Embodiment
For enabling above-mentioned purpose of the present invention, feature and advantage become apparent more, are described in detail the specific embodiment of the present invention below in conjunction with accompanying drawing.Set forth a lot of detail in the following description so that fully understand the present invention.But the present invention can be much different from alternate manner described here to implement, those skilled in the art can when without prejudice to doing similar improvement when intension of the present invention, therefore the present invention is by the restriction of following public specific embodiment.
Refer to Fig. 1, it is the flow chart of low-temperature polysilicon film preparation method in one embodiment of the invention.
S110, on substrate, form amorphous silicon layer.
Such as, using plasma strengthens chemical vapour deposition (CVD) (PECVD) technique deposition of amorphous silicon layers on clean substrate.Such as, substrate is glass substrate or flexible base, board.And for example, depositing temperature general control is below 500 DEG C.
In the present embodiment, the thickness of amorphous silicon layer is 40nm ~ 60nm.Certainly, also can need according to concrete technique to select suitable thickness.Such as, the thickness of amorphous silicon layer is 42nm ~ 55nm, and and for example, the thickness of amorphous silicon layer is 45nm, 48nm, 52nm or 54nm.
In order to improve the adhesive force between amorphous silicon layer and substrate, preferably, also resilient coating is deposited between described amorphous silicon layer and described substrate.That is, substrate forms resilient coating, at the side formation amorphous silicon layer of resilient coating away from described substrate.By arranging resilient coating, the degree of adhesion between amorphous silicon and substrate can be improved, being conducive to reducing heat-conduction effect, slowing down by the cooldown rate of the silicon of LASER HEATING, be conducive to the crystallization of polysilicon.Meanwhile, can also prevent the metal ion in substrate from diffusing to active layer, reduce impurity defect, and the generation of leakage current can be reduced.Such as, the deposition materials of resilient coating can be the silica (SiO of individual layer x) layer or silicon nitride (SiN x) layer, or be silica (SiO x) and silicon nitride (SiN x) lamination.In the present embodiment, resilient coating is the silicon nitride layer and silicon oxide layer that stack gradually.The thickness of silicon nitride layer is 40 ~ 180nm, and the thickness of silicon oxide layer is 100 ~ 200nm.
S120, on described amorphous silicon layer depositing antireflection film, the refractive index of described antireflective coating reduces gradually along with the increase of deposit thickness, and the largest refractive index of described antireflective coating is less than the refractive index of described amorphous silicon layer.
Because the optical index of antireflective coating is between air and amorphous silicon, and the refractive index of antireflective coating reduces gradually along with the increase of deposit thickness, the refractive index difference of interface media of both sides can be reduced by antireflective coating, according to fresnel formula, and then can boundary reflection be reduced, improve the utilance of light energy.
Particularly, described antireflective coating is by regulating the flow-rate ratio preparation of silane, ammonia, nitrogen, nitrous oxide and perfluoroethane.Further, substrate temperature be 340 ~ 450 DEG C, under radio-frequency power is 20 ~ 200W, plate clearance be 500 ~ 1200 mils (mil) and reative cell pressure is the condition of 1200 millitorrs (mtorr) ~ 1800mtorr, by the mixed proportion regulating the flow of silane, ammonia, nitrous oxide and perfluoroethane to control reacting gas, generate different component film at the rete of different-thickness.
Such as, the deposition process of described antireflective coating is specially:
Regulate the flow-rate ratio of silane, ammonia and nitrogen, to form silicon nitride film layer on described amorphous silicon layer;
Increase the flow of nitrous oxide gradually, and reduce the flow of ammonia gradually, to form silicon nitride and silica mixed membranous layer;
Stop passing into ammonia, and regulate the flow-rate ratio of silane, nitrous oxide, to form membranous layer of silicon oxide;
Increase the flow of perfluoroethane gradually, to form Fluorin doped membranous layer of silicon oxide.
