其中, 隔离层 3采用具有由导电性向绝缘性转变性能的金属材 料(如纳米银)或金属氧化物材料(如氧化铟锡 IT0、掺铟氧化锌 IZ0、 铟镓锌氧化物 IGZ0)形成, 栅极 2采用铜或铝、 或者铜合金或铝合金 形成, 有源层 5采用金属氧化物如铟镓锌氧化物、铟锌氧化物、铟锡 氧化物或铟镓锡氧化物形成。

在详细说明制备方法之前, 首先对构图工艺进行解释: 构图工 艺, 可只包括光刻工艺, 或, 包括光刻工艺以及刻蚀步骤, 同时还可 以包括打印、 喷墨等其他用于形成预定图形的工艺; 光刻工艺, 是指 包括成膜、 曝光、 显影等工艺过程的利用光刻胶、掩模板、 曝光机等 形成图形的工艺。本发明中,可根据阵列基板所形成的结构选择相应 的构图工艺。
针对本实施例所提供的薄膜晶体管, 在栅极和有源层之间形成 隔离层的步骤中, 以光刻胶作为掩模,通过离子注入工艺或等离子处 理工艺,保留与有源层或栅极相对应的区域内的隔离层的导电性,而 将剩余区域的隔离层的导电性转变为绝缘性。
具体的, 该薄膜晶体管的制备方法具体包括如下步骤: 步骤 S 1 : 在基板 1上形成包括栅极 2的图形。
在该步骤之前, 即在形成栅极 2之前, 还可以进一步包括在基 板 1上形成包括缓冲层 8的图形的步骤。包括缓冲层 8的图形的具体 形成过程为: 在基板 1表面先沉积一层金属膜(如钼、 钛、 钼合金或 钛合金) , 然后经过曝光、 显影、 刻蚀形成与栅极 2相对应的形状。
接着, 如图 3-1所示, 将包括栅极 2的图形形成在缓冲层 8上, 缓冲层 8在正投影方向上与栅极 1重叠,栅极 2能非常牢固地附着在 该缓冲层 8上, 不容易脱落。
步骤 S2 :如图 3-2所示,在完成步骤 S 1的基板 1上形成隔离层 膜 30、 栅绝缘层膜 410和有源层膜 50。
该步骤中, 隔离层膜 30采用具有能够由导电性向绝缘性转变性 能的金属材料或金属氧化物材料形成,用于形成隔离层 3的材料在氩 气氛围中沉积而形成隔离层膜 30, 隔离层膜 30具有导电性; 栅极 2 采用铜形成, 有源层膜 50采用金属氧化物如铟镓锌氧化物、 铟锌氧 化物、 铟锡氧化物或铟镓锡氧化物形成。
步骤 S3 : 如图 3-3所示, 在完成步骤 S2的基板 1上, 通过构图 工艺, 形成包括有源层 5和栅绝缘层 41的图形, 有源层 5与栅极 2 相对设置; 如图 3-4所示, 通过离子注入工艺或等离子处理工艺, 形 成包括隔离层 3的图形。
该步骤具体包括:
步骤 S31 : 在完成步骤 S2的基板 1上涂敷光刻胶。
步骤 S32 :采用设置有有源层 5图形的掩模板,通过曝光工艺和 显影工艺, 形成光刻胶掩膜 10。
步骤 S33 : 通过第一次刻蚀工艺, 将有源层膜 50形成为包括有 源层 5的图形, 有源层 5的面积大于栅极 2的面积。
在该步骤中, 刻蚀工艺为湿刻工艺。 湿刻工艺中, 可采用添加 冰醋酸的硝酸和硫酸溶液等作为刻蚀介质, 在常温到 45度的条件下 进行刻蚀。
步骤 S34:通过第二次刻蚀工艺,将栅绝缘层膜 410形成包括栅 绝缘层 41的图形。
在该步骤中, 刻蚀工艺为干刻工艺, 干刻工艺中, 可采用含氟 元素的气体, 如 SF6、 CF4、 CHF3等气体或者前述气体与 02的混合气体 作为刻蚀介质,在反应离子刻蚀机、等离子体刻蚀机或反应耦合等离 子体刻蚀机等中进行刻蚀。
