘层612以及第一缓冲层613,绝缘层和缓冲层可起到绝缘的作用以及防止衬底S中的杂质污染第一半导体图案620。绝缘层和缓冲层的材料可选用氮化硅或氧化硅等常用的透明绝缘材料。
如图5所示,在第一半导体图案620上形成至少覆盖第一半导体图案620的第一绝缘层630。其中,第一绝缘层630至少覆盖第一半导体图案620,还可覆盖第一区域600,还可进一步覆盖第二区域700。第一绝缘层630的材料可以是氮化硅(Si3N4),也可以是四乙氧基硅烷(TEOS),并可利用化学气相沉积法(CVD)形成,CVD法可采用低压化学气相沉积法、热气相沉积法、催化化学气相沉积法、等离子增强化学气相沉积法等方法,本公开对此并不作限定。
如图6所示,在第一区域600的第一绝缘层630上形成第一栅极图案640。其中,第一栅极图案640的位置与第一半导体图案620对应,作为多晶硅晶体管的栅极。第一栅极图案640的材料可选用Al、Cr、Mo或W中的一种或多种形成,当采用多种金属时,通过各个金属的层叠膜等形成第一栅极图案640。第一栅极图案640可通过镀膜的方式形成,包括但不限于真空蒸镀、磁控溅射镀膜、离子溅射镀膜等镀膜工艺。
如图7所示,在第一栅极图案640上形成覆盖第一栅极图案640的第二绝缘层650。第二绝缘层650至少覆盖第一栅极图案640,并可进一步覆盖第一区域600,还可进一步覆盖第二区域700。为了保证氧化物薄膜晶体管的性能,第二绝缘层650上进一步还可形成第二缓冲层660。其中,第二绝缘层650的材料可选用氮化硅,第二缓冲层660的材料可选用氧化硅,由氧化硅形成的第二缓冲层660与氧化物薄膜晶体管直接接触。
第二绝缘层650和第二缓冲层660的形成方法与第一绝缘层630的形成方法类似。就形成氮化硅层的原料气体而言,作为氮源气体,可使用NH3、NH2H2N或N2等,优选NH3和N2,作为硅源气体,可使用SiH4、Si2H6、SiCl4、SiHCl3、SiH2Cl2、SiH3Cl3或SiF4等,优选SiH4。氮化硅层也可通过化学气相沉积方法(CVD)形成。
需要说明的是,对于低温多晶硅薄膜晶体管,由于在制作源漏电极与有源层连接的过孔 后,需要对多晶硅半导体图案通过过孔暴露出的表面进行氢氟酸清洗,同时,氢氟酸清洗后需要在小于半小时之内制作源/漏极,否则清洗后的多晶硅表面接触水汽或者空气会氧化而重新形成表面氧化物,对搭接造成影响,降低清洗效果。为了进一步节约工艺流程,降低制作成本,需要先制作第二半导体图案670(通常为氧化物半导体层,例如IGZO),然后进行干刻蚀打孔,之后依次进行氢氟酸清洗和源、漏极沉积。因此,形成第一栅绝缘层680后,在第二区域700形成第二半导体图案670,第二半导体图案670是作为第二区域所对应晶体管的有源层,其材料可为金属氧化物,此时第二区域700所对应的晶体管为氧化物薄膜晶体管。
如图8所示,在第二区域700的第二绝缘层650上形成第二半导体图案670。第二半导体图案670的材料可选用氧化铟锌(indium zinc oxide,IZO)、氧化铟锡锌(Indium-Tin-Zinc Oxide,ITZO)、氧化铟镓(indium gallium oxide,IGO)、氧化铟镓锌(indium gallium zinc oxide,IGZO)、氧化铟钨(Indium tungsten Oxide,IWO)、氧化锌(ZnO)、氧化锡(SnO)、氧化镓锌(Gallium-Zinc Oxide,GZO)、氧化锌锡(Zinc-Tin Oxide,ZTO)中的任一种,也可以选用前述多种材料的组合。第二半导体图案670可通过镀膜的方式形成,包括但不限于真空蒸镀、磁控溅射镀膜、离子溅射镀膜等。以IGZO为例,可采用直流磁控溅射制备,其中靶材的原子比为In2O3-Ga2O3-ZnO=1∶1∶1(摩尔比),通过调节氧气流量、沉积功率、气体流量等参数来获得满足应用要求的IGZO薄膜。
如图9所示,在第二半导体图案670上形成第一栅绝缘层680。其中,第一栅绝缘层680部分覆盖第二半导体图案670,第一栅绝缘层680设置在第二半导体图案670的中央,以留出两侧的区域设置第二过孔712,使第二半导体图案670可与第二源极723和第二漏极724连接。本公开中,第一栅绝缘层680通过一次构图工艺形成,可通过掩膜板的形状控制第一栅绝缘层680的宽度W,从而可通过设置掩膜板,使第一栅绝缘层680的宽度W适当增大,在第二半导体图案670导体化的时候能够对第二半导体图案670进行保护,防止短沟道效应。
如图10所示,通过一次构图工艺,在第一区域600形成第一金属图案691,在第二区域700形成分别位于第二半导体图案670两端的第二金属图案692和第三金属图案694以及位于第一栅绝缘层680上的第二栅极图案693。其中,第一金属图案691、第二金属图案692、第三金属图案694和第二栅极图案693的材料可选择常温下不与氢氟酸(HF)反应或反应极慢的金属,例如Mo。
