Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of Thin Film Transistors (TFT), in particular to a metal oxide thin film transistor and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The thin film transistor is used as a core element of the flat panel display, and forms a driving circuit together with the storage capacitor, thereby playing an important role in realizing large-area, high-definition and high-frame-frequency display. Currently, the most mature and widely used process is the amorphous silicon (a-Si) TFT, but with a low field effect mobility (<1 cm2Vs), it is difficult to drive the active display device, and the a-Si photostability is poor. Although the polysilicon TFT device has higher mobility and better stability, the device has poor uniformity and high preparation cost, and is incompatible with the conventional IC process. Organic Thin Film Transistors (OTFTs) also suffer from low mobility and poor stability.
In recent years, metal oxide TFTs represented by IZO and IGZO are gradually replacing conventional a-Si TFTs and becoming core elements of new-generation flat panel display devices due to their advantages of high mobility, high visible light transmittance, low-temperature fabrication, low cost, good uniformity, and compatibility with IC processes. Nomura et al in 2004NatureThe periodical publication reports TFT [ alpha ] -IGZO with amorphous indium gallium zinc oxide (a-IGZO) as the channel layerNature,2004,432(7061):488-492]Saturation mobility of the device: (μ) Is 6-9 cm2/Vs。
However, with the rapid development of integrated circuits and the demand for higher and higher resolution of displays, the electrical performance of thin film transistors is further improved, and the device size is further reduced. For conventional lateral TFT devices, this is typically achieved by reducing the channel length. However, due to the limitation of the processing technology, generally in the micron scale, further size reduction will greatly increase the manufacturing cost, and the short channel effect becomes a great obstacle to further reducing the conventional device.
The TFT with a vertical structure is adopted, and the thickness of the channel layer clamped between the source electrode and the drain electrode is the length of the channel layer, so that the limitation of the traditional processing technology can be broken through, the channel length can be reduced to submicron or even nanometer level in principle, the working current, the response speed and the on-off ratio of the device are greatly improved, and the starting voltage and the power consumption of the device can be reduced. Y, Yang, etc. [ solution ]Appl. Phys. Lett.,2007,91:092911],[Appl. Phys. Lett.,2004,85(21):5084-5086]Organic transistors (VOFETs) of a vertically stacked structure are reported. However, the source electrode of the transistor is located between the dielectric layer and the channel layer, and the thickness of the source electrode and the interface of the source electrode and the channel layer affect the collection and transmission of carriers. To date, reports of metal oxide TFTs based on a vertical structure have not been found.