Particularly, in the deposition incipient stage, the flow-rate ratio regulating silane, ammonia and nitrogen is (24 ~ 27): (160 ~ 220): (350 ~ 450), such as flow-rate ratio is the volume ratio under identical input speed, to form silicon nitride (SiN x) rete; Continue input silane and nitrogen, such as, both maintaining respectively, flow proportional is constant; Increase the flow of nitrous oxide gradually, and reduce the flow of ammonia gradually, make reaction generate silicon nitride (SiN x) while, to generate silica (SiO x); When the flow of ammonia is reduced to zero, the flow of nitrous oxide reaches maximum, and namely the flow-rate ratio of silane and nitrous oxide is (24 ~ 27): (160 ~ 220), all generates silica (SiO to make reaction x) rete; Such as, now the flow-rate ratio of silane, nitrous oxide and nitrogen is (24 ~ 27): (160 ~ 220): (350 ~ 450); Increase the flow of perfluoroethane gradually, make reaction generate the membranous layer of silicon oxide (SiO of Fluorin doped xf y), along with the continuous increase of perfluoroethane flow, Fluorin doped concentration constantly increases, when nitrous oxide and perfluoroethane flow-rate ratio reach set point, namely the flow-rate ratio of nitrous oxide and perfluoroethane is (160 ~ 220): time (60 ~ 85), stop deposition process, such as, the flow-rate ratio stopping silane, nitrous oxide, perfluoroethane and nitrogen during deposition process is (24 ~ 27): (160 ~ 220): (60 ~ 85): (350 ~ 450).A good example is, in the deposition incipient stage, the flow-rate ratio regulating silane, ammonia and nitrogen is 25:200:400, and overall formation silane, ammonia and nitrogen are the flux of 1:8:16, to form silicon nitride (SiN x) rete; Then input silane, nitrogen flow constant rate is maintained, increase the flow of nitrous oxide gradually, and reduce the flow of ammonia gradually, make the total amount of ammonia and nitrous oxide, be 1:2 with the flow-rate ratio of nitrogen, namely overallly keep silane, the flow-rate ratio of (ammonia and nitrous oxide) and nitrogen is 25:200:400, make reaction generate silicon nitride (SiN x) while, to generate silica (SiO x); When the flow of ammonia is reduced to zero, the flow of nitrous oxide reaches maximum, and namely the flow-rate ratio of silane, nitrous oxide and nitrogen is 25:200:400, all generates silica (SiO to make reaction x) rete; Then keep the flow of silane, nitrous oxide and nitrogen, increase the flow of perfluoroethane gradually, make reaction generate the membranous layer of silicon oxide (SiO of Fluorin doped xf y), along with the continuous increase of perfluoroethane flow, Fluorin doped concentration constantly increases, when nitrous oxide and perfluoroethane flow-rate ratio reach set point, namely when the flow-rate ratio of nitrous oxide and perfluoroethane is 200:72, stop deposition process, such as, during stopping, the flow-rate ratio of silane, nitrous oxide, perfluoroethane and nitrogen is 25:200:72:400.
Because the refractive index of amorphous silicon is generally between 3.0 ~ 4.0, and the refractive index of silicon nitride is generally between 1.9 ~ 2.2, the refractive index of silica is generally between 1.4 ~ 1.6, and the refractive index of the silica of Fluorin doped is generally below 1.4, and the refractive index of air is 1.0, when light is from air vertical incidence, successively through the silica of Fluorin doped, silica, silicon nitride, enter amorphous silicon, because the refractive index of the medium interface of light process reduces gradually, effectively can reduce boundary reflection like this, namely, more the beam energy of vast scale can be transmitted to the inside of amorphous silicon film, thus absorbed by amorphous silicon, improve the utilance of luminous energy.Compared with the structure without antireflective coating, amorphous silicon is when laser crystallization, and the energy of laser at least can reduce by tens MJs of every square centimeter of (mJ/cm 2).
Further, the thickness of described antireflective coating is d=(K+1/2) × (λ/2n); Wherein, d is the thickness of antireflective coating; K is natural number; The wavelength of laser when λ is laser annealing process; N is antireflective coating refractive index, and like this, the reverberation in the upper and lower two medium faces of antireflective coating can interfere counteracting, reduces boundary reflection further.Preferably, K equals 1 or 2.
