The method of the making dot structure of the present invention has following advantages:
1. source S and drain D are respectively via the first connection electrode 281 and the second connection electrode 282 and patterned oxide First contact zone 141 of semiconductor layer 14 is contacted with the second contact zone 142, therefore be can select and patterned oxide semiconductor layer 14 materials with preferably contact, to reduce resistance, and then increase the electron mobility of thin-film transistor element TFT.
2. because the first connection electrode 281 and the second connection electrode 282 are formed using lifting act technique, therefore with voluntarily right Quasi- effect is without producing bit errors, and source S and drain D respectively via the first connection electrode 281 and the second connection electrode 282 contact with the first contact zone 141 of patterned oxide semiconductor layer 14 with the second contact zone 142, even if therefore first connecing Tactile hole TH1 contacts hole TH2 with second and produces process shifts, also will not be because of source S/drain D and patterned oxide semiconductor The contact position of the first contact zone 141 and second contact zone 142 of layer 14 asymmetric and impact element characteristic.
3. it is the first connection electrode 281 of exposure and the second connection electrode because the first contact hole TH1 contacts hole TH2 with second 282, rather than exposure pattern oxide semiconductor layer 14, therefore patterned oxide semiconductor layer 14 will not be in etching dielectric Sustain damage during layer 30, and the material of dielectric layer 30 selects to be not limited by it with patterned oxide semiconductor layer 14 etching selectivity and there is larger elasticity.
4. the preparation method of the present invention uses three pattern layers conductive layers (including the first patterned conductive layer 22, the second figure The patterned conductive layer 32 of case conductive layer 28 and the 3rd) the practice compared to known preparation method use two-layer patterned conductive layer The practice there is larger design flexibility.
Refer to Figure 11.Figure 11 depicts the schematic diagram of the dot structure of a comparative examples of the present invention.Such as Figure 11 institutes Show, in the dot structure 70 of this comparative examples, the first contact hole TH1 contacts hole TH2 and directly exposes patterning with second Oxide semiconductor layer 14, and source S contacts hole TH1 and the contacts of hole TH2 and first is contacted with second via first respectively with drain D The directly contact of 141 and second contact zone of area 142.The dot structure 70 of this comparative examples has the disadvantage that:
1. source S/drain D is directly to contact with patterned oxide semiconductor layer 14, therefore source S/drain D and pattern The contact for changing oxide semiconductor layer 14 is poor.
2. when dielectric layer 30 is etched to form the first contact hole TH1 and contact hole TH2 with second, it is impossible to use dry ecthing, The damage of patterned oxide semiconductor layer 14 can be otherwise caused, and also to dielectric layer 30 in material in the case of using wet etching Selection on material causes to limit, for example, cannot use using the material of hydrofluoric acid etch.
3. when the position that the first contact hole TH1 contacts hole TH2 with second has offset because of process deviation, source S/ The corresponding grid G of drain D can form dissymmetrical structure, for the element characteristic of thin-film transistor element affects very.
Refer again to Figure 12 and Figure 13.Figure 12 depicts the thin film transistor (TFT) of the dot structure of the comparative examples of the present invention The graph of a relation of the grid voltage VG and drain current ID of element, Figure 13 depicts the thin film transistor (TFT) unit of the dot structure of the present invention The graph of a relation of the grid voltage VG and drain current ID of part.Figure 12 shows that the film of three same sizes of comparative examples is brilliant The relation of the grid voltage VG and drain current ID of the sample of body tube elements, wherein curve A is sample 1 in drain voltage VD= The result that 0.1V is measured, the result that curve A ' is measured by sample 1 in drain voltage VD=10V, curve B is sample 2 in leakage The result that pole tension VD=0.1V is measured, the result that curve B ' is measured by sample 2 in drain voltage VD=10V, curve C is The result that sample 3 is measured in drain voltage VD=0.1V, the knot that curve C ' is measured by sample 3 in drain voltage VD=10V Really.As shown in figure 12, can significantly be found out by curve A-C, even if under identical drain voltage VD=0.1V, sample 1-3 The relation of grid voltage VG and drain current ID of thin-film transistor element there is obvious difference.Similarly, by curve A '- C ' can significantly find out, even if under identical drain voltage VD=10V, the grid of the thin-film transistor element of sample 1-3 The relation of voltage VG and drain current ID also has obvious difference.In addition, the critical electricity of the thin-film transistor element of sample 1-3 Pressure (threshold voltage) also has obvious difference.Therefore, comparative examples can be confirmed by the measurement of Figure 12 Thin-film transistor element under the situation for being not provided with connection electrode, its element uniformity is not good with element characteristic.Figure The relation of the grid voltage VG and drain current ID of the sample of 13 two thin-film transistor elements for showing the present embodiment, wherein Sample 4 uses the molybdenum of thickness=50 angstrom (angstrom) as connection electrode, and sample 5 uses the molybdenum conduct of thickness=100 angstrom Connection electrode, the result that curve D is measured by sample 4 in drain voltage VD=0.1V, curve D ' is sample 4 in drain voltage VD The result that=5V is measured, the result that curve E is measured by sample 5 in drain voltage VD=0.1V, curve E ' is sample 5 in leakage The result that pole tension VD=5V is measured.As shown in figure 13, (such as VD=5V or VD=under different drain voltages (VD) 0.1V), the critical voltage (threshold voltage) of the thin-film transistor element of sample 4-5 is almost consistent, it was confirmed that this reality The thin-film transistor element for applying example has good element uniformity and element characteristic.Further, since the connection electrode of sample 5 Thickness is more than the thickness of the connection electrode of sample 4, therefore the resistance of the connection electrode of sample 5 less than the connection electrode of sample 4 Resistance, and by Figure 13 it is also seen that under identical grid voltage VG and drain voltage VD, sample 5 (curve E or curve E ') Drain current ID be considerably higher than sample 4 (curve E or curve E ') drain current ID.Confirm the setting of connection electrode The element characteristic of thin-film transistor element can be changed, and the resistance of connection electrode is less, drain current ID is bigger.It is worth explanation , when the thickness of connection electrode is selected, in addition to the impact of its drain current ID to thin-film transistor element, Ying Yi And consider whether the second conductive layer is easily removed in technique is lifted off.
In sum, dot structure of the invention connects source/drain and oxide semiconductor layer using connection electrode, can To be prevented effectively from the shortcoming that source/drain is directly contacted with oxide semiconductor layer, the unit of thin-film transistor element is effectively lifted Part characteristic.
The foregoing is only presently preferred embodiments of the present invention, all impartial changes done according to scope of the present invention patent with Modification, should all belong to the covering scope of the present invention.
