Description
本發明係關於一種薄膜元件的製造方法,尤其是一種背通道蝕刻半導體薄膜元件的製造方法。 The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a thin film element, in particular to a method for manufacturing a back channel etching semiconductor thin film element.
為了簡化薄膜電晶體的製作,背通道蝕刻〈back channel etch,BCE〉的結構是目前相當普遍的製程方法。在製造多矽電晶體時,首先形成非晶〈非晶形〉矽〈a-Si〉薄膜,然後藉由雷射退火轉變成多晶,雷射光照非晶矽可達成轉變為結晶狀態。目前廣泛使用準分子雷射退火〈ecimer laser annealing,ELA〉作為雷射退火之雷射光,準分子雷射為波長在308奈米或更短之紫外線波長範圍的脈衝振盪雷射,產生粒度小之粒狀結晶。 In order to simplify the fabrication of thin film transistors, the structure of back channel etch <back channel etch, BCE> is currently a fairly common process method. In the manufacture of polysilicon transistors, an amorphous silicon (a-Si) film is first formed, and then converted into polycrystalline by laser annealing. The amorphous silicon can be transformed into a crystalline state by laser irradiation. Excimer laser annealing <ecimer laser annealing, ELA> is widely used as the laser for laser annealing. Excimer laser is a pulsed oscillating laser with a wavelength in the ultraviolet wavelength range of 308 nm or less, which produces a small particle size. Granular crystals.
然而,準分子雷射退火結晶技術係皆受限於線束的長度。例如,準分子雷射退火線束在大面積薄膜的整個寬度或長度上無法提供一致的光束性質。因此,準分子雷射退火掃瞄只能在小區塊的膜面積中執行,其必須使基板移動於x和y兩者方向,才得以成功地處理該薄膜。相較於掃瞄較小的膜,掃瞄於x和y兩者方向不僅增加了製程時間,並 且其也產生了具有束邊緣之更低品質的膜與多個結晶掃瞄間之不一致性。 However, the excimer laser annealing crystallization technology is limited by the length of the wire beam. For example, the excimer laser annealing beam cannot provide consistent beam properties over the entire width or length of a large-area film. Therefore, the excimer laser annealing scan can only be performed in a small area of the film, and it must move the substrate in both the x and y directions to successfully process the film. Compared with scanning smaller films, scanning in both the x and y directions not only increases the process time, but also And it also creates inconsistencies between lower quality films with beam edges and multiple crystal scans.
背通道蝕刻的製程因為先製作閘極金屬層,電晶體表面多起伏,當進行準分子雷射退火,加熱深度受限且鍍膜均勻性不佳,因此不適合以準分子雷射退火在非晶半導體層形成結晶。而且雷射源不僅售價昂貴,尤其雷射管需定期更換,機具等使用費用不貲。 The back-channel etching process is because the gate metal layer is first produced, and the surface of the transistor is undulating. When performing excimer laser annealing, the heating depth is limited and the coating uniformity is poor. Therefore, it is not suitable for excimer laser annealing in amorphous semiconductors. The layer forms crystals. Moreover, the laser source is not only expensive, especially the laser tube needs to be replaced regularly, and the cost of using equipment is not expensive.
有鑑於上述課題,本領域急需一種不受電晶體表面起伏,可以均勻退火並結晶的方法。本發明提供一種薄膜元件的製造方法包含形成一閘極金屬層於一基板,再形成一閘極絕緣層於該閘極金屬層上。接著,形成至少一含矽層於該閘極絕緣層上,之後閃光燈退火該閘極金屬層以及該含矽層,並形成一源極金屬層以及一汲極金屬層於該含矽層上。 In view of the above-mentioned problems, there is an urgent need in the art for a method that can be uniformly annealed and crystallized without the surface fluctuation of the transistor. The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a thin film element including forming a gate metal layer on a substrate, and then forming a gate insulating layer on the gate metal layer. Then, at least one silicon-containing layer is formed on the gate insulating layer, and then the flash lamp anneals the gate metal layer and the silicon-containing layer, and a source metal layer and a drain metal layer are formed on the silicon-containing layer.
根據本發明部分實施例,在閃光燈退火含矽層之步驟後,還包含:形成一源極-汲極絕緣層於含矽層上,並位於含矽層和源極-汲極金屬層之間。 According to some embodiments of the present invention, after the step of annealing the silicon-containing layer of the flash lamp, the method further includes: forming a source-drain insulating layer on the silicon-containing layer and located between the silicon-containing layer and the source-drain metal layer .