步骤 S35 :如图 3-4所示,通过离子注入工艺或等离子处理工艺, 保留与有源层 5对应的区域内的隔离层膜 30的导电性, 而将剩余区 域的隔离层膜 30的导电性转变为绝缘性, 以形成包括隔离层 3的图 形, 如图 3-5所示。
在该步骤中, 隔离层膜 30在氧气或氮气氛围中, 通过离子注入 工艺 (如注入氧离子) 或等离子处理工艺形成包括隔离层 3的图形, 隔离层 3在对应于有源层 5 的区域具有导电性, 在对应于有源层 5 以外的区域具有绝缘性。经过这样处理的隔离层 3能够对形成栅极 1 的铜离子或铝离子的扩散进行很好的阻隔。
其中, 隔离层具有良好地防止形成栅极 2 的铜离子或铝离子扩 散到有源层 5的作用; 栅绝缘层 41具有良好的防静电击穿的作用, 同时具有防止形成栅极 2 的铜离子或铝离子扩散到有源层 5的作用 (但相对隔离层 3其防扩散的能力较弱) 。
步骤 S36 : 如图 3-6所示, 通过剥离工艺, 将光刻胶掩膜 10去 除。
步骤 S4:如图 3-7所示,在完成步骤 S3的基板 1上形成包括源 极 6和漏极 7的图形。
在该步骤之前, 可以先在完成步骤 S3的基板 1上形成包括刻蚀 阻挡层 9的图形,然后再在刻蚀阻挡层 9上形成源极 6和漏极 7。即, 刻蚀阻挡层 9形成在有源层 5的上方以及源极 6和漏极 7的下方,刻 蚀阻挡层 9在对应于有源层 5的两端的位置处分别开设有过孔,源极 6和漏极 7分别通过该过孔与有源层 5连接。
至此, 底栅结构的薄膜晶体管即制备完成。
本实施例仅以薄膜晶体管中栅极在底部、 栅极的面积小于有源 层的面积、并且隔离层在正投影方向上与有源层重合作为示例。当形 成栅极的材料发生扩散时,其将会全部正向扩散至对应于有源层的区 域, 通过隔离层和绝缘层, 能更有效防止形成栅极的材料扩散, 例如 防止铜离子或铝离子扩散到有源层中,进而保证薄膜晶体管的性能的 稳定性。
这里应该理解的是, 当薄膜晶体管中栅极的面积大于有源层的 面积时,根据本实施例的制备方法中,隔离层在正投影方向上与有源 层重合。当形成栅极的材料扩散时,栅极的与有源层在正投影方向上 相对应的部分的铜离子或铝离子将会正向扩散至有源层,而栅极的超 出与有源层在正投影方向上相对应的部分的铜离子或铝离子将侧向 扩散至有源层,由于正向扩散的铜离子或铝离子占全部扩散铜离子或 铝离子的绝大部分, 因此, 通过隔离层和绝缘层, 同样能有效防止形 成栅极的材料的扩散到有源层中, 保证薄膜晶体管的性能的稳定性。
另外, 在底栅薄膜晶体管中, 当栅极的面积小于有源层的面积 时, 隔离层可以在正投影方向上与栅极重合。此时, 该薄膜晶体管的 制备方法可以包括以下步骤:在基板 1上形成包括栅极 2的图形;形 成隔离层膜 30, 随后采用设置有栅极 2图形的掩膜板来形成与栅极 图形相对应的隔离层 3 (隔离层的形成原理与上述的形成原理相同); 以及形成栅绝缘层膜 410和有源层膜 50, 随后通过构图工艺形成包 括栅绝缘层 41和有源层 5的图形。 实施例 2

6和漏极 7的部分侧壁和部分上表面, 钝化层 42和隔离层 3依次设 置在有源层 5的上方,缓冲层 8设置在隔离层 3的上方,栅极 2设置 在缓冲层 8上方。
需要说明的是, 本实施例具有顶栅结构的薄膜晶体管中可以在 有源层与源极和漏极之间设置刻蚀阻挡层, 也可以不设置刻蚀阻挡 层, 本实施例以不设置刻蚀阻挡层为例进行说明。
