具体实施方式
下面将结合附图对本发明的实施例进行详细描述。
图1示出了根据本发明实施例的阵列基板制造方法的流程图。如图1所示,根据本发明实施例的阵列基板制造方法共采用了四道掩膜工序,比现有制造超高级超维场转换型阵列基板所需的八道掩膜工序减少了四道,大大减小了阵列基板的制造工艺步骤,降低了阵列基板的制造成本。下面将结合图2至17对根据本发明实施例的阵列基板制造方法进行详细说明。
首先,介绍第一道掩膜工序。
步骤S1:在基板1上沉积金属层,如图2所示。
步骤S2:涂覆第一光刻胶层,并采用单色调掩膜对该第一光刻胶层进行曝光显影,图3示出了曝光显影后的第一光刻胶层。
步骤S3:对金属层进行蚀刻,并剥离剩余的第一光刻胶层,从而在待形成薄膜晶体管的区域内形成遮光层,并在像素区域内形成公共电极的引线2,如图4所示。
接下来,介绍第二道掩膜工序。
步骤S4:在基板1上依次沉积形成金属氧化层物3和源漏金属层4,如图5所示。其中,金属氧化物层3可以由IGZO、ITZO或其它具有半导体性质的金属氧化物构成,源漏金属层4可以由铜、铝、钼等金属构成。
步骤S5:首先在源漏金属层4上涂覆第二光刻胶层,然后采用掩膜板来对该第二光刻胶层进行曝光,待形成的公共电极对应于该掩膜板的第一半透光区域,待形成的薄膜晶体管的沟道对应于该掩膜板的第二半透光区域,待形成的薄膜晶体管的源极和漏极对应于该掩膜板的不透光区域,该掩膜板的第一半透光区域的透光率大于第二半透光区域的透光率。掩膜板可以是半色调掩膜板或灰度掩膜板。图6示出了经该掩膜板曝光显影后的第二光刻胶层,该第二光刻胶层在待形成公共电极的区域具有第一厚度,在待形成薄膜晶体管沟道的区域具有第二厚度,在待形成源极和漏极的区域具有第三厚度,其中第一厚度小于第二厚度,第二厚度小于第三厚度。优选地,涂覆的第三光刻胶层的厚度为即第三厚度为经曝光显影后,第一厚度为第二厚度为
步骤S6:对未覆盖有第二光刻胶层的区域进行蚀刻,以去除暴露出的源漏金属层4和金属氧化物层3。优选地,可以采用湿法蚀刻。图7示出了此次蚀刻结束后的示意图。
步骤S7:通过灰化等工艺,使第二光刻胶层在整体上去除第一厚度的厚度,以暴露出待形成公共电极的区域,如图8所示。
步骤S8:采用蚀刻的方式,去除掉暴露出的源漏金属层4,以暴露出其下方的金属氧化物层3,如图9所示。
步骤S9:对暴露出的金属氧化物层3进行等离子处理,使该部分的金属氧化物层具有导电性,从而使该部分金属氧化物层用作为公共电极6,未经等离子处理的金属氧化物层仍然保持半导体性质,用作为有源层5,如图10所示。
步骤S10:再次通过灰化等工艺,使第二光刻胶层在整体上去除第二厚度减去第一厚度的厚度,即经过此次灰化工艺后,原来具有第二厚度的第二光刻胶层被完全去除,暴露出待形成薄膜晶体管沟道的区域。图11示出了此次灰化工艺后的示意图。
步骤S11:对暴露出的源漏金属层4进行蚀刻,直到到达其下方的有源层5,以形成薄膜晶体管的源极7和漏极8,如图12所示。
步骤S12:在此次蚀刻结束后去除剩余的第二光刻胶层,如图13所示。
接下来介绍第三道掩膜工序。
步骤S13:在基板1上沉积绝缘层9以覆盖整个基板1,如图14所示。
步骤S14:在绝缘层9上涂覆第三光刻胶层,并采用单色调掩膜板对该第三光刻胶层进行曝光显影,以暴露出漏极8靠近公共电极6侧的一部分区域上方的绝缘层9,如图15所示。
步骤S15:对暴露出的绝缘层9进行蚀刻,在绝缘层9中形成开口,以暴露出其下方的漏极8靠近公共电极6侧的一部分区域,如图16所示。优选地,暴露出的漏极8的上表面与像素区域内的绝缘层9的上表面齐平。
步骤S16:去除剩余的第三光刻胶层,如图17所示。
接下来介绍第四道掩膜工序。
步骤S17:在基板1上依次沉积第二像素电极层10和栅极金属层11,如图18所示。
步骤S18:在栅极金属层11上涂覆第四光刻胶层,并采用另一灰度或半色调掩膜板来对该第四光刻胶层进行曝光。图19示出了经曝光显影后的第四光刻胶层,其中该第四光刻胶层在待形成像素电极的区域的厚度小于待形成薄膜晶体管栅极的区域的厚度。
步骤S19:对未覆盖有第四光刻胶层的区域进行蚀刻,以去除暴露出的像素电极层10和栅极金属层11,从而完成了对狭缝状像素电极和栅极的构图,如图20所示。
步骤S20:通过灰化等工艺,暴露出像素电极区域的栅极金属层,如图21所示。
步骤S21:去除暴露出的栅极金属层,从而得到像素电极12的图形以及薄膜晶体管的栅极13,如图22所示。
步骤S22:去除剩余的第四光刻胶层,从而完成了整个阵列基板的制造工艺。图23示出了最终形成的阵列基板。
