Background
TFT-LCDs (thin film transistor liquid crystal displays) have been rapidly developed in recent years due to their advantages of low power consumption, thin and easy use, high brightness, high contrast, and high response speed, and thus have a dominant position in the current flat panel display market. In a TFT, a source and a drain are generally formed of a metal layer excellent in electrical properties. However, due to the characteristic that the metal layer is easily oxidized, a three-layer structure is generally adopted for preparing the source and drain electrodes, namely, a protective layer is respectively added on the upper and lower parts of the metal layer to prevent the source and drain electrodes from being oxidized in the TFT preparation process. Although the method can better avoid the oxidation of the metal layer, the contact resistance between the source and drain electrodes and the active region is also increased. And the adhesion between the source and drain and the photoresist is poor, and the photoresist is easy to strip. How to prepare a source-drain electrode film which has oxidation resistance and is well contacted with a photoresist is an urgent problem to be solved.

The method of manufacturing a thin film transistor according to the present embodiment includes the following steps.
In step S101, a substrate is provided, and a substrate is selected and cleaned.
In step S102, a gate electrode layer, a gate insulating layer, and an active layer are formed on the substrate by deposition, exposure, development, and etching.
Next, in step S103, a metal layer 1 is deposited, and the resulting structure is shown in fig. 2. Fig. 2 shows a schematic structural diagram of a source-drain metal layer before processing. The metal layer 1, i.e., the source layer and the drain layer to be formed later, may include any one or a combination of copper, aluminum, magnesium, and silver, and these metals have excellent electrical conductivity, so that they can provide excellent electrical contact properties to the thin film transistor, but are easily oxidized.
To solve this problem, in step S104, the metal layer 1 is plasma-treated with a fluorine-containing gas mainly including SiF4 gas and nitrogen gas.
Fig. 3 shows a process diagram for plasma treatment of a source drain metal layer with a fluorine-containing gas. As shown in fig. 3, the metal layer 1 is plasma-treated with SiF4 gas and nitrogen gas, during the treatment, SiF4 gas and nitrogen gas are plasma-converted to generate fluorine-containing groups, which are more oxidized than oxygen, and in the presence of the fluorine-containing groups, the metal does not react with oxygen in the air, and the fluorine-containing groups are equivalent to form a protective film on the surface of the metal to prevent the metal from reacting with oxygen in the air, thereby improving the oxidation resistance of the metal.
In the present embodiment, the metal layer is treated with plasma containing fluorine gas to enhance the oxidation resistance, and the source and drain layers do not require a protective layer on the upper and lower portions thereof, so that the structures of the source and drain layers can be simplified.
In addition, as shown in fig. 4, after the bombardment by the plasma, the surface roughness of the metal layer 1 is increased, so that the adhesion between the metal layer and the photoresist in the subsequent process can be enhanced, and the photoresist peeling phenomenon can be prevented.
Then, in step S105, the metal layer after the above-described treatment is subjected to a treatment such as etching, and a source layer and a drain layer are formed, respectively.
Finally, a passivation insulating layer is deposited after the source and drain layers are formed and patterned, the passivation insulating layer having a main component of silicon dioxide, and then an Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) film layer is deposited and patterned to form a pixel electrode layer.
In the embodiment, the metal layer, namely the source electrode layer and the drain electrode layer, is subjected to plasma treatment by adopting fluorine-containing gas, so that the oxidation resistance of the source drain electrode is improved, the source electrode layer and the drain electrode layer are simplified by adopting a traditional three-layer structure with a protective layer respectively arranged on the upper part and the lower part, the contact resistance of the source drain electrode and a channel is reduced, the surface roughness is improved after the source electrode layer and the drain electrode layer are bombarded by plasma, the adhesion force between the source electrode layer and the photoresist and the adhesion force between the drain electrode layer and the photoresist can be enhanced, the photoresist is prevented from being stripped, and the yield of the process is.
Example two
The present embodiment provides a thin film transistor.
The thin film transistor according to the present embodiment includes: a substrate; a gate electrode layer, a gate insulating layer and an active layer formed on the substrate; and a source electrode layer and a drain electrode layer formed over the active layer, wherein the source electrode layer and the drain electrode layer are formed by etching a metal layer deposited on the active layer. The metal layer, i.e., the source and drain layers, respectively comprise any one or a combination of copper, aluminum, magnesium, silver.
Before the metal layer is etched, the metal layer is subjected to oxidation resistance treatment, namely, the metal layer is subjected to plasma treatment by adopting fluorine-containing gas. The fluorine-containing gas composition includes SiF4 gas and nitrogen gas, and after treatment, an oxidation-resistant protective film is formed on the surface of the metal layer, thereby improving oxidation resistance of the metal layer, i.e., the source layer and the drain layer, the principle of which is described in the first embodiment and will not be described again.
After the source layer and the drain layer are subjected to plasma treatment with a fluorine-containing gas, the oxidation resistance is improved without protective layers respectively disposed on the upper and lower portions of the source layer and the drain layer in the conventional structure. Thus, the structures of the source layer and the drain layer can be simplified. The simplified structure of the source and drain layers can reduce the contact resistance of the source and drain layers with the channel. And after the source electrode layer and the drain electrode layer are bombarded by plasma, the surface roughness is improved, the adhesion between the source electrode layer and the photoresist is enhanced in the subsequent process, and the yield of the process is improved.
The thin film transistor according to the present embodiment further includes a passivation insulating layer and a pixel electrode layer formed on the source and drain layers, the passivation insulating layer having a main component of silicon dioxide, and the pixel electrode layer having a main component of Indium Tin Oxide (ITO).
