L〇7a, 107b, and a bottom gate type laminated TFT is obtained. In the bottom gate type multilayer TFT as described above, a channel is formed at the interface between the gate insulating film 103 and the active layer 104a. Further, by setting the impurity concentration of the active layer 1 〇 4a to 1017 / cm 3 or less, the active layer 1 〇 4 & can function as an electric field relaxation region. (Patent Document 1 below) On the other hand, Fig. 10 (1) is a cross-sectional view of a multilayer gate type multilayer TFT. In order to form the top gate type multilayer TFT shown in this figure, first, after the polysilicon film 202 is formed on the substrate 2〇i, the source and the drain are used by ion implantation using the photoresist pattern as a mask. The impurity for formation is added to the polycrystalline dicing film 2〇2, and then, the source region button and the drain region 202b are formed by patterning the polysilicon film 202. Then, the amorphous germanium film 203 is formed in a state in which the source region 2〇2a and the drain region 2〇2b are covered, and the amorphous germanium film 203 is irradiated with laser light to be crystallized, and then patterned by patterning. An active layer 203a formed of a polycrystalline crucible φ is formed. Next, a dummy insulating film 204 is formed on the active layer 2A3a (illustrated only in the cross-sectional view), and then, the gate layer 2 is patterned by forming a gate electrode 2 on the active layer. 5, thereby obtaining a top-closed-type laminated TFT. Further, the gate 2〇5 is set to move a with respect to the source region, and the non-polar region 202b has a predetermined overlapping portion d1, thereby preventing In the electrode 205 and the source region 202a and the overlap portion μ of the pupil region 2, the parasitic capacitance generated in the gate region is excessively increased. (See Patent Document 2 below.) 94667.doc 1248683 [Patent Literature i] #开200 ii 〇2584 (refer to FIG. 1 and paragraphs 0009 to 0013 in the special opening) [Patent Document 2] Patent No. 275919 [Summary of the Invention] However, in a flat panel display using a TFT as a driving element The organic EL display is a display in which a self-luminous type element (organic anal element) is arranged, and has many excellent features such as color reproducibility, wide viewing angle, high-speed responsiveness, high contrast, etc., and is used for the organic EL. The organic anal component of the display is current driven Therefore, the pixel transistor to be driven is preferably a polycrystalline germanium tft using a polysilicon having excellent current driving capability. For this, in the above-mentioned laminated TFT, the active layer and the source and the gate are polycrystalline. In the conventional polycrystalline germanium TFT manufacturing process, as described above, the amorphous germanium film is irradiated with a laser beam to be melted and recrystallized to form a polycrystalline germanium film. According to this method, not only the crystallization process needs to be increased, but also the characteristics of the thin film transistor are deviated due to the deviation of the laser energy. In addition, especially in the formation of the source and the drain, ion doping is performed. The device and the ion implantation device are used to implant impurities, and the impurities are activated by thermal annealing or lamp annealing, etc. However, the so-called fourth generation of the substrate having a maximum substrate size of about 730 X 920 mm 2 can be applied to the limits of such devices. The substrate is extremely difficult to carry out further enlargement of the device, and has become a cause of hindering the enlargement of the display. In view of the above, it is an object of the present invention to provide a thin film. The method for producing a transistor and the thin film transistor formed by the method can form a thin film electrode which is fast in operation speed and can increase driving current and small difference in characteristics by using a polycrystalline semiconductor thin film in a lesser process 94667.doc 1248683 The first method for producing a thin film transistor of the present invention for achieving the object is characterized by the following steps. First, the reactivity of the reaction energy using a plurality of dissimilar gases is used. In the thermal CVD method, a source and a drain layer formed of an impurity-containing polycrystalline semiconductor thin film are formed on a substrate, and then a source region and a drain region are formed by patterning the source and drain layers. Thereafter, an active layer formed of a polycrystalline semiconductor thin film is formed in a state in which the source region and the drain region are covered by a reactive thermal CVD method using a reverse reaction of a plurality of different gases. Further, after the gate insulating film is formed on the upper portion of the active layer, the gate electrode is formed so as to overlap both ends of the source region and the