The drain 105 of the thin film transistor 10 is contacted. The source 104 and the drain 105 of the thin film transistor 10 respectively contact both sides of the semiconductor layer 101 of the thin film transistor 10, the source 104 is in contact with the semiconductor layer 101, and the drain 105 and the semiconductor layer 101 are The contact is a metal-semiconductor contact. Due to the strong Fermi level pinning effect at the contact interface between the semiconductor and the metal, the contact barrier between the metal and the semiconductor is high, and the contact resistance is large; in addition, the anode 300 and the thin film transistor There is also an electrode contact resistance between the drains 105 of 10. The superposition of these two types of contact resistance results in a large on-resistance of the OLED display, so that the energy consumption of the OLED display is high.
降低导通电阻是降低OLED显示器能耗的关键因素,现有的降低OLED显示器导通电阻的方法一是在所述源极104与半导体层101之间及所述漏极105与半导体层101之间加入一定厚度的绝缘的非金属氧化物介质层,如氧化硅(SiOx)、氮化硅(SiNx)等,形成金属-介质层-半导体结构(Metal-Interfacial layer-Semi conductor,MIS),以减轻费米能级钉扎效应,但是介质层的绝缘性会使得介质层本身引起额外的电阻串联;二是在制作完所述阳极300之后进行金属退火处理来释放各结构层材料的应力,以降低所述阳极300与薄膜晶体管10的漏极105之间的接触电阻,但效果有限。Reducing the on-resistance is a key factor for reducing the power consumption of the OLED display. The existing method for reducing the on-resistance of the OLED display is one between the source 104 and the semiconductor layer 101 and between the drain 105 and the semiconductor layer 101. A thickness of an insulating non-metal oxide dielectric layer, such as silicon oxide (SiOx), silicon nitride (SiNx), or the like, is formed to form a Metal-Interfacial Layer-Semi Conductor (MIS). Reducing the Fermi level pinning effect, but the insulation of the dielectric layer causes the dielectric layer itself to cause additional resistance in series; the second is to perform metal annealing treatment after the anode 300 is fabricated to release the stress of each structural layer material, The contact resistance between the anode 300 and the drain 105 of the thin film transistor 10 is lowered, but the effect is limited.
