Description

The manufacture method of polycrystalline SiTFT
Technical field
The invention relates to a kind of manufacture method of polycrystalline SiTFT, and particularly a kind of polysilicon membrane manufacture method with super horizontal long Jingjing grain of regular distribution, in the manufacturing that is applied to the large tracts of land TFT thin film transistor monitor.
Background technology
Polysilicon (poly-silicon) is because of having the electrical characteristic that is better than amorphous silicon, and the cost advantage that is lower than monocrystalline silicon, thereby on the film crystal pipe manufacturer, extensively paid attention in recent years, especially drive in the application of LCD (TFT-LCD) at thin-film transistor.
Yet, the particle diameter of polysilicon crystal (grain size) size directly has very big influence for electron mobility (mobility) and component characteristic, therefore, how to increase the crystallization size of microcrystal of polysilicon, to promote the lifting of thin-film transistor component characteristic, be exactly considerable development trend in the polysilicon membrane manufacturing technology now.With the display technology is example, makes dynamical thin-film transistor, to develop more high performance flat-panel screens, is exactly the pointer of display technology development at present.
To make the method for polysilicon membrane be solid phase crystallization method (Solid PhaseCrystallization) to tradition in the past, yet because the highest bearing temperature of glass substrate has only 650 ℃ approximately, so kind method and be not suitable for flat-panel screens and make.In addition, the method that also has direct vapour deposition polysilicon membrane.No matter but be above-mentioned solid phase crystallization method the or directly crystal grain of the formed polysilicon of vapour deposition process is all quite little, particle diameter has only 100nm approximately, and is therefore not good with the formed polysilicon membrane characteristic of these methods.
In the making of polysilicon membrane, that the most generally use is excimer laser tempering (Excimer Laser Anneal at present; ELA) technology is though getable polysilicon grain particle diameter Yue Keda 600nm still is apparent not enough for developing more high performance flat-panel screens.Simultaneously, general existing excimer laser tempering technology all must improve the unstable shortcoming of laser energy skewness and energy output by the radiation modality of high-repetition-rate, produces with the phenomenon that reduces the size of microcrystal skewness.
Wherein, size of microcrystal problem of uneven distribution, direct electrical uniformity and the critical voltage of inter-module or the consistency of the subcritical value of swinging of infringement assembly, and the making quality when influencing display towards the large tracts of land development.In addition, the excimer laser tempering manufacturing process of high-repetition-rate irradiation also can cause the raising of cost of manufacture and productivity ratio to reduce, thereby be unfavorable for the batch process of large tracts of land display more.
Summary of the invention
One of purpose of the present invention is that a kind of manufacture method of polycrystalline SiTFT is being provided, the polysilicon membrane that has super horizontal long Jingjing grain with formation, and the polysilicon grain that forms also has the uniform characteristic of queueing discipline and particle size distribution simultaneously, thereby the thin-film transistor electrical quality of producing is significantly improved.The present invention utilizes the formation of amorphous silicon silicon island figure, and cooperates selecting for use of single-shot Long Pulse LASER bundle, to bring out the brilliant behavior of super horizontal length takes place in the amorphous silicon silicon island, and produces polysilicon membrane.
According to above-mentioned purpose, the present invention proposes a kind of manufacture method of polycrystalline SiTFT.According to preferred embodiment of the present invention is to form an amorphous silicon layer earlier on substrate, then, amorphous silicon layer is carried out patterning, makes to form amorphous silicon silicon island figure on substrate, to define the assembly active area.Wherein, the material of substrate is for example to be glass.Then, utilize single-shot Long Pulse LASER bundle, irradiation amorphous silicon silicon island figure makes to bring out to produce the brilliant behavior of super horizontal length in the figure of amorphous silicon silicon island, so amorphous silicon promptly changes polysilicon into.
Above-mentioned amorphous silicon silicon island figure is for example to be a long strip type structure, after amorphous silicon silicon island figure forms molten state by LASER HEATING, will be then by the long side position of silicon island figure, cool off toward the silicon island central interior gradually, so, crystallization behavior in the figure of amorphous silicon silicon island just for crystallizing into epipole by producing earlier on the long side of amorphous silicon silicon island figure, carries out laterally long brilliant then gradually toward the inside of this silicon island figure.So, promptly form polysilicon membrane, and polysilicon grain also presents the arrangement of rule with super horizontal long Jingjing grain.
Light source as for single-shot Long Pulse LASER bundle is an excimer laser of for example using chlorination xenon (XeCl) ultraviolet source, simultaneously, the laser beam of also selecting about 100~200ns of burst length for use is as the Long Pulse LASER bundle, so that significantly increase the heating time of amorphous silicon, and the time of prolongation amorphous silicon fusion-crystallization, and then impel crystal grain-growth.
