More than.In addition, if form the 1st layer dielectric film 25, then as shown in Fig. 3 D, by etching mode, the part that only will be positioned on the 1st layer the auxiliary capacitance electrode 18a of dielectric film 25 is removed, and forms window portion 27.
In addition, after above-mentioned steps is finished,, form the 2nd layer thin dielectric film 26 of dielectric film 25 than the 1st layer according to the mode that covers transparent substrates 11 as shown in Fig. 3 E.Because the 2nd layer dielectric film 26 is formed at the 1st layer dielectric film 25 and get rid of by above-mentioned etching on the 1st layer the auxiliary capacitance electrode 18a of dielectric film 25, so sweep trace 16 and grid G are by the 1st layer dielectric film 25 and dielectric film 26 the two coverings of the 2nd layer, by 2 tunics, constitute gate insulating film.In addition, auxiliary capacitance electrode 18a only passes through the 2nd layer dielectric film 26 coverings.In addition, the material of the 2nd layer dielectric film 26 both can be and the 1st layer dielectric film 25 identical materials,, by the material that silicon nitride forms, also can be other dielectric film that is, such as, monox etc.The dielectric film 25 of its thickness than the 1st layer is thin, best, 500~1500

For such structure, its purpose is at the mode identical with gate insulating film, on main of the auxiliary capacitance electrode 18a of auxiliary capacitance line, formation is less than the thickness of grid part, that is, and and the dielectric film of the thickness around the auxiliary capacitance line, thus, also consider to form especially the 2nd layer dielectric film 26, still, gate insulating film can be such as, 2~5 layers sandwich construction, insulation course is made of wherein 1 layer at least, is that effectively the quality of film is good like this.In this occasion, also can change etching characteristic by changing the processing such as quality of film, adopt gate insulating film to form one deck of the bottom wherein as sandwich construction.Best, adopt following effective and efficient manner, that is, form the 1st layer of aforesaid thickness, by etching, it is removed processing, until electrode surface, form the insulation course that is formed by film thereon, thus, insulation course is the one deck that is formed on the face side of gate insulating film.Thus, insulation course can be made of the thinnest layer in the multilayer that constitutes gate insulating film, can further increase auxiliary capacitor.
Then, as shown in Fig. 3 F, on the 2nd layer insulation course 26, according to 1800
Figure C200610154123D0020140135QIETU
Thickness, form silicon layer, such as, the film of a-Si.In addition, as shown in Fig. 3 G, the part of residual cover gate G by etching, is removed a-Si layer, forms the semiconductor layer 19 of a part that constitutes TFT.Then,,, on transparent substrates 11, form the film of conductive materials, to along the many signal wires 17 that extend with the perpendicular direction of sweep trace 16 as shown in Fig. 4 A by identical mode; Extend the source S that is connected with semiconductor layer 19 from this signal wire 17; Cover auxiliary capacitance electrode 18a, and the drain D that an end is connected with semiconductor layer 19 is carried out the pattern-making processing.Thus, near the cross part of the sweep trace 16 of transparent substrates 11 and signal wire 17, form the TFT that constitutes on-off element.
Then; as shown in Fig. 4 B; according to the mode that covers various wirings; on transparent substrates 11, be formed for surface-stable, the protection dielectric film 28 that forms by inorganic insulating material, then; as shown in Fig. 4 C; film 29 between cambium layer, and this interlayer film 29 is used to make having an even surface of array substrate 13, is formed by organic insulation.In addition, be positioned at part on the auxiliary capacitance electrode 18a in this interlayer film 29, offer the hole, this hole forms and is used for contact hole 30 that pixel capacitors 20 described later and drain D are electrically connected, and still, the position in this hole is not limited on the auxiliary capacitance electrode 18a.Owing to forming LCD 10, when fitting with color filter substrate 14, the substrate spacing of part that is formed with contact hole 30 is different with other part, so have the danger that produces surface quality difference, like this, best, be arranged on the auxiliary capacitance electrode 18a as being in the light property material.In addition; as shown in Fig. 4 D; expose in the hole of removal from be formed at interlayer film 29; after the protection dielectric film 28 that forms by inorganic insulating material; at last, as shown in Fig. 4 E, at 1 pixel area that centers on by sweep trace 16 and signal wire 17; formation is by the pixel capacitors 20 that forms such as, ITO (IndiumTin Oxide).At this moment, best, be positioned on sweep trace 16 and the signal wire 17 according to its part, and the mode that the pixel capacitors 20 of adjacency is in contactless state is provided with.By above step, manufacturing array substrate 13.
