附图说明
为了更清楚地说明本发明实施例的技术方案, 下面将对实施例的附图作 简单地介绍,显而易见地,下面描述中的附图仅仅涉及本发明的一些实施例, 而非对本发明的限制。
图 1为本发明实施例二提供的薄膜晶体管制作方法的流程示意图; 图 2为本发明实施例四提供的一种阵列基板制作方法的流程示意图; 图 3为本发明实施例六提供的另一种阵列基板制作方法的流程示意图; 图 4a-图 4i为本发明实施例四提供的阵列基板制作过程中的结构示意图; 图 5a-图 5i为本发明实施例六提供的阵列基板制作过程中的结构示意图。 具体实施方式
为使本发明实施例的目的、 技术方案和优点更加清楚, 下面将结合本发 明实施例中的附图, 对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、 完整地描述, 显然, 所描述的实施例仅仅是本发明一部分实施例, 而不是全部的实施例。 基于本发明中的实施例, 本领域普通技术人员在没有作出创造性劳动的前提 下所获得的所有其他实施例, 都属于本发明保护的范围。
本申请的发明人注意到, 在阵列基板之中薄膜晶体管釆用源极和漏极与 有源层进行搭接的方式时,源极、漏极与有源层需要釆用两次构图工艺制作, 这增加了构图工艺的数量; 并且, 栅极和源极、 漏极之间正对面积比较大, 这导致了栅极和源极、 漏极之间的耦合电容比较大, 从而影响了薄膜晶体管 的性能。
在本发明实施例提供的 TFT及其制作方法、 阵列基板及其制作方法、 X 射线探测器中, 源极、 漏极、 有源层均是在同一半导体层薄膜上形成, 使得 源极、 漏极与有源层位于同一层。 源极、 漏极以及有源层的图案是通过一次 构图工艺形成, 这样可以减少构图工艺的数量; 而且, 由于源极、 漏极与有 源层同层设置, 因此相比三者不同层设置而言, 在源极和漏极的连线方向上 有源层具有同样宽度时, 源极、 漏极与栅极的正对面积减小, 使得源极、 漏 极与栅极之间的耦合电容降低, 从而提高薄膜晶体管的性能。
实施例一
本实施例提供了一种薄膜晶体管, 包括栅极、 源极、 漏极、 有源层和栅 绝缘层, 源极和漏极位于所述有源层的两侧, 且源极和漏极与有源层位于同 一层。
本实施例以底栅为例, 栅极位于有源层的下方; 当然本发明的实施例也 可以釆用顶栅的结构, 即栅极位于有源层的上方, 具体结构在此不再赘述。 参照图 4g, 本实施例提供了一种薄膜晶体管包括: 栅极 2a' 、 源极 4c' 、 漏极 4b' 、 有源层 4a' 和栅绝缘层 3' , 源极 4c' 、 漏极 4b' 位于有源层 4a' 的两侧且和有源层位于同一层。 源极、 漏极以及有源层的图案是通过一 次构图工艺形成(因此是一体结构的) , 这样可以减少构图工艺的数量, 而 且源极 4c' 、 漏极 4b' 与栅极 2a' 之间只存在栅绝缘层 3' 而不存在作为有 源层的半导体层, 相比源漏极与栅极之间同时存在栅绝缘层和半导体层的结 构而言, 本发明实施例可以减小源极 4c' 、 漏极 4c与栅极 2a' 之间的介电 常数, 降低源、 漏极与栅极之间的耦合电容, 提高薄膜晶体管的性能。
另外, 在源极和漏极的连线方向上, 在具有相同宽度(即图面所示的左 右方向的距离) 的有源层的情况下, 源极 4c' 、 漏极 4b' 和有源层 4a' 同 层设置相比不同层设置而言, 源极 4c'、 漏极 4b'与栅极 2a' 的正对面积减小, 这样也可以降低源、 漏极与栅极之间的耦合电容, 提高薄膜晶体管的性能。
为了能够进一步提高薄膜晶体管的性能, 例如, 在本发明至少一个实施 例中, 在源极和漏极的连线方向上, 可以使有源层 4a' 的宽度和栅极 2a' 的 宽度一致, 这样可以使得源极 4c' 、 漏极 4b' 与栅极 2a' 之间不存在正对 面积, 进而可以进一步降低源漏极与栅极之间的耦合电容。