In addition, before above-mentioned amorphous silicon layer forms, also can form a resilient coating earlier on substrate, with isolated substrate itself to establishment of component the pollution that may cause, and, make after the amorphous silicon silicon island changes polysilicon in LASER HEATING, can then carry out general thin-film transistor and make flow process, to finish complete thin-film transistor component manufacturing; For example, the formation of gate pole oxidation layer, the making of gate metal, ion implantation step, dielectric layer form, contact window defines and source/steps such as drain metal making.
In addition, have channel region, source area and drain area in the silicon island figure in order to the definitions component active area, the silicon island figure that belongs to channel region then for example can be single long strip type structure or a plurality of strip structure.Wherein, if have the channel region of a plurality of strip structures, promptly be represented as the design of multiple channel kenel, and, the minor face of each the long strip type structure that is connected with source area or drain area all must be less than the twice of the brilliant length of horizontal length of the brilliant behavior of the super horizontal length of polysilicon, so, the brilliant behavior of horizontal length of the polysilicon in can regular control channel district, and obtain particle size distribution very evenly and crystal grain arrange the quite polysilicon of rule.
Production method according to the polycrystalline SiTFT of the invention described above, be with general assembly active region definition step, before carrying out, finishes the LASER HEATING processing procedure in advance, therefore, when carrying out laser radiation, nature produces the different temperature province of heat radiation situation and distributes in the structure of silicon island, and is controlled crystal grain nucleation site and crystal grain-growth direction, and impels the brilliant behavior of horizontal length to take place.Simultaneously, because the use of Long Pulse LASER bundle can impel more thermal energy to be passed on the material of amorphous silicon below, thereby not only can prolong the crystal grain-growth time, and, also be able to and then improve laser energy be distributed in uniformity in the crystal silicon layer.So, the particle diameter that more helps to promote the crystal silicon layer crystallization behavior is significantly grown up, in addition, also can reduce the phenomenon of laser energy transmission and skewness, and promote the homogeneity of crystal silicon layer crystallization behavior, to form the polysilicon membrane that crystal grain is evenly distributed.So the present invention only need use the single-shot laser beam, can reach good laser crystallization effect, so, will exempt the demand of laser beam palpus reirradiation, and effectively reduce cost of manufacture, and then help the batch process development of large tracts of land display.
In addition, if in the laser crystallization processing procedure, adopt general short pulse laser beam, not only can't bring out crystal silicon layer and produce the good brilliant behavior of horizontal length, even can cause the variations in temperature that takes place in the figure of silicon island rapidly, and the phenomenon of contraction distortion appears, so that influences the dimension definitions of assembly active area, and then destroys the quality that the subsequent thin film transistor component makes and the electrical performance of product.Therefore, the present invention proposes the employing of Long Pulse LASER bundle especially, also have can make the laser crystallization processing procedure after, the silicon island figure is still kept good purpose.
So, adopt method of the present invention, need not change or influence the conditioned disjunction number that general polycrystalline SiTFT is made flow process, can make the good polycrystalline SiTFT assembly of electrical quality.Even, channel architecture can be designed to the kenel of multiple channel, by the control of each channel width, make promote more that polysilicon grain particle diameter and crystal grain arranges all once.Therefore, if the manufacture method of polycrystalline SiTFT of the present invention is applied in the manufacturing of display product, the subassembly product of high-performance, high additive value be must help to produce, simultaneously, the development and the batch process of display large tracts of landization also very helped.

Embodiment 1:
The invention discloses a kind of manufacture method of polycrystalline SiTFT, cooperation is with reference to shown in Fig. 1, Fig. 2 A and Fig. 2 B, wherein, Fig. 1 is the flow chart of steps according to a kind of polycrystalline SiTFT manufacture method of the present invention's first preferred embodiment, Fig. 2 A then is the part flow process generalized section of making according to a kind of polycrystalline SiTFT of the present invention's first preferred embodiment, then is to amplify schematic top plan view according to the crystalline texture in a kind of polycrystalline SiTFT of the present invention's first preferred embodiment as for Fig. 2 B.
At first, the amorphous silicon layer that carries out among Fig. 1 forms step 111, then, amorphous silicon layer is carried out the patterning step 112 of definitions component active area, to form amorphous silicon silicon island figure; Cooperation is and forms amorphous silicon silicon island 202 on substrate 200 with reference to Fig. 2 A.Wherein, substrate 200 for example is a glass material, and the manufacture method of amorphous silicon silicon island 202 is for example to adopt plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Phase Deposition earlier; PECVD) or physical vapour deposition (PVD) (Physical Vapor Deposition; PVD) technology forms amorphous silicon layer, and then with traditional gold-tinted etch process, amorphous silicon layer is carried out the patterning step of definitions component active area, to finish the making of amorphous silicon silicon island 202.In addition, can after amorphous silicon layer forms, carry out a dehydrogenation step, the quick-fried phenomenon of hydrogen can not occur in order to follow-up laser processing procedure.

