Specific embodiment
Following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and technical solution in the embodiment of the present invention carries out clear, complete Site preparation description, it is clear that described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, instead of all the embodiments.It is based on Embodiment in the present invention, it is obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts every other Embodiment shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
It should be pointed out that " first " used in present patent application specification and claims, " the Two " and similar word be not offered as any sequence, quantity or importance, and be used only to distinguish different composition portions Point.In the description of the present invention, it is to be understood that, the orientation or positional relationship of the instructions such as term " on ", "lower" is based on attached Orientation or positional relationship shown in figure, is merely for convenience of description of the present invention and simplification of the description, rather than indication or suggestion is signified Device or element must have a particular orientation, specific orientation construction and operation, therefore should not be understood as to of the invention Limitation.
In the related art, as shown in Figure 1, oxide semiconductor tft array substrate includes: underlay substrate 1, grid 2, grid Pole insulating layer 3, active layer 4, drain electrode 5, source electrode 6, silicon dioxide insulating layer 71, silicon nitride dielectric layer 72, organic insulator 8, public affairs Common electrode 9, pixel electrode 10.
Wherein, grid 2, active layer 4, drain electrode 5, source electrode 6 constitute TFT.
In oxide semiconductor tft array substrate, the material of insulating layer 7 usually selects conventional silica or two Silica and silicon nitride.
Refering to what is shown in Fig. 1, when the material selection silica and silicon nitride of insulating layer 7, due to silicon nitride layer 72 with have The directly contact of active layer 4 is easy to cause 4 conductor of active layer, so, select silicon dioxide layer 71 to be directly in contact with active layer 4, Silicon nitride layer 72 is re-formed on silicon dioxide layer 71.
For simplification of flowsheet, generallys use dry etching and produce via hole 11 through insulating layer 7, the bottom of via hole 11 Expose the upper surface of drain electrode 5.
Usually select carbon fluorine gas (such as CF4) and oxygen silicon dioxide layer 71 is performed etching as working gas.? During etching, as shown in Fig. 2, since carbon fluorine gas and oxygen react with silicon dioxide layer 71, so that silica The grown on interior walls of 71 via holes has a large amount of fluorocarbon polymer, and cannot remove removal easily in the follow-up process, thus Meeting is so that the pixel electrode 10 being subsequently formed and 5 overlap joint of drain electrode are bad, to cause to show bad.
In order to solve the above technical problems, the embodiment of the invention provides a kind of production method of array substrate, such as Fig. 3 institute Show, which includes 5 steps, it is illustrated below with reference to key step of Fig. 4~Fig. 6 to the production method:
Step S01, the first pattern 5 is formed above underlay substrate 1;
Step S02, the insulating layer 7 of the first pattern 5 of covering is formed;
Step S03, as shown in figure 4, forming protection pattern 12 above insulating layer 7, protection pattern 12 exposes on insulating layer 7 The part 73 of via hole to be formed;
Step S04, by the part 73 of the via hole to be formed on etching gas etching insulating layer 7, formed such as Fig. 5 (a) or Hole 110 shown in Fig. 5 (b), the bottom of hole 110 have the residual film layer of preset thickness (label is in Fig. 5 (b));Its In, the thickness of 0≤preset thickness < insulating layer (label is in Fig. 5 (b));Etching gas and insulating layer are formed in hole 110 The polymer that 7 reactions generate;
Step S05, processing is performed etching to hole 110 by inert gas, to remove polymer and residual film layer, is formed Expose the via hole 11 of the first pattern 5 such as Fig. 6 (a) or as shown in Fig. 6 (b).
It should be noted that the first, first pattern 5 can for need in array substrate by via hole 11 on insulating layer with The arbitrary graphic pattern that other structures are in contact.
The second, in step S03, surface of the insulating layer 7 far from 5 side of the first pattern is referred to above insulating layer 7 and should The top on surface.
In addition, protection pattern 12 is etch-resistant layer, effect, which is such that in etching process, only etches unprotected pattern The region of 12 covering protections, i.e., the part 73 of via hole 11 to be formed on insulating layer 7.
Third, in step S04, as shown in Fig. 5 (a), when preset thickness=0, the bottom of hole 110 does not have residual film Layer, i.e. the bottom of hole 110 exposed the first pattern 5, at this point, hole 110 is that have etching gas and absolutely on side wall 110a Via hole 11 as shown in Fig. 6 (a) for the polymer that the reaction of edge layer 7 generates;It only needs to pass through inert gas in subsequent step S05 Via hole 11 as shown in Fig. 6 (a) can be obtained in polymer on etching removal 110 side wall 110a of hole.
As shown in Fig. 5 (b), when the thickness of 0 < preset thickness < insulating layer, the bottom 110b of hole 110 has default The residual film layer of thickness, at this point, the side wall 110a and bottom 110b (remaining the surface of film layer) of hole 110 all have etching gas Body reacts the polymer generated with insulating layer 7;It needs to etch by inert gas in removal hole 110 in subsequent step S05 Polymer and residual film layer.