drain region in a specific state via the gate insulating film and the active layer. . Further, the second manufacturing method is characterized by the following steps. First, a gate is formed on the substrate, and this is covered with a gate insulating film. Next, an active layer formed of a polycrystalline semiconductor thin film is formed on the gate insulating film by a reactive thermal cv〇 method using the reaction energy of a plurality of different gases. Thereafter, a source and a ruthenium layer formed of a polycrystalline semiconductor thin film containing impurities are formed on the active layer by a reactive thermal CVD method using the reaction energy of a plurality of different gases. Then, by patterning the source and drain layers, the source regions are formed such that the respective end portions are overlapped and disposed on the both ends of the gate via the gate insulating film and the active layer in a specific state. Bungee area. According to the first manufacturing method and the second manufacturing method, the active layer and the source and the drain layer are formed by reactive thermal CVD, and the process of crystallizing the semi-conductive 94667.doc 1248683 film is not required. Thus, a laminated thin film transistor in which these layers formed of a semiconductor thin film having a crystal structure in advance is laminated can be obtained. Therefore, by omitting the crystallization step, the active layer and the source and drain layers are formed of a crystalline semiconductor thin film, whereby a laminated thin film electricity having a faster operation speed than when an amorphous semiconductor thin film is used can be obtained. Crystal. Further, by omitting the crystallization step, it is not necessary to worry about various variations due to the crystallization step, so that the characteristics can be made uniform. Further, since the crystalline semiconductor thin film into which the impurity has been introduced is formed as the source and the drain layer, it is not necessary to carry out the step of introducing the impurity after the film formation. Further, in particular, according to the first manufacturing method, a top gate type thin film transistor can be obtained, and according to the second manufacturing method, a bottom gate type thin film transistor can be obtained. These thin film electromorphic systems are arranged such that the two sleeves of the gate are overlapped with the end portions of the source region and the drain region, respectively, via the gate insulating film and the active layer. Therefore, each of the gate-source regions and the gate-drain regions is in a state in which the active layer is sandwiched. Therefore, in the state of the thin film transistor 〇N, the portion of the active layer to be sandwiched is modulated by the electric field to have a low resistance, and the ON current is increased. Furthermore, the present invention is also a thin film semiconductor device obtained by the first manufacturing method and the second manufacturing method described above, and the active layer, the source region, and the non-polar region are reactive with a reaction energy of a plurality of different gases. A polycrystalline semiconductor thin film formed by a thermal Cvd method. Further, it is characterized in that the both end portions of the gate electrode and the end portions of the source region and the drain region are overlapped and arranged in a specific state via the gate insulating film and the active layer ′. As described in the above I, according to the method for producing a thin film transistor of the present invention, the active layer and the source and the drain layer are formed by a reactive thermal CVD method by using 94667.doc 1248683, and the process of crystallizing the semiconductor film is not required. And a process of adding a heterogeneous layer to the source and the drain layer, and using a polycrystalline semiconductor film having a high speed of operation, a laminated thin film electric power which can increase the ON current (that is, the drive current becomes large) can be obtained. Crystal. As a result, not only the manufacturing process can be simplified, but also the manufacturing cost can be reduced, and a thin film transistor in which the difference in crystallization is eliminated can be obtained. Further, as described above, by omitting the crystallization step and the impurity addition step, it is possible to form a thin film transistor having uniform characteristics for a large substrate, and to increase the size of the TF device having the thin film transistor. In addition, according to the thin film transistor of the present invention, the source and the drain layer and the active layer are formed by the polycrystalline semiconductor thin film obtained by the reactive thermal Cvd method, so that the operating speed of the laminated thin film transistor can be improved. The drive current can be increased by providing a specified overlap between the source region and the drain region and the gate. [Embodiment]