The auxiliary capacitor of the array substrate 13 that forms by the above-mentioned manufacture method drain D that to be electrode be connected with pixel capacitors 20 with auxiliary capacitance electrode 18a is to be 1000 as thickness by dielectric
Figure C200610154123D0020140135QIETU
The capacitor arrangement of the 2nd layer insulation course 26 constitute.So because as prior art, dielectric is a thickness less than 2500~4500
Figure C200610154123D0020140135QIETU
Scope in the dielectric film of gate insulating film, so can increase capacitor volume significantly.In addition and since grid G and sweep trace 16 by the 1st layer dielectric film 25 and the laminated body of the 2nd layer dielectric film 26 cover, so guarantee its insulativity.
In addition, can reduce to constitute the electrode part of auxiliary capacitor, can improve the aperture opening ratio of pixel by increasing condenser capacity.In addition because the drain electrode double as constitutes the electrode of auxiliary capacitor, so with the drain D of the electrode that is provided as auxiliary capacitor beyond, the occasion of special electrode (conductive layer) is compared, and can reduce the interior part that is in the light of pixel, can further improve aperture opening ratio.
In order to increase the capacity of auxiliary capacitor, can form whole part of auxiliary capacitor, reduce the thickness of dielectric film.In the present embodiment, owing to, reduce the thickness of the dielectric film of auxiliary capacitor part, so in order to increase electric capacity, the part of insulation course 25 that can make the 1st layer of removal is greater than auxiliary capacitance electrode 18a by removing the 1st layer dielectric film 25 partly.That is, the edge of the window portion 27 of the 1st layer dielectric film 25 can be positioned at the outside at the edge of auxiliary capacitance electrode 18a.But in the occasion of the electrode of drain D double as auxiliary capacitor, auxiliary capacitor is provided with near sweep trace 16.Thus, if reduce the thickness of dielectric film, until the outside of auxiliary capacitor part, the spacing that then has the top electrode (drain D) of auxiliary capacitor and sweep trace 16 is too approaching, the problem of stray capacitance etc.So, occasion at the top electrode of drain electrode double as auxiliary capacitor, in the spacing of top electrode that enlarges auxiliary capacitor and sweep trace 16, must reduce the thickness of the dielectric film of auxiliary capacitor part, the edge of thin part of dielectric film is positioned at the inboard at the edge of auxiliary capacitance electrode 18a.In addition, owing to be formed near the edge of the auxiliary capacitance electrode 18a in the dielectric film on the auxiliary capacitance electrode 18a thickness easily less than other part, so can make near the thickness of the thickness of the dielectric film in the edge of auxiliary capacitance electrode 18a greater than near the dielectric film the pars intermedia of auxiliary capacitance electrode 18a, so that also guarantee near the edge of auxiliary capacitance electrode 18a the electrostatic withstand voltage of auxiliary capacitance electrode 18a and top electrode.In the present embodiment, the edge of the part (window portion 27) by making the dielectric film 25 of removing the 1st layer is positioned at the inboard of auxiliary capacitance electrode 18a, between the sweep trace 16 of the top electrode (drain D) of itself and auxiliary capacitor, obtain sufficient spacing, and guarantee the electrostatic withstand voltage of top electrode and auxiliary capacitance electrode.
In the present embodiment, method as the dielectric film that reduces auxiliary capacitor part at first forms the 1st layer dielectric film, fully remove in the 1st layer the dielectric film with the corresponding part of auxiliary capacitance electrode, thereon, stacked the 2nd layer the dielectric film that is thinner than the 1st layer dielectric film.Method as the thickness that reduces auxiliary capacitor dielectric film partly, in addition, also have and also form certain thickness dielectric film earlier, partly this dielectric film is carried out etching, reduce the method for its thickness, still, in the occasion of present embodiment, control the thickness of the dielectric film of auxiliary capacitor part easily, form the dielectric film of uniform thickness.
