Description

薄膜晶体管制造方法
技术领域
本发明涉及薄膜晶体管的制造领域,尤其涉及一种薄膜晶体管制造方法。
背景技术
薄膜晶体管(Thin-fi lm trans istors,TFT)阵列基板被广泛应用于不同类型的显示屏中,如LCD或AMOLED显示屏。随着显示屏尺寸的越来越大,对于TFT而言需要有大的电流以支持较高的分辨率。对于底栅型的薄膜晶体管,蚀刻阻挡层设于有源层上,用于在制程中保护有源层,以保证有源层电学性能的稳定。而受到TFT常规设置的影响,蚀刻阻挡层会增大源漏极与有源层之间形成的沟道的长度,从而影响显示器的分辨率。
发明内容
本发明实施例提供一种薄膜晶体管制造方法,用以解决蚀刻阻挡层与源漏极连接增大沟道的长度,产生较大的寄生电容而影响分辨率的技术问题。
本发明所述薄膜晶体管制造方法包括:
在基板的上形成栅极、栅极绝缘层以及有源层;
在所述栅极绝缘层和有源层上形成保护层;
图案化所述保护层以在所述有源层上形成蚀刻阻挡层;
在所述有源层、蚀刻阻挡层及栅极绝缘层上形成金属层;
在所述金属层的第一区域涂覆光敏层;
去除部分所述光敏层显露覆盖所述蚀刻阻挡层上的部分所述金属层;以及去除所述金属层露出部分所述蚀刻阻挡层。
本申请的薄膜晶体管制造方法采用金属层上覆盖光阻层后通过等离子灰化工艺先去除部分蚀刻阻挡层以限定需要去除的金属层来形成源极与漏极,实现通过蚀刻阻挡层与源极、漏极自对准,可以准确定义源漏极位置;而且本申请直接将源极与漏极定义在有源层上,即减小源极与漏极到有源层之间的沟道区域的长度,进而减小寄生电容的产生。

步骤S3,图案化所述保护层12以在所述有源层13上形成蚀刻阻挡层14。该步骤具体包括:在所述有源层13及栅极绝缘层12上形成有机物层(图未示),然后,图案化所述有机物层形成位于所述有源层13中部的所述蚀刻阻挡层14。所述蚀刻阻挡层14用于保护所述有源层13,蚀刻阻挡层材料为有机材料,如光阻抗蚀剂或其他光敏有机材料。它可以很容易地除去溶剂或其他化学物质,而不破坏活动的有源层13。可以理解,在其它实施方式中,所述蚀刻阻挡层14可以保留。
请参阅图7,步骤S4:在所述有源13、蚀刻阻挡层14及栅极绝缘层12上形成金属层15;所述金属层15包括正投影覆盖所述蚀刻阻挡层14及有源层13的第一区域151以及连接所述第一区域151相对两侧的第二区域152。
具体的,在形成第一区域151与第二区域152时,使所述第一区域151覆盖所述蚀刻阻挡层14外表面及所述有源层13整个外表面,所述第二区域152连接所述第一区域位于有源层13的两侧。
步骤S5:在所述金属层15的第一区域151涂覆光敏层16。请参阅图8,本步骤包括在所述金属层15的第一区域上覆盖光刻胶或光敏有机材料,再通过图案化光刻胶形成正投影覆盖所述有源层13及蚀刻阻挡层14的所述光敏层16,所述光敏层16覆盖所述金属层的第一区域151。
步骤S6:去除部分所述光敏层16以显露覆盖所述蚀刻阻挡层14上的部分所述金属层15的第一区域151。
请参阅图9,本步骤包括S61,去除露出所述光敏层16两侧的金属层15的第一区域151以外的金属层。本步可以通过湿蚀刻工艺或者干蚀刻工艺去除所述第一区域151以外的金属层部分,剩余的第一区域151被光敏层16覆盖。
请参阅图10,本步骤还包括S62,去除部分光敏层16露出部分所述第一区域151。本步骤中中采用等离子灰化工艺去除所述部分光敏层16以显露覆盖所述蚀刻阻挡层14的部分第一区域151,使剩余的光敏层覆盖金属层的另一部分第一区域,并且剩余的光敏层位于露出的部分金属层两侧形成自对准平面162。具体的,所述第一区域151包括位于所述正投影于有源层的部分及正投影位于有源层两侧的区域153。去除部分光敏层16露出部分位于正投影于有源层的第一区域部分,露出的第一区域151大致呈倒置U形并且高出剩余的光敏层16。剩余的光敏层位于区域153上构成自对准平面162。本步骤省去光罩方式的图案化工艺,采用等离子灰化工艺去除部分光敏层16,可以避免制造过程中对有源层13或者金属层15带来外来试剂等污染物。
请参阅图11,步骤S7:去除所述金属层露出部分所述蚀刻阻挡层14。通过蚀刻工艺去除所述露出的金属层的部分第一区域151并露出所述蚀刻阻挡层14,蚀刻后的剩余的金属层的表面154与所述自对准平面162对齐。
请参阅图12,步骤S8,所述方法还包括:去除剩余的光敏层显露剩余的金属层以形成所述源极和漏极。
