在该步骤中: 在完成步骤 S4 ) 的基板 1 上形成钝化层膜 (PVX
Deposition ), 可利用普通掩模板通过一次构图工艺在所述源极层 6、 未被所 述源极层 6覆盖的部分复合层 5以及未被所述复合层 5覆盖的部分漏极层上 形成包括钝化层 7的图形, 并采用刻蚀方式在所述钝化层 7中形成包括过孔 9 的图形。 其中, 采用沉积、 溅射或热蒸发的方法形成钝化层膜。 当然, 也 可采用其他能够实现本结构的掩模板。 步骤 S6 ): 在所述钝化层 7上方形成包括像素电极层 8的图形, 所述漏 极层 3与所述像素电极层 8通过所述过孔 9连接。
在该步骤中, 在完成步骤 S5 )的基板 1上形成透明导电膜, 可利用普通 掩模板通过一次构图工艺在所述钝化层 7上方形成包括像素电极层 8的图形, 所述漏极层 3与所述像素电极层 8通过过孔 9连接; 其中, 采用沉积、 溅射 或热蒸发的方法形成透明导电膜。 当然, 也可采用其他能够实现本结构的掩 模板。 本实施例中, 薄膜晶体管中的有源层采用了金属氧化物半导体, 例如氧 化铟镓辞(IGZO )、 氧化铟辞、 氧化铟锡、 氧化铟镓锡中的至少一种材料形 成, 使得源极层与漏极层之间的电子迁移率增加, 因此能获得较好的源极层 与漏极层之间的电子迁移率。
本实施例还提供一种显示装置, 包括上述的阵列基板, 如图 4所示, 在 该阵列基板上布置有多个 TFT的阵列。 实施例 2:
本实施例与实施例 1的区别在于, 本实施例薄膜晶体管以及相应的阵列 基板中的有源层采用非晶硅材料形成。
在本实施例中, 所述复合层包括有源层以及设置于所述有源层上方的欧 姆接触层,所述有源层采用非晶硅材料形成,所述有源层的厚度范围为 200 ~ 3000 A; 所述欧姆接触层采用掺杂磷元素的非晶硅材料形成, 所述欧姆接触 层的厚度范围为 200 ~ 3000 A。
本实施例中薄膜晶体管阵列基板的制备方法具体可参考实施例 1。 区别 在于, 所述步骤 S3 )具体为: 在完成步骤 S2 ) 的基板上形成包括复合层的 图形, 所述复合层包括有源层以及设置于所述有源层上方的欧姆接触层(形 成过程中分别依次沉积 ),利用普通掩模板通过一次构图工艺在所述栅极绝缘 层与部分所述漏极层上形成复合层。
本实施例中, 有源层采用了非晶硅材料形成, 因此源极层与漏极层之间 的电子迁移率相对实施例 1较小。 实施例 1、 2的薄膜晶体管以及相应的阵列基板中,通过将源极与漏极形 成在不同的层上(具体的是将漏极层与栅极层做在同一层, 源极层与数据线 做在同一层)。 因此, 在薄膜晶体管、 阵列基板的制备方法中, 在源极层与漏 极层之间不再需要通过刻蚀形成沟道的步骤, 从而从根本上避免了源极与漏 极发生桥连的问题, 降低了因工艺问题造成的像素不良而导致的亮点, 提高 了产品良率。 以上所述仅是本发明的示范性实施方式, 而非用于限制本发明的保护范 围, 本发明的保护范围由所附的权利要求确定。
