Description
- This application is a divisional of application Ser. No. 13/447,295 filed Apr. 16, 2012, now allowed, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a semiconductor device and method of making the same, and more particularly, to a method of forming semiconductor device that uses a non-implant process to form a semiconductor device with low resistant doped layers.
- 2. Description of the Prior Art
- Compared with amorphous silicon thin film transistor device, polycrystalline silicon thin film transistor device exhibits superior electrical property due to its high electrical mobility. As low temp polycrystalline silicon (LTPS) process advances, some major issue, e.g. poor uniformity of large-size film, has been improved. Thus, LTPS process has been expected to be applied in large-size display panel fabrication. The conventional LTPS process, nevertheless, normally uses an ion implant process to form doped layers for reducing the contact resistance in the thin film transistor device. To introduce the ion implant apparatus into large-size display panel fabrication would result in many technique problems and high cost. Therefore, to seek an alternative method for forming low resistant doped layers has become one of the developing goals.
- In addition, LTPS thin film transistor device may be N type thin film transistor device or P type thin film transistor device when different conductive types of doped layers are used. In the conventional LTPS process, when both N type thin film transistor device and P type thin film transistor device are required, a patterned N type doped semiconductor layer and a patterned P type doped semiconductor layer are formed respectively on the same substrate, which would cause damages to the polycrystalline layer. For example, if the N type doped semiconductor layer is formed subsequent to the P type doped semiconductor layer, the polycrystalline silicon layer of the N type thin film transistor device will be damaged twice by two etching processes. Accordingly, the device characteristic of the N type thin film transistor device will be deteriorated.
- It is therefore one of the objectives of the present invention to provide a semiconductor device and method of making the same to avoid damage of the semiconductor layer, and to improve the electrical performance and yield of the semiconductor device.
- According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a method of forming semiconductor device is provided. The method of forming semiconductor device includes the following steps. A substrate having a first region and a second region is provided. A semiconductor layer is formed on the substrate. A doped layer is formed on the semiconductor layer, and the doped layer is patterned to form two first doped layers in the first region. A patterned dielectric layer is formed on the substrate, wherein the patterned dielectric layer includes a first dielectric layer disposed on the semiconductor layer of the first region and the first doped layers, and an etching stop layer disposed on the semiconductor layer of the second region. Another doped layer is formed on the semiconductor layer and the patterned dielectric layer. The another doped layer is patterned to form two second doped layers in the second region, and the semiconductor layer is patterned to form a first semiconductor layer in the first region and a second semiconductor layer in the second region. A gate insulating layer is formed on the substrate, wherein the gate insulating layer covers the second doped layers, the first dielectric layer and the etching stop layer. A first patterned conductive layer is formed on the gate insulating layer, wherein the first patterned conductive layer includes a first gate electrode disposed on the gate insulating layer of the first region, and a second gate electrode disposed on the gate insulating layer of the second region. A first source electrode and a first drain electrode electrically connected to the first doped layers respectively are formed in the first region, and a second source electrode and a second drain electrode electrically connected to the second doped layers respectively are formed in the second region.
- The method of forming semiconductor device of the present invention uses a first dielectric layer to protect the semiconductor layer of the first region from being damaged, and uses an etching stop layer to protect the semiconductor layer of the second region from being damaged when patterning the second doped layers. The first dielectric layer and the etching stop layer are defined by the same patterned dielectric layer, and therefore no extra process is required. In addition, fabrication cost can be reduced, and yield can be improved.