需要说明的是, 本发明实施中由于源极、 漏极与栅极之间没有半导体层 从而使得它们之间的距离减小。 通常情况下, 距离的变化也会引起两极之间 的电容发生变化, 但是尽管如此, 本发明的实施例中由于形成半导体层的薄 膜的厚度非常地薄, 因此源极、 漏极与栅极之间的距离变化也非常地微小, 从而对源、 漏极与栅极之间的耦合电容的影响极其小或可以忽略不计。
实施例二
本实施例提供了一种如实施例一所述的薄膜晶体管的制作方法, 包括: 依次形成半导体层薄膜、 钝化遮挡层薄膜; 通过一次构图工艺形成包括钝化 遮挡层的图形, 使半导体层薄膜中被钝化遮挡层遮挡的部分形成有源层的图 形; 再通过例如离子掺杂工艺使半导体层薄膜中未被钝化遮挡层遮挡的部分 形成包括源极和漏极的图形。
本实施例以底栅为例, 栅极位于有源层的下方; 当然本发明实施例也可 以釆用顶栅的结构, 即栅极位于有源层的上方, 具体结构在此不再赘述如图 1 所示, 根据实施例一提供的薄膜晶体管, 本实施例提供了一种制作该薄膜 晶体管结构的方法, 包括如下步骤:
S10、 参照图 4a, 在基板 1' 上形成栅极金属薄膜, 通过构图工艺形成包 括栅极 2a' 的图形。
形成薄膜通常有沉积、 涂敷、 溅射等多种方式, 构图工艺通常包括光刻 胶涂敷、 曝光、 显影、 刻蚀、 光刻胶剥离等工艺。
首先, 可以釆用溅射或热蒸发的方法在基板上沉积一层栅极金属薄膜, 基板可以是透明玻璃基板也可以是石英基板。栅极金属薄膜可以使用 Cr、 W、 Ti、 Ta、 Mo、 Al、 Cu等金属及其合金, 当然, 栅极金属薄膜也可以由多层 金属薄膜组成, 本发明在此不做限定。
其次, 在栅极金属薄膜上涂覆光刻胶, 并釆用普通掩模板进行曝光, 在 基板 V 上形成完全曝光区域和完全未曝光区域; 通过显影去除完全曝光区 域内的光刻胶, 使完全曝光区域内的栅极金属薄膜露出, 并保留完全未曝光 区域内的光刻胶。
然后, 通过刻蚀工艺去除完全曝光区域内露出的栅极金属薄膜, 再通过 剥离工艺去除完全未曝光区域内的光刻胶, 露出的栅极金属薄膜形成如图 4a 所示的包括栅极 2a' 、 栅线(图中未示)的图形。 此时, 例如栅线和栅极一 体形成。
Sl l、 依次形成栅绝缘层薄膜、 半导体层薄膜、 钝化遮挡层薄膜。
首先, 在形成栅极 2a' 的基板 1' 上沉积栅绝缘层薄膜、 非晶硅薄膜, 栅绝缘层薄膜可以选用氧化物、 氮化物或者氮氧化合物, 例如二氧化硅或氮 化硅, 非晶硅薄膜例如可以选用 a-si。
接着, 通过激光照射工艺对非晶硅薄膜进行激光照射, 使非晶硅薄膜转 化为多晶硅薄膜, 该多晶硅薄膜形成本步骤所需要的半导体层薄膜。 从上述 内容可以看出, 与通常的由非晶硅薄膜和掺杂非晶硅(如 n+a-si )薄膜形成 的半导体层薄膜不同, 此处的半导体层薄膜是由沉积的非晶硅薄膜通过激光 照射形成的多晶硅薄膜, 这样能够为形成有源层 4a' , 以及对多晶硅薄膜进 行离子掺杂工艺做铺垫。
对于上述激光照射工艺而言, 可以釆用激光退火的高温氧化工艺, 使非 晶硅形成高温多晶硅。 不过这种处理过程的温度通常会超过 1000 °C, 通常玻 璃基板会在高温下发生软化熔融,因此为了保证基板能够承受如此高的温度, 此时基板选用石英基板。 或者, 可以釆用低温照射工艺, 它以准分子激光作 为热源, 激光经过透射系统后, 会产生能量均勾分布的激光束并被照射在形 成有非晶硅薄膜上, 使非晶硅转化成为低温多晶硅。 此工艺与前者相比, 整 个处理过程可以在 200-400 °C下完成, 因此不但能够使石英基板可以承受, 而且普通的玻璃基板也可承受。 另外, 低温多晶硅具有电子迁移速率快, 薄 膜电路面积更小, 分辨率高以及结构简单、 性能稳定等诸多优点。 因此, 在 一个示例中, 本发明实施例釆用后者(低温照射工艺) 。
然后, 在沉积有多晶硅薄膜(半导体层薄膜) 的基板上沉积钝化遮挡层 薄膜。 钝化遮挡层薄膜可以选用氧化物、 氮化物或者氮氧化合物, 例如二氧 化硅或氮化硅。
S12、 通过一次构图工艺形成包括钝化遮挡层 5' 的图形, 使所述半导体 层薄膜中被所述钝化遮挡层 5' 遮挡的部分形成有源层 4a' 的图形。