As above-described, according to LCD of the present invention, because under the situation of the area that does not increase the auxiliary capacitance electrode that forms by being in the light property material, can increase the electric capacity of auxiliary capacitor, in addition, pixel capacitors 20 is positioned on sweep trace 16 and the signal wire 17 according to its part, and the mode that the pixel capacitors 20 of adjacency is in notconnect state is provided with, so do not reduce the aperture opening ratio of each pixel, the demonstration that can suppress cross (talk) and flicker etc. is bad.In addition, because pixel capacitors 20 is arranged on the flat interlayer film 29,, like this, obtain the good LCD 10 of display quality so can make the box gap of the LCD 10 that is obtained even.
In addition, in LCD of the present invention is not transmission-type, but the occasion of Semitransmissive, form small jog partly on the surface of the interlayer film 29 in the zone except contact hole 30 that can be in being formed at pixel capacitors, and between this jog and pixel capacitors 20, or on the surface of pixel capacitors 20, form the reflectance coating that forms by light reflecting material.In the LCD of Semitransmissive, because the area of its transmissive portions is less than the LCD of transmission-type, so but be effective especially for the LCD of the present invention and the manufacture method thereof of the area of enlarged openings portion.In addition, plan be the occasion of reflection-type in this LCD, can and interlayer film 29 between, or at the whole zone on the surface of pixel capacitors 20, formation reflectance coating.
Embodiment 2
Below by Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 the manufacturing step of the array substrate of the LCD 10A of embodiment 2 is described.In addition, be equivalent to represent that with perspective fashion the amplification view of part of a pixel of array substrate of color filter substrate of LCD 10A of embodiment 2 is identical with the occasion of the LCD 1 of embodiment 1 shown in Figure 1, the occasion with along the LCD 10 of the corresponding figure of cut-open view of II-II line of Fig. 1 and embodiment 1 shown in Figure 2 in the array substrate of this embodiment 2 is identical, thus, as required, quote Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 and be described, the part identical with the structure of the LCD 10 of embodiment 1 adopts same label and is described.In addition, Fig. 5 A~Fig. 5 E and Fig. 6 A~Fig. 6 E are the cut-open view of the manufacturing step of the array substrate of the LCD 10A of expression manufacturing embodiment 2.In addition, Fig. 5 A~Fig. 5 E and Fig. 6 A~Fig. 6 E all represent and state along the corresponding position of section of II-II line of Fig. 1.
At first,, on transparent substrates 11, form specific thickness, the conductive layer 24 that forms by aluminium, molybdenum, chromium or their alloy as shown in Fig. 5 A.Then, as shown in Fig. 5 B, adopt known photoetching process, carry out pattern-making and handle, remove its part by etching thus, form along the many sweep traces 16 of horizontal expansion, the grid G that is connected with this sweep trace 16 and the auxiliary capacitance line 18 between these a plurality of sweep traces 16.In addition, in Fig. 5 B, the amplitude that the part by the grid G that will extend from sweep trace 16 and auxiliary capacitance line 18 is shown enlarges the auxiliary capacitance electrode 18a that forms.
Then, as shown in Fig. 5 C, to be formed with the inside of the transparent substrates 11 of sweep trace 16 and auxiliary capacitance electrode 18a by above-mentioned steps at vacuum plant, at high temperature, such as, heat under 350 ℃ the condition, according to conventional method, by plasma CVD (Chemical Vpordeposition) method etc., form from the teeth outwards specific thickness (such as, 1000
Figure C200610154123D0020140135QIETU
), the 1st layer the dielectric film 25 that forms by silicon nitride.Then, the temperature of transparent substrates 11 that is formed with the 1st layer dielectric film 25 from the teeth outwards is reduced to the temperature that is lower than initial temperature, such as, 250 ℃, equally by plasma CVD method etc., form specific thickness (such as, 3000
Figure C200610154123D0020140135QIETU
), the 2nd layer the dielectric film 26 that forms by silicon nitride.The two constitutes gate insulating films the dielectric film 26 of the 1st layer dielectric film 25 and the 2nd layer.In addition, on the whole surface of the 2nd layer dielectric film 26, thickness is (such as, a-Si layer 1800 according to the rules

And n +A-Si layer 500
Figure C200610154123D0020140135QIETU
) form by such as, a-Si layer and n +The semiconductor layer 19 that a-Si layer constitutes.
