Description
本発明は、新規な薄膜トランジスタ及びその製造方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a novel thin film transistor and a method for manufacturing the same.
従来の蒸着法、スパッタ法やCVD法といった成膜技術に代えて、塗布法による金属酸化物半導体層の成膜を行った薄膜トランジスタの製造方法が近年提案されている(例えば特許文献1~特許文献3)。In recent years, methods for manufacturing thin-film transistors have been proposed in which a metal oxide semiconductor layer is formed by a coating method instead of conventional film formation techniques such as vapor deposition, sputtering, and CVD (for example, Patent Documents 1 to 3).
塗布法による成膜は、スパッタ法等の真空系の成膜装置を用いる従来法と比べて、より簡易な構成(工程、装置)で、また低コストにての成膜を実現でき、高い生産性に加え、大面積にての成膜やより複雑なパターンにての成膜をも可能とする点で有望視されている。そのため、半導体層の成膜のみならず、薄膜トランジスタを構成する各層の成膜においても塗布法の適用が検討されている。
しかし、一般に、塗布法によって成膜・製造された薄膜トランジスタにおいては、半導体層の形成時に使用する前駆体に由来する不純物の存在、不完全な金属酸化物の形成、さらにはチャネル層の活性化が難しい等の種々の要因により、高い移動度を有するチャネル層、ひいては薄膜トランジスタを実現することは難しい。
Compared with conventional methods using vacuum deposition equipment such as sputtering, coating methods are promising because they can achieve deposition with a simpler configuration (steps, equipment) and at a lower cost, and because they are more productive and allow deposition over a large area and in more complicated patterns. Therefore, the application of coating methods is being considered not only for deposition of semiconductor layers, but also for deposition of each layer constituting a thin film transistor.
However, in general, in thin film transistors formed and manufactured by a coating method, it is difficult to realize a channel layer having high mobility, and thus a thin film transistor, due to various factors such as the presence of impurities derived from the precursors used in forming the semiconductor layer, the formation of incomplete metal oxides, and further, difficulty in activating the channel layer.
本発明は、12cm2/Vs以上、好ましくは18cm2/Vs以上という高い移動度を有するトップゲート型薄膜トランジスタ、並びに、高移動度を実現するトップゲート型薄膜トランジスタの製造方法の提供を課題とする。 An object of the present invention is to provide a top-gate thin-film transistor having a high mobility of 12 cm 2 /Vs or more, preferably 18 cm 2 /Vs or more, and a method for manufacturing a top-gate thin-film transistor that achieves high mobility.
本発明者らは、上記の課題を解決するべく鋭意研究を重ねた結果、金属酸化物半導体層に対して、エキシマレーザー光照射又はYAGレーザー光照射を実施する、特にUV光照射とエキシマレーザー光照射又はYAGレーザー光照射とを組みわせて実施したところ、金属酸化物半導体層を電極(導体)に変換するとともに、金属酸化物半導体層を移動度の高いチャネル層に変換でき、高移動度のトップゲート型薄膜トランジスタとなることを見出し、本発明を完成させた。As a result of extensive research conducted by the inventors to solve the above problems, they discovered that by irradiating a metal oxide semiconductor layer with excimer laser light or YAG laser light, particularly by combining UV light irradiation with excimer laser light or YAG laser light, the metal oxide semiconductor layer can be converted into an electrode (conductor) and also into a high mobility channel layer, resulting in a high mobility top-gate thin film transistor, and thus completed the present invention.

