Detailed Description
The technical solution in the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. It should be apparent that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be obtained by a person skilled in the art without making any inventive step based on the embodiments in the present application, are within the scope of protection of the present application.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart illustrating a method for manufacturing a thin film transistor according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 1, a method for manufacturing a thin film transistor provided in an embodiment of the present application includes the following steps: 101. providing a substrate, and sequentially forming a buffer layer and a conductive channel pattern on the substrate; 102. forming a first silicon oxide layer on the conductive channel pattern and the substrate, and carrying out plasma in-situ treatment on the first silicon oxide layer to form a first silicon oxynitride layer; 103. forming a gate metal layer on the first silicon oxynitride layer, and etching the gate metal layer and the first silicon oxynitride layer to form a gate pattern and a gate insulation layer pattern; 104. forming an insulating layer on the gate pattern, the gate insulating layer pattern, the conductive channel pattern, and the substrate, and forming a first via hole and a second via hole on the insulating layer; 105. and forming a source electrode pattern and a drain electrode pattern on the insulating layer, wherein the source electrode pattern is connected with the conductive channel pattern through the first through hole, and the drain electrode pattern is connected with the conductive channel pattern through the second through hole.
It can be understood that, the gate electrode is generally made of a metal material, wherein, the copper metal material is used most, the adhesion property between the insulating layer and the gate electrode is mainly reflected in the contact property between the insulating layer material and the gate electrode material, and because the insulating layer material and the gate electrode material generate a stress mismatch problem during the thermal deposition process, if the difference between the adhesion forces between the insulating layer material and the gate electrode material is large, the gate electrode material with a large area will fall off, thereby causing the damage and failure of the process structure; the upper and lower interfaces of the gate insulating layer pattern are made of SiON material, the gate insulating layer is in contact with the gate electrode, and the SiON material is in contact with the currently used SiO 2 Compared with the material, the adhesion property between the SiON material and the metal material is higher than that of SiO 2 Adhesion properties between materials and metal materials.
It is understood that the conductive channel layer serves as a core of the thin film transistor device, and the interface characteristics between the material of the conductive channel layer and the material of the insulating layer may affect the carrier transport during the carrier transport process, because the carrier transport channel is formed at the interface where the conductive channel layer contacts the gate insulating layer, which is formed of SiON material at the interface where the gate insulating layer contacts the conductive channel layer, and SiO during the forward bias application process 2 SiON materials have higher dielectric constants than materials, and therefore, the gate insulating layer is in contact with the conductive channel layerThe interface has lower interface state concentration, namely lower defect concentration, and the high defect concentration can generate defect scattering in the carrier transmission process to reduce the mobility, and in addition, the high defect density can reduce the subthreshold swing of the thin film transistor device and influence the switching characteristic of the thin film transistor device.
It can be understood that hydrogen content in the adjacent dielectric layer of the conductive channel layer also affects parameters such as threshold voltage, mobility and reliability of the thin film transistor, so that a chemical deposition method which is basically adopted for forming a SiNO material in the prior art and has low hydrogen content is required to be selected, the SiNO material is formed by plasma in-situ treatment, and the specific method is to firstly form a SiO material by adopting the chemical deposition method 2 Film of material, then treating the SiO with a plasma gas containing nitrogen 2 Film of material, thereby making SiO 2 The material is converted to a SiNO material. SiH is generally used when chemical deposition is used to form SiNO material 4 +NH 3 The reaction gas of (1); formation of SiO by chemical deposition 2 As the material, siH is generally used 4 +N 2 A reactant gas of O; in-situ processing of SiO by plasma 2 In the process of converting the material into the SiNO material, plasma gas containing nitrogen element is adopted, and the plasma gas is generally N 2 O and N 2 At least one of (1). Therefore, compared with the SiNO material prepared by a chemical deposition method, the SiNO material prepared by the method has the advantages that the incorporation amount of hydrogen elements is not high, and the premise that the insulating dielectric layer material has low hydrogen elements can be met.
Specifically, please refer to fig. 1 and fig. 2, wherein fig. 2 is a first sub-flow diagram of a method for manufacturing a thin film transistor according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, step 102 specifically includes: 1021. forming a first silicon oxide layer on the conductive channel pattern and the substrate; 1022. adjusting the impact force and the gas flow of the plasma gas; 1023. and adopting plasma gas to impact the surface of the first silicon oxide layer, so that the surface of the first silicon oxide layer close to one side of the conductive channel pattern and the surface of the first silicon oxide layer close to one side of the gate metal pattern are both nitrided to form a first silicon oxynitride layer.
Wherein the plasma gas comprises N 2 O and N 2 Of course using another gas such as NH 3 Can also make SiO 2 Conversion of material to SiNO but using N 2 O and N 2 By contrast, with NH 3 The SiNO material produced as a plasma gas has a high hydrogen content. So this application is to use N 2 O and N 2 By using SiO as plasma gas 2 The material is converted into the SiNO material, and in the processing process, factors influencing the content of hydrogen elements in the SiNO material further comprise the impact strength, the gas flow and the impact time of plasma gas, so that the impact strength, the gas flow and the impact time of the plasma gas are accurately controlled, and the hydrogen content in the formed SiNO material is enabled to be the lowest.
In one embodiment, the first silicon oxynitride layer has a thickness of 50 to 100 angstroms and covers the conductive channel layer.
Specifically, please refer to fig. 1 and fig. 3, and fig. 3 is a second sub-flow diagram of a method for manufacturing a thin film transistor according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 1 and fig. 3, step 103 specifically includes: 1031. forming a grid metal layer on the first silicon oxynitride layer; 1032. and performing a wet etching process on the gate metal layer by using a photomask as a mask to form the gate metal layer pattern 1033, and performing a dry etching process on the gate insulating layer by using the photomask as a mask to form the gate insulating layer pattern.