参照图 4b和图 4c以及图 4f和图 4g, 可以通过一次构图工艺形成包括 有源层 4' 以及钝化遮挡层 5' 的图形, 使所述半导体层 4' 中被所述钝化遮 挡层 5'遮挡的部分形成有源层 4a'的图形,其它未被遮挡的部分与源极 4c 、 漏极 4b' 和数据线的图形相同。 这里对半导体层 4' (包括有源层 4a' 、 源 极 4c' 、 漏极 4b' 、 数据线的图形)以及钝化遮挡层 5' 的图形的形成方式 进行具体说明。
首先, 如图 4d所示, 在钝化遮挡层 5' 上涂覆光刻胶 9' , 并使用例如 双色调掩模板进行曝光, 使基板 1' 上与有源层 4a' 对应的区域为完全未曝 光区域, 与源极 4c' 、 漏极 4b' 的图形对应的区域为部分曝光区域, 其余区 域为完全曝光区域, 再通过显影去除完全曝光区域的光刻胶, 并保留完全未 曝光区域的光刻胶、 减薄部分曝光区域的光刻胶的厚度。
然后, 通过刻蚀工艺去除完全曝光区域的钝化遮挡层薄膜、 半导体层薄 膜, 保留 (未被刻蚀)部分曝光区域和完全未曝光区域内的钝化遮挡层薄膜 半导体层薄膜、栅绝缘层薄膜,进而可以形成所述半导体层 4' 、栅绝缘层 3' 的图形, 而形成的半导体层的图形与有源层 4a' 、 源极 4c' 、 漏极 4b' 、 数据线的数据层图形相同。
接下来, 通过灰化工艺去除部分曝光区域的光刻胶 Ψ , 露出该区域内 的钝化遮挡层薄膜, 形成图 4e所示的状态。
再通过刻蚀工艺去除部分曝光区域露出的钝化遮挡层薄膜, 保留且露出 该区域内的半导体层, 露出的半导体层与源极 4c' 、 漏极 4b' 以及数据线的 图形相同, 这样实现了源极 4c' 、 漏极 4b' 以及数据线的图形的预制作, 以 使露出的半导体层在进行下述的离子掺杂工艺后形成导体。 然后, 剥离完全未曝光区域内的光刻胶 9' , 露出的钝化遮挡层薄膜形 成所述钝化遮挡层 5' , 该区域内保留且未露出的半导体层与有源层图形相 同, 并形成图 4f所示的状态。
另外, 可以理解的是, 上述钝化遮挡层 5' 与栅极 2a' 相对, 才使得半 导体层薄膜中被钝化层遮挡的部分形成有源层 4a' 。 有源层 4a' 的宽度可以 与栅极 2a' 的宽度相同 (如图 4g所示的宽度 w ), 这样可以使得源极 4c' 、 漏极 4b' 与栅极 2a' 之间不存在正对面积, 进而可以进一步降低源极、 漏极 与栅极之间的耦合电容, 提高薄膜晶体管的性能。
S13、 通过离子掺杂工艺使半导体层薄膜中未被所述钝化遮挡层遮挡的 部分形成包括源极 4c' 、 漏极 4b' 以及数据线(图中未示) 的图形。
步骤 S13中釆用的离子掺杂工艺可以选用化学沉积过程掺杂、扩散掺杂、 或离子注入掺杂。 例如, 本发明实施例中釆用离子注入掺杂。 例如, 通过离 子注入设备对多晶硅层(半导体层) 中未被钝化遮挡层 5' 遮挡的部分进行 离子注入。 一般而言, 注入的离子浓度越高, 源极 4c 、 漏极 4b' 以及数据 线形成的导体的性能越好, 且与有源层 4a' 的欧姆接触越好。 但是需要强调 的是, 注入的离子浓度也并不是越高越好, 还需要根据实际的薄膜晶体管的 制作方法及使用等情况而设定, 本发明对此不作具体限定。
通过以上步骤可以知道, 源极 4c' 、 漏极 4b' 、 有源层 4a' 均是在同 一半导体层薄膜上形成, 使得源极 4c' 、 漏极 4b' 与有源层 4a' 位于同层, 这样源极 4c' 、 漏极 4b' 与栅极 2a' 之间只存在栅绝缘层 3' 而不存在半导 体层。 相比源极、 漏极与栅极之间同时存在栅绝缘层和半导体层的结构, 本 发明实施例可以减小源极、 漏极与栅极之间的介电常数, 降低源漏极与栅极 之间的耦合电容, 提高薄膜晶体管的性能。
需要强调的是, 以上步骤可以通过一次构图工艺便能够实现栅绝缘层、 有源层、 源极、 漏极、 数据线以及钝化遮挡层图形的制作, 有利于减少制作 过程中的构图工艺的数量。 另外, 本发明实施例提供的薄膜晶体管的制作方 法在能够减少构图工艺数量同时,还能够使制作出的薄膜晶体管的性能提高。