4th, in step S04, at the part 73 of the via hole to be formed on etching insulating layer 7, if directlyed adopt lazy Property gas perform etching, due to inert gas carry out etching there is only the bombardments on the direction perpendicular to underlay substrate, do not have There is the effect of side etch, then will lead to the via hole 11 to be formed with steeper side wall, be unfavorable for subsequent needs and the first pattern Formation of other pattern layers being in contact in via hole 11.
5th, in step S05, processing is performed etching to hole 110 by inert gas, by foregoing description it is found that by In the etching carried out by inert gas, there is only the bombardments on the direction perpendicular to underlay substrate, therefore, will not be in via hole Generate new polymer.
Based on this, the above-mentioned production method provided through the embodiment of the present invention, due to during etching insulating layer 7, It is performed etching first with etching gas, then in the final stage of etching, i.e., when the residual film layer of the bottom of hole 110 reaches When preset thickness, it is adjusted to perform etching processing to hole 110 using inert gas, it is anti-to remove etching gas and insulating layer 7 The polymer and residual film layer that should be generated, form via hole 11, subsequent second pattern to be formed passes through via hole 11 and the first pattern 5 It is in contact, the electrical communication of first pattern and the second pattern is influenced so as to avoid the polymer formed in via hole 11.
For example, when the second pattern is pixel electrode, the above method can avoid being formed in via hole 11 when the first pattern is drain electrode Polymer influence being electrically connected for pixel electrode and drain electrode, improve process rate.
Preferably, in step S05 inert gas bombarding energy be greater than step S04 in etching gas bombarding energy.
The inert gas plasma of high-speed motion is allowed more fully to bombard the polymer in hole 110 in this way With residual film layer, make the more thorough of its removal that is etched, to expose the upper surface of the first pattern 5 of bottom, forms via hole 11。
Exemplary, the bombarding energy that the bombarding energy of above-mentioned inert gas is greater than etching gas can specifically pass through following sides Formula is realized:
Increase the automatic bias of etching apparatus when executing step S05 compared to step S04.
Such as when the etching apparatus used is ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma, inductively coupled plasma Body) etching apparatus when, when executing step S04, set 15W for automatic bias (lower electrode power);Executing step S05 When, automatic bias (lower electrode power) is increased into 60W.
When executing step S05, the automatic bias for increasing etching apparatus can make inert gas plasma by bigger Automatic bias, make its on the direction perpendicular to underlay substrate have higher kinergety, so as to the indifferent gas of high-speed motion Bulk plasmon can more fully bombard polymer and residual film layer in hole 110, form via hole 11.
Further, when using ICP etching apparatus as etching apparatus, when executing step S05, upper part can also be increased Electrode power and/or the flow for increasing inert gas.For example, being by upper electrode power setting when executing step S04 800W, and/or 120/20sccm (standard milliliters/per minute) are set by etching gas flow;It, will when executing step S05 Upper electrode power increases to 1000W, and/or inert gas flow is increased to 150sccm.
When executing step S05, increases the upper electrode power of ICP etching apparatus and/or increase the flow of inert gas More ionized inert gas can be made at inert gas plasma, so that more inert gas plasmas Body bombards polymer and residual film layer in hole 110, forms via hole 11.
It is exemplary, it since the ionization potential of argon gas (Ar) is lower, is easier to be ionized into plasma, so above-mentioned inert gas Usually select Ar gas.
Since the effect of insulating layer 7 is the first pattern 5 of protection, for example, avoiding the surface of the first pattern 5 in subsequent technique In be oxidized, the insulating materials such as inoxidizability stronger nitride, oxide, nitrogen oxides when compact structure, high temperature can be selected.
The material of insulating layer 7 usually selects silica or silica and silicon nitride.
When insulating layer 7 only includes silicon dioxide insulating layer, according to the property of earth silicon material, carbon fluorine gas is usually selected Body and oxygen etching silicon dioxide insulating layer.For ease of description, carbon fluorine gas and oxygen are referred to as the first etching gas below. The rate of first etching gas etching silicon dioxide insulating layer is more slow, and the via hole 11 eventually formed can be made to have more Gentle side wall, in order to which subsequent pattern layer to be formed is formed in via hole 11.
Correspondingly, above-mentioned steps S04 specifically:
By the part 73 corresponding to via hole 11 to be formed on above-mentioned first etching gas etching silicon dioxide insulating layer, Form the hole 110 as shown in Fig. 5 (a) or Fig. 5 (b);Wherein, there is preset thickness (to mark in Fig. 5 (b) for the bottom of hole 110 For residual film layer d);The thickness of 0≤preset thickness < silicon dioxide insulating layer (label is in Fig. 5 (b)).
