Description
本发明涉及显示技术领域,尤其涉及一种TFT阵列基板及其制作方法。
随着显示技术的发展,液晶显示器(Liquid Crystal Display,LCD)等平面显示装置因具有高画质、省电、机身薄及应用范围广等优点,而被广泛的应用于手机、电视、个人数字助理、数字相机、笔记本电脑、台式计算机等各种消费性电子产品,成为显示装置中的主流。
现有市场上的液晶显示装置大部分为背光型液晶显示器,其包括液晶显示面板及背光模组(backlight module)。液晶显示面板的工作原理是在两片平行的玻璃基板当中放置液晶分子,两片玻璃基板中间有许多垂直和水平的细小电线,通过通电与否来控制液晶分子改变方向,将背光模组的光线折射出来产生画面。
通常液晶显示面板由彩膜(CF,Color Filter)基板、薄膜晶体管(TFT,Thin Film
Transistor)基板、夹于彩膜基板与薄膜晶体管基板之间的液晶(LC,Liquid Crystal)及密封胶框(Sealant)组成,其成型工艺一般包括:前段阵列(Array)制程(薄膜、黄光、蚀刻及剥膜)、中段成盒(Cell)制程(TFT基板与CF基板贴合)及后段模组组装制程(驱动IC与印刷电路板压合)。其中,前段Array制程主要是形成TFT基板,以便于控制液晶分子的运动;中段Cell制程主要是在TFT基板与CF基板之间添加液晶;后段模组组装制程主要是驱动IC压合与印刷电路板的整合,进而驱动液晶分子转动,显示图像。
现有的TFT阵列基板通常采用非晶硅(a-Si)材料来制作半导体层,然而,随着液晶显示装置朝着大尺寸和高分辨率的方向发展,传统的a-Si的迁移率已经无法满足要求,以铟镓锌氧化物(IGZO)为代表的金属氧化物材料的迁移率高,而且相应薄膜晶体管的制备与现有的a-Si为半导体驱动的产线的兼容性好,近年来迅速成为显示领域研发的重点。
目前,IGZO 型TFT阵列基板一般采用刻蚀阻挡(ESL)结构或背沟道蚀刻(BCE)结构, ESL结构的IGZO 型阵列基板的制备过程较为复杂,需要光罩数量多,不利于降低成本。而BCE结构的IGZO型TFT阵列基板的制作过程为:如图1所示,先在衬底100上制作栅极200,在栅极200及衬底100上制作栅极绝缘层300,在栅极绝缘层300上制作位于栅极200上方的采用IGZO制作的有源层400,而后如图2所示,在有源层400上采用蚀刻金属层的方式制作间隔的源极500及漏极600,从而能够取消蚀阻挡层的制作,达到减少光罩的目的,然而现有的蚀刻液不可避免的会对IGZO的有源层造成一定程度的蚀刻,使IGZO的有源层的表面特性发生改变,从而使TFT阵列基板的稳定性变差。
本发明的目的在于提供一种TFT阵列基板的制作方法,能够避免源极及漏极制程对有源层的性能造成影响,提升产品品质。
本发明的另一目的在于提供一种TFT阵列基板,能够避免源极及漏极在制作时对有源层的性能造成影响,提升产品品质。

为更进一步阐述本发明所采取的技术手段及其效果,以下结合本发明的优选实施例及其附图进行详细描述。
请参阅图3,本发明提供一种TFT阵列基板的制作方法,包括如下步骤:
步骤S1、请参阅图4,提供衬底10,在衬底10上形成栅极20,在栅极20及衬底10上形成栅极绝缘层30,在栅极绝缘层30上形成位于栅极20上方的有源层40。
具体地,所述衬底10的材料为玻璃。
具体地,所述栅极20的材料为金属,进一步地,所述栅极20的材料为钼(Mo)、铝(Al)、铜(Cu)中的至少一种。
具体地,所述栅极绝缘层30的材料为氮化硅(SiNx)及氧化硅(SiOx)中的至少一种。
具体地,所述有源层40的材料为IGZO。
步骤S2、请参阅图5,在栅极绝缘层30及有源层40上形成导电保护膜59,利用该导电保护膜59对有源层40的表面进行保护。
具体地,在本发明的优选实施例中,所述导电保护膜59的材料为碳(C)原子。所述导电保护膜59的厚度可以为数个原子层厚度。