As can be understood, because the gate insulating layer pattern and the gate metal layer pattern are formed by using the same photomask, wherein the photomask comprises a light-transmitting region and light-shielding regions located at two sides of the light-transmitting region, an orthographic projection of the light-transmitting region on the substrate coincides with an orthographic projection of the gate insulating layer pattern on the substrate, and an orthographic projection of the light-transmitting region on the substrate coincides with an orthographic projection of the gate metal layer pattern on the substrate.
Further, referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is another schematic flow chart of a method for manufacturing a thin film transistor according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and as shown in fig. 5, the method for manufacturing a thin film transistor according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes the following steps: 201. providing a substrate, and sequentially forming a buffer layer and a conductive channel pattern on the substrate; 202. forming a first silicon oxide layer on the conductive channel pattern and the substrate, and carrying out plasma in-situ treatment on the first silicon oxide layer to form a first silicon oxynitride layer; 203. forming a second silicon dioxide layer on the first silicon oxynitride layer, and carrying out plasma in-situ treatment on the second silicon dioxide layer so as to sequentially form a silicon oxide layer and a second silicon oxynitride layer on the first silicon oxynitride layer; 204. forming a grid metal layer on the second silicon oxynitride layer, and etching the grid metal layer, the second silicon oxynitride layer, the silicon oxide layer and the first silicon oxynitride layer to form a grid pattern and a grid insulation layer pattern with a three-layer structure; 205. forming an insulating layer on the gate pattern, the gate insulating layer pattern, the conductive channel pattern, and the substrate, and forming a first via hole and a second via hole on the insulating layer; 206. and forming a source electrode pattern and a drain electrode pattern on the insulating layer, wherein the source electrode pattern is connected with the conductive channel pattern through the first through hole, and the drain electrode pattern is connected with the conductive channel pattern through the second through hole.
Specifically, please refer to fig. 1 and 5, wherein fig. 5 is a third sub-flow diagram of a method for manufacturing a thin film transistor according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 1 and fig. 3, step 203 specifically includes: 2031. forming a second silicon oxide layer on the first silicon oxynitride layer; 2032. adjusting the environmental temperature, the impact force degree of the plasma gas and the gas flow; 2033. adopting plasma gas to impact the surface of the second silicon dioxide layer; 2034. and after keeping the preset time, sequentially forming a silicon oxide layer and a second silicon oxynitride layer with a preset thickness on the first silicon oxynitride layer.
Wherein, the thickness of the first silicon oxynitride layer is 50-100 angstroms, the thickness of the silicon oxide layer is 0-1450 angstroms, and the thickness of the second silicon oxynitride layer is 50-100 angstroms. It is understood that the thickness of the second silicon oxynitride layer formed can be controlled by the process parameters of the ambient temperature, the impact force of the plasma gas, and the impact time.
Further, referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a schematic structural diagram of a thin film transistor according to an embodiment of the present disclosure when a gate insulating layer pattern and a gate metal layer pattern are formed. As shown in fig. 6, the thin film transistor according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a substrate 301, a buffer layer 302, a conductive channel pattern 303, a gate insulating layer pattern 304, and a gate metal layer pattern 305.
The buffer layer 302 is disposed on the substrate 301, the conductive channel pattern 303 is disposed on the buffer layer 302, the gate insulating layer pattern 304 is disposed on the conductive channel pattern 303, the gate metal layer pattern 304 is a three-layer stacked structure, the gate metal layer pattern 304 includes a first silicon oxynitride layer pattern 3041, a silicon oxide layer pattern 3042, and a second silicon oxynitride layer pattern 3043, which are sequentially stacked, and the gate metal layer pattern 305 is disposed on the gate insulating layer pattern 304.
Here, it can be understood that there is a difference between the actually formed gate metal layer pattern 305 and the gate insulating layer pattern 304, and the gate metal layer pattern 305 is smaller than the gate insulating layer pattern 304. Although the gate metal layer pattern 305 and the gate insulating layer pattern 304 are formed under the same photoresist mask condition using the same mask, different processing methods are used, the method for forming the gate metal layer pattern 305 is wet etching, and the method for forming the gate insulating layer pattern 304 is dry plasma etching, because the lateral etching rate of the wet etching is not much different from the lateral etching rate under the same photoresist mask condition, the wet etching results in a larger pattern size loss due to its isotropic property compared with the dry plasma etching, so that the finally formed gate metal layer pattern 305 is smaller than the gate insulating layer pattern 304.
In one embodiment, after the gate metal layer pattern 305 is formed, the conductive channel pattern 303, which is not protected by the gate insulating layer pattern 304, may be further processed to form N + conductor regions for connection with the source and drain electrodes; the N + conductor region is formed by plasma bombardment, and more particularly, by physically bombarding the conductive channel pattern 303, which is not protected by the gate insulating layer pattern 304, with an inert gas, which is generally helium, as a process gas. The conductive channel pattern 303 protected by the gate insulating layer pattern 304 is not processed as a thin film transistor channel.
In the preparation method of the thin film transistor, the silicon oxide material is converted into the silicon oxynitride material by adopting the plasma in-situ treatment technology, so that the upper and lower interfaces of the gate insulating layer in contact with the conductive channel layer and the gate metal layer are both the silicon oxynitride material with low hydrogen content, and the technical problem of improving the dielectric constant of the insulating dielectric layer material and the interface characteristic of the insulating dielectric layer material and the metal material on the premise of meeting the requirement that the insulating dielectric layer material has low hydrogen content is solved.
