Background
The polysilicon Thin Film Transistor is widely applied to the display technology field because of its advantages of small power consumption and large electron mobility, the early polysilicon Thin Film Transistor has a process Temperature as high as 1000 ℃, so the selection of the substrate material is greatly limited, recently, due to the development of laser, the process Temperature can be reduced to below 600 ℃, and the polysilicon Thin Film Transistor obtained by using the process method is also called a Low Temperature polysilicon Thin Film Transistor (LTPS TFT).
The key technology for preparing LTPS TFT is crystallization for converting amorphous silicon into polysilicon, and the common methods in the prior art include various manufacturing methods such as Excimer Laser Annealing (ELA), solid-phase crystallization (SPC), Metal Induced Crystallization (MIC), and the like, while the polysilicon film of the transistor active layer in the backplane obtained by the ELA process is the only method for mass production.
However, in recent years, in the production by the ELA process, if the grain size of the obtained polycrystalline silicon thin film is large, the distribution of the grains is not uniform, and if the grain distribution of the obtained polycrystalline silicon thin film is uniform, the grain size is small. Therefore, a polysilicon thin film having both grain size and uniformity cannot be obtained at present.

Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
The embodiment of the invention provides a method for manufacturing a low-temperature polycrystalline silicon thin film, which comprises the following steps of:
s10, as shown in fig. 2, the first amorphous silicon layer 20 is formed on the substrate 10.
The method for forming the first amorphous silicon layer 20 on the substrate 10 includes Deposition, coating, etc., and the present invention uses a Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) technique to deposit the first amorphous silicon layer 20 on the substrate 10.
The thickness of the first amorphous silicon layer 20 may be, for example, 300 to 400nm, specifically, 320nm, 340nm, 360nm, and 380nm, and the suitable thickness may improve the uniformity of the protrusions.
S20, as shown in fig. 3, the first laser beam is used to perform the first laser annealing process on the first amorphous silicon layer 20, so as to obtain the polysilicon growth bottom layer 21.
The overlapping ratio of the adjacent laser beams of the first laser beam may be, for example, 97% to 98%, and specifically, may be, for example, 97.2%, 97.4%, 97.5%, 97.6%, and 97.8%. The suitable overlapping rate of the adjacent lasers enables the crystallization degree of the first amorphous silicon layer 20 to be good, and is beneficial to the homogenization of the protrusion.
The pulse length of the first laser beam may be, for example, 50 to 70 seconds, specifically, 55 seconds, 60 seconds, or 65 seconds. And the pulse lengthening device is started to lengthen the pulse length, the proper pulse length is beneficial to the formation of the protrusion, and the crystal seed layer is manufactured through the protrusion to guide the growth of the crystal grains in the second amorphous silicon layer.
Here, the first amorphous silicon layer 20(a-Si) may be annealed using, for example, a xenon chloride (XeCl) excimer laser (wavelength 308nm) to obtain the polycrystalline silicon growth underlayer 21.
S30, as shown in fig. 4, a second amorphous silicon layer 30 is formed on the substrate 10 on which the polysilicon growth primer layer 21 is formed.
The method of forming the second amorphous silicon layer 30 on the substrate 10 having the polysilicon growth primer layer 21 formed thereon is deposition, coating, etc., and the present invention deposits the second amorphous silicon layer 30 on the substrate using PECVD technique.
The thickness of the second amorphous silicon layer 30 may be, for example, 400 to 500nm, and specifically, may be, for example, 420nm, 440nm, 460nm, and 480 nm. The appropriate thickness not only increases the grain size but also reduces the surface roughness of the polysilicon thin film 31.
S40, as shown in fig. 5, the second laser beam is used to perform the second laser annealing process on the second amorphous silicon layer 30, so as to obtain the polysilicon thin film 31.
The overlapping ratio of the adjacent laser beams of the second laser beam may be, for example, 95% to 96.5%, specifically, 95.2%, 95.4%, 95.5%, 95.6%, 95.8%, 96.0%, and 96.2%. The second amorphous silicon layer 30 has the crystal grain guidance on the polycrystalline silicon growth bottom layer 21 in the process of generating crystal grains, and the overlapping rate of proper adjacent lasers is not required to be too high, so that the yield is improved.
The pulse length of the second laser beam may be, for example, 20 to 30s, specifically, 22s, 24s, 25s, 26s, and 28 s. Here, the pulse lengthening device is turned off, and the surface roughness of the polysilicon thin film 31 can be reduced by selecting an appropriate pulse length without lengthening the pulse length.
Here, the polysilicon thin film 31 can be obtained by annealing the second amorphous silicon layer 30(a-Si) with an excimer laser such as xenon chloride, krypton fluoride, or argon fluoride, or a solid-state laser (green laser having a wavelength of 532 nm).
It should be noted that, during the manufacturing process, the overlapping rate of the adjacent laser of the first laser beam should be greater than the overlapping rate of the adjacent laser of the second laser beam, and the pulse length of the first laser beam should be greater than the pulse length of the second laser beam. Then, during the first laser annealing, the pulse lengthening device must be turned on so that the pulse length of the first laser beam should be longer than the pulse length of the second laser beam.
Preferably, the thickness of the second amorphous silicon layer 30 is greater than the thickness of the first amorphous silicon layer 20.
Since the height of the protrusion formed by the first amorphous silicon layer 20 after laser annealing is negligible compared with the thickness of the second amorphous silicon layer 30, the influence on the flatness of the surface of the amorphous silicon layer 30 is small after the second amorphous silicon layer 30 is formed on the polysilicon growth layer 21, so that the roughness of the polysilicon thin film 31 formed after the second laser annealing is low.
According to the method for manufacturing the low-temperature polycrystalline silicon thin film, provided by the embodiment of the invention, the first laser beam with longer pulse length and higher overlapping rate of adjacent lasers is used for carrying out laser annealing on the first amorphous silicon layer 20, so that the polycrystalline silicon growth bottom layer 21 with obvious surface protrusions and regularly arranged and distributed protrusions can be grown. Since the arrayed protrusions on the polysilicon growth underlayer 21 can be used as the crystallization seeds of the second amorphous silicon layer 30 to grow large and regular crystal grains again, the second amorphous silicon layer 30 is deposited again on the polysilicon growth underlayer 21, and the second amorphous silicon layer 30 is subjected to laser annealing using a second laser beam having a shorter pulse length and a lower overlap ratio of adjacent lasers with respect to the second amorphous silicon layer 30, so that the second amorphous silicon layer 30 can also grow large and uniform crystal grains by virtue of the first excellent polysilicon growth underlayer 21, and the polysilicon thin film 31 has an alignment orientation. And also can simultaneously maintain the low surface roughness of the final polysilicon thin film 31 under the condition of shorter pulse length.
Therefore, the low-temperature polycrystalline silicon film manufactured by the method for manufacturing the low-temperature polycrystalline silicon provided by the invention has larger grain size and uniform distribution (belongs to a tetragonal crystal system and is high-quality polycrystalline silicon with a crystal orientation index of 100), and simultaneously solves the problems of lower mobility and non-uniform mobility and threshold voltage when being applied to a backboard of a low-temperature polycrystalline silicon display. The method is suitable for the fields of low-temperature polysilicon active matrix organic light emitting diode displays (LTPS-AMOLED), low-temperature polysilicon thin film transistor liquid crystal displays (LTPS TFT-LCD) and the like.
Preferably, the method further includes forming a buffer layer 40 on the substrate 10 before the step S10.
The buffer layer 40 is formed on the substrate 10 by deposition, coating, etc., and the present invention deposits the buffer layer 40 on the substrate 10 using PECVD technique. The PECVD has the advantages of low basic temperature, high deposition rate, good film forming quality and the like, thereby being widely applied to the field of low-temperature polycrystalline silicon film manufacturing.
The substrate 10 may be a glass or non-silicon substrate, and the non-silicon substrate may be, for example: a flexible Polyimide (PI) substrate, a transparent ceramic substrate or a polymer transparent film substrate. The back surface of the flexible PI substrate is attached to the transparent material substrate. The transparent porcelain substrate includes, for example, alumina (A1)2O3) Oxygen memory (Y)2O3) Magnesium oxide (MgO), calcium oxide (CaO), barium dioxide (TiO)2) The hypo-oxidized oyster (ThO)2) Thorium dioxide (ZrO)2) Isooxide transparent ceramic substrate, and nitriding rate (AlN), zinc sulfide (ZnS), zinc selenide (ZnSe), magnesium fluoride (MgF)2) Calcium fluoride (CaF)2) And the like non-oxide transparent ceramic substrates.
Optionally, the buffer layer 40 is a double-layer structure of SiNx (silicon oxide)/SiO2(silicon nitride) film, wherein the SiNx thickness is 50-150nm, SiO2The thickness is 100-350 nm.
Due to SiO2Polysilicon with better crystal phase is easier to form than SiNx, and SiNx has better effect of blocking pollutants from the substrate, so that the upper layer of the buffer layer is preferably SiO2And the lower layer is SiNx.
Optionally, the buffer layer 40 is SiNx or SiO with a single-layer structure2A film of SiNx 50-150nm in thickness and SiO2The thickness is 100-350 nm.
The buffer layer 40 is formed on the substrate to prevent metal ions in the substrate from diffusing into the polysilicon thin film region to generate defect centers and thus increase leakage current. A buffer layer 40 of suitable thickness may also improve the quality of the polysilicon back interface and reduce thermal conduction, slowing the cooling rate of the laser heated silicon, helping to form larger polysilicon grains.
Further preferably, the thickness of the buffer layer 40 is 150-500 nm.
In the embodiment of the present invention, before the process of manufacturing the polysilicon thin film is performed, the substrate 10 may be further cleaned.
The method for manufacturing a low temperature polysilicon thin film according to the present invention will be described below with reference to a specific example.