Above-mentioned first etching gas is reacted with silicon dioxide insulating layer generates fluorocarbon polymer, which is attached to In hole 110.
That is, fluorocarbon polymer is attached to the side wall 110a and bottom 110b of hole 110 when residual thicknesses of layers is not zero On (remaining the surface of film layer);
When preset thickness=0, which is only attached on 110 side wall 110a of hole.
For the ease of more fully understanding the embodiment of the present application, the generating process of fluorocarbon polymer is illustrated below:
Carbon fluorine (CF4, C4F8, CHF3Deng) plasma often be used to etching SiO2, Si and other associated materials.CF4? The CF of ionic state is resolved under plasmoid2With active F base, reaction equation (1) is seen, wherein CF2It can be with SiO2(or Si) table Face reaction, forms (CF2)nHigh molecular polymer that is to say fluorocarbon polymer, see reaction equation (2).Reaction equation is as follows:
CF4→2F↑+CF2↑;Reaction equation (1)
nCF2↑→(CF2)n;Reaction equation ((2)
CF4CF, CF in plasma2Collision of the equal groups mainly from electronics to source gas, and in C4F8Middle CF is main From electronics to CF2Collisional decomposition.
CF4Etch SiO2Process be generally divided into three phases: be fluorocarbon film first in SiO2It is heavy on surface of insulating layer Product process is then that fluorocarbon film grows repressed process, is then finally SiO2The process that insulating layer is etched, that is to say: Fluorocarbon polymer deposition is in SiO2Surface.CF from fluorocarbon filmxGroup and SiO2Reaction generates SiFxCO2, then in F original SiF is resolved under son or ion bombardmentx.So fluorocarbon polymer is to SiO2The influence of etching is very big.
Further, as shown in fig. 7, insulating layer 7 can also include the silicon nitride being arranged on silicon dioxide insulating layer 71 Insulating layer 72.
Since silicon nitride material has better waterproofness and anti-permeability relative to earth silicon material, so that system The array substrate made has better waterproofness and anti-permeability.
According to the property of silicon nitride material, sulphur fluorine gas (such as SF is usually selected6) and oxygen etch silicon nitride insulating layer 72。
For ease of description, sulphur fluorine gas and oxygen are referred to as the second etching gas below.Second etching gas etches nitrogen The rate of SiClx insulating layer 72 is more slow, and the via hole 11 eventually formed can be made to have more gentle side wall, in order to Subsequent pattern layer to be formed is formed in via hole 11.
Correspondingly, with reference to shown in Fig. 7~Fig. 9, the specific steps of above-mentioned steps S04 include:
Step S041, pass through the portion corresponding to via hole 11 to be formed on the second etching gas etch silicon nitride insulating layer 72 Divide 73, forms the second hole 111 of exposing silicon dioxide insulating layer 71 as shown in Figure 8;
Step S042, by corresponding to via hole 11 to be formed on the first etching gas etching silicon dioxide insulating layer 71 Part, as shown in figure 9, forming the first hole 112 (dotted line L on silicon dioxide insulating layer 71 in Fig. 92The position of lower section).
In the process, the first etching gas continues the side wall of laterally etched silicon nitride dielectric layer 72, generates it to four The retraction in week.First hole 111 (dotted line L in Fig. 91And L2Between position) position correspond to the second hole 112, that is, first Hole 111 and the second hole 112 collectively form hole 110.
It should be noted that in above-mentioned etching process, due to the speed of the first etching gas etch silicon nitride insulating layer 72 Rate is very fast, if it is steeper to will result in via sidewall by the first etching gas etch silicon nitride insulating layer 72, thus after influencing Continue the second pattern to be formed and the contact of the first pattern 5, for example, making the pixel electrode being subsequently formed and the overlap joint of drain electrode not It is good;It is difficult etching silicon dioxide insulating layer 71 because of the second etching gas again, so individual first etching gas of selection or the Two etching gas perform etching silicon nitride dielectric layer 72 and the effect of silicon dioxide insulating layer 71 is all not fully up to expectations.So first The second etching gas etch silicon nitride insulating layer 72 is first passed through, the first etching gas etching silicon dioxide insulating layer is then passed through 71, i.e. the insulating layer of different materials performs etching processing using different etching gas
In conjunction with shown in Fig. 6 (a) and Figure 10 (a), after the step of forming via hole 11 for exposing the first pattern 5, the array The production method of substrate further include:
Step S06, removal protection pattern 12;
Step S07, the second pattern 10 is formed above insulating layer 7;Second pattern 10 passes through via hole 11 and the first pattern 10 It is in contact.
Specifically, the material of protection pattern 12 can be Other substrate materials.The photoresist can be removed using stripping technology Protect pattern.
Here, above-mentioned second pattern 10 can include but is not limited to the pattern of pixel electrode, the embodiment of the present invention to this not It limits, can be adjusted flexibly according to the design requirement of array substrate to be formed.