The 1st layer dielectric film 25, the 2nd layer dielectric film 26 and semiconductor layer 19 all can form under the situation of not taking out transparent substrates 11 from vacuum plant continuously.In addition, in the dielectric film 26 of the 1st layer dielectric film 25 and the 2nd layer, because the underlayer temperature difference when the corresponding insulation film forms, even so under situation about forming by identical silicon nitride, the hardness of film is still different, the 1st layer dielectric film 25 hardening that underlayer temperature is high, thus, the Wet-type etching rate of buffer fluoric acid reduces.Best, only otherwise produce short circuit, the thickness of the 1st layer dielectric film 25 is as much as possible little, and this thickness can be 500~1500
Figure C200610154123D0020140135QIETU
Scope in.In addition, the two gross thickness of the dielectric film 26 of the 1st layer dielectric film 25 and the 2nd layer can be 2500~5500
Figure C200610154123D0020140135QIETU
Scope in so that not in the grid G part of TFT, because of static produces insulation breakdown.
Here, the underlayer temperature when changing stacked dielectric film forms the different dielectric film of rate of etch, still, in addition, also can change the composition of atmosphere gas, forms the different dielectric film of rate of etch.Such as, in the occasion that forms silicon nitride, adopt silane gas and nitrogen, still, when forming the 2nd layer, compare with the occasion that forms the 1st layer, increase the ratio of silane gas, thus, can increase the hardness of the 1st layer dielectric film.
Then, as shown in Fig. 5 D, mode according to residual semiconductor layer 19 on the surface of the grid G of TFT is removed semiconductor layer 19 by dry-etching, then, the mode of exposing according to the 1st layer dielectric film 25, by adopting the Wet-type etching of fluoric acid, or dry-etching and remove the 2nd layer the dielectric film 26 on the surface of auxiliary capacitance electrode 18a, window portion 27 formed.At this moment, because the etching speed of the 1st layer dielectric film 25 is slower than the etching speed of the 2nd layer dielectric film 26, so the 1st layer dielectric film 25 can substantially not have etched state left behind.
Then, on transparent substrates 11, form the conductive layer that forms by aluminium, molybdenum, chromium or their alloy, then, as shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 5 E, to the many signal wires 17 of the perpendicular direction extension of edge and sweep trace 16; Extend the source S that is connected with semiconductor layer 19 from this signal wire 17; Cover auxiliary capacitance electrode 18a, and the drain D that an end is connected with semiconductor layer 19 is carried out the pattern-making processing.Thus, near the cross part of the sweep trace 16 of transparent substrates 11 and signal wire 17, form the TFT that constitutes on-off element.
In addition; as shown in Fig. 6 A; according to the mode that covers various wirings; on transparent substrates 11, be formed for surface-stable; by inorganic insulating material (such as; silicon nitride) the protection dielectric film 28 of Xing Chenging; then, as shown in Fig. 6 B, film 29 between cambium layer; this interlayer film 29 is used to make having an even surface of array substrate 13; form by organic insulation with polyimide etc., then, as shown in Fig. 6 C; by etching, be positioned at the interlayer film 29 on the auxiliary capacitance electrode 18a and protecting formation contact hole 30 on the dielectric film 28.In addition, the position that forms this contact hole 30 is not limited on the auxiliary capacitance electrode 18a, but owing to forming LCD 10, when fitting with color filter substrate 14, be formed with the substrate spacing of the part of contact hole 30, promptly the box gap is different with other part, so have the danger that produces surface quality difference, like this, best, be arranged on the auxiliary capacitance electrode 18a as being in the light property material.
In addition, as shown in Fig. 6 D, at 1 pixel area that centers on by sweep trace 16 and signal wire 17, form by such as, the pixel capacitors 20 that ITO forms.At this moment, best, be positioned on sweep trace 16 and the signal wire 17 according to the part of pixel capacitors 20, and the mode that the pixel capacitors 20 of adjacency is in contactless state is provided with, so that prevent light leak.By above step, manufacturing array substrate 13.