Among the metals listed above, at least one metal selected from the group consisting of indium (In), tin (Sn), zinc (Zn), gallium (Ga), and aluminum (Al) is preferred, and it is particularly preferred to contain any one of indium (In), tin (Sn), and zinc (Zn), and may further contain gallium (Ga) or aluminum (Al).
また上記の金属塩は無機酸塩であることが好ましい。無機酸塩としては、例えば、硝酸塩、硫酸塩、リン酸塩、炭酸塩、炭酸水素塩、ホウ酸塩、塩酸塩及びフッ化水素酸塩からなる群から選ばれる少なくとも1種を用いることができる。これらの塩は水和物の形態であってもよい。金属酸化物半導体層形成用組成物を塗布後の加熱処理(焼成)をより低温で行うことができる観点からは、無機酸塩として、塩酸塩、硝酸塩を用いることが好ましい。 The metal salt is preferably an inorganic acid salt. As the inorganic acid salt, for example, at least one selected from the group consisting of nitrates, sulfates, phosphates, carbonates, hydrogencarbonates, borates, hydrochlorides, and hydrofluorides can be used. These salts may be in the form of hydrates. From the viewpoint of being able to carry out the heat treatment (baking) after application of the composition for forming a metal oxide semiconductor layer at a lower temperature, it is preferable to use hydrochlorides and nitrates as the inorganic acid salt.
なお、上記金属酸化物半導体層形成用組成物が複数種の金属を含有する場合、各金属の割合(組成比)は所望の金属酸化物半導体層を形成することができれば特に限定されないが、例えば、Inや、Snの金属塩から選ばれる塩に含有される金属(金属A)と、Znの金属塩から選ばれる塩に含有される金属(金属B)と、Gaや、Alの金属塩に含有される金属(金属C)とのモル比率が、金属A:金属B:金属C=1:0.05~1:0~1を満たすことが好ましい。例えば、金属塩として好適な硝酸塩を用いる場合、モル比率が金属A:金属B:金属C=1:0.05~1:0~1を満たすように、各金属の硝酸塩を、詳しくは後述する水を主成分とした溶媒に溶解し、さらに上記一般式(I)等の第一アミドが含まれる水溶液として、金属酸化物半導体層形成用組成物を調製すればよい。In addition, when the composition for forming a metal oxide semiconductor layer contains a plurality of metals, the ratio (composition ratio) of each metal is not particularly limited as long as the desired metal oxide semiconductor layer can be formed. For example, it is preferable that the molar ratio of the metal (metal A) contained in a salt selected from metal salts of In and Sn, the metal (metal B) contained in a salt selected from metal salts of Zn, and the metal (metal C) contained in a metal salt of Ga or Al satisfies metal A: metal B: metal C = 1: 0.05 to 1: 0 to 1. For example, when a suitable nitrate salt is used as the metal salt, the nitrate salt of each metal is dissolved in a solvent mainly composed of water, which will be described later in detail, so that the molar ratio satisfies metal A: metal B: metal C = 1: 0.05 to 1: 0 to 1, and the composition for forming a metal oxide semiconductor layer is prepared as an aqueous solution containing a first amide such as the general formula (I) above.

