Technical field
The present invention relates to the method for homojunction combined thin-film transistor of a kind of amorphous indium zinc oxide/indium oxide nanocrystalline and preparation thereof, belong to nano material and field of nanometer devices.
Background technology
Arrival along with the information age; Display device (LCD), Electronic Paper are just being quickened to develop to the direction of panelized, energy-conservationization, are that the active array driving display spare of switch element becomes the outstanding person in numerous flat panel displays with thin-film transistor (TFT) wherein.TFT is a kind of field-effect semiconductor device, comprises several important such as substrate, semiconductor channel layer, insulating barrier, grid and source-drain electrode, and wherein semiconductor channel layer is most important to device performance.
At present, for TFT-LCD, semiconductor channel layer wherein mainly adopt amorphous silicon (
a-Si) and polycrystalline SiTFT (
p-Si).
aThe TFT-LCD of-Si system has characteristics such as preparation technology is simple, leakage current is little, becomes a kind of display device that present application is the widest, with fastest developing speed, technology is the most ripe.But along with LCD develops towards high definition and big capacity of display direction, and pixel element size is more and more littler, in order to guarantee sufficiently high aperture opening ratio, requires the size of TFT littler.Simultaneously, because the increase of picture element density, the charging interval of unit pixel is shorter, and the mobility that improves TFT just seems rather important.Yet,
aThe mobility of-Si material~1 cm
2/ Vs and doping efficiency are lower, can not satisfy the requirement of small size, high charge ability TFT.In addition
a-Si material has very strong photoelectric effect, can reduce the OFF resistance of TFT, influences the charge storage characteristic of liquid crystal pixel.Exactly because
aThere are the problems referred to above in-Si thin-film transistor, and the nineties later stage, people arrived diversion
p-Si material, this be because
pThe carrier mobility ratio of-Si
aHigh 1~2 order of magnitude of-Si.This just makes
p-Si is that the response speed of TFT is fast, and the view data writing speed is fast.But, at present
pThere are two problems in the TFT of-Si system: the one, and the off-state current of TFT is bigger; The 2nd, the low temperature large-area preparation of high mobility polycrystalline silicon material is difficulty.Therefore people seek performance excellent material system more constantly.
Simultaneously, organic EL Display Technique also is current scientific and technological circle and the generally good a kind of up-and-coming Display Technique of industrial circle.But also there is the phenomenon of being blocked by Si-TFT of major part (70%-90%) light that sends in Si-TFT-OLED.And the brightness of OLED is directly proportional with its injection current, thus in order to improve its display brightness, need to increase injection current, however the electric current increase can cause heating to increase, and causes component failure to quicken.
So researcher has been transferred to SWCN and Graphene with sight; They have very outstanding characteristic of semiconductor; Such as high carrier mobility, but the arrangement of CNT and problems such as metal semiconductor separation itself that possess are difficult to overcome.And for Graphene, though mobility is higher, because grapheme material itself do not have band gap, the corresponding devices switch of developing lower than all (< 10).Simultaneously, the doping techniques of Graphene does not solve fully yet, is not suitable for doing the logic switch device.
Therefore in order to solve above problem, on the compatible with it flexible substrates of exploitation at a high speed, stabilization of semiconductor TFT switch arrays become one of current active demand.As the TFT material, transparent oxide semiconductor (TCO) receives attracting attention of researcher and display screen production firm.In the amorphous oxide semiconductor of current research; Conduction band mainly is made up of the metal cation long radius s track of spherical symmetric; Adjacent orbit produces bigger overlapping; For the transmission of electronics has formed passage, so just do not receive the influence of non crystalline structure, make the amorphous oxide semiconductor material have bigger carrier mobility.Therefore TCO-TFT compares non-crystalline silicon tft owing to have that high electron mobility, high electricity are led, growth temperature is low and high light transmittance has become one of current research focus.For flexible display device, but amorphous state transparent oxide TFT because have normal temperature growth, film is highly polished, stress is low, compatibility is good and the advantage of large area deposition possibly become the preferred material of the demonstration of flexible flat from now on TFT driving switch array.
As everyone knows, indium oxide (In
2O
3) be a kind of N type semiconductor material of broad stopband; Direct band gap is 3.55-3.75eV; Indirect band gap is 2.6 eV, has higher mobility, surpasses 90% in the transmitance of visible-range; These character have a good application prospect indium oxide, like solar cell, photoelectric device, thin-film transistor and transducer etc.Zinc oxide (ZnO) has the characteristic of N type semiconductor, and band gap is about 3.3 eV, uses aluminium, gallium, indium grade in an imperial examination III major element or halogens such as chlorine, iodine can regulate its N type semiconductor performance.High band gap be zinc oxide bring puncture voltage high, keep that the electric field ability is strong, electronic noise is little, can bear the power advantages of higher.
And single sull can not provide high mobility and light transmittance, can not controlledly modulate, so In has just been arranged
2O
3The nano thin-film structure of the two dimension of-ZnO (IZO), but this coenosarc can realize charge carrier high mobility and modularity.IZO also has high light transmittance and high conductivity simultaneously; Also can be used as flat-panel monitor and solar cell; Become one of selection of awfully hot at present thin-film transistor technologies (TFT); But the mobility of current this thin-film transistor is very low, so we have adopted compound Homogenotic nanometer indium oxide particle, to reach the purpose that its mobility improves.