In the auxiliary capacitor of the array substrate 13 of the LCD 10A of the embodiment 2 that forms by above-mentioned manufacture method, auxiliary capacitance electrode 18a and the drain D that is connected with pixel capacitors 20 are equivalent to the electrode of capacitor, be arranged at the 1st layer dielectric film 25 between auxiliary capacitance electrode 18a and the drain D and be equivalent to the dielectric of capacitor, in addition, the thickness of the dielectric that forms by the 1st layer dielectric film 25 can be significantly less than the gate insulating film that uses in the past 2500~4500
Figure C200610154123D0020140135QIETU
Scope in thickness, it is 500~1500
Figure C200610154123D0020140135QIETU
Scope in, thus,, still can increase auxiliary capacitor significantly even do not increase the area of auxiliary capacitance electrode 18a.In addition, because the gate insulating film covering that grid G and sweep trace 16 are formed by the laminated body of the dielectric film 26 of the dielectric film 25 by the 1st layer and the 2nd layer, so guarantee insulativity fully.
As described above, according to the LCD of embodiment 2, owing to can under the situation of the area that does not increase the auxiliary capacitance electrode 18a that forms by being in the light property material, increase auxiliary capacitor, so do not reduce the aperture opening ratio of each pixel, the demonstration that can suppress cross (talk) and flicker etc. is bad.In addition, because pixel capacitors 20 is arranged on the smooth interlayer film 29,, obtain the good LCD of display quality like this so can make the box gap of the LCD 10A that is obtained even.
In addition, in the foregoing description 2, provide the example that the dielectric film 26 of the 1st layer dielectric film 25 and the 2nd layer forms by silicon nitride, but, both also can form by monox, in addition, any one in dielectric film 25 that also can the 1st layer and the 2nd layer the dielectric film 26 adopts monox, and another person adopts silicon nitride.The fast layer of rate of etch can be positioned at top layer, and in addition, if from the aspect of insulativity, the 2nd layer dielectric film 26 can be formed by silicon nitride.In addition, but also auxiliary capacitance line is formed by aluminium, and anodized is carried out on its surface, forms aluminium oxide, and this film constitutes the dielectric film of auxiliary capacity part.

) dielectric film 26 '.Then, as shown in Fig. 8 A, by ashing treatment (ashing), remove thin photo-etch layer 31 2, semiconductor layer 19 is exposed.At this moment, be positioned at thicker photo-etch layer 31 on the grid G 1At the state of thickness attenuation, residual at the state that covers semiconductor layer 19, so that its part is carried out ashing treatment (ashing).Then, as shown in Fig. 8 B, remove the semiconductor layer 19 that exposes by dry-etching.
Then, by ashing treatment (ashing), removal is positioned at the thicker photo-etch layer 311 on the grid G, on transparent substrates 11, the conductive layer 24 that formation is formed by aluminium, molybdenum, chromium or their alloy, then, as shown in Fig. 1 and the 8C, to along the many signal wires 17 that extend with the perpendicular direction of sweep trace 16; Extend the source S that is connected with semiconductor layer 19 from this signal wire 17; Cover auxiliary capacitance electrode 18a, and the drain D that an end is connected with semiconductor layer 19 is carried out the pattern-making processing.Thus, near the cross part of the sweep trace 16 of transparent substrates 11 and signal wire 17, form the TFT that constitutes on-off element.In addition; according to the mode that covers various wirings; on transparent substrates 11, be formed for surface-stable; by inorganic insulating material (such as; silicon nitride) the protection dielectric film 28 of Xing Chenging, then, film 29 between cambium layer; this interlayer film 29 is used to make having an even surface of array substrate 13, is formed by the organic insulation with polyimide etc.
Then, as shown in Fig. 8 D,, form contact hole 30 being positioned on interlayer film 29 on the auxiliary capacitance electrode 18a and the protection dielectric film 28 by etching.In addition, the position that forms this contact hole 30 is not limited on the auxiliary capacitance electrode 18a, but, owing to forming LCD 10, when fitting with color filter substrate 14, be formed with the substrate spacing of the part of contact hole 30, be that the box gap is different with other part, thus the danger that produces surface quality difference had, like this, best, be arranged on the auxiliary capacitance electrode 18a as being in the light property material.
