Please refer to FIGS. 1 to 5, which are schematic diagrams of a conventional method for fabricating a LTPS CMOS TFT 38 with a top gate structure. As shown in FIG. 1, the conventional LTPS CMOS TFT 38 is composed of an n-type low temperature polycrystalline silicon thin film transistor 34 (hereinafter referred to as NLTPS TFT) and a p-type low temperature polycrystalline silicon thin film transistor 36 (hereinafter referred to as PLTPS TFT). ). The conventional LTPS CMOS TFT 38 is fabricated on a glass substrate 10, and the surface of the glass substrate 10 includes a first region I and a second region Π, which are used to form the NLTPS TFT 34 and PLTPS required for driving 1C, respectively. TFT 36. In addition, the surface of the glass substrate 10 further includes a pixel array area (not shown in Fig. 1), which is used to form a plurality of NLTPS TFTs 34 arranged in an array and used as a pixel unit of a liquid crystal display 1237900 94 May 17, 2014 Amendment: switching device of 93132630. A conventional method is to form an amorphous silicon layer (α-Si layer (not shown in the r-th figure)) on the glass substrate 10, and then perform an annealing process to make the amorphous silicon layer The layer recrystallizes into a polycrystalline silicon layer (not shown in Figure 1). Then, a first photo-etching process (PEP) is performed to form a patterned polycrystalline silicon layer 12 on the first region 丨 and the second region 丨 丨 of the glass substrate 10, respectively, and then A low temperature deposition process to form a gate insulating (Gi) layer μ on the glass substrate 10 and cover the patterned polycrystalline silicon layer 12, and then form an aluminum metal on the gate insulating layer 14 Layer (not shown in Figure 1), and then a second lithography and money engraving process is performed to form NLTPS TFT 34 and PLTPS TFT 36 in the aluminum metal layer of the first region I and the second region, respectively. Gate electrode 16 〇 Next, as shown in FIG. 2, an ion implantation process 18 is performed using the gate electrode 16 as a mask to implant phosphorus ions into the non-gate electrode 16 to cover the patterned polycrystalline silicon layer 12 to form a plurality of n-type lightly doped regions 20. As shown in FIG. 3, a photoresist layer (not shown in FIG. 3) is formed on the glass substrate 10, and a third lithography and etching process is performed to form a pattern in the photoresist layer. The photoresist layer 22 covers the gate electrode 16 in the first region I and the second region II, and then an ion implantation process 24 is performed to insert arsenic 1237900 Case No. · 93128630 May 17, 1994 Correction ion implantation In the patterned polycrystalline silicon layer 12 not covered by the patterned photoresist layer 22, two N-type heavily doped regions 26s and 26d are formed. Among them, two N-type re-doped regions 26s and 26d are used as source and drain electrodes of NLTPS TFT 34, respectively, and are two lightly-doped regions on both sides of N-type heavily doped regions 26s and 26d. 20 is used as a lightly doped drain (LDD) of the NLTps TFT 34, and an undoped patterned polycrystalline silicon layer 12 located under the electrode 16 between the NLTPS TFT 34 is used as It is used as the channel area of NLTPS TFT 34. After that, the remaining patterned photoresist layer 22 is removed, and as shown in FIG. 4, another photoresist layer (not shown in FIG. 4) is formed on the glass substrate 10, and a fourth lithography and etching process is performed. In order to form a patterned photoresist layer 28 in the photoresist layer, then use the patterned photoresist layer 28 and the gate electrode 16 of pltPS TFT 36 as a mask to perform an ion implantation process 30. Boron ions are implanted into the patterned polycrystalline stone layer 12 not covered by the patterned photoresist layer 28 and the gate electrode 16 to form two p-type heavily doped regions 323 and 32d, which are used as PLTPS TFTs, respectively. The source electrode and the drain electrode of 36, and the undoped patterned polycrystalline silicon layer 12 below the gate electrode 16 are used as the channel region of the PLTPS TFT 36. Finally, as shown in FIG. 5, the remaining patterned photoresist layer 28 is removed to form NLTPS TFT 34 and PLTPS TFT 36 respectively, and the production of the conventional LTPS CMOS TFT 38 is completed. In short, the conventional method for making LTPS CMOS TFT 38 is to first modify the gate electrode 16 of NLTPS TFT36 and PLTPS TFT 36 on May 17, 1994, and then form N-type lightly doped drain electrodes 2 respectively. 〇, N-type source electrode and drain electrode, and P-type source electrode and drain electrode. Although the conventional method for manufacturing the LTPS CMOS TFT 38 has used the gate electrode 16 as a self-aligned mask to form the n-type lightly doped region 20, the source electrode and the electrode of the NLTPS TFT 34 are being formed. When the electrodes are used, another photoresist mask must be formed for implantation. However, when a lithography process is used to define the pattern of the photoresist mask using a stepper or a scanning machine, due to the differences in machine, substrate, product specifications, or other artificial or non-human factors, it may happen that Poor accuracy, that is, overlap (〇veHap> or misalignment). For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the patterned photoresist layer 22 may be shifted to the left, and some patterns are patterned. The polycrystalline silicon layer 25 is not doped, so that the range of the formed N-type drain electrode is smaller than expected. In addition, it is relatively easy to generate lightly doped drain electrodes 20 with inconsistent widths. This asymmetry Lightly doped drains not only fail to effectively suppress the hot electron effect, they can even cause leakage currents at the gate electrodes and cause the components to prematurely collapse. Therefore, 'How to make width-induced lightly doped And avoid the narrow range of the source electrode and the non-electrode electrode, so as to reduce the problem of poor alignment caused by the lithography process, thereby reducing the defects of the output components and improving the yield.

