However, in the case of manufacturing an active driving display on a plastic substrate, since the plastic substrate is easily thermally deformed unlike the glass substrate, when the multiple layers need to be aligned, the overlay accuracy becomes much worse. It is difficult to form LDD without using self-aligning process.
For this reason, the active driving display fabricated on the glass substrate does not have the problem of leakage current by the LDD, but the active driving display fabricated on the plastic substrate has the characteristics of the driving current but the electron-holes at the end of the gate electrode. There is a problem in that an electron-hole is generated and a leakage current is generated through the electron-hole.
In order to solve this problem, the research paper "Fabrication of Low-Temperature Poly-Si Thin Film Transistors with Self-Aligned Graded Lightly Doped Drain Structure (Electochemical and Solid-State Letters, Huang-Chung Cheng)" A method of forming a self-aligned LDD on a plastic substrate is disclosed using dopant diffusion following etching and subsequent laser activation. However, this LDD formation method has a disadvantage in that it is difficult to control the doping profile, and the driving current as well as the leakage current are reduced together.
In addition, in the research paper "Performance improvement of polycrystalline thin film transistor by adopting a very thin amorphous silicon buffer (J. Non-Crystalline Solids, Kyung Wook Kim)", amorphous silicon is thinly deposited on polysilicon to form a double active layer structure. A method is disclosed. However, in order to form the double active layer structure as described above, there is a problem in that high-quality amorphous silicon should be formed at a low temperature, and a high-quality gate dielectric should be formed.

On the other hand, in order to achieve the above object, a thin film transistor according to the present invention, a buffer insulating layer formed on a substrate made of a plastic material; A double active layer formed on the buffer insulating layer, the double active layer including a polysilicon layer and a silicon oxide layer including silicon nanoparticles; And a gate electrode, a source, and a drain electrode formed on the dual active layer.
Meanwhile, in order to achieve the above object, an active driving display device according to the present invention includes a thin film transistor manufactured using the thin film transistor manufacturing method, a capacitor and a light emitting device electrically connected to the thin film transistor. do.
According to the present invention, when the active driving display device is manufactured on a plastic substrate, a double active layer structure is formed of a silicon oxide layer including a polysilicon layer and silicon nanoparticles having a large band gap, thereby causing electrons as a cause of leakage current. -It is possible to reduce the generation of holes, thereby having an excellent current driving ability by the polysilicon, there is an effect that can suppress the leakage current by the silicon nanoparticles.