上記金属酸化物半導体層形成用組成物中の固形分濃度は0.1質量%以上であり、好ましくは0.3質量%以上であり、より好ましくは0.5質量%以上である。また上記固形分濃度は30.0質量%以下であり、好ましくは20.0質量%以下であり、より好ましくは15.0質量%以下である。なお、固形分濃度とは、上記金属塩と第一アミド化合物の合計の濃度である。The solid content concentration in the composition for forming a metal oxide semiconductor layer is 0.1% by mass or more, preferably 0.3% by mass or more, and more preferably 0.5% by mass or more. The solid content concentration is 30.0% by mass or less, preferably 20.0% by mass or less, and more preferably 15.0% by mass or less. The solid content concentration is the total concentration of the metal salt and the first amide compound.
上記金属酸化物半導体層形成用組成物の製造方法は特に限定されず、例えば、金属塩と第一アミド化合物を、水を主体とする溶媒に混合すればよい。
組成物のpH調整のために、必要に応じて、硝酸、硫酸、リン酸、炭酸、ホウ酸、塩酸、フッ化水素酸等の酸を添加してもよい。
The method for producing the composition for forming a metal oxide semiconductor layer is not particularly limited. For example, a metal salt and a first amide compound may be mixed in a solvent mainly containing water.
In order to adjust the pH of the composition, an acid such as nitric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, carbonic acid, boric acid, hydrochloric acid, or hydrofluoric acid may be added, if necessary.
上記金属酸化物半導体層形成用組成物を基板に塗布して薄膜を形成した後、焼成することにより、緻密なアモルファスの金属酸化物半導体層を形成することができる。なお、焼成工程の前に、残存溶媒を予め除去するために、前処理として、例えば110℃~180℃、0.1分間~30分間の熱処理による乾燥工程を行ってもよい。The composition for forming a metal oxide semiconductor layer is applied to a substrate to form a thin film, which is then fired to form a dense amorphous metal oxide semiconductor layer. Prior to the firing step, a drying step may be performed as a pretreatment step by heat treatment at, for example, 110°C to 180°C for 0.1 to 30 minutes in order to remove any remaining solvent.
上記金属酸化物半導体層形成用組成物の基板への塗布方法は、公知の方法を適用することができ、例えばスピンコート、ディップコート、スクリーン印刷法、ロールコート、インクジェットコート、ダイコート法、転写印刷法、スプレー法、スリットコート法等が挙げられる。上記金属酸化物半導体層形成用組成物を各種の塗布方法により塗布して得られる薄膜の厚さは1nm~1μmであり、好ましくは10nm~100nmである。The method for applying the composition for forming a metal oxide semiconductor layer to a substrate can be a known method, such as spin coating, dip coating, screen printing, roll coating, inkjet coating, die coating, transfer printing, spraying, slit coating, etc. The thickness of the thin film obtained by applying the composition for forming a metal oxide semiconductor layer by various application methods is 1 nm to 1 μm, and preferably 10 nm to 100 nm.
薄膜形成後、必要に応じて乾燥工程を経た後、焼成工程を実施する。薄膜の焼成により、薄膜(金属酸化物半導体層形成用組成物)中の金属塩が酸化反応し、アモルファスな金属酸化物半導体層を製造することができる。すなわち、上記した金属塩を構成する金属の酸化物(例えば、酸化インジウムガリウム亜鉛、酸化インジウムガリウム、酸化インジウムスズ亜鉛、酸化ガリウム亜鉛、酸化インジウムスズ、酸化インジウム亜鉛、酸化スズ亜鉛、酸化亜鉛、酸化スズ、すなわち例えば、InGaZnOx、InGaOx、InSnZnOx、GaZnOx、InSnOx、InZnOx、SnZnOx(いずれもx>0)、ZnO、SnO2等)を含む、半導体層が形成される。
この焼成温度は250℃~500℃、例えば250℃~350℃とすることができる。なお、上記特定の金属酸化物半導体層形成用組成物を用いることにより、従来300℃以上が必要とされていた焼成温度よりも、より低い温度で焼成しても、緻密なアモルファスの金属酸化物半導体層を形成することが可能である。焼成時間は特に限定されないが、例えば、0.1時間~120時間である。
