技術が熟成していない゛のが現状である。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an active matrix substrate for a liquid crystal display device having an active element using a thin film semiconductor. [Prior art] In recent years, thin film transistors (TFTs) and thin film diodes (
There is active development of active matrix liquid crystal display devices that aim to improve image quality by providing each pixel with an active element using a thin film semiconductor such as TFD. Such a liquid crystal display device has a structure in which a liquid crystal is sandwiched between two substrates, one of which is an active matrix substrate in which the active elements are formed in a matrix, and the other is an opposing substrate made of, for example, a glass substrate with transparent electrodes formed on the entire surface. It consists of a substrate. Since TN type liquid crystals with high contrast are usually used as liquid crystals, transmission type liquid crystal display devices have been developed in which transparent substrates such as glass are used as substrates for forming active elements. Amorphous silicon (a-Si) and polysilicon (poly-Si) are mainly used as thin film semiconductor materials that form the channel region of active elements.
i allows the use of inexpensive glass substrates because the film can be formed at low temperatures, and has been applied to many recent pocket-type LCD televisions. Poly-Si has higher mobility than a=si, and has extremely low photosensitivity compared to single-crystal silicon and a-Si, which means it can realize high-performance active elements that are extremely stable against light. For this reason, it is expected that it will be applied to the next generation of high-definition liquid crystal display devices, but the current state is that the technology that can easily form large areas at low enough temperatures to use inexpensive glass substrates has not yet matured. be.

より液晶表示装置が完成される(第2図)。As a method for forming poly-Si active devices, high fflPol during normal silicon IC+LSI process is used.
There is a method using the y-St process. However, the substrate material must be quartz or single crystal silicon that can withstand such high-temperature processes. Among these, the latter single-crystal silicon substrate is used, and there is no light incidence and high speed. The peripheral drive circuit that requires high performance is formed with a single crystal silicon transistor circuit, and the active element part where light enters is
For example, a method of forming an active matrix substrate using 1y-S i T F T is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application No. 61-246.

1, a transparent adhesive layer 20 of epoxy or polyimide, etc.
2, the device layer on which the active element is formed is adhered to form an active matrix substrate. The details of the device layer are as follows. Although not shown in FIG. 2, an island-shaped poly-Si semiconductor layer 204 is formed in a matrix on a thermally oxidized insulating film 203 made of silicon dioxide, for example, on a single crystal silicon substrate using a normal silicon IC or LSI process. After forming the array in the form of
- Insulating film 205. Gate electrodes 206 are sequentially patterned. Next, after forming source and drain regions in the poly-Si semiconductor layer by ion implantation or the like, an insulating film 207 for wiring isolation is formed, a contact hole is opened, and a train wiring 208 for signal wiring is formed using aluminum wiring. The source contour 209 is patterned to form TPT. Display electrode 2
Reference numeral 10 denotes a transparent electrode made of ITO, which serves as a source contact 2.
Connected to 0. In this case, there is no particular need for a source contact, but if there are only about 500 display electrodes 210, the reliability of the connection with the source region through contact holes of 3000 or more will usually be lost, so it is better to have a source contact. Finally, a thermal oxidation insulating film 2 is applied to this single crystal silicon substrate by selective polishing from the back side.
It is polished to 03 to form a thin device layer. Figure 3 shows a schematic plan view of the active matrix board including the peripheral drive circuit. For example, there is a matrix wiring in which the gate electrode 206 is a horizontal wiring and the drain wiring 208 is a vertical wiring.
3 and pixels separated by display electrodes 210, a peripheral drive circuit, for example, a scan drive circuit 301 . A signal drive circuit 302 is installed. On the active matrix substrate formed as described above, a liquid crystal alignment film 211 (see FIG. 2) is formed on at least the entire surface of the display electrode 210, and a transparent counter electrode 5212 made of ITO is formed on the entire surface of the transparent glass substrate 201. A liquid crystal display device is completed by sandwiching a TN type liquid crystal 213 between the opposite substrates formed on the substrate (FIG. 2).

