Therefore, the gate structure in general thin film transistors must have an insulating layer to cover the gate to avoid the Hi 丨 ock effect. The gate structure in the first figure is to isolate the gate 11 from the outside by a hard aluminum halide layer 12 to avoid the Hillock effect. The traditional method is to generate the alumina layer 12 by electrochemical method. The method is to apply the gate electrode 11 to a voltage 'and immerse it in an acidic solution, so that the gate electrode 11 at this time serves as the anode in the redox reaction ( ariOde), so a layer of aluminum oxide 12 will be formed on the surface of the gate 11 at this time to form an anodized aluminum metal gate-level wire. Since it is difficult to control the thickness of the thin film produced by this electrochemical method, the thickness of the k-layer oxide layer 12 on the anodized aluminum metal gate wire is not uniform. When you want to connect the closed poles of the entire liquid aa display plane in series, you must perform _-under-lithography and button engraving technology to lay out contact windows on the anode gate metal gate wire, so that The source / drain metal wire can pass through the alumina layer 彳 2 to be in contact with the gate-level wire to conduct. However, since the thickness of the alumina layer 12 is not uniform and it is not easy to penetrate the hard alumina layer 12 at once, it is necessary to control the alumina layer 12 very carefully. In the above-mentioned conventional method, 'the gate wire must be formed by using a Sau alloy because the chance of generating the H i 丨 〇c k effect is reduced. However, with the increasing trend of liquid crystal displays, it is necessary to reduce the scanning time of the liquid crystal display as much as possible, that is, to reduce the resistance formed after the thin film transistor gate is connected.

Description of the invention () wire, its resistance is about twice that of pure aluminum, so the above-mentioned gate structure is not suitable for large-scale liquid crystal displays. In addition, in the above-mentioned gate-level wire structure manufacturing process In addition, the etching process must be tightly controlled when the aluminum oxide layer 12 is etched; otherwise, it is easy to cause excessive etching of the gate aluminum alloy, or another problem, that is, the surface of the gate 11 of some pixels The aluminum oxide layer 12 has not yet formed a contact window. When the gates are to be connected to form gate-level wires, the gates 11 of these pixels are not connected, so these pixels cannot operate, which affects the production rate of the liquid crystal display. And this added lithography and etching process will lead to an increase in manufacturing time and cost. In addition, an additional etching process is to etch anodized aluminum metal gate-level wires, and its etching technology is relatively difficult. It is difficult, and the stability of the process is difficult to control, so it will affect the yield of the process. 5-3 Purpose and summary of the invention Page) In view of the above background of the invention, the traditional thin film transistor gate electrode structure made of aluminum alloy wire process will make the thin film transistor process an etched anodized aluminum metal gate wire, so that The process is unstable and the yield is reduced, so the first object of the present invention is to simplify the process and avoid the etching of anodized aluminum metal gate-level wires, so as to reduce the use of photomasks and the instability of the process and improve the yield. Another object of the present invention is to change the gate structure of the thin film transistor, so that the gate of the thin film transistor will not have the Hillock effect again due to long-term use.