After the thin film is formed, a drying process is performed as necessary, and then a baking process is performed. By baking the thin film, the metal salt in the thin film (composition for forming a metal oxide semiconductor layer) undergoes an oxidation reaction, and an amorphous metal oxide semiconductor layer can be produced. That is, a semiconductor layer is formed that contains the oxide of the metal constituting the above-mentioned metal salt (e.g., indium gallium zinc oxide, indium gallium oxide, indium tin zinc oxide, gallium zinc oxide, indium tin oxide, indium zinc oxide, tin oxide, zinc oxide, tin oxide, i.e., for example, InGaZnO x , InGaO x , InSnZnO x , GaZnO x , InSnO x , InZnO x , SnZnO x (all x>0), ZnO, SnO 2 , etc.).
The baking temperature can be 250° C. to 500° C., for example, 250° C. to 350° C. By using the specific metal oxide semiconductor layer-forming composition, it is possible to form a dense amorphous metal oxide semiconductor layer even when baking at a lower temperature than the baking temperature that has conventionally required 300° C. or higher. The baking time is not particularly limited, but is, for example, 0.1 hours to 120 hours.
薄膜の焼成には、従来使用されている大気圧プラズマ装置やマイクロ波加熱装置、またホットプレート、IR炉、オーブン等の装置を使用できる。上記特定の金属酸化物半導体層形成用組成物は300℃以下の低温での焼成温度も適用できること、また生産性の観点から汎用性が高く、より安価な加熱装置を用いるという観点から、ホットプレート、IR炉、オーブンなどの使用が有利である。
また、前記薄膜の焼成は、空気中、酸素等の酸化雰囲気だけでなく、窒素、ヘリウム、アルゴン等の不活性ガス中で行うこともできる。
For firing the thin film, a conventionally used atmospheric pressure plasma device, microwave heating device, hot plate, IR furnace, oven, etc. can be used. The specific metal oxide semiconductor layer-forming composition can be applied to a firing temperature as low as 300° C. or less, and from the viewpoint of using a heating device that is highly versatile and inexpensive from the viewpoint of productivity, it is advantageous to use a hot plate, IR furnace, oven, etc.
The thin film can be fired not only in air or an oxidizing atmosphere such as oxygen, but also in an inert gas such as nitrogen, helium, or argon.
こうして得られた金属酸化物半導体層(a)の厚さは特に限定されないが、例えば5nm~100nmである。
なお、一回の塗布・焼成処理により所望の厚さが得られない場合には、塗布・焼成処理の工程を所望の膜厚となるまで繰り返したり、また、塗布・乾燥工程を所望の膜厚となるまで繰り返した後、焼成工程を実施すればよい。
The thickness of the metal oxide semiconductor layer (a) thus obtained is not particularly limited, but is, for example, 5 nm to 100 nm.
In addition, if the desired thickness cannot be obtained by a single coating/firing process, the coating/firing process may be repeated until the desired film thickness is obtained, or the coating/drying process may be repeated until the desired film thickness is obtained, and then a firing process may be carried out.
続いて、得られた金属酸化物半導体層(a)のパターニングとエッチングを行い、金属酸化物半導体層を所望の形状に加工する。パターニング法としては、例えばフォトレジストをマスクとして塩酸などによりエッチングする方法がある。不要になったフォトレジストは有機溶媒やアッシングなどによって除去することができる。 Then, the obtained metal oxide semiconductor layer (a) is patterned and etched to process the metal oxide semiconductor layer into the desired shape. For example, a patterning method includes a method in which a photoresist is used as a mask and etching is performed with hydrochloric acid or the like. Unnecessary photoresist can be removed by organic solvents or ashing.