第一金属图案691位于第一区域600的第二绝缘层650上,其可充当走线,连接起不同作用的低温多晶硅薄膜晶体管,例如可作为连接开关晶体管及驱动晶体管的连线;也可与第一栅极图案640相对应,起到存储电容的作用,保持发光单元像素显示。
第二金属图案692和第三金属图案694分别形成于第二半导体图案670的两侧并与其连接,考虑到连接的稳定性,可以采用搭接的方式使第二金属图案692和第三金属图案694各自的一部分位于第二半导体图案670的侧边,同时各自的另一部分位于第二半导体图案670之上,以形成稳固的连接结构,不会轻易断路。
如图11所示,进一步形成覆盖第一金属图案691、第二金属图案692、第三金属图案694 和第二栅极图案693的第三绝缘层710。
如图12所示,形成第三绝缘层710后,在第一区域600形成贯穿第一绝缘层630、第二绝缘层650和第三绝缘层710的第一过孔711,在第二区域700形成贯穿第三绝缘层710的第二过孔712。第一过孔711将第一半导体图案620暴露出来,第二过孔712将第二金属图案692和第三金属图案694暴露出来。本公开的阵列基板中,第一过孔711和第二过孔712可通过一次构图工艺形成,工艺可选用干式刻蚀的方法同时进行。其中,干式刻蚀可选用CF系(CF4)、或者CHF系(CHF3)的气体来进行。
由于第一过孔711贯穿第一绝缘层630、第二绝缘层650和第三绝缘层710,而第二过孔712仅贯穿第三绝缘层710,从而第一过孔711的深度远远大于第二过孔712,在干式刻蚀的过程中,第二过孔712已经刻蚀至暴露出第二金属图案692和第二金属图案694时,第一过孔711仍有一部分没有刻蚀掉,需继续刻蚀以使第一过孔711能够暴露出第一半导体图案。此时,第二金属图案692和第三金属图案694能够阻挡刻蚀,防止第二半导体图案670被刻蚀掉,破坏氧化物薄膜晶体管的有源层。
形成第一过孔711和第二过孔712后,可对LTPS进行氢化工艺,以氢原子填补界面态、晶粒间界态及氧化层缺陷等,通常可采用等离子体氢化法、固态扩散法或氢离子注入法等来实施氢化工艺。
由于第一绝缘层630的材料通常为氧化硅,并且刻蚀过程中有氧气气氛容易氧化多晶硅,因此在氢化工艺后,需要对第一过孔711进行氢氟酸清洗,以去除第一过孔711中多晶硅(p-Si)表面的氧化硅及聚合物,防止氧化硅及聚合物影响后续源/漏极与多晶硅的搭接及接触,以此来保证LTPS的器件特性。由于第二过孔712仅暴露第二金属图案692和第三金属图案694,因此在进行氢氟酸清洗时,氢氟酸与第二半导体图案670不会接触,也不会进行反应,同时氢氟酸对第二金属图案692和第三金属图案694的腐蚀也很有限,不会出现将其腐蚀完全而接触第二半导体图案670的情况,因此可避免氢氟酸腐蚀氧化物半导体而造成损伤,不会影响氧化物薄膜晶体管的性能。
如图18所示,氢氟酸清洗之后,在第一区域600上形成第一源极721和第一漏极722,在第二区域700上形成第二源极723和第二漏极724。低电阻率是晶体管对源漏电极的要求,除此之外,源漏电极与半导体层形成良好的欧姆接触是晶体管对于源漏电极材料另一个重要要求,它可以降低漏源之间的电阻,防止产生电流拥挤效应。
第一源极721、第一漏极722、第二源极723和第二漏极724可利用一次构图工艺同时形成,其材料可为金属Ti、ITO等,金属Ti材料不仅与IGZO层有较好的粘附能力,并且能够减少与有源层的接触电阻,而ITO材料具有较低的电阻率,还能与IGZO有源层形成较好的欧姆接触,并且具有较好的透明度。
第一源极721和第一漏极722的一部分形成于第三绝缘层710上,并分别通过两个第一过孔711与第一半导体图案620连接;第二源极723通过一个第二过孔712与第二金属图案692连接,第二漏极724通过另一个第二过孔712与第三金属图案694连接,而第二金属图案692和第三金属图案694分别与第二半导体图案670搭接,从而实现第二源极723和第二 漏极724与第二半导体图案670的电性连接。
形成源漏电极后,可以在第三绝缘层710上进一步形成钝化层并使其覆盖源漏电极,之后可顺利进行后续工艺。
在以上说明中,以将氧化物薄膜晶体管用于显示区域、将低温多晶硅薄膜晶体管用于周边驱动电路的形式进行了说明,但根据制品规格,也可以向周边电路添加氧化物薄膜晶体管,向显示区域添加低温多晶硅薄膜晶体管。

本实施例通过在氧化物薄膜晶体管的有源层上对应第二过孔的区域设置导电保护部,利用导电保护部对有源层进行有效保护,可实现一次构图工艺制作过孔后氢氟酸清洗的正常进行,避免了氢氟酸对氧化物薄膜晶体管的有源层的影响,同时简化了制作流程,进而降低生产成本,同时,氧化物薄膜晶体管采用顶栅结构,导电保护部可与氧化物薄膜晶体管的第二栅极图案同层设置,可通过一次构图工艺形成以减少工艺步骤。
