A kind of TFT substrate and preparation method thereof with Micro Channel Architecture
Technical field
The present invention relates to be used to prepare a kind of TFT substrate of thin-film transistor (TFT) with Micro Channel Architecture, and the method for preparing this TFT substrate, adopt the non-crystalline silicon tft of this TFT substrate preparation, be specially adapted to drive organic electroluminescence device (OLED).
Background technology
Usually, the TFT substrate that is used for preparing driving OLED has three kinds, comprises non-crystalline silicon tft substrate, low temperature polycrystalline silicon TFT substrate and monocrystalline silicon TFT substrate.Preceding two kinds of substrates all are that TFT directly is produced on the glass substrate, and monocrystalline silicon TFT substrate is the TFT that makes on monocrystalline silicon wafer crystal.Wherein, the non-crystalline silicon tft substrate has advantages such as preparation technology is simple relatively, the equipment input is less relatively, preparation cost is relatively low.
The OLED device is to belong to the display device that current mode drives, and the key of its operate as normal is to be that drive circuit should be able to provide enough big operating current to it.Because low two orders of magnitude of non-crystalline silicon tft carrier mobility speed lower temperature multi-crystal TFT carrier mobility speed, traditional non-crystalline silicon tft can't provide enough big operating current in OLED small size display screen, cause the brightness of small size OLED display screen lower like this, can't carry out operate as normal.Therefore, for the small size OLED display screen that is used for such as mobile phone display screen, all be to adopt low temperature polycrystalline silicon TFT to drive.Yet the layer polysilicon film of preparation low temperature polycrystalline silicon TFT has two kinds of methods, and a kind of is the horizontal revulsion of metal (MILC), and another kind is quasi-molecule laser annealing (ELA).The low-temperature polysilicon film of MILC preparation is because metallic can't be removed fully, and the photoelectric properties of the TFT of its making can not reach the requirement of OLED device operate as normal.
At present, the employed low temperature polycrystalline silicon TFT of the active OLED product substrate of selling on the market all is that the quasi-molecule laser annealing method that adopts realizes, this method prepares low-temperature polysilicon film following weak point: one, the price of ELA equipment is very expensive, the chances are for the price of an ELA production equipment more than ten million dollar, causes the increase of the preparation cost of low-temperature polysilicon film substrate.Its two, need the long time with the ELA method at crystallizing amorphous silicon thin film, increase the manufacturing cycle of low-temperature polysilicon film substrate, the production capacity of corresponding production line will be affected.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to reduce the preparation cost of low-temperature polysilicon film substrate, propose a kind of TFT substrate and preparation method thereof with Micro Channel Architecture in order to improve the production efficiency of low-temperature polysilicon film substrate.
The TFT substrate of this Micro Channel Architecture comprises glass substrate, it is characterized in that: also comprise amorphous silicon membrane and be positioned at amorphous silicon membrane two-layer MgO film up and down, wherein one deck MgO film (3) is attached on the glass substrate.
The thickness of described amorphous silicon membrane is 0.1-0.2 μ m, and the thickness of described MgO film is 0.1-0.2 μ m.
The preparation method of the TFT substrate of this Micro Channel Architecture comprises the steps: A, the MgO of lower floor depositing of thin film: glass substrate is put on the substrate holder of Sputter equipment, system is vacuumized, glass substrate is heated, open radio-frequency power supply then, carry out the even growth of MgO film, till reaching required thickness; The deposition of B, intermediate layer amorphous silicon membrane: the substrate that steps A obtains is put on the substrate holder of PECVD, system is vacuumized, glass substrate is heated, reacting gas material silane is sent in the PECVD reaction cavity by the gas access device, requirement according to amorphous silicon membrane thickness, the flow of adjustments of gas is opened the reative cell power supply then and is made gas produce glow discharge in reaction cavity to required value, makes amorphous silicon membrane just grow into required thickness uniformly on glass substrate; C, upper strata MgO thin film deposition: the substrate that step B obtains is put on the substrate holder of Sputter equipment, system is vacuumized, glass substrate is heated, open radio-frequency power supply then, regulate technological parameter, carry out the even growth of MgO film, till reaching required thickness.
In steps A and C, the temperature of glass substrate is about 270-330 ℃, and the temperature of glass substrate is 180-220 ℃ in step B.
The present invention has the following advantages:
One, used the TFT substrate of Micro Channel Architecture, compare with low-temperature polysilicon film, because the amorphous silicon membrane layer is clipped between the two-layer MgO thin layer, the amorphous silicon membrane of this structure has such characteristic: because the secondary electron yield of MgO film is big, arrive the MgO film when electron bombard, can obtain the more freedom electronics with certain energy.Promptly under not alive situation, its resistivity is very big; If but add that greater than certain threshold voltage produce free charge carrier (electronics) seldom in the amorphous silicon membrane, directional migration under electric field action when electronics and MgO film bump, can be taken more charge carrier out of from the MgO film.Change an angle, after the TFT of this Micro Channel Architecture substrate is adding certain voltage, have higher carrier mobility.In this case, with the TFT of Micro Channel Architecture amorphous silicon membrane preparation, its performance should approach the TFT performance of low-temperature polysilicon film preparation.
Two, the TFT substrate with this Micro Channel Architecture prepares the TFT that OLED uses, and when not reducing its driveability, has reduced the cost of manufacture of TFT substrate significantly, effective simplification the preparation technology of TFT substrate.
Three, the TFT substrate with this Micro Channel Architecture prepares the TFT that OLED uses, and can also greatly improve the production production capacity of TFT substrate simultaneously, has reduced the preparation time cycle of TFT substrate.
