薄膜晶体管及其制作方法
技术领域
本发明属于半导体技术领域,具体地讲,涉及一种能够实现较短沟道的薄膜晶体管及其制作方法。
背景技术
金属氧化物半导体薄膜晶体管以其良好的器件性能,较低的工艺成本,被认为是下一代平板显示中的关键技术。然而,随着显示器性能的提高,要求金属氧化物半导体薄膜晶体管中的沟道具有更大的宽长比,而沟道的宽长比决定了该金属氧化物半导体薄膜晶体管的功能特性,在沟道的宽度W一定的条件下,缩短沟道的长度L能够使该金属氧化物半导体薄膜晶体管具有更大的宽长比W/L,从而具有更大的开态电流。
然而,传统的金属氧化物半导体薄膜晶体管在制作过程中,沟道的长度L直接受光刻工艺的限制,因此实现短沟道有较大的难度。

附图说明
通过结合附图进行的以下描述,本发明的实施例的上述和其它方面、特点和优点将变得更加清楚,附图中:
图1a至图1g是根据本发明的实施例的薄膜晶体管的制作方法的流程图;
图2是根据本发明的另一实施例的薄膜晶体管的结构示意图;
图3是根据本发明的又一实施例的薄膜晶体管的结构示意图;
图4是根据本发明的又一实施例的薄膜晶体管的结构示意图。
具体实施方式
以下,将参照附图来详细描述本发明的实施例。然而,可以以许多不同的形式来实施本发明,并且本发明不应该被解释为限制于这里阐述的具体实施例。相反,提供这些实施例是为了解释本发明的原理及其实际应用,从而使本领域的其他技术人员能够理解本发明的各种实施例和适合于特定预期应用的各种修改。
在附图中,为了清楚元件,可以夸大元件的形状和尺寸,并且相同的标号将始终被用于表示相同或相似的元件。
将理解的是,尽管在这里可使用术语“第一”、“第二”等来描述各种元件,但是这些元件不应受这些术语的限制。这些术语仅用于将一个元件与另一个元件区分开来。
图1a至图1g示出了根据本发明的实施例的薄膜晶体管的制作流程图。
首先,参照图1a,在基板1上形成栅极2。这里,栅极2的截面形状呈梯形状,但本发明并不限制于此。例如,作为本发明的另一实施方式,如图2所示,栅极2的中间部分凸起,即栅极2的中间部分与其两端具有台阶差,并且栅极2的中间部分的截面形状呈梯形状。
此外,栅极2可以由Al、Mo、Cu、Ag等金属材料制成。
接着,参照图1b,形成覆盖基板1和栅极2的栅极绝缘层3。这里,栅极绝缘层3覆盖栅极2的部分凸起,以形成凸起部31,而栅极绝缘层3直接覆盖基板1的部分未凸起,以形成平坦部32。一般而言,凸起部31的两侧均为平坦部32。
此外,栅极绝缘层3可以由SiNx、SiOx、Al2O3等绝缘材料制成。
接着,参照图1c,在凸起部31上形成分别位于凸起部31两端的第一有源层4a和第二有源层4b,第一有源层4a沿着凸起部31的左侧壁延伸至位于凸起部31左侧的平坦部32上,而第二有源层4b沿着凸起部31的右侧壁延伸至位于凸起部31右侧的平坦部32上。由于栅极2呈梯形状,对应地,凸起部31亦呈梯形状。
进一步地,第一有源层4a和第二有源层4b之间具有间隔,从而暴露出凸起部31。此外,第一有源层4a和第二有源层4b可以由ZnO基材料、In2O3基材料、SnO2基材料或者其他金属氧化物半导体材料制成。
接着,参照图1d,在延伸至位于凸起部31左侧的平坦部32上形成第一源极5a,且在延伸至位于凸起部31右侧的平坦部32上形成第二源极5b,第一源极5a和第二源极5b彼此连接。例如,第一源极5a和第二源极5b一体形成,并整体呈环状或U字型等半包围形状;这样,可通过一根导线与一体的第一源极5a和第二源极5b相连,以保证对第一源极5a和第二源极5b施加电压的稳定性。
