The organic light emitting display includes a substrate, a thin film transistor provided on the substrate, an organic light emitting part provided on the thin film transistor, a first passivation layer provided on the organic light emitting part by a chemical vapor deposition process, and a hydrogen blocking layer provided on at least one surface of the first passivation layer by an atomic layer deposition process and including silicon nitride.

Description

Organic light emitting display and method of manufacturing the same
Technical Field
The present invention relates to an organic light emitting display and a method of fabricating the same, and more particularly, to an organic light emitting display provided with a passivation layer and a method of fabricating the same.
Background
An Organic Light Emitting Display (OLED) is a self-luminous display, and unlike a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), the OLED has the advantage of being light and thin because it does not require a separate light source. In addition, the organic light emitting display may be driven at a low voltage, and thus the organic light emitting display may have advantages in power consumption and also have excellent response speed (response speed), viewing angle (viewing angle), and contrast ratio (contrast ratio). Therefore, the organic light emitting display is actively being researched as a display of the next generation.
An encapsulation layer including a passivation layer to protect an organic light emitting portion from external environments such as moisture, physical impact, and foreign materials, which may be generated during a manufacturing process, is formed in an organic light emitting display.
According to the related art, the passivation layer of the organic light emitting display mainly uses a silicon oxide layer. However, when a silicon oxide layer is used as the passivation layer, the silicon oxide layer is changed by reaction with moisture in the atmosphere, resulting in a defect that the organic light emitting part is not sufficiently protected. In addition, in order to solve the above-mentioned defects, a method of using a silicon nitride layer as a passivation layer has been proposed. In this case, however, a large amount of hydrogen contained in the silicon nitride layer may permeate into the thin film transistor to increase a leakage current of the thin film transistor, thereby deteriorating electrical characteristics, such as a high threshold voltage.

Detailed Description
Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. This invention may, however, be embodied in various forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art. In the drawings, the size of layers and regions may be exaggerated for clarity. Like numbers refer to like elements throughout.
Fig. 1 is a drawing illustrating a structure of an organic light emitting display according to an exemplary embodiment, and fig. 2 is a drawing illustrating a structure of an organic light emitting display according to another exemplary embodiment.
Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the organic light emitting display 100 includes a substrate 110, a thin film transistor 120 provided on the substrate 110, an organic light emitting part 150 provided on the thin film transistor 120, a first passivation layer 160 provided on the organic light emitting part 150 and formed by a chemical vapor deposition process, and a hydrogen blocking layer 170 provided on at least one surface of the first passivation layer 160, wherein the hydrogen blocking layer 170 includes silicon nitride and is formed by an atomic layer deposition process. In addition, the organic light emitting display 100 may further include a particle blocking layer 180 provided on the first passivation layer 160 and a second passivation layer 190 provided on the particle blocking layer 180.
Here, the organic light emitting display 100 may be an emission-type organic light emitting display 100 in which light generated from the organic light emitting part 150 is transmitted to the top side of the substrate 110 on which the thin film transistor 120 is formed.
The substrate 110 supports various structures disposed on the substrate 110. Such a substrate 110 may be made of an insulating material and may include a flexible substrate having flexibility. For example, the substrate 110 may include a material having excellent heat resistance and heat resistance, such as Polyimide (PI), Polyetherimide (PEI), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), Polycarbonate (PC), polyethylene naphthalate (PAR), and Polyarylate (PAR).
The thin film transistor 120 is provided on the substrate 110. The thin film transistor 120 may include an active layer, a gate electrode, a source electrode, and a drain electrode. The thin film transistor 120 may have various structures such as a top gate structure, a bottom gate structure, and a coplanar structure. Although not shown, the organic light emitting display 100 may include various wirings made of the same material as the gate electrode, the source electrode, and the drain electrode.
Here, the thin film transistor 120 may be an oxide Thin Film Transistor (TFT) having an active layer including an oxide.
In the case of using a thin film transistor according to the related art, an active layer of the thin film transistor is amorphous silicon (a-Si). In the case of using amorphous silicon, the thin film may be grown at a low temperature to minimize the change of the insulating substrate, but amorphous silicon may have a very low mobility of charges.