The gate shape of the gate structure of the invention () is not right-angled, so even after a long period of use *, it will not The Mock effect was again generated. Therefore, the service life of the liquid crystal display can be increased. The method for forming a thin film transistor of the present invention is mainly to form a gate structure different from the traditional gate structure by different processes to form the gate-level wire in the present invention. Referring to the second step, a first conductive layer 21 is first formed on the substrate 22, and then a second conductive layer 23 is formed on the first conductive layer 21. The material of the substrate 22 is made of glass or transparent resin. According to the embodiment of the present invention, the first conductive layer is formed of pure aluminum, but may be formed of a metal such as an aluminum alloy. In the embodiment of the present invention, the second conductive layer is a buffer metal thin film made of Tibetan plating and is made of chromium (Cr), titanium (Ti), Gu (Mo), group (Ta), And made of metal such as Crane Chemical (MoW). Referring to the third figure, a photoresist pattern layer 24 is formed on the second conductive layer 23 by a lithography step. Next, referring to the fourth figure, with the photoresist pattern layer 24 as a mask, the second conductive layer 23, that is, the buffer metal film is etched. The etching process may be conventional dry etching or wet etching. In the embodiment of the present invention, if the second conductive layer is made of molybdenum (MO), the second conductive layer 23 can be dry-etched using C F4 as an etching gas. Because the second conductive layer is a buffer metal film formed by sputtering, in this etching step, there are not only vertical etching but also horizontal etching. The ratio of the vertical etching rate to the lateral etching rate is 1: 1, so that the second The conductive layer 23 is retracted under the photoresist pattern layer 24. Then use traditional wet or dry etching to enter the paper size of the first conductive layer into the state of China State Standards (CNS) A4 (210X 297 mm) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) Order & Consumers ’Intermediate Standards Bureau's Work and Consumption Cooperation“ No Print 449 80 7 A7 B7 V. Description of the Invention () Line Etching ”In this embodiment, the first conductive layer is treated with a traditional aluminum etchant. Etching is performed, for example, BCI3 + CI2 + CHCI3 + N2. In this etching step, the ratio of the longitudinal etching rate to the lateral etching rate is 1: 0.7, so the shape of the first conductive layer 21 after the crystal etching is shown as the outer shape of the first conductive layer 21 in the fourth figure. The area of the abutting surface of the conductive layer 21 and the substrate 22 is larger than the area of the abutting surface of the first conductive layer and the photoresist pattern layer 24. Then, the second conductive layer 23 is etched by a conventional wet or dry etching step, using the photoresist pattern layer 24 after the first etching as a mask. Since the photoresist pattern layer 24 has been etched twice, its width has been reduced. Therefore, in this etching step, the second conductive layer 21 is etched with the photoresist pattern layer 24 as a mask. Because the volume of the photoresist pattern layer 24 has become smaller and the edges of the photoresist pattern layer 24 have become thinner, the area of the adjacent surface of the second conductive layer 23 and the photoresist pattern layer 24 will be smaller in this etching. The area of the adjacent surface of the second conductive layer 23 and the first conductive layer 21, so the shape of the formed second conductive layer 2.3 is as shown in the fifth figure. Next, referring to the sixth figure, the first conductive layer 21 is formed by partially covering the surface of the first conductive layer that is not covered by the second conductive layer 23 by anodization, so that the first dielectric layer 27 completely completes the first conductive layer 21. It is surrounded, and the second dielectric layer 27 is composed of silicon oxide or silicon nitride, and its edges are not at right angles, so there is no problem of reducing the service life of the thin film transistor as in the conventional technology. Then, the photoresist pattern layer 24 is removed to form a gate-level structure of the thin film transistor provided by the present invention. In the present invention, the Zhaben paper size is in accordance with the China National Standard (CNS) Λ4 specification (210X297 mm) (please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) Manufacturing 449 80 γ A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (.) In the electrode structure, the first conductive layer 21 is completely surrounded by the second conductive layer 23 and the first dielectric layer 27, so there will be no Hillock effect. Then, the gate structure of each thin film transistor is connected in series to obtain the gate-level wire formed in the present invention. Because the second conductive layer 23 is conductive, when the thin film transistor gate structures are connected in series, it is not necessary to perform another lithography and etching on the second conductive layer 23 to form a gate-level wire contact window. Therefore, the present invention can reduce the process time. And because the invention avoids the etching of the anodized aluminum metal gate-level wires, the process stability is better controlled, so errors in the etching process can be reduced, and the process yield can be improved. When the complete structure of the thin film transistor is to be formed, various parts of the thin film transistor can be formed by a conventional method. For example, a second dielectric layer 30 is then formed on the gate structure and the substrate 22 described above. The purpose of this second dielectric layer 30 is to serve as a gate insulating layer for a thin film transistor. In this embodiment, it is made of silicon dioxide. A third dielectric layer 35 is then formed on the second dielectric layer 30 by conventional lithography and etching methods. In the embodiment of the present invention, although the third dielectric layer 35 is amorphous silicon (am 〇rph 〇ussi I ic ο η), but can also be composed of polycrystalline silicon (p ο I ycrysta 丨 I inesi I ic ο η). The purpose of the third dielectric layer 35 is to provide induced electrons on the channel to form a channel when the thin film transistor is turned on. A third conductive layer is then formed, and a source 41 and a drain 4 2 of the thin film transistor are defined. Next, a protective layer 50 is formed to electrically isolate the source 41, the drain 42, and the third dielectric layer 35 of the thin film transistor from the outside, and the material is silicon nitride. Then the “paper with this hairpin” completed according to this process is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) Λ4 specification (210X 297 mm) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) -5