ネル領域となる様に島状にパターン化する。By the way, there are several methods for forming the liquid crystal alignment film 211, and among them, the rubbing method, which is extremely easy to manufacture, has been used recently. This is a method in which an organic film such as polyimide is patterned by printing as a liquid crystal alignment film, and then the organic film is rubbed with flocking on the surface of cloth or the like so that the liquid crystal molecules are aligned in one direction. With this method, the second
As shown in the figure, when an organic film formed on an active matrix substrate is rubbed to form a liquid crystal alignment film 211, uniform alignment cannot be obtained over the entire area due to steps such as aluminum wiring. This is particularly noticeable at the stepped portion, that is, the peripheral portion of the display electrode 210. For example, if the level difference due to the film thickness of aluminum wiring is noticeable and is usually 1 μm or more, most of the rubbing will be done on the aluminum wiring, and the display electrode 210 to be rubbed will be rubbed.
The upper part becomes unoriented. In addition, if the frictional force is increased to form a good alignment film on the display electrode 210, the TP
This may cause damage to the T. As described above, in the conventional example, the yield was poor because alignment film defects were caused during rubbing for forming the liquid crystal alignment film 211, and the TPT was damaged. The above problems also apply to active matrix substrates in which poty-SiTFTs are directly formed on quartz substrates. An object of the present invention is to eliminate such conventional drawbacks and provide a high-yield, high-performance active matrix substrate for a liquid crystal display device. [Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the active matrix substrate for a liquid crystal display device of the present invention is formed in a matrix shape on an insulating substrate and has thin film semiconductor active elements. A matrix wiring for controlling and applying signals through the active element, a transparent insulating flattening film formed on the insulating substrate to cover the active element and the matrix wiring, and a transparent insulating flattening film formed on the insulating flattening film. The display electrode is made up of at least two display electrodes. [Example] An example of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a sectional view of an active matrix substrate for a liquid crystal display device for explaining one embodiment of the present invention. 1st
In the figure, for example, an inexpensive transparent glass substrate 101 is used as a holding substrate, and a pol film is placed on it with an adhesive layer 102 thereon.
The structure in which a thin film device layer having active elements arranged in a matrix of y-Si TFTs is provided is the same as the conventional example described above. Also, the adhesive layer 10
Similar to the conventional example, adhesive No. 2 is a transparent adhesive material such as epoxy or polyimide. The device layer will be explained in detail below. Although not shown, an insulating film 103 of silicon dioxide is formed on a single crystal silicon substrate by a thermal oxidation method, a CVD method, or the like. There is no particular limit to the thickness, but it is desirable to have at least 1000 polishers in view of the polishing accuracy required to form the device layer, which will be discussed later. A poly-Si semiconductor layer 104 is deposited on this insulating film 103 by, for example, the CVD method, and patterned into an island shape to form a TPT channel region for each pixel in a matrix.

The poly-Si gate electrode 106 is sequentially formed and patterned using the same process as a MOSFET of a normal silicon IC! 1. 06 directly forms matrix wiring, for example, horizontal wiring, and p
o 1 y - S i T FT Controls opening and closing of T. After performing, for example, ion implantation to form source and drain regions in the poly-SL semiconductor layer 104, a wiring isolation insulating film 107 is formed to separate the gate electrode 106 and subsequent aluminum wiring, and contact holes are formed in the source and train regions. Open it. Next, after aluminum is deposited on the entire surface to a thickness of about 1 μm, a drain wiring 10 that becomes a signal application wiring is formed.
8 and source contrast 109. The drain wiring 108 forms, for example, a vertical wiring, and the horizontal wiring of the gate electrode 106 forms a matrix wiring. Then, at least pol3/- arranged in a matrix
For example, a silicon dioxide coating material (trade name: OCD manufactured by Tokyo Ohka Co., Ltd.) or an acrylic resin coating material (trade name: JSS-451 manufactured by Nippon Synthetic Rubber Co., Ltd.) or the like is applied to a thickness of 1 μm over the entire area surrounded by the matrix wiring containing SiTPT. ~2μ
A transparent insulating flattening film 110 is formed by coating the film in a thickness of about m with a tin coat or the like and baking it. Next, the planarization film 1. on the source contacts 109 of all the po 1 y-S LTFTs arranged in a matrix. .. A contact hole is formed in 10 by photolithography, and a transparent display electrode 111 made of, for example, ITO is installed connected to each source contact 109 and separated into each pixel. At this time, the display electrode 111 can accommodate, for example, 500 or more people.
Since it is a thin film of 1,000 layers, the flattening film 11 is such that the level difference in the contact hole part is 0.5 μm to 1 μm, for example.
If the condition is 0, it is desirable to reduce the step difference by etching back or the like. Finally, as described in the conventional example, the single crystal silicon substrate is polished from the back side using selective polishing.
The device layer is completed. Planarization film 110, display electrode 11
1 may be formed on an active matrix substrate after polishing a single crystal silicon substrate. In the active matrix substrate of this embodiment in which the device layer formed as described above is bonded to the glass substrate 101 via the adhesive layer 102, the level difference of about 1 μm due to matrix wiring etc. can be eliminated by the flattening film 110, for example. .1~0.2μ
It is reduced to about m. In addition, the level difference due to matrix wiring etc. is steep due to photolithography, but the flattening film 1
10 has a smooth step structure. Therefore, the liquid crystal alignment film 112 formed on the display electrode etc. becomes flat, and the entire liquid crystal alignment film can be rubbed uniformly without damaging the TPT, and no alignment film defects occur. In this embodiment, the peripheral drive circuit is constructed on a single-crystal silicon substrate in the same way as the conventional example shown in FIG. 3, and the planarization process can also be shared. Furthermore, in this embodiment, an active matrix substrate in which poly-Si TFTs are formed on a single crystal silicon substrate has been described, but even when poly-Si TFTs are directly formed on a quartz substrate as described in the conventional example, there is still a T F T or TF
The present invention can also be applied to active matrix substrates such as D. [Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the active matrix substrate for a liquid crystal display device of the present invention, steep and high steps caused by aluminum wiring etc. can be smoothed and flattened by a simple process of coating the flattening film 111. By rubbing, a good liquid crystal alignment film 112 with no unevenness is formed even on the display electrode portion, and a good liquid crystal display is possible. Furthermore, rubbing with strong frictional force is unnecessary, and the aluminum wiring and TFT parts are less damaged during rubbing, resulting in a high-yield structure with no defects.