FIGS. 1-8 .FIGS. 1-8 are schematic diagrams illustrating a method of forming semiconductor device according to a first preferred embodiment of the present invention. As shown inFIG. 1 , asubstrate 10 is provided. Thesubstrate 10 may be a glass substrate, a plastic substrate or a quartz substrate, but not limited thereto. Thesubstrate 10 has afirst region 101 and asecond region 102. Then, asemiconductor layer 12 is formed on thesubstrate 10. Subsequently, a dopedlayer 16 is formed on thesemiconductor layer 12. In this embodiment, thesemiconductor layer 12 maybe an amorphous silicon layer, and anannealing process 14 may be carried out to convert the amorphous silicon layer into a polycrystalline silicon layer. The annealing process may be a laser annealing process, but not limited thereto. For example, theannealing process 14 may also be a thermal process. In this embodiment, the dopedlayer 16 is a P type doped semiconductor layer, but not limited thereto. The dopedlayer 16 can be formed by performing a non-implant process e.g. a chemical vapor deposition process, a physical vapor deposition process, a spin-on coating process, etc., along with introducing P type doped semiconductor material e.g. boron or boron compound during the non-implant process, but not limited thereto. After the dopedlayer 16 is formed, anannealing process 14 e.g. a laser annealing process can be performed to reduce the resistance of the dopedlayer 16. Theannealing process 14 for converting the amorphous silicon layer into a polycrystalline silicon layer and theannealing process 14 for reducing the resistance of the dopedlayer 16 can be integrated. In other words, after the dopedlayer 16 is formed, oneannealing process 14 can be performed to convert the amorphous silicon layer into a polycrystalline silicon layer, as well as reduce the resistance of the dopedlayer 16. The material of thesemiconductor layer 12 is not limited to amorphous silicon, and may be other semiconductor material. - As shown in
FIG. 2 , the dopedlayer 16 is then patterned, for example by performing a lithography and etching process to form two first dopedlayers 161 in thefirst region 101. In this embodiment, the first dopedlayers 161 are P type doped semiconductor layers. As shown inFIG. 3 , a patterneddielectric layer 18 is formed on thesubstrate 10 and the first dopedlayers 161. The patterneddielectric layer 18 includes a firstdielectric layer 181 disposed on thesemiconductor layer 12 and the firstdoped layers 161 in thefirst region 101, and anetching stop layer 182 disposed on thesemiconductor layer 12 in thesecond region 102. The firstdielectric layer 181 and a first gate insulating layer (not shown) to be formed subsequently are used as a gate insulating layer for protecting thesemiconductor layer 12 in thefirst region 101 from being damaged in the successive process. Theetching stop layer 182 is used as an etching stop layer for protecting thesemiconductor layer 12 in thesecond region 102 from being damaged when patterning second doped layers in the successive process. Thefirst dielectric layer 181 and theetching stop layer 182 are made of the samepatterned dielectric layer 18, and thus no extra process is required. The material of the patterneddielectric layer 18 maybe various types of dielectric materials such as silicon oxide, silicon nitride or silicon oxynitride, but not limited thereto. In addition, the patterneddielectric layer 18 may be a single-layered dielectric structure or a composite-layered dielectric structure. - As shown in

After the dopedlayer 20 is formed, anannealing process 14 e.g. a laser annealing process can be performed to reduce the resistance of the dopedlayer 20. Theannealing process 14 for converting the amorphous silicon layer into a polycrystalline silicon layer and theannealing process 14 for reducing the resistance of the dopedlayer 16 can be integrated with theannealing process 14 for reducing the resistance of the dopedlayer 20. In other words, after the dopedlayer 20 is formed, oneannealing process 14 can be performed to convert the amorphous silicon layer into a polycrystalline silicon layer, as well as reduce the resistance of the dopedlayer 16 and the dopedlayer 20. As shown inFIG. 5 , a lithography and etching process, for example, is performed to form a photo resist pattern (not shown) on the dopedlayer 20, and the dopedlayer 20 is etched to form two seconddoped layers 201 in thesecond region 102. In this embodiment, theetching stop layer 182 is disposed between the seconddoped layers 201, and the seconddoped layers 201 may partially cover theetching stop layer 182, but not limited. For example, the seconddoped layers 201 may be disposed on two opposite sides of theetching stop layer 182 without covering theetching stop layer 182. The seconddoped layers 201 are N type doped semiconductor layers. Theetching stop layer 182 are disposed on thesemiconductor layer 12 in thesecond region 102, and thus thesemiconductor layer 12 in thesecond region 102 would not be damaged when patterning the dopedlayer 20. Subsequently, the photo resist pattern is removed. - As shown in
FIG. 6 , the seconddoped layers 201, theetching stop layer 182 and thefirst dielectric layer 181 are used as an etching mask to pattern thesemiconductor layer 12, thereby forming afirst semiconductor layer 121 in thefirst region 101, and asecond semiconductor layer 122 in thesecond region 102. The method of patterning thesemiconductor layer 12 is not limited by the aforementioned method. In an alternative embodiment, for instance, the photo resist pattern for defining the dopedlayer 20 may be reserved until thesemiconductor layer 12 is patterned, such that the seconddoped layers 201 can be protected from being damaged when etching thesemiconductor layer 12. As shown inFIG. 7 , agate insulating layer 22 is formed on thesubstrate 10 to cover the seconddoped layers 201, thefirst dielectric layer 181 and theetching stop layer 182. The material of thegate insulating layer 22 maybe various types of dielectric materials such as silicon oxide, silicon nitride or silicon oxynitride, but not limited thereto. Thegate insulating layer 22 may be a single-layered dielectric structure or a composite-layered dielectric structure. Subsequently, a first patternedconductive layer 24 is formed on thegate insulating layer 22. The first patternedconductive layer 24 includes afirst gate electrode 241 disposed on thegate insulating layer 22 in thefirst region 101, and asecond gate electrode 242 disposed on thegate insulating layer 22 in thesecond region 102.

The material of theILD 26 may be various types of dielectric materials such as silicon oxide, silicon nitride or silicon oxynitride, but not limited thereto. Then, a plurality of first contact holes 281 are formed in theILD 26, thegate insulating layer 22 and thefirst dielectric layer 181 in thefirst region 101 to partially expose each of the firstdoped layers 161 respectively, and a plurality of second contact holes 282 are formed in theILD 26 and thegate insulating layer 22 in thesecond region 102 to partially expose each of the seconddoped layers 201 respectively.