S130, laser annealing process is carried out to described amorphous silicon layer, make described amorphous silicon layer be converted into polysilicon membrane.
Such as, laser annealing can adopt the excimer lasers such as chlorination xenon (XeCl), KrF (KrF), argon fluoride (ArF).In the present embodiment, wavelength is adopted to be that the XeCl laser of 308nm is to carry out quasi-molecule laser annealing.Laser beam is linear light sorurce after optical system.
Such as, the pulse frequency of quasi-molecule laser annealing is 300 ~ 800Hz, and and for example, the pulse frequency of quasi-molecule laser annealing is 400 ~ 600Hz; And for example, the burst length is 20 ~ 30nm; And for example, Duplication is 92% ~ 97%; And for example, laser energy density is 250 ~ 600mJ/cm 2, and for example, laser energy density is 400 ~ 480mJ/cm 2; And for example, between pulse, energy hunting 6sigma value is less than 2.7%, and the beam cross-section energy uniformity (uniformity) 2sigma value major axis is less than 1.8%, minor axis is less than 3%.
Preferably, before carrying out laser annealing technique, need to carry out dehydrogenation to amorphous silicon layer, make hydrogen content be down to less than 1%, prevent the generation of the quick-fried phenomenon of hydrogen.Such as, thermal anneal process is adopted to be got rid of from amorphous silicon layer by hydrogen.And for example, the temperature of thermal anneal process is 490 DEG C, and the time is 10min.
Further, before laser annealing process is carried out to described amorphous silicon layer, also comprise: etching processing is carried out to described antireflective coating, to remove the part antireflective coating on described amorphous silicon layer.Particularly, antireflective coating on described amorphous silicon layer non-channel region to be formed is etched, to remove the antireflective coating on non-channel region, retain the antireflective coating on channel region to be formed on amorphous silicon layer, namely, the top of channel region to be formed is provided with antireflective coating, the top of non-channel region is without antireflective coating, in laser crystallization process, the amorphous silicon layer efficiency of light energy utilization being provided with antireflective coating is higher, the amorphous silicon layer efficiency of light energy utilization without antireflective coating is lower, so there is the amorphous silicon layer melting completely of antireflective coating, amorphous silicon layer without antireflective coating is also in non-melt state, namely, when cooling recrystallization, recrystal grain will be " seed " with the solid-state crystallite that low-temperature region is remaining, grow to high-temperature area, realize the controllable super-lateral growth of the grain crystalline direction of growth, ELA process energy window can be expanded, and the polysilicon membrane crystallite dimension of preparation is larger, distribution uniform.In other words, in laser crystallization process, utilize channel region and non-channel region with or without the difference of antireflective coating, realize crystal grain from non-channel region to the super-lateral growth of channel region, the crystal grain making channel region is comparatively large, distribution uniform, thus reduce polysilicon membrane leakage current, improve carrier mobility.
In an embodiment of the present invention, make after described amorphous silicon layer is converted into polysilicon membrane, also to comprise step: remove described antireflective coating.Particularly, described antireflective coating is removed by lithographic method.It should be noted that, remove described antireflective coating and can adopt dry etching technology well known to those skilled in the art, do not repeat them here.
The preparation method of above-mentioned low-temperature polysilicon film, by being provided with antireflective coating on amorphous silicon layer, because the optical index of antireflective coating is between air and amorphous silicon, and the refractive index of antireflective coating reduces gradually along with the increase of deposit thickness, the refractive index difference of interface media of both sides can be reduced by antireflective coating, and then can boundary reflection be reduced, improve the utilance of light energy.
In addition, by carrying out etching processing to antireflective coating, utilize on amorphous silicon layer and build temperature gradient with or without antireflective coating, realize the controllable super-lateral growth of the grain crystalline direction of growth, can expand ELA process energy window, and the polysilicon membrane crystallite dimension of preparation is comparatively large, distribution uniform.
Preparation in accordance with the present invention obtains the making that low-temperature polysilicon film not only can be used for thin-film transistor, and can be used for solar cell material, or in the making of other semiconductor device.