步骤S3、请参阅图6,在导电保护膜59上形成位于有源层40上方且间隔的源极61及漏极62,从而由栅极20、有源层40、源极61及漏极62构成TFT器件。
具体地,所述源极61及漏极62的材料为金属。所述步骤S3中,先在导电保护膜59上形成一层金属材料层及光阻层,而后对光阻层进行曝光显影制程,以曝光显影制程后的光阻层为遮挡利用蚀刻液对金属材料层进行图案化而制得源极61及漏极62,由于有源层40上形成有导电保护膜59,利用蚀刻液对金属材料层进行蚀刻制作源极61及漏极62的制程中蚀刻液不会接触有源层40表面,从而蚀刻液不会对采用IGZO材料制作的有源层40进行腐蚀而产生不良影响。
进一步地,所述源极61及漏极62的材料为钼、铝、铜中的至少一种。
步骤S4、请参阅图8,去除导电保护膜59未被源极61及漏极62遮挡的部分,形成间隔设于有源层40上的两个导电图案50,源极61及漏极62分别设于两个导电图案50上。
具体地,请参阅图7,在本发明的优选实施例中,由于导电保护膜59采用碳原子形成,所述步骤S4中以源极61及漏极62为遮挡对导电保护膜59进行紫外(UV)光照射,对导电保护膜59未被源极61及漏极62遮挡的部分进行破坏清除,以去除导电保护膜59未被源极61及漏极62遮挡的部分。
具体地,请参阅图9,本发明的TFT阵列基板的制作方法还包括步骤S5、在栅极绝缘层30、有源层40、源极61及漏极62上形成钝化层70。
需要说明的是,本发明的TFT阵列基板的制作方法采用BCE结构,并在制作源极61及漏极62之前,先在栅极绝缘层30及有源层40上形成材料为碳原子的导电保护膜59,而后在导电保护膜59上形成源极61及漏极62,并在制作钝化层70之前通过紫外光照射的方式去除导电保护膜59未被源极61及漏极62遮挡的部分,能够在节省光罩数量从而节省制作成本的同时,避免采用蚀刻金属层的方式制作源极61及漏极62的过程中蚀刻液对有源层40的性能产生不良影响,从而保证了TFT阵列基板中TFT器件的性能,提升产品的稳定性,同时相比于ESL结构的TFT阵列基板,降低了TFT器件所占空间,增加了开口面积,有利于提升穿透率。
请参阅图9,基于同一发明构思,本发明还提供一种采用上述的TFT阵列基板的制作方法制得的TFT阵列基板,包括衬底10、设于衬底10上的栅极20、设于衬底10及栅极20上的栅极绝缘层30、设于栅极绝缘层30上且位于栅极20上方的有源层40、间隔设于有源层40上的两个导电图案50以及分别设于两个导电图案50上的源极61及漏极62、设于栅极绝缘层30、有源层40及源极61及漏极62上的钝化层70。
具体地,所述衬底10的材料为玻璃。
具体地,所述栅极20的材料为金属,进一步地,所述栅极20的材料为钼、铝、铜中的至少一种。
具体地,所述栅极绝缘层30的材料为氮化硅及氧化硅中的至少一种。
具体地,所述有源层40的材料为IGZO。
具体地,所述导电图案50的材料为碳原子。所述导电保护膜59的厚度可以为数个原子层厚度。
具体地,所述源极61及漏极62的材料为金属。进一步地,所述源极61及漏极62的材料为钼、铝、铜中的至少一种。
需要说明的是,本发明的TFT阵列基板采用上述的TFT阵列基板的制作方法制得,采用BCE结构,相比于ESL结构的TFT阵列基板,降低了TFT器件所占空间,增加了开口面积,有利于提升穿透率,同时,能够避免采用蚀刻金属层的方式制作源极61及漏极62的过程中蚀刻液对有源层40的性能产生不良影响,从而保证了TFT阵列基板中TFT器件的性能,提升产品的稳定性。
综上所述,本发明的TFT阵列基板的制作方法先在栅极绝缘层及有源层上形成导电保护膜,而后在导电保护膜上形成源极及漏极,最后去除导电保护膜未被源极及漏极遮挡的部分,能够避免采用蚀刻金属层的方式制作源极及漏极的过程中蚀刻液对有源层的性能产生不良影响,从而保证了TFT阵列基板中TFT器件的性能,提升产品的稳定性。本发明的TFT阵列基板能够避免源极及漏极在制作时对有源层的性能造成影响,提升产品品质。
