1. source S contacts with the second contact zone 142 with the first contact zone 141 of patterning oxide semiconductor layer 14 with the second connecting electrode 282 via the first connecting electrode 281 respectively with drain D, therefore can select with patterning oxide semiconductor layer 14 and there is the better material contacting, to reduce resistance, and then increase the electron mobility of thin-film transistor element TFT.
2. because the first connecting electrode 281 and the second connecting electrode 282 are to utilize to lift to lift technique and form, therefore there is voluntarily alignment result and can not produce bit errors, and source S contacts with the second contact zone 142 with the first contact zone 141 of patterning oxide semiconductor layer 14 with the second connecting electrode 282 via the first connecting electrode 281 respectively with drain D, even if therefore the first contact hole TH1 contacts hole TH2 and produces process shifts with second, also can not affect because of the asymmetric of the contact position of the first contact zone 141 of source S/drain D and patterning oxide semiconductor layer 14 and the second contact zone 142 element characteristic.
3. because contacting hole TH2 with second, the first contact hole TH1 exposes the first connecting electrode 281 and the second connecting electrode 282, instead of exposure pattern oxide semiconductor layer 14, therefore patterning oxide semiconductor layer 14 can not sustain damage in the process of etching dielectric layer 30, and the material of dielectric layer 30 is selected not to be limited to the etching selectivity of itself and patterning oxide semiconductor layer 14 and has larger elasticity.
4. manufacture method of the present invention is used the practice of three layer pattern conductive layers (comprising the first patterned conductive layer 22, the second patterned conductive layer 28 and the 3rd patterned conductive layer 32) to use the practice of two-layer patterned conductive layer to have larger design flexibility compared to known manufacture method.
Please refer to Figure 11.Figure 11 has illustrated the schematic diagram of the dot structure of a control Example of the present invention.As shown in figure 11, in the dot structure 70 of this control Example, the first contact hole TH1 contacts hole TH2 with second and directly exposes patterning oxide semiconductor layer 14, and source S and drain D contact hole TH1 via first respectively and contact hole TH2 with second and directly contact with the second contact zone 142 with the first contact zone 141.The dot structure 70 of this control Example has following shortcoming:
1. source S/drain D is directly to contact with patterning oxide semiconductor layer 14, and therefore source S/drain D is poor with contacting of patterning oxide semiconductor layer 14.
At etching dielectric layer 30 when forming the first contact hole TH1 and second contact hole TH2, cannot use dry ecthing, otherwise can cause the damage of patterning oxide semiconductor layer 14, and in the situation that using wet etching, also to dielectric layer 30, the selection on material causes restriction, for example, cannot use the material that utilizes hydrofluoric acid etch.
3. in the time that the first contact hole TH1 contacts hole TH2 position with second is offset to some extent because of process deviation, the corresponding grid G of source S/drain D can form dissymmetrical structure, affects very for the element characteristic of thin-film transistor element.
Refer again to Figure 12 and Figure 13.Figure 12 has illustrated the grid voltage VG of thin-film transistor element and the graph of a relation of drain current ID of the dot structure of control Example of the present invention, and Figure 13 has illustrated the grid voltage VG of thin-film transistor element and the graph of a relation of drain current ID of dot structure of the present invention.Figure 12 has shown the grid voltage VG of sample and the relation of drain current ID of the thin-film transistor element of three same sizes of control Example, the result that wherein curve A measures at drain voltage VD=0.1V for sample 1, curve A ' result that measures at drain voltage VD=10V for sample 1, the result that curve B measures at drain voltage VD=0.1V for sample 2, curve B ' result that measures at drain voltage VD=10V for sample 2, the result that curve C measures at drain voltage VD=0.1V for sample 3, curve C ' result that measures at drain voltage VD=10V for sample 3.As shown in figure 12, can significantly be found out by curve A-C, even under identical drain voltage VD=0.1V, the grid voltage VG of the thin-film transistor element of sample 1-3 and the relation of drain current ID have obvious difference.Similarly, by curve A '-C ' can significantly find out, even under identical drain voltage VD=10V, the grid voltage VG of the thin-film transistor element of sample 1-3 and the relation of drain current ID also have obvious difference.In addition, the critical voltage of the thin-film transistor element of sample 1-3 (threshold voltage) also has obvious difference.Therefore, by the measurement of Figure 12 can confirm control Example thin-film transistor element do not arranging under the situation of connecting electrode, its element uniformity and element characteristic are all not good.Figure 13 has shown the grid voltage VG of sample and the relation of drain current ID of two thin-film transistor elements of the present embodiment, wherein sample 4 uses the molybdenum of thickness=50 dust (angstrom) as connecting electrode, and sample 5 uses the molybdenum of thickness=100 dust as connecting electrode, the result that curve D measures at drain voltage VD=0.1V for sample 4, curve D ' result that measures at drain voltage VD=5V for sample 4, the result that curve E measures at drain voltage VD=0.1V for sample 5, the result that curve E ' measures at drain voltage VD=5V for sample 5.As shown in figure 13, for example, under different drain voltage (VD) (VD=5V or VD=0.1V), the critical voltage (threshold voltage) of the thin-film transistor element of sample 4-5 is almost consistent, has confirmed that the thin-film transistor element of the present embodiment has good element uniformity and element characteristic.In addition, because the thickness of the connecting electrode of sample 5 is greater than the thickness of the connecting electrode of sample 4, therefore the resistance of the connecting electrode of sample 5 is lower than the resistance of the connecting electrode of sample 4, and also can be found out under identical grid voltage VG and drain voltage VD by Figure 13, the drain current ID of sample 5 (curve E or curve E ') significantly higher than the drain current ID of sample 4 (curve E or curve E ').Confirmed the element characteristic that can change thin-film transistor element that arranges of connecting electrode, and the resistance of connecting electrode is less, drain current ID is larger.What deserves to be explained is, in the time selecting the thickness of connecting electrode, except the impact of its drain current ID on thin-film transistor element, should consider in the lump whether the second conductive layer is easily removed lifting off in technique.
In sum, dot structure of the present invention utilizes connecting electrode to connect source/drain and oxide semiconductor layer, can effectively avoid the direct shortcoming contacting with oxide semiconductor layer of source/drain, effectively promotes the element characteristic of thin-film transistor element.
The foregoing is only preferred embodiment of the present invention, all equalizations of doing according to the present patent application the scope of the claims change and modify, and all should belong to covering scope of the present invention.