如图23所示,根据本发明的阵列基板包括:基板1;形成在基板1上方的遮光层和公共电极引线2;覆盖遮光层的有源层5和与公共电极引线2电连接的公共电极6,有源层5和公共电极6由同一金属氧化物层形成,有源层5中的金属氧化物层具有半导体性质,公共电极6中的金属氧化物层经受等离子处理而具有导体性质,该金属氧化物层可以是IGZO或ITZO。在有源层5上方形成源极7和漏极8,源极7、漏极8和有源层5通过其上的绝缘层9与栅极13电绝缘,从而构成薄膜晶体管。栅极13与其下方的绝缘层9之间还具有像素电极12。绝缘层9覆盖基板1、源极7、漏极8、有源层5和公共电极6,并且暴露出漏极8的一部分。漏极8暴露出的部分位于靠近公共电极6的一侧,并且暴露出的漏极8的上表面与像素区域内的绝缘层9的上表面齐平。像素电极12形成在绝缘层9上,并且与漏极8电连接。
以上介绍了根据本发明实施例的阵列基板制造方法,该制造方法采用顶栅工艺,极大减少了阵列基板的制造工艺步骤,降低了阵列基板的制造成本。在此基础上,本发明的另一实施例提出了一种采用底栅工艺的阵列基板制造方法,同样也可以减少现有阵列基板的制造工艺步骤。图24示出了根据本发明另一实施例的阵列基板制造方法的流程图,下面将结合图25至34对根据本发明实施例的阵列基板制造方法进行详细说明。
步骤S1:采用第一道掩膜工序,在基板21上形成栅极22,如图25所示。
步骤S2:在基板21上依次形成绝缘层23、金属氧化物层24和源漏金属层25,如图26所示。
步骤S3:首先在源漏金属层25上涂覆光刻胶层,然后采用掩膜板来对该光刻胶层进行曝光,待形成的像素电极对应于该掩膜板的第一半透光区域,待形成的薄膜晶体管的沟道对应于该掩膜板的第二半透光区域,待形成的薄膜晶体管的源极和漏极对应于该掩膜板的不透光区域,该掩膜板的第一半透光区域的透光率大于第二半透光区域的透光率。掩膜板可以是半色调掩膜板或灰度掩膜板。图27示出了经该掩膜板曝光显影后的光刻胶层,该光刻胶层在待形成像素电极的区域具有第一厚度,在待形成薄膜晶体管沟道的区域具有第二厚度,在待形成源极和漏极的区域具有第三厚度,其中第一厚度小于第二厚度,第二厚度小于第三厚度。优选地,第一厚度为第二厚度为第三厚度为
步骤S4:对未覆盖有光刻胶层的区域进行蚀刻,以去除暴露出的源漏金属层25和金属氧化物层24,而不蚀刻绝缘层23。图28示出了此次蚀刻结束后的示意图。
步骤S5:通过灰化等工艺,使该光刻胶层在整体上去除第一厚度的厚度,以暴露出待形成像素电极的区域,如图29所示。
步骤S6:采用蚀刻的方式,去除掉暴露出的源漏金属层25,以暴露出其下方的金属氧化物层24,并对暴露出的金属氧化物层24进行等离子处理,使该部分的金属氧化物层具有导电性,从而使该部分金属氧化物层用作为像素电极26,未经等离子处理的金属氧化物层仍然保持半导体性质,用作为有源层27,如图30所示。
步骤S7:再次通过灰化等工艺,使第二光刻胶层在整体上去除第二厚度减去第一厚度的厚度,即经过此次灰化工艺后,原来具有第二厚度的第二光刻胶层被完全去除,暴露出待形成薄膜晶体管沟道的区域,并对暴露出的源漏金属层25进行蚀刻,直到到达其下方的有源层27,以形成薄膜晶体管的源极28和漏极29。在此次蚀刻结束后去除剩余的该光刻胶层,由此完成第二道掩膜工序,如图31所示。
步骤S8:采用第三道掩膜工序,形成漏极29与像素电极26之间的导电接触30,如图32所示。
步骤S9:在基板21上沉积钝化层31以覆盖整个基板21,如图33所示。
步骤S10:采用第四道掩膜工序,在钝化层31上形成狭缝状公共电极32,如图34所示。
由此,通过采用四道掩膜工序,完成了底栅结构阵列基板的制造。如图34所示,根据本发明实施例的底栅结构的阵列基板包括:基板21;形成在基板21上方的栅极22;覆盖栅极22的绝缘层23;形成在绝缘层23上方且同层设置的有源层27和像素电极26,像素电极26与有源层27由同一金属氧化物层形成且相互邻接,有源层27中的金属氧化物层具有半导体性质,像素电极26中的金属氧化物层经受等离子处理而具有导体性质,该金属氧化物层可以是IGZO或ITZO。在有源层27上方形成源极28和漏极29,从而构成薄膜晶体管。漏极29通过导电接触30与像素电极26电接触。钝化层31覆盖绝缘层23、源极28、漏极29、有源层27和像素电极26。公共电极32形成在钝化层31上。
通过采用本发明所公开的顶栅结构或底栅结构的阵列基板制造方法,极大减少了阵列基板的制造工艺步骤,降低了阵列基板的制造成本。
虽然结合附图描述了本发明的实施方式,但是本领域技术人员可以在不脱离本发明的精神和范围的情况下作出各种修改和变型,这样的修改和变型均落入由所附权利要求所限定的范围之内。