Here, a method of manufacturing the top gate type laminated TFT as a thin film semiconductor device will be described using these drawings, and a method of manufacturing the display device using the same will be further described. First, as shown in Fig. 2(a), an insulating substrate 21 is prepared. For the substrate 21, for example, AN635, AN100 manufactured by Asahi Glass Co., Ltd., Codel 737 manufactured by Corning Co., Ltd., Eagle 2000, or the like can be applied. Further, a film formation method such as plasma CVD or LPCVD is used to form a tantalum nitride (SiNx) film on the substrate as a buffer layer with a film thickness of about 5 Å to 400 nm. 22 and yttrium oxide (SiOx) film 23. After the above, a source and a drain layer 24 formed of a polycrystalline or polycrystalline stone containing an n-type (or p-type) impurity is formed on the hafnium oxide film 23 by a reactive thermal CVD method. . The source and drain layer 24 may be a single layer film or a laminated film containing polycrystalline germanium containing impurities and polycrystalline germanium containing impurities, and formed into a film thickness of 1 〇 to 2 〇〇 nm, and is 1 〇〇 nm. The film thickness is preferred. 94667.doc -13- 1248683 For example, when a source and a drain layer 24 formed of an n-type polycrystalline germanium is formed by a reactive thermal CVD method, the substrate temperature is maintained at 450 to 600 °C. Next, β is hexane oxide (Si2H6) or fluorine (F2) as a film forming gas, phosphine (PH3) is used as an impurity gas, and helium (He), nitrogen (N2), or argon (At*) is used as a diluent gas. ), 氪 (K〇, etc., an inert gas or hydrogen (H2). For gas flow, for example, acetylene (Si2H6) is 20 seem, fluorine (F2) is 0.8 seem, and phosphine (ΡΗ3) is 1 seem. The diluent gas sets helium (He) to 1000 to 4000 seem and maintains the gas pressure at about 600 Pa. Thereby, Si2H6 and F2 produce a thermogenic reaction, and the n-type is deposited at a reaction rate of about 0.2 nm/sec. The entanglement of the film. Crystallization occurs at the same time as the film is deposited. Therefore, the activation of the impurities is simultaneously performed. Further, when the source and the drain layer 24 formed of the p-type polysilicon are formed by the reactive thermal CVD method, As a film forming gas, the above phosphine (ΡΗ3) is replaced by diborane (Β2Η6) as an impurity gas. Further, a source formed by forming an n-type or p-type polycrystalline germanium by reactive thermal CVD is used. When the pole and the bungee layer are at 24 o'clock, the fluorine is replaced by germanium tetrafluoride (GeF4). By comparing the flow rate of oxirane (Si2H6) with germanium tetrafluoride (GeF4), an n-type or p-type polycrystalline germanium film having various 矽-锗 composition ratios can be obtained. As described above, in the formation of impurities containing impurities After the source of the polycrystal and the drain layer 24, the source and drain layers are patterned to form a source region 24a and a gate region 24b. Next, as shown in Fig. 2(b), In the state of being coated on the source region 24a and the drain region 24b, an active layer 25 formed of a polysiloxane or polycrystalline germanium containing no impurity 94647.doc -14-1248683 is formed by a reactive thermal CVD method. The film thickness of the layer 25 is about 20 to 100 nm, and it is preferable to form a film thickness of 4 Å. This film formation is carried out under the conditions of removing impurity gases in the film formation conditions described in Fig. 2(a). In addition, in order to avoid cross-contamination of impurities, a film formation process is performed in a processing chamber different from that of the above-described polycrystalline source and drain layer (24) containing impurities. The active layer 25 is patterned such that the ends are the source regions 24a and the drain regions 24b which are overlapped on both sides. Island shape. _ Next, as shown in Fig. 2(c), the substrate 1 is moved to a processing chamber where plasma CVD film formation is performed, and a film thickness of 10 to 200 nm is formed to form a film of yttrium oxide ( 81〇乂) The gate insulating film 26 is formed, and it is preferable to form a film thickness of 10 〇 nm. Next, as shown in FIG. 2(d), on the patterned active layer 25, The gate electrode 27 is formed by the pole insulating film 26. At this time, first, a film thickness of 5 Å to 250 nm is formed to form tantalum (Ta), molybdenum (Mo), tungsten (W), chromium (Cr), and copper (Cu). Or a conductive film formed of such an alloy, and then the conductive film is patterned to form a question electrode 27. In particular, the both ends of the gate electrode 27 are patterned to have a shape in which the gate insulating film 26 and the patterned active layer 25 are superposed on the end portions of the source region 24a and the drain region 24b. As shown in the plan view of Fig. 3, the overlapping portions d1 and d2 between the gate electrode 27 and the source region 24a and the gate region 24b of