针对本实施例所提供的上述薄膜晶体管, 本实施例还提供一种 该薄膜晶体管的制备方法,与实施例 1中薄膜晶体管的制备方法所不 同的是: 该制备方法具体包括如下步骤:

7的图形。
步骤 S2, : 如图 5-2所示, 在完成步骤 S l, 的基板 1上形成包 括有源层 5和钝化层 42的图形, 在钝化层 42上形成隔离层膜 30和 栅极膜 20。
在该步骤中, 在钝化层 42上形成隔离层膜 30之后, 还可以在 隔离层膜 30的上方形成缓冲层膜 80, 例如采用钼、 钛、 钼合金或钛 合金材料通过沉积方式形成一层金属膜; 然后在缓冲层膜 80的上方 形成栅极膜 20。
步骤 S3, : 如图 5-3所示, 在完成步骤 S2, 的基板 1上, 通过 构图工艺,形成包括栅极 2的图形,其中有源层 5与栅极 2相对设置; 如图 5-4所示,通过离子注入工艺或等离子处理工艺,形成包括隔离 层 3的图形,如图 5-5所示。
在该步骤中, 在形成包括栅极 2 的图形之后, 通过刻蚀工艺形 成包括缓冲层 8的图形。缓冲层 8的形状与栅极 2的形状相对应,栅 极 2形成在缓冲层 8上,缓冲层 8在正投影方向上与栅极 2重叠,栅 极 2能非常牢固地附着在缓冲层 8上, 不容易脱落。
该步骤具体包括:
步骤 S31 ' : 在完成步骤 S2 ' 的基板 1上涂敷光刻胶。
步骤 S32 ' :采用设置有栅极 1图形的掩模板,通过曝光工艺和 显影工艺, 形成光刻胶掩膜 10。
步骤 S33 ' : 通过刻蚀工艺, 将栅极膜 20形成为包括栅极 2的 图形。
在该步骤中,将栅极膜 20形成为包括栅极 2的图形通常采用湿 刻工艺; 紧接着, 再通过一次刻蚀工艺, 将缓冲层膜 80形成包括缓 冲层 8的图形。
步骤 S34' :如图 5-4所示,通过离子注入工艺或等离子处理工 艺, 保留与栅极 2对应的区域内的隔离层膜 30的导电性, 而将剩余 区域的隔离层膜 30的导电性转变为绝缘性, 以形成包括隔离层 3的 图形, 如图 5-5所示。
步骤 S35 ' : 如图 5-6所示, 通过剥离工艺, 将光刻胶掩膜 10 去除。
本实施例中薄膜晶体管的其它结构、 材质以及薄膜晶体管的制 备方法与实施例 1相同, 此处不再赘述。
至此, 顶栅结构的薄膜晶体管即制备完成。
与实施例 1相同, 这里应该理解的是, 本实施例仅以薄膜晶体 管中栅极的面积小于有源层的面积作为示例,示出了隔离层在正投影 方向上与栅极重合。
当然, 对于顶栅薄膜晶体管中栅极的面积大于有源层的面积的 情况,隔离层在正投影方向上也可以与面积较小的有源层重合。此时, 该薄膜晶体管的制备方法可以包括步骤:在基板 1上形成包括源极 6 和漏极 7的图形; 形成包括有源层 5和钝化层 42的图形; 形成隔离 层膜 30, 随后采用设置有有源层 5图形的掩膜板来形成与有源层图 形相对应的隔离层 3 (隔离层的形成原理与上述的形成原理相同) ; 以及形成包括栅极 2的图形。
实施例 1-2的有益效果: 实施例 1-2所提供的薄膜晶体管通过 在栅极和有源层之间设置隔离层,相比于现有技术中在栅极和有源层 之间仅设置绝缘层,能更有效地防止形成栅极的材料(如铜离子或铝 离子) 扩散到有源层中, 进而保证薄膜晶体管的性能稳定。 实施例 3