フッ素を含むポリシロキサン膜は、固形分として例えばフッ素化ポリシロキサン、フッ素変性等の変性シリコーン、又はフッ素含有界面活性剤を含むポリシロキサン等を、固形分濃度0.1質量%~50質量%、又は0.1質量%~40質量%、又は0.1質量%~30質量%、又は1質量%~20質量%、又は5質量%~20質量%の水溶性組成物を用いて形成できる。

A suitable example of the insulating layer (b) (gate insulating film) is a polysiloxane film containing fluorine. The polysiloxane film containing fluorine is obtained by applying and baking a material such as fluorinated polysiloxane, modified silicone such as fluorine modified, or polysiloxane containing a fluorine-containing surfactant. That is, the polysiloxane film containing fluorine means not only a mode in which a part of the polysiloxane structure is replaced with a fluorine atom, but also a mode in which an additive containing a fluorine atom (surfactant, etc.) is contained in the film.
The fluorine-containing polysiloxane film can be formed by using a water-soluble composition having a solid content of, for example, fluorinated polysiloxane, modified silicone such as fluorine-modified, or polysiloxane containing a fluorine-containing surfactant, with a solid content concentration of 0.1% by mass to 50% by mass, or 0.1% by mass to 40% by mass, or 0.1% by mass to 30% by mass, or 1% by mass to 20% by mass, or 5% by mass to 20% by mass.
More specifically, the water-soluble composition is applied by pin coating or the like onto a metal oxide semiconductor layer (a) formed on a substrate, and then dried at 110° C. to 180° C. for 0.1 to 30 minutes, and then baked at 250° C. to 350° C. for 0.1 to 10 hours, to obtain a fluorine-containing polysiloxane film having a film thickness in the range of, for example, 10 nm to 500 nm, 50 nm to 400 nm, or 100 nm to 300 nm.

The (c) layer may be formed with the same materials, procedures, and thickness as the metal oxide semiconductor layer (a) in the above-mentioned <Step (A)>.
<(C)工程>
本工程は、金属酸化物半導体層(c)のパターニングとエッチングを行う工程であり、前述の<(A)工程>における金属酸化物半導体層(a)のパターニングとエッチングと同様の手順により、実施可能である(図5(C)工程参照)。
<Step (C)>
This process is a process for patterning and etching the metal oxide semiconductor layer (c), and can be carried out in the same manner as the patterning and etching of the metal oxide semiconductor layer (a) in the above-mentioned <Process (A)> (see Process (C) in FIG. 5).

During the ultraviolet light irradiation, Structure A was heated to 115° C. on a hot plate.
In the structure A that was subjected to only the ultraviolet irradiation treatment, the exposed portions of the oxide semiconductor layer B and the oxide semiconductor layer A had a significantly reduced electrical resistance and functioned as electrodes.

That is, in Reference Example 1 as well, a top-gate type thin film transistor having the structure (cross-sectional view) shown in FIG. 2 was manufactured. However, the mobility of the top-gate type thin film transistor manufactured in Reference Example 1 was 14.33 cm 2 /Vs, and a top-gate type thin film transistor with good performance having a mobility exceeding 18 cm 2 /Vs obtained in Examples 1 to 6 could not be manufactured.

上記の紫外線照射とYAGレーザー照射の処理を施した構造体Aにおいては、酸化物半導体層B及び酸化物半導体層Aの露出部は、電気抵抗が大きく低下して導体となり、電極として機能した。一方、酸化物半導体層Aのゲート絶縁膜に覆われている領域は、半導体(チャネル)として機能した。すなわち、図2に示すように、表層に露出した酸化物半導体層Bはゲート電極として機能し、また表層に露出した酸化物半導体層A(一部)はソース電極又はドレイン電極(なおソース電極とドレイン電極は特に区別されない)として機能し、結果として、トップゲート型薄膜トランジスタが製造できた。

Next, using a YAG laser device (MATRIX 355-1-60, manufactured by COHERENT), the structure A was irradiated with a YAG laser under the conditions of an irradiation energy amount of 120 mJ/ cm2 in an air atmosphere. The pulse width of the YAG laser (wavelength 355 nm) at this time was 25 nanoseconds or less, the frequency was 60 kHz, the irradiation time was 4 minutes, and the intensity was 0.5 mW/ cm2 .
In the structure A that was subjected to the above-mentioned ultraviolet irradiation and YAG laser irradiation, the exposed portions of the oxide semiconductor layer B and the oxide semiconductor layer A became conductors with a large decrease in electrical resistance and functioned as electrodes. Meanwhile, the region of the oxide semiconductor layer A covered with the gate insulating film functioned as a semiconductor (channel). That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the oxide semiconductor layer B exposed on the surface functioned as a gate electrode, and the oxide semiconductor layer A (part) exposed on the surface functioned as a source electrode or drain electrode (the source electrode and the drain electrode are not particularly distinguished), and as a result, a top-gate type thin film transistor was manufactured.