位于所述蚀刻阻挡层14一侧的剩余的第一区域与其相连接的区域153构成源极17,位于所述蚀刻阻挡层14另一侧的剩余的第一区域与其相连接的区域153构成漏极18。本步骤是通过图案化工艺去除露出的所述第一区域151,留下位于所述蚀刻阻挡层14两侧的与所述区域153连接的剩余第一区域151,剩余第一区域151与所述区域153构成漏极18及源极17。本步骤中包括:
在所述露出的第一区域表面以及剩余光阻层的表面涂布光刻胶层;
图案化所述光刻胶层,移除覆盖所述露出的第一区域的部分光刻胶层;
以剩余的光刻胶层为掩膜保护剩余光阻层,对所述露出的第一区域进行蚀刻;剥离剩余的所述光刻胶层,形成剩余的第一区域。
本方法还包括步骤S9:去除剩余的光敏层16以露出所述源极17与所述漏极18。剩余的光敏层是指覆盖剩余第一区域的光敏层。所述源极17与所述漏极18间隔设置并连接所述有源层13相对两侧的部分。
请参阅图13,本方法中,还可以包括步骤S10(图1未示)去除所述蚀刻阻挡层以形成所述薄膜晶体管的沟道区域:具体为图案化工艺去除所述蚀刻阻挡层14,露出所述源极17与漏极18之间的间隙。此步骤中,同时包括对源极17、漏极18与所述蚀刻阻挡层14连接的部分进行平整化加工。
在其他实施例中,也可以不包括步骤S10,蚀刻阻挡层没有被去除,从而保留在所述薄膜晶体管的沟道区域上,蚀刻阻挡层被保留可以不需要最后再对蚀刻阻挡层进行光刻,从而节省光罩次数,减少工艺流程,而且蚀刻阻挡层被保留也能增强最后整个薄膜晶体管的强度。
本申请的薄膜晶体管制造方法采用金属层上覆盖蚀刻阻挡层后通过等离子灰化工艺先去除部分光敏层16以限定需要去除的金属层来形成源极17与漏极18,实现通过蚀刻阻挡层与源极17、漏极18自对准,可以准确定义源漏极位置;而且相较于现有技术的在蚀刻阻挡层上通过光罩形成连接部分蚀刻阻挡层的源漏极,本申请直接将源极与漏极定义在有源层13上,即减小源极17与漏极18到有源层13之间的沟道区域的长度,进而减小寄生电容的产生,另外可以节省了一道光罩式图案化工艺,减少工艺流程,节省成本。
请参阅图14,本发明第二实施例中,与第一实施例不同之处在于在形成蚀刻阻挡层44的同时形成支撑层45及支撑层46。本实施例中,支撑层为两个,最后形成一对源漏极连接有源层43。具体的步骤如下,与上述第一实施例相同的步骤再次不再做过多赘述,所述薄膜晶体管制造方法包括:
步骤S20:在所述栅极绝缘层和有源层上形成保护层;所保护层可以是有机材料、无极材料或者有机材料无极材料混合。在此步骤S20之前在基板的上形成栅极、栅极绝缘层以及有源层是与第一实施例的步骤S1的方法相同,本实施例中可以借鉴第一实施例的图1至图3。
请参阅图15,步骤S21,图案化所述保护层以在所述栅极绝缘层12上形成蚀刻阻挡层44及位于所述蚀刻阻挡层44两侧的支撑层45、46。形成蚀刻阻挡层44及支撑层45、46是通过同一道工艺完成,也就是本实施例中,在说形成蚀刻阻挡层44时就形成了两侧的支撑层45、46,如此节省光罩次数,减少工艺流程。
请参阅图16与图17,步骤S22,在所述蚀刻阻挡层44、支撑层45、46上形成金属层47以及在所述金属层47上形成光敏层48,其中光敏层可以用有平坦化功能的有机层代替。此步骤与所述步骤S4在所述有源层、蚀刻阻挡层及栅极绝缘层上形成金属层,及步骤S5在所述金属层的第一区域涂覆光敏层均是通过同一道工艺完成,也就是说步骤S4的金属层同样覆盖支撑层,支撑层上的金属层同样有光敏层或有机平坦化层,如此可以节省一步工艺。
请参阅图18,步骤S23,通过同一道工艺完成去除部分所述光敏层48显露位于所述支撑层上45、46以及蚀刻阻挡层44上的部分所述金属层47;本步骤与所述步骤S6去除部分所述光敏层显露覆盖所述蚀刻阻挡层上的部分所述金属层的第一区域是同一工艺。本步骤的另一种实施方式是通过涂布有机光敏平坦化层,并通过不完全曝光以及对应的显影,选择性的去除支撑层以及蚀刻阻挡层上的有机平坦化层。
请参阅图19,步骤S24,去除所述金属层47显露部分所述支撑层45、46蚀刻阻挡层44,本步骤是通过同一道工艺完成,如此节省光罩次数,减少工艺流程。
本实施例中可以包括S25步骤,去除所述支撑层。去除所述支撑层包括先去除剩余的光敏层的步骤。在其它实施方式中,可以保留所述支撑层,支撑层被保留可以不需要最后再对支撑层进行光刻,从而节省光罩次数,减少工艺流程,而且支撑层被保留也能增强最后整个薄膜晶体管的强度。
以上所述是本发明的优选实施方式,应当指出,对于本技术领域的普通技术人员来说,在不脱离本发明原理的前提下,还可以做出若干改进和润饰,这些改进和润饰也视为本发明的保护范围。