Therefore, in recent years, there have been active attempts to use oxides, such as metal oxides, capable of performing all three of conductivity, semiconductivity and resistance characteristics according to the composition of the oxides. However, in the case of using an oxide thin film transistor having an active layer including an oxide, when hydrogen may permeate into the active layer, leakage of current may become large, and a threshold voltage may become high to deteriorate electrical characteristics.
In an exemplary embodiment, in the organic light emitting display driven by the oxide thin film transistor, a hydrogen blocking layer 170 for preventing hydrogen from penetrating into an active layer of the oxide thin film transistor may be disposed on at least one surface of the first passivation layer 160 to improve durability and reliability of the organic light emitting display device. Details of the hydrogen barrier layer 170 are described later.
An insulating layer 130 may be provided on the thin film transistor 120 to shield the source electrode, the drain electrode, and the active layer. The insulating layer 130 may be provided to protect the thin film transistor 120 from moisture or oxygen, and may be disposed on the entire surface of the substrate 110 to expose a portion of the drain electrode or the source electrode of the thin film transistor 120. In addition, a planarization layer 140 may be provided on the insulating layer 130. The planarization layer 140 may have a contact hole exposing a portion of the drain electrode or the source electrode.
The organic light emitting part 150 is provided on the thin film transistor 120. For example, when the insulating layer 130 and the planarization layer 140 are provided on the thin film transistor 120, the organic light emitting part 150 may be provided on the planarization layer 140. The organic light emitting part 150 may include an anode layer 152, an organic light emitting layer 154, and a cathode layer 156.
The anode layer 152 may be connected to a drain electrode or a source electrode of the thin film transistor 120 through a contact hole of the planarization layer 140, for example. The bank layer 158 may be disposed on each of both surfaces of the anode layer 152, and the bank layer 158 may have a tapered profile.
The organic light emitting layer 154 may be a layer body for generating light and may be made of an organic light emitting material for generating light. Here, the organic light emitting layer 154 may be provided by laminating organic light emitting material layers respectively emitting light having a plurality of colors. However, the organic light emitting layer 154 is not limited thereto and may be made of various materials capable of emitting light having various colors.
A cathode layer 156 is provided on the organic light emitting layer 154. Since the organic light emitting display may be the top emission type organic light emitting display 100, the cathode layer 156 may be made of Transparent Conductive Oxide (TCO) or a metal material having a very thin thickness and a low work function. When the cathode layer 156 is made of a metal material, the cathode layer 156 may have several hundred angstroms
Figure BDA0003564524370000061
Or less, and when the cathode layer 156 has such a thickness, the cathode layer 156 may be a substantially transparent layer.
A first passivation layer 160 is provided on the cathode layer 156. That is, the first passivation layer 160 may be provided on the organic light emitting part 150 to shield the organic light emitting part 150. The first passivation layer 160 serves to protect the organic light emitting part 150 from moisture or air, which may permeate from the outside, or physical impact.
The first passivation layer 160 may include at least one of silicon oxide (SiO), silicon nitride (SiN), or silicon oxynitride (SiON). The first passivation layer 160 may have about a Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) process by simultaneously supplying a source gas and a reaction gas

From (angstroms) to about

Of the substrate. For example, a source gas containing a hydrogen-based silicon-containing gas (hydrogen-based silicon-containing gas) and a nitrous oxide-containing gas (N) 2 O) may be simultaneously supplied to form the first passivation layer 160 containing silicon oxide, the source material gas containing the hydrido-silicon-containing gas, and the source material gas containing ammonia (NH) 3 ) May be simultaneously supplied to form the first passivation layer 160 containing silicon nitride, or may contain hydrogenSilicon-based source gas and nitrous oxide-containing gas (N) 2 O) and ammonia (NH) 3 ) May be simultaneously supplied to form the first passivation layer 160 comprising silicon oxynitride. Herein, the hydrogen silicon-containing gas may comprise Silane (SiH) gas 4 )。
A hydrogen barrier layer 170 is provided on at least one surface of the first passivation layer 160 to prevent hydrogen from permeating into the thin film transistor 120. Here, as shown in the exemplary embodiment illustrated in fig. 1, the hydrogen blocking layer 170 may be provided below the first passivation layer 160, i.e., between the organic light emitting part 150 and the first passivation layer 160, or as shown in another exemplary embodiment illustrated in fig. 2 to be described below, the hydrogen blocking layer 170 may be provided above the first passivation layer 160, i.e., between the first passivation layer 160 and the particle shielding layer 180 (PCL). Although the hydrogen blocking layer 170 is disposed on the bottom or top surface of the first passivation layer 160 in fig. 1 and 2, the hydrogen blocking layer 170 may be disposed on each of the top and bottom surfaces of the first passivation layer 160, and a separate layer body for performing additional functions may be further provided between the first passivation layer 160 and the hydrogen blocking layer 170.