根據本發明部分實施例,形成含矽層於閘極絕緣層上之步驟還包含:形成至少一摻雜層於含矽層。 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the step of forming a silicon-containing layer on the gate insulating layer further includes: forming at least one doped layer on the silicon-containing layer.
根據本發明部分實施例,形成含矽層於閘極絕緣層上之步驟還包含圖案化該含矽層,其中圖案化含矽層之步驟包括:形成一光阻層於含矽層上;微影蝕刻含矽層;以 及移除光阻層。 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the step of forming a silicon-containing layer on the gate insulating layer further includes patterning the silicon-containing layer, wherein the step of patterning the silicon-containing layer includes: forming a photoresist layer on the silicon-containing layer; Shadow etching silicon-containing layer; And remove the photoresist layer.
根據本發明部分實施例,薄膜元件的製造方法還包含形成一源極-汲極絕緣層於源極-汲極金屬層上。 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the method of manufacturing the thin film device further includes forming a source-drain insulating layer on the source-drain metal layer.
根據本發明部分實施例,閃光燈退火之升溫速度介於700-1300℃/秒。 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the heating rate of the flash lamp annealing is between 700-1300°C/sec.
根據本發明部分實施例,閃光燈退火之一波長範圍介於400-800奈米。 According to some embodiments of the present invention, a wavelength range of the flash lamp annealing is 400-800 nm.
根據本發明部分實施例,閃光燈退火含矽層是藉由化學氣相沉積形成於閘極絕緣層上。 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the flash lamp annealing silicon-containing layer is formed on the gate insulating layer by chemical vapor deposition.

經由閃光燈退火含矽層,原本為非晶矽之含矽層可得到較佳的活化,可使含矽層結晶,且閃光燈退火可大面積、一次性完成結晶程序,相較於雷射退火製程更有效率。 Through flash lamp annealing the silicon-containing layer, the silicon-containing layer originally amorphous silicon can be better activated, and the silicon-containing layer can be crystallized, and the flash lamp annealing can complete the crystallization process in a large area at one time, compared with the laser annealing process more efficient.

根據閘極電極之位置,電晶體之元件結構可以是反向交錯式〈inversely-staggered,亦稱為底閘極〈bottom-gate〉〉或交錯式〈亦稱為頂閘極〈top-gate〉〉。在頂閘極結構中,閘極電極位於閘極絕緣層之上方,且主動層形成於閘極絕緣層之下方。在底閘極結構中,閘極電極位於閘極絕緣層之下方,且主動層形成於閘極絕緣層之上方。本發明不以此為限。 According to the position of the gate electrode, the element structure of the transistor can be inversely-staggered, also known as bottom-gate, or staggered, also known as top-gate 〉. In the top gate structure, the gate electrode is located above the gate insulating layer, and the active layer is formed below the gate insulating layer. In the bottom gate structure, the gate electrode is located under the gate insulating layer, and the active layer is formed above the gate insulating layer. The present invention is not limited to this.