In addition, as shown in Fig. 8 E, at 1 pixel area that centers on by sweep trace 16 and signal wire 17, form by such as, the pixel capacitors 20 that ITO or IZO etc. form.At this moment, best, be positioned on sweep trace 16 and the signal wire 17 according to the part of pixel capacitors 20, and the mode that the pixel capacitors 20 of adjacency is in contactless state is provided with, so that prevent light leak.By above step, make the array substrate 13 of the LCD 10B of embodiment 3.
In the auxiliary capacitor of the array substrate 13 of the LCD 10A of the embodiment 3 that forms by above-mentioned manufacture method, auxiliary capacitance electrode 18a and the drain D that is connected with pixel capacitors 20 are equivalent to the electrode of capacitor, be arranged at the 1st layer dielectric film 26 ' between auxiliary capacitance electrode 18a and the drain D and be equivalent to the dielectric of capacitor, in addition, the thickness of the dielectric that forms by the 1st layer dielectric film 26 ' can be significantly less than the gate insulating film that uses in the past 2500~4500
Figure C200610154123D0020140135QIETU
Scope in thickness, the former thickness is 500~1500
Figure C200610154123D0020140135QIETU
Scope in, thus,, still can increase auxiliary capacitor significantly even do not increase the area of auxiliary capacitance electrode 18a.In addition, grid G and sweep trace 16 are by passing through the gate insulating film covering that the dielectric film 25 ' of its thickness greater than dielectric film 26 ' forms, so guarantee insulativity fully.
In addition, in the foregoing description 3, provide the example that the dielectric film 26 of the 1st layer dielectric film 25 and the 2nd layer forms by silicon nitride, but, in such occasion, because dielectric film 25 ' is a homogeneous, so dielectric film 25 ' is being carried out wet etch process by buffer fluoric acid, when forming thin dielectric film 26 ', must strictly manage according to etching period.But, if dielectric film 25 ' is the sandwich construction that is formed by the different material of etching speed, then can make etching condition more flexible, make easily.Such as, initial, the temperature of raising transparent substrates 11, the silicon nitride film of hard is set, then, if reduce the temperature of transparent substrates 11, stacked soft silicon nitride film, then for soft silicon nitride film, because by buffer fluoric acid, etching speed increases, even so under the situation of error with etching period a little, silicon nitride film to the hard of bottom carries out etching hardly, like this, can obtain the insulation course 26 of correct thickness.
Also have, dielectric film 25 ' can be formed by the simple layer of monox, in addition, also can be made of the sandwich construction of silicon nitride layer and silicon oxide layer.But if from the aspect of insulativity, top layer can be formed by silicon nitride film.
Have, in the foregoing description 3, provide the example that dielectric film 25 ' and dielectric film 26 ' form by silicon nitride, still, both all can be formed by monox etc., and in addition, also can make 1 in the 1st dielectric film and the 2nd dielectric film is monox, and another person is a silicon nitride.
As recited above, if adopt the LCD 10B of embodiment 3, owing under the situation of the area that does not increase auxiliary capacitance electrode 18a, can increase the electric capacity of auxiliary capacitor, so do not reduce the aperture opening ratio of each pixel, the demonstration that can suppress cross (talk) and flicker etc. is bad.In addition, manufacture method according to the LCD 10B of embodiment 3, if in order to form gate insulating film and semiconductor layer successively continuously, after forming gate insulating film and carrying out etching step, compare with the method for the existing example that forms semiconductor layer, then can with substrate around from atmospheric pressure state, the step that remains on vacuum state reduces 1 time, and by half-tone (half-tone) mask, the light resist layer on every side that residues in auxiliary capacitance line is carried out mask process, by etching, can remove the lip-deep semiconductor layer that is positioned at auxiliary capacitance line, in addition, owing to be difficult to be subjected to the influence of the pollution that the etching step at gate insulating film produces, so the minimizing of the situation of the characteristic variation of TFT.In addition, manufacture method according to the LCD 10B of embodiment 3, because after the semiconductor layer to the surface of auxiliary capacitance line carries out etch processes, can carry out mask process to residual light resist layer and semiconductor layer same as before,, form insulation course by etching, so needn't be after forming insulation course, the situation that the etching step of semiconductor layer increases particularly needn't be provided with lithography step when forming insulation course.