The hydrogen barrier layer 170 may be formed by an atomic layer deposition process in which source gases and reaction gases are sequentially supplied. As described above, when the hydrogen blocking layer 170 is formed by the atomic layer deposition process, the density of the hydrogen blocking layer 170 may be increased to prevent hydrogen contained in a thin film (e.g., the particle shielding layer 180 or the second passivation layer 190) disposed on the hydrogen blocking layer 170 from permeating into the thin film transistor 120. Here, since the hydrogen barrier layer 170 formed by the atomic layer deposition process is deposited at a lower deposition rate than the first passivation layer 160 formed by the chemical vapor deposition process, the hydrogen barrier layer 170 may have a smaller thickness than the first passivation layer 160 to minimize a reduction in process speed.
The hydrogen barrier layer 170 may be formed by an atomic layer deposition process using a gas including at least one of an amino-based silicon-containing gas (amino-based silicon-containing gas) or a halide-based silicon-containing gas (halide-based silicon-containing gas) as a source gas and using a gas including at least one of a nitrogen-containing gas or a hydrogen-containing gas as a reaction gas. Herein, the amino-silicon-containing gas may include Trisilylamine (TSA) gas, bis (tertiary-butylamino) silane (bis, BTBAS) gas, bis (dimethylamino) silane (bis (dimethyllamino) silane, BDMAS) gas, bisdiethylaminosilane (bis (diethylamino) silane, BDEAS) gas, dimethylaminostilane (dimethylaminostorane, DMAS) gas, diethylamine silane (diethylamino, DEAS) gas, dipropylaminosilane (dipropylaminosilane, DPAS) gas, butylaminosilane (butyllaminosilane, BAS) gas, diisopropylamine silane (diisopropylamine, dipamide) gas, bis (ethylmethylamino) silane (bis, tetramethylaminosilane) gas, bis (dimethylamino) silane (bis, dichlorosilane) gas, wherein at least one of the trisilyl, dichlorosilane (dichlorosilane) gas, bis (dichlorosilane ) gas, or dichlorosilane (dichlorosilane) halide gas, wherein the bis (dimethylamino) silane (bis (dichlorosilane) gas may include at least one of the tris (chlorosilane, bis (dimethylamino) silane (dichlorosilane (bis (dichlorosilane, bis (dichlorosilane) gas, BTBAS) gas, and wherein the bis (dichlorosilane) gas may include at least one of the chloro-silane (chloro-silane) gas, bis (dichlorosilane (bis (chloro-chlorosilane, bis (dichlorosilane) gas, bis (dichlorosilane) gas, bis (dichlorosilane) gas, bis (dichlorosilane) gas, bis (dichlorosilane) gas, bis (dichlorosilane) gas, bis (dichlorosilane) gas, bdms) gas, bis (dichlorosilane, bdms) gas, bis (dichlorosilane, bis, At least one of Trichlorosilane (TCS) gas, tetrachlorosilane (STC) gas, Hexachlorodisilane (HCDS) gas, octachlorotris silane (OCTS) gas, or diiodosilane (diiodosilane) gas.