請複參考第1圖之步驟S120,形成一閘極絕緣層於該閘極金屬層上。請參考第2C圖。閘極金屬層220上完全覆蓋一閘極絕緣層230。更詳細地說,閘極絕緣層230順應閘極
金屬層220之外形塗覆在閘極金屬層220上,且覆蓋基板210暴露的上表面區域。以可藉由塗覆閘極絕緣層230時,將具有圖案化閘極金屬層220之基板210平坦化,使得基板210表面不因圖案化的閘極金屬層而有隆起部分。
Please refer to step S120 in FIG. 1 again to form a gate insulating layer on the gate metal layer. Please refer to Figure 2C. A
請複參考第1圖之步驟S130,形成一含矽層於該閘極絕緣層上。請參考第2D圖。含矽層240包含一非晶矽層〈a-Si〉,含矽層240透過例如化學氣相沉積〈chemical vapor deposition,CVD〉沉積在閘極絕緣層230頂部,非晶矽層經過n+摻雜形成非晶矽層中的一摻雜層,並成為源極及汲極〈S/D〉接觸點。
Please refer to step S130 in FIG. 1 again to form a silicon-containing layer on the gate insulating layer. Please refer to Figure 2D. The silicon-containing
請複參考第1圖之步驟S140,閃光燈退火含矽層。在含矽層240尚未圖案化形成特定形狀之區塊前,進行閃光燈退火290結晶。閃光雷射退火290使用閃光燈產生寬波長範圍〈例如400-800奈米〉的白光。閃光燈是氣體填充的放電燈,例如氙氣,可產生非常短暫且強烈的非同調全光譜白光。閃光燈退火為使用白光能量在目標物表面產生輻射,還可將光透過反射鏡設置,將光能量聚焦引導到目標物表面。閃光燈功率是由一系列的電容器和電感器供應,放電光能量密度可高達1-20毫秒〈ms〉放電之高達40焦耳/平方公分〈J/cm2〉。閃光燈退火290允許單一閃光快速加熱含矽層240固態表面。
Please refer to step S140 in Figure 1 again, the flash lamp anneals the silicon-containing layer. Before the silicon-containing
影響含矽層240結晶品質之閃光燈的變數可能包含入射光的能量密度以及持續期間和光形狀。由於閃光燈輻射是一泛輻射製程,閃光燈能夠以單一脈衝來輻射大面積的基材表面,可一次性處理覆蓋在基材上之非晶矽膜。因此,不需要
使用如準分子雷射退火掃瞄方式的多脈衝操作。以閃光燈退火之成本相較於雷射退火也更為低廉。根據本發明部分實施例,閃光燈退火之升溫速度介於700-1300℃/秒。
The variables that affect the crystalline quality of the silicon-containing
經過閃光燈退火290之後,含矽層240之結晶結構之橫向生長開始於含矽層240表面,並沿著與閃光燈退火290箭頭垂直方向擴增,以產生一結晶材料。矽結晶粒傾向於從垂直於液態相與固態相矽之間的界面橫向地生長。因此,當含矽層240的某些區塊被輻射且熔化而含矽層240的其他區塊維持固態時,結晶生長從含矽層240的固態/液態界面開始,並且沿著含矽層240橫向行進。此種結晶生長的形式稱為橫向生長,可以產生大的矽結晶粒,利於元件製造。因此,元件可以形成在含矽層240的橫向生長區域中。
After the
請參考第2F圖。含矽層240先圖案化,圖案化製程包含形成一光阻層於含矽層240,用以對含矽層240的非晶矽層與摻雜層進行黃光微影蝕刻,以形成特定形狀之含矽層240’,僅保留一預定形狀之區塊〈island〉在閘極絕緣層230上,再將光阻層移除。光阻層移除之後,進行閃光燈退火290。根據本發明部分實施例,閃光燈退火290可於含矽層240圖案化之前或之後進行。第2E圖中,閃光燈退火290在含矽層240圖案化之前進行,第2F圖中閃光燈退火290在含矽層240’圖案化之後進行。在含矽層240’圖案化之後進行閃光燈退火,由於含矽層240’表面平坦化,閘極絕緣層230塗覆在閘極金屬層220的型態〈上下起伏〉對於含矽層240’結晶特性的影響更小。

請複參考第1圖之步驟S150,形成一源極金屬層
以及一汲極金屬層。請參考第2G圖。圖案化含矽層240’後,利用之前在含矽層240’中形成的摻雜層當作源極及汲極〈S/D〉接觸點,形成第二金屬層,也就是源極-汲極金屬層250。源極-汲極金屬層250的材料可以選自由銅(Cu)、金(Au)、銀(Ag)、鋁(Al)、鎢(W)、鉬(Mo)、鉻(Cr)、鉭(Ta)、鈦(Ti)、其合金或組合所組成之群組的材料製造而成。源極-汲極金屬層250之上還塗覆一源極-汲極絕緣層〈圖未示〉,完成此電晶體薄膜元件製造程序。

請參考第3圖。第3圖係根據本發明部分實施例之一薄膜元件剖面示意圖。在背通道蝕刻製程中,利用上述方法製作電晶體薄膜,首先在基板310上形成閘極金屬層320,在閘極金屬層320上塗覆閘極絕緣層330,在本實施例中,閘極絕緣層330僅平坦覆蓋閘極金屬層320的範圍,並未因閘極金屬層310之型態而形成如第2C圖起伏之外貌,閘極絕緣層330也不與基板310接觸。接著,於閘極絕緣層330上形成含矽層340,含矽層340包含非晶矽層以及摻雜層,含矽層340可在圖案化前或圖案或之後進行閃光燈退火。之後,形成源極-汲極金屬層於經過閃光燈退火結晶的含矽層340。在本實施例中,含矽層340經過圖案化之後,並不完全遮蓋其下的閘極絕緣層330。也就是說,含矽層340與閘極絕緣層330外形並不相同,使得部分閘極絕緣層330暴露於含矽層340外。第二金屬層,即源極-汲極金屬層350再形成於含矽層340上。於本實施例,含矽層340僅部分覆蓋在源極-汲極金屬層350之下。源極-汲極金屬層350於本發明部分實施例中也可完全省略。即,含矽層
340上方沒有覆蓋源極-汲極金屬層350。根據本發明部分實施例,此製作流程允許含矽層與閘極金屬層、源極-汲極金屬層形貌不一致。