Here, by laser annealing the first amorphous silicon layer 20 using the first laser beam having a pulse length of 68s and an overlap ratio of adjacent lasers of 97.7%, as shown in fig. 6, the polysilicon growth underlayer 21 of the arrayed protrusions can be grown.

Here, the protrusions on the polycrystalline silicon growth underlayer 21 guide the growth of a-Si as a seed for crystallization of the second amorphous silicon layer 30, so that the second amorphous silicon layer 30 generates large and ordered crystal grains. The size of the crystal grain generated in the prior art is only about 0.3 μm, but the size of the crystal grain in the low-temperature polycrystalline silicon film manufactured by the method for manufacturing the low-temperature polycrystalline silicon provided by the embodiment of the invention can reach about 0.4 μm. In addition, the pulse length of the second laser beam is smaller during the second laser annealing, so that the protrusion formed on the surface of the polycrystalline silicon thin film 31 is smaller, the surface roughness of the polycrystalline silicon thin film 31 is reduced, and the electron mobility is improved.
The embodiment of the invention also provides a low-temperature polycrystalline silicon film which is prepared by the preparation method of the low-temperature polycrystalline silicon film.
The low-temperature polycrystalline silicon film manufactured by the method for manufacturing the low-temperature polycrystalline silicon has larger grain size and uniform distribution (belongs to a tetragonal crystal system and is high-quality polycrystalline silicon with a crystal orientation index of 100), and simultaneously solves the problems of lower mobility and non-uniform mobility and threshold voltage when being applied to a backboard of a low-temperature polycrystalline silicon display.
