請參照第1A圖、第1B圖以及第1C圖,在基板110上設置有閘極線120以及資料線130。在第1A圖所繪示的實施例中,閘極線120為縱向延伸,資料線130為橫向延伸並與一部分的閘極線120重疊。在第1B圖的實施例中,資料線130具有通孔,通孔穿過絕緣層192以及絕緣層194並向下延伸。在一些實施例中,光感測器100進一步包含延伸電極180。請參照第1A圖,延伸電極180從薄膜電晶體140的汲極148延伸至資料線130下。請參照第1B圖,資料線130的通孔向下延伸並接觸延伸電極180。延伸電極180至少部分覆蓋在第一遮光層170上。另一方面,光感測結構150的下電極152亦至少部分覆蓋在第一遮光層170上。Please refer to Figure 1A, Figure 1B and Figure 1C.
請參照第1A圖、第1B圖以及第1C圖,基板110上同時也設置了薄膜電晶體140以及光感測結構150。薄膜電晶體140鄰近閘極線120設置並且其閘極142橫向延伸以與閘極線120電連接(請參照第1A圖)。薄膜電晶體140的源極144與汲極148縱向延伸,並分別連接光感測結構150以及資料線130。同時,基板110上設置的共通電極線160平行資料線130,並橫向地延伸跨越閘極線120以及光感測結構150。請參照第1B圖以及第1C圖,光感測結構150具有上電極156以及位於下電極152以及上電極156之間的光感測層154。具體來說,光感測結構150的下電極152設置在基板110上方。絕緣層192設置於光感測結構150的下電極152上方,其中絕緣層192具有通孔192H,通孔192H暴露部分的下電極152表面。光感測層154填充在通孔192H中並與被通孔192H暴露的部分下電極152表面直接接觸形成電連接。光感測結構150的上電極156直接接觸並設置在光感測層154上。共通電極線160設置有一個通孔向下方延伸,並且與光感測結構150的上電極156電連接。Please refer to Figure 1A, Figure 1B and Figure 1C. The
請參照第1A圖、第1B圖以及第1C圖,在一些實施例中,前述部分被延伸電極180所覆蓋的第一遮光層170進一步延伸並且位於資料線130通孔下方區域、資料線130與光感測結構150之間區域以及光感測結構150下方區域。更進一步來說,在一些實施例中光感測結構150的下電極152至少部分覆蓋在第一遮光層170上。參照第1B圖以及第1C圖可以看出,光感測結構150將完全設置在第一遮光層170上方,光感測結構150的上表面150a高於第一遮光層170的上表面170a。參照第1A圖,在俯視角度中觀察可以發現,第一遮光層170的面積大於光感測結構150的下電極152的面積。Please refer to Figure 1A, Figure 1B and Figure 1C. In some embodiments, the first light-
同時,第一遮光層170分別與閘極線120以及資料線130部分重疊,但不延伸超過閘極線120或資料線130的另一個邊緣。換句話說,第一遮光層170的覆蓋區域將不會延伸到相鄰的另一個像素單元。由於資料線130以及閘極線120使用的材料為不透光材料(例如,金屬),透過將第一遮光層170與部分的資料線130以及閘極線120重疊,以保證第一遮光層170與資料線130以及閘極線120之間不會有未被覆蓋的透光區域。第一遮光層170將能一定程度地減少由基板110反射的光線(例如,減少約40%的光線反射率)。如此一來,覆蓋第一遮光層170將可以降低光感測器100在資料線130、薄膜電晶體140以及光感測結構150等區域的光線反射率,以降低反射光對光感測結構150判斷結果所造成的影響。At the same time, the first light-
請參照第1A圖以及第1C圖,薄膜電晶體140的通道區146位於源極144以及汲極148之間。通道區146下方設置有閘極142,透過控制施加於閘極線120上的訊號來控制閘極142以進一步開啟或關閉薄膜電晶體140的通道區146。在一些實施例中,第一遮光層170與薄膜電晶體140的通道區146具有相同的半導體材料。因為第一遮光層170以及通道區146由相同半導體材料構成,因此可以在相同製程中被形成。在一些實施例中,用於形成第一遮光層170以及通道區146的材料可以是或包含非晶矽。然而,在其他實施例中,其他合適的材料亦可以被使用。用於形成第一遮光層170以及通道區146的材料相同將可以簡化光感測器100的製造步驟,並同時降低光感測器100的反光率。Referring to FIGS. 1A and 1C , the
在光感測器100的第一遮光層170為半導體材料的實施例中,因為鋪設第一遮光層170的區域可能產生漏電流,因此第一遮光層170的覆蓋區域不會延伸到相鄰的另一個像素單元。這樣可以避免像素單元之間透過第一遮光層170產生漏電流。In an embodiment in which the first light-

第4A圖為根據本揭露的另一些實施例的光感測器100之示意圖。第4B圖為根據第4A圖中線段B-B’的剖面側視圖。第4C圖為根據第4A圖中線段C-C’的剖面側視圖。請參照第4A圖、第4B圖以及第4C圖,相較於前述針對第1A圖、第1B圖以及第1C圖的實施例,第一遮光層170僅覆蓋資料線130與光感測結構150之間區域。第一遮光層170不與延伸電極180直接接觸(或者說,第一遮光層170與延伸電極180分開),也不與光感測結構150的下電極152直接接觸(或者說,第一遮光層170與光感測結構150的下電極152分開)。由於第一遮光層170不與延伸電極180和光感測結構150的下電極152直接接觸,因此可以避免延伸電極180以及光感測結構150的下電極152之間經由第一遮光層170產生漏電流。至於其他元件與細節,均與第1A圖、第1B圖以及第1C圖的實施例,不再重複敘述之。FIG. 4A is a schematic diagram of a