With reference to Fig. 5 A, Fig. 5 A amplifies schematic top plan view according to the assembly active area of a kind of polycrystalline SiTFT of the present invention's second preferred embodiment in addition.Shown in Fig. 5 A, the direction of polysilicon crystal, be that the long side that presents by silicon island 503 carries out the side direction growth toward central interior, thereby, crystal grain in assembly channel region (channel region) 503c is arranged quite rule, and, add that present embodiment is used the laser beam of long pulse, so particle size distribution is also very even.So, but just homogeneous control carrier (carrier) the channel region 503c that flows through, and when being to and between source area 503s and the drain area 503d, the required crystal boundary 503b number that passes through, and then effectively improve the electrical performance of assembly.
In addition, if when channel width W (silicon island minor face) occurring, when obviously laterally growing up the situation of length g, will influence the effect of the above-mentioned super horizontal growth of crystal grain, shown in Fig. 5 B greater than polysilicon grain.In Fig. 5 B, because channel width W is obviously greater than the crystal grain length g that laterally grows up, therefore, the polysilicon grain that produces in the channel region 503c is only on the long side of silicon island, single time super horizontal growth behavior occurs,, form pycnomorphous small grains (fine grains) district 503a then promptly gradually towards channel inside, cause in silicon island 503, to form the super horizontal growth structure of good polysilicon, even reduce the systematicness of crystal grain arrangement and the uniformity of particle size distribution simultaneously.
For the bad crystalline polamer that prevents to be occurred as among above-mentioned Fig. 5 B, the present invention even also propose the geometry of channel region 503c to be designed to the kenel of multiple channel (multi-channel) is to replace original single channel structure, shown in Fig. 5 C.
In Fig. 5 C, be depicted as the assembly active area schematic top plan view of a pair of channel architecture design, wherein, the first channel region 503c and second channel district 503c ' have independently channel width W1 and channel width W2 separately, if channel width W1 is added that channel width W2 is the overall channel width W of actual component.In addition, no matter be that channel width W1 or channel width W2 all are designed to less than the crystal grain of twice laterally grow up length g (that is W1, W2<2g).
Because the channel width of each channel is designed to less than the crystal grain of the twice length g that laterally grows up, so, the inside of each channel, with well controlled one-tenth only by two row super horizontal long Jingjing grains complete being covered with of queueing discipline, so, just can have particle size distribution evenly and the polysilicon membrane channel of crystal grain queueing discipline, and then impel carrier in channel, to pass through the crystal boundary 503b number of quantity homogeneous, with the uniformity of effective lifting subassembly electrical performance, make the batch process development of the display that helps large tracts of landization.
Certainly, Fig. 5 C is the illustration model just at one stroke, and the structural design of multiple channel kenel is not limited to the setting of channel number, and emphasis is the notion of dividing by channel width, makes the behavior of laterally growing up of crystal grain in each channel of control.
By the embodiment of the invention described above as can be known, use method of the present invention, be with general assembly active region definition step, before the LASER HEATING processing procedure carries out, promptly finished in advance, therefore, can be utilized the silicon island figure of active area definition, make when laser radiation, nature produces the different temperature province of heat radiation situation and distributes in the structure of silicon island, and is well controlled the crystal grain nucleation site, and the horizontal growth direction of crystal grain.Simultaneously, also in conjunction with the selecting for use of Long Pulse LASER bundle, thus can produce polysilicon membrane with super horizontal long Jingjing grain, and also have the crystal grain queueing discipline by manufactured polycrystalline silicon film of the present invention, and the uniform characteristic of grain size distribution.
So, adopt method of the present invention, need not change or influence the conditioned disjunction number that general polycrystalline SiTFT is made flow process, can make the good polycrystalline SiTFT assembly of electrical quality.In addition,, in crystal silicon layer, transmits phenomenon with skewness so can reduce laser energy also because the use of Long Pulse LASER bundle is to have the effect that can prolong the crystal silicon layer fusion-crystallization time, with so that form the comparatively uniform polysilicon membrane of crystal grain distribution; Therefore, in laser crystallization process of the present invention, only need to use the single-shot laser beam just can reach good laser crystallization effect.
In addition, even channel architecture can be designed to the kenel of multiple channel, utilize the control of each channel width, make promote more size of microcrystal and arrangement all once.Therefore, if the manufacture method of polycrystalline SiTFT of the present invention is applied in the manufacturing of display product, the subassembly product of high-performance, high additive value be must help to produce, simultaneously, the development and the batch process of display large tracts of landization also helped more.
Method of the present invention is not only limited on the film crystal pipe manufacturer that is used in flat-panel screens, and the manufacturing of any polycrystalline SiTFT driven unit all can utilize method of the present invention and significantly promote product usefulness.Though the present invention with embodiment openly as above; right its is not that any people who is familiar with this technology is not in breaking away from creation thought of the present invention and scope in order to qualification the present invention; when can doing various changes and modification, so protection scope of the present invention should be with being as the criterion that claims were defined.
