Description

TFT substrate and preparation method thereof, display panel and display device
Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to display technologies, and particularly to a TFT substrate, a method for manufacturing the TFT substrate, a display panel and a display device.
Background
With the development of Display technology, flat panel Display devices such as Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs) have advantages of high image quality, power saving, thin body, and wide application range, and thus are widely used in various consumer electronics products such as mobile phones, televisions, personal digital assistants, digital cameras, notebook computers, and desktop computers, and become the mainstream of Display devices. A Thin Film Transistor (TFT) is a main driving element in a display device such as an LCD, and is directly related to the development of a high-performance display device.
Currently, a common hybrid TFT includes a Low Temperature Poly-Silicon (LTPS) TFT and an Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide (IGZO) TFT. When the IGZO TFT adopts a top gate structure, a conductor process is required to be performed on a source/drain contact region to reduce contact resistance. The commonly used method of conductimerization is Ar Plasma bombardment, which creates oxygen vacancies at the surface of the IGZO, thereby increasing the conductivity of the IGZO. In order to perform Ar Plasma bombardment only on the source/drain contact region of IGZO, the gate insulating layer covering the source/drain contact region needs to be etched away to expose the source/drain contact region, which increases the complexity of the manufacturing process.