Wherein, each patterned polycrystalline silicon layer 42 includes a source-corrected π-mold shown on the 6th in May 1994 to form a patterned pole region, a drain region, and a channel region (1J on the substrate 40). (Not shown in Figure 6). It is also worth noting that the tempering process can also be implemented after the first microlithography and money carving. In addition, another buffer layer (not shown in FIG. 6) may be formed between the substrate 40 and the amorphous silicon layer to protect the substrate 40 from being damaged by the tempering process and the etching process. The material forming the conductive layer includes aluminum, tungsten (w), chromium (Cr), or molybdenum. The implantation concentration of the metal ion implantation process 52 is about 1E14 to 1E16, and then a low-temperature deposition process is performed on the substrate. A silicon dioxide layer or silicon nitride layer with a thickness of about 600 to 800 angstroms is formed thereon, which is used as a gate insulating layer 44 and covers the patterned polycrystalline silicon layer 42. A conductive layer 46 and a photoresist layer are sequentially formed on the electrode insulating layer 44 (not shown in FIG. 6). Then, a second lithography and photolithography process is performed, that is, a yellow light process is performed on the photoresist layer to form a patterned photoresist layer 48, and then a conductive layer not covered by the patterned photoresist layer 48 is etched. 46, as shown in FIG. 7, two openings 50 are formed in the conductive layer 46. Subsequently, an ion implantation process 52 is performed, and the N-type doped f is implanted into the source region and the secret region of the patterned compound 48 through two open σ 5Q self-alignment to separate one source of the NLTPS TFT 70. Electrode—and drain electrode 54d. Among them, 13 1237900 Case No .: 93132630 Amended on May 17, 1994 a toms / cm2 ’and the N-type replacement system contains arSenic (As) or phosphorous (P) atoms. Then, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, a trimming process is performed to reduce the width of the patterned photoresist layer 48 by a predetermined distance L, and then an etching process is performed to remove the unreduced patterning. The conductive layer 46 covered by the photoresist layer 55 makes the widths of the two openings 50 of the conductive layer 46 larger to form two wider openings 56, and simultaneously defines a gate electrode 58 of the NLTPS TFT 70. Then, an ion implantation process Φ 60 is performed, and the N-type dopant is self-aligned into the patterned polycrystalline silicon layer 42 through the two openings 56 to form two N-type lightly doped drain electrodes. The photoresist reduction process includes an ash process, a descum process, an ultraviolet irradiation process, or a curing process.

Some slight offset errors can also ensure the integrity of the gate electrode 64 to prevent the etching process from affecting the gate electrode 64. After removing the remaining patterned photoresist layer 62, a photoresist layer (not shown in FIGS. 13 and 14) is formed on the substrate 40 as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14_, and then a In the fourth lithography and etching process, a patterned photoresist layer 66 is formed in the photoresist layer, and then an ion implantation process 68 is performed to implant a P-type dopant into the unpatterned photoresist layer and the gate electrode. In the source region and the drain region of the patterned polycrystalline silicon layer 42 covered by the electrode 64, a source electrode 70s and a drain electrode 70d of the PLTPS TFT 72 are respectively formed. Finally, the patterned photoresist layer 66 is removed to form NLTPS TFT 70 and PLTPS · TFT 72 ′ and complete the fabrication of the LTPS CMOS TFT 74 of the present invention. Among them, the implantation concentration of the ion-implanted plutonium 68 is about 1E14 to 1E16 atoms / cm2 'and the P-type dopant contains boron (Bron) or boron fluoride (BF2).

Then, a photoresist layer is used as a mask to perform a N-type ion implantation process 96 to form ~ N-type heavily doped regions 98S and 98d in the patterned polycrystalline silicon layer 82. Next, the photoresist layer 88 is removed, and the gate electrode 94 and the conductive layer 86 are used as a mask to perform an N-type ion implantation process 100, in order to pattern the polycrystalline spar layer in the NLTPS chat area v. • A plurality of N-type lightly doped regions 102 and 104 are formed in the substrate. Among them, the two n-doped regions 98s and 98d are used as the source electrode and the non-electrode electrode of the NLTPS TFT 114, respectively, and are located between the N-type heavily-doped regions 98s and 98d-one N-type lightly doped The region 102 is used as a 16-12379 lightly-doped NLTPS TFT 114. Case No .: 93128630 Amended May 17, 1994 > and is located below the gate electrode 94 of the NLTPS TFT 114. The patterned polycrystalline spar layer 82 is used as a channel region of the NLTPS TFT 114. As shown in FIGS. 18 to 19, a photoresist layer (not shown in FIG. 18) is formed over the substrate 80, and a third lithography and etching process is performed, and a pattern is formed in the photoresist layer first. The photoresist layer 104 is patterned, and then the conductive layer 86 not covered by the patterned photoresist layer 104 is etched to form a gate electrode 106 as one of the PLTPS TFT 116, and then the patterned photoresist layer 1 is used as a mask. An ion implantation process 108 is performed to form two P-type heavily doped regions 11 s and u 0d in the source region and the drain region of the pltps TFT region VI, respectively, and are used as the PLTPS TFT 116. Source electrode and p-type drain electrode. As shown in FIG. 20 and FIG. 21, after removing the remaining patterned photoresist layer 104, a fourth lithography and etching process is performed immediately.
