Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for manufacturing a polycrystalline silicon thin film, and to an apparatus and method for producing a polycrystalline silicon thin film by generating joule heat by applying power to a substrate.
In general, amorphous silicon (a-Si) has disadvantages of low mobility and opening ratio of electrons, which are charge carriers, and incompatibility with CMOS processes. On the other hand, in the poly-silicon thin film device, it is possible to configure a driving circuit on the substrate like the pixel TFT-array, which is necessary for writing an image signal to the pixel, which was not possible in the amorphous silicon TFT (a-Si TFT). . Therefore, in the polycrystalline silicon thin film element, the connection between the plurality of terminals and the driver IC becomes unnecessary, so that the productivity and reliability can be increased and the thickness of the panel can be reduced. In addition, in the polycrystalline silicon TFT process, since the microfabrication technology of silicon LSI can be used as it is, a microstructure can be formed in wiring etc. Therefore, since there is no pitch constraint on the TAB mounting of the driver IC seen in the amorphous silicon TFT, pixel reduction is easy and a large number of pixels can be realized with a small field of view. The thin film transistor using polycrystalline silicon in the active layer has a high switching capability and the channel position of the active layer is determined by self-matching, compared with the thin film transistor using amorphous silicon, so that device miniaturization and CMOS are possible. For this reason, polycrystalline silicon thin film transistors are used as pixel switch elements in active matrix type flat panel displays (e.g., liquid crystal displays, organic ELs), and the like. It is emerging as a major device.
On the other hand, the inventors of the present invention in Korea Patent Application No. 2007-0021252 has proposed a method for crystallization by heating the joule by applying an electric field after interposing a conductive thin film on or below the silicon thin film.

In the present invention, as described above, Joule heating is generated by applying an electric field to the conductive layer. Joule heating means heating by using heat generated by resistance when current flows through a conductor. .
That is, the amount of energy per unit time applied to the conductive layer by Joule heating due to the application of the electric field may be represented by the following equation.
W = V × I
In the above formula, W is the amount of energy per unit time of Joule heating, V is the voltage across the conductive layer, and I is the current, respectively.
From the above equation, it can be seen that as the voltage V increases and / or the current I increases, the amount of energy per unit time applied to the conductive layer by Joule heating increases. When the temperature of the conductive layer is increased by Joule heating, the
In this case, since the application of the electric field is determined by various factors such as resistance, length and thickness of the conductive layer, it is difficult to be specified, but about 100 W / cm 2 to 1,000,000 W / cm 2 May be enough. In addition, the applied current may be direct current or alternating current, and the application time of the electric field may be 1 / 10,000,000 to 10 seconds continuously applied. The application of this electric field can be repeated several times in regular or irregular units.

As a result, the amount of energy applied to the conductive layer by Joule heating due to the application of the electric field increases as the current increases, and therefore, the amount of energy applied to the outer region becomes smaller than the amount of energy applied to the central region.
On the other hand, as described above, the
Therefore, in the related art, the amount of current applied to the center region is smaller than the amount of current applied to the outer region due to the resistance difference of the conductive layer. However, in the present invention, the