Silane gas (SiH) 4 ) Has a molecular structure in which four hydrogen atoms are chemically bonded to one silicon atom. Therefore, when supplying silane gas (SiH) 4 ) When the hydrogen barrier layer 170 is formed, the hydrogen barrier layer 170 may have a high hydrogen content, and thus a large amount of hydrogen contained in the hydrogen barrier layer 170 may permeate into the thin film transistor to deteriorate electrical characteristics, such as a large leakage current of the thin film transistor and a high threshold voltage. Further, silane gas (SiH) 4 ) Has low absorption property (low absorption property). That is, in order to form the first passivation layer 160 by the atomic layer deposition process, the source gas needs to be absorbed first, but the silane gas (SiH) 4 ) There may be defects in which it is difficult to form the first passivation layer 160 through the atomic layer deposition process due to its low absorption property. Thus, in one exemplary embodiment, silicon-containing amino groups may be usedAt least one of a gas and a halide-based silicon-containing gas is used as a source gas, and thus the hydrogen barrier layer 170 may have a dense structure in an atomic layer deposition process while having a hydrogen content equal to or less than about 20 atomic percent (at%), such as about 10 at% to about 15 at%, relative to the overall content of the hydrogen barrier layer 170, and also having a lower hydrogen content than each of the particle shielding layer 180 and the second passivation layer 190 described below.
A particle blocking layer 180 is provided on the first passivation layer 160. Herein, when the hydrogen blocking layer 170 is provided under the first passivation layer 160 as shown in one exemplary embodiment, the particle-shielding layer 180 may be provided to shield the first passivation layer 160, and when the hydrogen blocking layer 170 is provided over the first passivation layer 160 as shown in another exemplary embodiment, the particle-shielding layer 180 may be provided to shield the hydrogen blocking layer 170.
When the particles are present on the organic light emitting portion 150, the particle-shielding layer 180 as a whole serves to shield the particles to planarize the top surface. The particle shielding layer 180 may be made of various materials, such as organic materials, e.g., carbon compounds, but not limited thereto. The hydrogen content of the particle-shielding layer 180 made of an organic material is greater than that of the hydrogen barrier layer 170, and the hydrogen barrier layer 170 may prevent hydrogen from permeating from the particle-shielding layer 180 having a high hydrogen content to the thin film transistor 120.
Here, the thickness of the particle blocking layer 180 may be greater than the thickness of each of the first passivation layer 160 and a second passivation layer 190, which will be described below. The particle-shielding layer 180 may have a sufficient thickness to reliably shield particles when the particles are introduced during the manufacturing process. Here, the thickness of the particle blocking layer 180 may be greater than the thickness of each of the first passivation layer 160 and the second passivation layer 190.
A second passivation layer 190 may be provided on the particle-shielding layer 180 to shield the particle-shielding layer 180. The second passivation layer 190 may also serve to protect the organic light emitting part 150 from moisture, air, or physical impact that may permeate from the outside, and each of the first passivation layer 160, the particle blocking layer 180, and the second passivation layer 190 provided to block the organic light emitting part 150 may serve as an encapsulation layer of the organic light emitting display 100.
The second passivation layer 190 may include at least one of silicon oxide (SiO), silicon nitride (SiN), or silicon oxynitride (SiON). Here, by simultaneously supplying a source material gas containing a hydrogen-based silicon-containing gas and a nitrous oxide-containing gas (N) 2 O) or ammonia (NH) 3 ) The second passivation layer 190 may also have a thickness of about one of the first passivation layer and the second passivation layer
Figure BDA0003564524370000091
To about
Figure BDA0003564524370000092
Various thicknesses within the range of (a). As described above, the second passivation layer 190 and the first passivation layer 160 may be made of different materials. In this case, the material of the second passivation layer 190, which is different from the material of the first passivation layer 160, may be determined according to the function of the second passivation layer 190. Since the second passivation layer 190 is not directly in contact with the organic light emitting portion 150 and is disposed outside the organic light emitting display 100, a function somewhat different from that of the first passivation layer 160 (e.g., a function of mainly blocking moisture from being introduced into the organic light emitting display 100 from the outside) may be performed, and thus a material forming the second passivation layer 190 may be determined. In addition, the material or thickness of the second passivation layer 190 may be determined such that delamination (delamination) or cracking (cracking) of the second passivation layer 190 is minimized at the edge region of the substrate 110.
As described above, the hydrogen content of the second passivation layer 190 formed by the chemical vapor deposition process using the source gas containing the hydrogen-based silicon-containing gas may also be greater than that of the hydrogen barrier layer 170, and thus the hydrogen barrier layer 170 may prevent hydrogen from permeating into the thin film transistor 120 from the second passivation layer 190 having a high hydrogen content.
