Summary of the invention
In view of this, the manufacture method that the simple thin film transistor base plate of a kind of processing procedure is provided is necessary.
A manufacture method for thin film transistor base plate, it comprises: provide a substrate; Form grid, gate insulator, semiconductor layer, etch stop layer, transparency conducting layer and metal level successively on the substrate; One photoresist layer is provided, this photoresist layer covers on the metal layer, a light shield is utilized to carry out exposure imaging to this photoresist layer, to form patterning photoresist layer, the part of this patterning photoresist layer adjacent semiconductor layers is thicker, part away from semiconductor layer is thinner, then etches metal level, until expose partially-etched barrier layer; Remove the photoresist layer that remaining thinner is divided, to expose partial metal layers; Etch being exposed to outer metal level, to expose this transparency conducting layer of part; And remove this photoresist layer.
In the manufacture method of above-mentioned thin film transistor base plate, the formation of source electrode, drain electrode and the formation of pixel electrode only need a photoresist layer, thus save the use of a photoresist layer, and processing procedure simplifies, and significantly reduces cost.Further, because transparency conducting layer is between metal level and gate insulator, therefore can the metallic element of barrier metal layer be diffused in gate insulator, thus the quality of improving product.
Embodiment
Fig. 1 is to the manufacture method that Figure 6 shows that thin film transistor base plate 100 that the embodiment of the present invention provides.The manufacture method of this thin film transistor base plate 100 comprises the steps:
Step one: refer to Fig. 1, provides a substrate 10.This substrate 10 is insulated substrate, and it can be glass, quartz or the insulating material such as ceramic.In the present embodiment, this substrate 10 is glass substrate.
Step 2: form grid 20, gate insulator 30, semiconductor layer 40, etch stop layer 50, transparency conducting layer 60 and metal level 70 on this substrate 10 successively.Wherein, this gate insulator 30 comprises silicon nitride and/or silica.This transparency conducting layer 60 is indium and tin oxide film (Indium Tin Oxide, ITO).This grid 20 is formed by etching.In the present embodiment, this semiconductor layer 40 is also formed by ablation, and it is island, and is positioned at directly over this grid 20.The material of this semiconductor layer 40 comprises amorphous oxide semi-conducting material (Amorphous Oxide Semiconductor, AOS).
Step 3: refer to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, provides a photoresist layer, and this photoresist layer covers above this metal level 70.Afterwards, a light shield (not shown) is utilized to carry out exposure imaging to photoresist layer 80, to form patterning photoresist layer 80, the part of this patterning photoresist layer 80 adjacent semiconductor layers 40 is thicker, part away from semiconductor layer 40 is thinner, again this metal level 70 is etched, until expose partially-etched barrier layer 50.In the present embodiment, this light shield is halftoning site light shield (Halftone mask).Outside the part be positioned at above this semiconductor layer 40 of this metal level 70 is exposed to, the part be positioned at above this semiconductor layer 40 is etched, thus makes outside partially-etched barrier layer 50 is exposed to.
Step 4: refer to Fig. 4, removes the patterning photoresist layer 80 that remaining thinner is divided, to expose partial metal layers 70.In the present embodiment, part residual graph patterning photoresist layer 80 is removed in the mode of dry ecthing.
Step 5: please also refer to Fig. 5, etches being exposed to outer metal level 70, to expose this transparency conducting layer 60 of part.In the present embodiment, the pixel electrode of this outer transparency conducting layer 60 as this thin film transistor base plate is exposed to.
Step 6: please also refer to Fig. 6, removes this photoresist layer 80.In the present embodiment, be positioned at this metal level 70 of this semiconductor layer 40 side and the part adjacent with this pixel electrode as the drain electrode of this thin film transistor base plate, be positioned at the source electrode of this metal level 70 as this film crystal substrate of the opposite side of this semiconductor layer 40.
Step 7: refer to Fig. 7, forms a protective layer 90, covers this metal level 70, transparency conducting layer 60 and is exposed to outer etch stop layer 50, thus form thin film transistor base plate 100.
In the manufacture method of above-mentioned thin film transistor base plate 100, the formation of source electrode, drain electrode and the formation of pixel electrode only need a photoresist layer, thus save the use of a photoresist layer, and processing procedure simplifies, and significantly reduces cost.
In addition, because transparency conducting layer 60 is between metal level 70 and gate insulator 30, therefore can the metallic element of barrier metal layer 70 be diffused in gate insulator 30, thus the quality of improving product.
Be understandable that, those skilled in the art also can do other change in spirit of the present invention, as long as it does not depart from technique effect of the present invention.These changes done according to the present invention's spirit, all should be included within the present invention's scope required for protection.