the active layer 25 described above have a plane overlapping. The size (width and area) of the overlapping portions dl and d2 is preferably small in order to reduce the parasitic capacitance. However, it is limited to the tolerance value of the photolithography process, and is set to an appropriate value, for example, 94667. .doc -15- 1248683 is in the range of about 0.5 to 1.0 μηη. Further, the overlapping portions d1 and d2 of the source region 24a and the drain region 24b and the both end portions of the gate 27 are based on, for example, reducing between the gate 27 and the source region 24a, and between the gate 27 and the gate region 24b. The parasitic, the purpose of the capacitor can also be set to an appropriate value. Further, the overlapping portions dl and d2 may be at least one of the gate 27 and the source 24a and between the gate 27 and the drain 24b. As described above, after the gate electrode 28 of the top gate type is formed, as shown in FIG. 4(e), the yttrium oxide film 3 1 and the upper portion thereof are continuously formed by the plasma CVD method in a state where the TFT 28 is covered. The tantalum nitride film 32 containing a hydrogen atom serves as an interlayer-insulating film. This interlayer insulating film is formed into a film thickness of 2 〇〇 to 4 〇〇 nm. Further, after film formation, hydrogenation annealing is performed at 350 to 4 Torr in a nitrogen (N2) atmosphere for about 丨 hours. After that, further, as shown in Fig. 4 (f), nitridation is performed. A connection hole is formed in the chip 32 and the yttrium oxide film 31, and an electrode for wiring such as aluminum ruthenium or the like is sputtered, and then patterned to form a wiring electrode 3 3 connected to the source region 24a and the drain region 24b. Then, a flattening insulating film 34 is formed by applying a propylene-based organic resin, an organic s-G, etc., and then a connection hole 34a which can reach the wiring electrode 33 is formed on the planarization insulating film 34, The electrode material film which becomes an anode such as Ah Cr or M 〇 is deposited by sputtering in a state of being buried in the connection hole 34a. Next, the electrode material film is patterned to form the pixel electrode 35. Next, After annealing for about 3 minutes in N2 at about 220 C, the hole transport layer 36, the light-emitting layer 37, and the electron transport layer 38 are sequentially laminated thereon, and the upper portion is formed to function as a transparent conductive layer. The common electrode of the cathode 39. 94667.doc -16- 1248683 The organic EL element 40 in which the organic layer formed by the hole transport layer 36, the light-emitting layer 37, and the electron transport layer 38 is sandwiched between the anode formed of the electrode 35 and the cathode formed of the common electrode 39. Though the illustration is omitted, the buffer layer is formed on the substrate by coating the organic EL element 40, and the opposite glass substrate is bonded to the substrate 1 in a state in which the organic EL element 40 is sandwiched. The display device is a top emission structure in which the illuminating light of the organic EL element 40 is taken out from the side of the transparent electrode 39 on the side opposite to the substrate 1 (opposite to the glass substrate side). Further, the display device is not limited to such a top emission. In the structure, the pixel electrode 35 is formed of a transparent conductive material, and a bottom emission structure in which the light emitted from the organic EL element 40 is taken out from the side of the substrate can be used. Further, the hole transport layer 36 and the light-emitting layer 37 are changed. And the laminated state of the organic layer formed by the electron transport layer 38 or the like, the pixel electrode 35 may be a cathode, and the common electrode 39 may be an anode. According to the above manufacturing method, a thin film is formed. In the case of the TFT 28, as described with reference to FIGS. 2(a) and 2(b), the source and the gate layer 24 and the active layer 25 are formed by the reactive heat cv D method. The step of crystallizing the semiconductor thin film can be obtained by laminating these layers formed of a semiconductor thin film having a crystal structure in advance. Therefore, not only the crystallization step but also the source cum can be omitted. The gate layer 24 and the active layer 25 are formed of a crystalline semiconductor thin film. A laminated thin film TFT 28 having a faster operation speed than that of an amorphous semiconductor thin film can be obtained. Since there is no need to worry about various errors due to the crystallization step, it contributes to the uniformity of characteristics. Further, as the source and the drain layer 24, since a crystalline semiconductor thin film to which impurities are previously added is formed, it is not necessary to carry out a step of adding impurities after film formation. Further, in particular, as shown in FIGS. 2(d) and 3, the gate 27 and