第5A圖為根據本揭露的另一些實施例的光感測器100之示意圖。第5B圖為根據第5A圖中線段B-B’的剖面側視圖。第5C圖為根據第5A圖中線段C-C’的剖面側視圖。請參照第5A圖、第5B圖以及第5C圖,除了前述討論的幾種設置第一遮光層170的實施例之外,亦可以設置多個不相連的遮光層來達到避免漏電流的目的。在一些實施例中,第一遮光層170以及第二遮光層172被設置在光感測器100中。在一些實施例中,光感測結構150的下電極152至少部分覆蓋在第一遮光層170上,延伸電極180至少部分覆蓋在第二遮光層172上。第一遮光層170與第二遮光層172分開。換句話說,光感測器100中分別設置的第一遮光層170與第二遮光層172彼此不相連。第一遮光層170與光感測結構150的下電極152部分的重疊,並且用於遮蔽部分的資料線130與光感測結構150之間的區域以及光感測結構150下方區域。第二遮光層172部分地與延伸電極180重疊並且用於遮蔽資料線130通孔下方區域以及部分的資料線130與光感測結構150之間的區域。同時,第一遮光層170與第二遮光層172分別與閘極線120以及資料線130重疊,但不延伸超過閘極線120或資料線130的另一個邊緣。另一方面,在第5B圖以及第5C圖的剖面視角中,第一遮光層170的上表面170a以及第二遮光層172的上表面172a皆低於光感測結構150的上表面150a。FIG. 5A is a schematic diagram of a
在一些實施例中,第一遮光層170、第二遮光層172與薄膜電晶體140的通道區146具有相同的半導體材料。具體來說,請參照第5C圖,由於第一遮光層170、第二遮光層172以及薄膜電晶體140的通道區146(位於源極144以及汲極148之間)由相同半導體材料構成,因此可以在相同製程中形成。在一些實施例中,用於形成第一遮光層170、第二遮光層172以及通道區146的材料可以是或包含非晶矽。然而,在其他實施例中,其他合適的材料亦可以被使用。用於形成第一遮光層170、第二遮光層172以及通道區146的材料相同將可以簡化光感測器100的製造步驟,並同時降低光感測器100的反光率。在第一遮光層170與第二遮光層172為半導體材料的實施例中,因為鋪設第一遮光層170與第二遮光層172的區域可能產生漏電流,因此第一遮光層170與第二遮光層172可彼此分離以避免漏電流問題產生。至於其他元件與細節,均與第1A圖、第1B圖以及第1C圖的實施例,不再重複敘述之。In some embodiments, the first
第6圖為根據本揭露的另一些實施例的光感測器100之示意圖。請參照第6圖,相較於前述針對第1A圖、第1B圖以及第1C圖的實施例,第6圖的光感測器100進一步包含反射層200位於基板110下。具體來說,光感測器100將可以搭配反射層200使用。在一些實施例中,反射層200將被設置在基板110下方,並且可以透過黏貼的方式與基板110固定。當光感測器100同時設置有遮光層(例如,第一遮光層170)以及反射層200,將可以更進一步地降低光感測器100的反射光,以確保光感測器100的感測結果不被反射光所影響。至於其他元件與細節,均與第1A圖、第1B圖以及第1C圖的實施例,不再重複敘述之。此外,其餘各實施例的光感測器100也都可以以類似的配置搭配反射層200使用。FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of a
以上對於本揭露的具體實施方式之詳述,可以明顯地看出,於本揭露的一些實施例的光感測器中,透過使用相同材料在單一製程中形成第一遮光層與薄膜電晶體的通道區,進一步簡化製程以及光感測器的結構。適當的將第一遮光層覆蓋光感測器的不同區域以減少光感測器各區域的光線被基板反射回光感測器內部,導致光感測器的感測結果受到影響。透過適當的隔開第一遮光層、薄膜電晶體以及光感測結構,以避免第一遮光層在光感測器內部形成漏電流的路徑。配合在光感測器上設置反射層與第一遮光層以確保光感測器的感測結果不被反射光所影響。From the above detailed description of the specific embodiments of the present disclosure, it can be clearly seen that in the photo sensors of some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first light-shielding layer and the thin film transistor are formed in a single process by using the same material. channel area to further simplify the manufacturing process and the structure of the light sensor. Appropriately cover different areas of the photo sensor with the first light-shielding layer to reduce light from each area of the photo sensor being reflected back into the photo sensor by the substrate, causing the sensing results of the photo sensor to be affected. By properly separating the first light-shielding layer, the thin film transistor and the light sensing structure, the first light-shielding layer can be prevented from forming a leakage current path inside the photo sensor. The reflective layer and the first light-shielding layer are cooperatively provided on the light sensor to ensure that the sensing result of the light sensor is not affected by reflected light.