作为本发明的另一实施方式,参照图3,在位于凸起部31上的第一有源层4a上形成第一源极5a,且在位于凸起部31上的第二有源层4b上形成第二源极5b,第一源极5a和第二源极5b彼此连接。
作为本发明的另一实施方式,请参照图4,在凸起部31左侧的平坦部32上形成第一源极5a,且在凸起部31右侧的平坦部32上形成第二源极5b。接着,在凸起部31上形成分别位于凸起部31两端的第一有源层4a和第二有源层4b,第一有源层4a沿着凸起部31的左侧壁延伸至第一源极5a上,而第二有源层4b沿着凸起部31的右侧壁延伸至第二源极5b上。
接着,参照图1e,形成覆盖第一有源层4a、第二有源层4b、第一源极5a、第二源极5b和栅极绝缘层3的钝化层6。
此外,钝化层6可以由SiNx、SiOx、Al2O3等绝缘材料制成。
接着,参照图1f,在钝化层6中形成暴露出凸起部31上的第一有源层4a的第一过孔6a,且在钝化层6中形成暴露出凸起部31上的第二有源层4b的第二过孔6b。需要说明的是,图1f所示的第一过孔6a和第二过孔6b的形成位置也适用于图4所示的实施例,具体如图4所示。
作为本发明的另一实施例,参照图3,在钝化层6中形成暴露出延伸至位于凸起部31左侧的平坦部32上的第一有源层4a的第一过孔6a,且在钝化层6中形成暴露出延伸至位于凸起部31右侧的平坦部32上的第二有源层4b的第二过孔6b。
最后,参照图1g,在钝化层6上形成漏极7,漏极7分别通过第一过孔6a和第二过孔6b与凸起部31上的第一有源层4a和第二有源层4b接触。这样,漏极7与凸起部31上的第一有源层4a的接触平面与第一源极5a与平坦部32上的第一有源层4a的接触平面之间的距离等于凸起部31的高度,漏极7与凸起部31上第二有源层4b的接触平面与第二源极5b与平坦部32上的第二有源层4b的接触平面之间的距离等于凸起部31的高度。
需要说明的是,图1所示的漏极7的形成位置也适用于图4所示的实施例,具体如图4所示。
此外,漏极7可以由ITO、IZO等透明金属氧化物半导体导电材料制成。需要说明的是,在本实施例中,利用同种材料同时制成漏极7和像素电极。
作为本发明的另一实施方式,参照图3,在钝化层6上形成漏极7,漏极7分别通过第一过孔6a和第二过孔6b与平坦部32上的第一有源层4a和第二有源层4b接触。
如此,当本实施例的薄膜晶体管在使用时,漏极7与第一源极5a或第二源极5b之间的沟道由凸起部31左侧壁或者右侧壁上的第一有源层4a或第二有源层4b构成,即沟道的长度由凸起部31左侧壁或者右侧壁的长度决定,而凸起部31左侧壁或者右侧壁的长度是由栅极2的左侧壁或者右侧壁的长度(即栅极2的高度)决定,因此沟道的长度由栅极2的左侧壁或者右侧壁的长度决定,从而通过控制栅极2的左侧壁或者右侧壁的长度来控制沟道的长度。这样,控制栅极2的左侧壁或者右侧壁的长度短,就能够使沟道的长度短。
综上所述,根据本发明的实施例,实现了短沟道的薄膜晶体管,从而使制作得到的薄膜晶体管具有更大的宽长比,具有更大的开态电流。
虽然已经参照特定实施例示出并描述了本发明,但是本领域的技术人员将理解:在不脱离由权利要求及其等同物限定的本发明的精神和范围的情况下,可在此进行形式和细节上的各种变化。