the source are overlapped by the end portions of the gate electrode 27 at the end portions of the source region 24a and the drain region 24b. Between the regions 24a and between the gate 27 and the drain region 24b, the active layer 25 is partially sandwiched. Therefore, when the thin film TFT 28 is in the ON state, it is affected by the electric field caused by the voltage applied to the gate electrode 27, and the active layer 25 portion of the lower portion of the gate electrode 27 forms an inversion layer. Thereby, the resistance of the source region 24a end and the drain region 24b end is lowered, and the ON current of the laminated TFT 28 is increased, which contributes to an increase in the drive current. Further, when the build-up TFT is in the OFF state, the portion of the active layer 25 sandwiched between the gate 27 and the source region 24a and between the gate 27 and the drain region 24b is depleted and becomes high resistance. Therefore, the OFF current can be reduced. According to the above results, the laminated TFT 28 which is suitable for driving the organic EL element which increases the driving current by the polycrystalline semiconductor film having a high operating speed can be formed with a small number of steps, and a crystallization can be obtained. The deviation is eliminated? Thin film transistor of the ear. Further, as described above, since the crystallization step and the impurity addition step can be omitted, a thin film transistor having uniform properties can be formed on the large substrate, and the display device having the thin film transistor can be enlarged. Further, by increasing the size of the display device described above, the selection switch can be integrated into the peripheral circuit, and the connection terminals of the external circuit can be greatly reduced, contributing to a large-sized display device with high reliability, low cost, and low power consumption. Further, 94667.doc -18-1248683 has the advantage that Sb can be manufactured with high productivity and low cost for large displays such as large electroluminescent devices having a diagonal size exceeding 4 〇. In the present embodiment, a display device using an organic EL element will be described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to a display device using an organic EL element, and can be applied to a display device using a device such as an EL device or a liquid crystal display device as a whole. [Second Embodiment] The cross-sectional process diagrams of Figs. 5 to 6 are views for explaining the method of manufacturing the thin film transistor of the second embodiment. Here, a method of manufacturing a gate electrode of a bottom gate type as a thin film semiconductor device will be described based on the drawings, and a method of manufacturing the display device using the same will be further described. First, as shown in FIG. 5(a), a button, molybdenum (M〇), tungsten (W), and a film thickness of about 50 to 250 nm are formed on the insulating substrate 51 as in the first embodiment. A conductive film formed of a complex (Cr), copper (Cu) or the like, and then patterned to form a gate 52. Next, as shown in FIG. 5(b), a tantalum nitride film 53a (film thickness: 3 Å to 5 Å) and cerium oxide are continuously formed by a plasma CVD method, a normal pressure CVD method, or a CVD method. The film 53b (having a film thickness of about 50 to 200 nm) forms a gate insulating film 53 formed by such an interlayer film. Next, an active layer 54 formed of polycrystalline germanium or polycrystalline germanium containing no impurities is formed by a reactive thermal CVD method. This active layer 54 is formed into a film with a film thickness of about 20 to 100 nm. The film formation of the active layer 54 is carried out in the same manner as the film formation of the active layer (25) illustrated in Fig. 2(b) in the first embodiment. However, in order to adjust the Vth of the build-up TFT formed here, a small amount of impurity gas may be added to the film formation gas. Further, the impurity gas to be added is selected in accordance with the conductivity type of the laminated TFT in which 94667.doc • 19-1248683 is formed. Next, the ruthenium oxide film 55 is again deposited on the active layer 54 by a plasma CVD method at a film thickness of 100 to 200 nm. Then, as shown in Fig. 5(c), a photoresist pattern 56 is formed on the hafnium oxide film 55 by performing back exposure using the gate 52 as a photomask. Next, as shown in Fig. 5 (d), the ruthenium oxide film 55 is etched by using the photoresist pattern 56 as a mask to form an etch stop layer 55a made of ruthenium oxide. Thereafter, the photoresist pattern 56 is removed. Subsequently, as shown in Fig. 6(e), on the active layer 54 formed of the polycrystalline semiconductor containing no impurity, in a state of being coated on the etching stopper layer 55a, the film is formed to contain n-type (or p). The source and the drain layer formed by the polycrystalline germanium or polycrystalline germanium of the impurity. The film formation of this source and drain layer 56 is carried out in the same manner as the source and drain layers (24) illustrated in Fig. 2(a) in the first embodiment. After that, as shown in FIG. 6(f), the source and drain layers 56 and the active layer 54 are patterned into the same island shape across the gate 52. Next, the polycrystalline source and drain layer 56 containing impurities is separated on the gate 52 to form a source region 56a and a drain region 56b formed by the source and drain layers 56. ® At this time, as shown in the plan view of FIG. 7, the ends of the source region 56a and the drain region 56b are interposed such that the active layer 54 has a planar overlapping portion d1, d2 with respect to the gate 52. The remaining layer 5 5 a causes the source and the immersion layer to be separated by 5 6 . Here, the overlapping portions d1, d2 do not contain the portion where the etching stopper layer 55a is sandwiched. Further, the overlapping portions d1 and d2 are set in the same manner as in the first embodiment. Further, the two source regions 56 & and the drain region 56b constituting the laminated TFT 60 shown in the cross-sectional view of Fig. 6(f) may be a plurality of 94667.doc -20-1248683 gates patterned into a continuous strip shape. The three or more gates 52, which are omitted here, may be configured in a multiple gate structure. In this case, at least one of the gate 52 and the source region 56a constituting the plurality of gates, and at least one of the gate 52 and the gate region 56b may have overlapping portions. According to the above, the bottom gate type multilayer TFT 60 can be formed. Next, as shown in FIG. 6(g), the ruthenium oxide film 57 is formed by a plasma CVD method at a film thickness of 100 to 400 nm in a state where the build-up TFT 60 is coated, and further 100 to 400 nm. The film thickness of the film is continuously formed into a nitrogen-containing ruthenium film 58 containing hydrogen. After that, hydrogenation annealing was performed at 350 to 400 ° C for 1 hour in a nitrogen (N 2 ) atmosphere. Next, the process shown in FIG. 6(h) is performed in the same manner as described in FIG. 4(f) in the first embodiment, and the wiring electrodes 33 connected to the source region 56a and the drain region 56b are formed and flattened. The insulating film 34 and the organic EL element 40 connected to the wiring electrode 33 are bonded to the glass electrode to complete the display device. Even in the above-described manufacturing method, as in the first embodiment described above, when the thin film TFT 60 is formed, as described with reference to FIGS. 5(b) and 6(e), it is advantageous to form by reactive thermal CVD. The source and drain layers 56 and the active layer 54 are disposed in the gate by overlapping the ends of the source region 56a and the drain region 56b as illustrated in FIG. 6(f) and FIG. At both end portions of the pole 52, as in the first embodiment, the active layer 54 is partially sandwiched between the gate 52 and the source region 56a, and between the gate 52 and the gate region 56b. Therefore, the laminated TFT 60 which is suitable for driving the organic EL element which increases the drive current by the polycrystalline semiconductor film having a fast operation speed can be formed by a small number of processes and can be obtained by crystallization. The deviation is reduced by 94667.doc -21 - 1248683 laminated TFT 60. In addition, as described above, the layered TFT-60 having uniform characteristics can be formed on a large substrate by the crystallization process and the impurity addition step, and the size of the display device having the laminated TFT 60 can be increased. Further, in the structure of the bottom gate type multilayer TFT, the manufacturing method of the present invention is applied even if the wiring electrode 81 is provided directly above the source region 56a and the drain region 56b shown in Fig. 8. In this case, after the source and drain layers 56 described in FIG. 6(e) are formed, a formation layer of the wiring electrodes is provided on the upper portion of the source and drain layers, and thereafter, by simultaneously The formation of the source _ pole and the drain layer 56 and the wiring electrodes is patterned to reduce the number of light shi covers. However, in this case, before forming the formation layer of the wiring electrode on the upper portion of the source and the drain layer 56, the source electrode and the drain layer 56 may be reduced by hydrogen plasma, oxygen plasma, water vapor annealing or the like. Defect level in polysilicon. Even in the second embodiment, the source and drain layers 56 and the active layer 54 are formed by the reactive thermal CVD method, and the source region 56a and the drain region 5 are formed. The end portion of the crucible is disposed so as to overlap the both ends of the gate 52, and the same effect as that of the second embodiment can be obtained, and the effect of the number of the cover sheets is reduced by the second embodiment. .