另外, 本发明实施例提供的薄膜晶体管可以应用于显示器中的阵列基板 中, 也可以应用于如 X射线探测器中的阵列基板(或可称之为探测基板) ; 相应地, 本发明实施例提供的薄膜晶体管的制作方法不仅可以适用于显示器 中的阵列基板的制作工艺中,还可以应用于如 X射线探测器中的阵列基板的 制作工艺中, 以下将以这两种类型的阵列基板的结构及制作方法为例进行分 别描述。
实施例三
本实施例提供了一种阵列基板, 该阵列基板包括基板、 薄膜晶体管、 钝 化层、 第一像素电极, 所述薄膜晶体管中的源极和漏极位于有源层的两侧, 且所述源极和所述漏极与所述有源层位于同一层, 所述第一像素电极与所述 漏极电连接。
本实施例以底栅为例, 栅极位于有源层的下方; 当然本发明实施例也可 以釆用顶栅的结构, 关于顶栅的结构是栅极位于有源层的上方, 具体结构在 此不再赘述。 如图 4i所示, 本实施例提供了一种阵列基板, 包括基板 1' 、 栅极 2a' 、 源极 4c' 、 漏极 4b' 、 有源层 4a' 和栅绝缘层 3' 、 钝化层 6' 、 第一像素电极 7' , 所述源极 4c' 、 所述漏极 4b' 位于所述有源层 4a' 的两 侧、 且和所述有源层 4a' 位于同一层, 源极 4c' 与第一像素电极 7' 电连接。
源极 4c 、 漏极 4b' 与有源层 4a' 的图案是通过一次构图工艺形成, 减少了构图工艺的数量, 降低了制作成本。
由于源极 4c' 、 漏极 4b' 与有源层 4a' 同层设置, 因此源极 4c 、 漏 4c' 极与栅极 4a' 之间只存在栅绝缘层 3' 而不存在半导体层, 相比源漏极 与栅极之间同时存在栅绝缘层和半导体层的结构, 本发明实施例可以减小源 极、 漏极与栅极之间的介电常数, 降低源、 漏极与栅极之间的耦合电容, 提 高薄膜晶体管的性能。
另外需要说明的是, 在源极和漏极的连线方向上, 在具有相同宽度(即 图面所示的左右方向的距离) 的有源层的情况下, 源极、 漏极和有源层同层 设置相比不同层设置而言与栅极的正对面积减小, 这样也可以降低源、 漏极 与栅极之间的耦合电容, 提高薄膜晶体管的性能。
为了能够进一步提高薄膜晶体管的性能, 例如, 在源极和漏极的连线方 向上, 可以使有源层 4a' 的宽度和栅极 2a' 的宽度一致, 这可以使得源极、 漏极与栅极之间不存在正对面积, 进而可以进一步降低源漏极与栅极之间的 耦合电容。
实施例四 本实施例提供了一种如实施例三中所述的阵列基板的制作方法, 包括: 依次形成半导体层薄膜、 钝化遮挡层薄膜; 通过一次构图工艺形成包括 钝化遮挡层的图形, 使半导体层薄膜中被钝化遮挡层遮挡的部分形成有源层 的图形; 通过离子掺杂工艺使半导体层薄膜中未被钝化遮挡层遮挡的部分形 成包括源极和漏极的图形, 所述源极和所述漏极位于所述有源层的两侧; 形 成钝化层薄膜,通过构图工艺形成包括第一过孔的图形;形成像素电极薄膜, 通过构图工艺形成包括第一像素电极的图形, 使第一像素电极通过所述第一 过孔与漏极电连接。
本实施例以底栅为例, 栅极位于有源层的下方; 当然本发明实施例也可 以釆用顶栅的结构, 关于顶栅的结构是栅极位于有源层的上方, 具体结构在 此不再赘述。 如图 2所示, 根据实施例三提供的阵列基板, 本实施例提供了 一种制作该阵列基板的方法, 包括如下步骤:
S20、 在基板: T 上形成栅极金属薄膜, 通过构图工艺形成包括栅极 2a' 的图形。
S21、 依次形成栅绝缘层薄膜、 半导体层薄膜、 钝化遮挡层薄膜。
522、 通过一次构图工艺形成包括钝化遮挡层 5' 的图形, 使所述半导体 层薄膜中被所述钝化遮挡层 5' 遮挡的部分形成有源层 4a' 的图形。
523、通过离子掺杂工艺使半导体层薄膜中未被所述钝化遮挡层 5' 遮挡 的部分形成包括源极 4c' 和漏极 4b' 的图形。
步骤 S20-步骤 S23可参照实施例二中的步骤 S10-步骤 S13 , 对应的附图
5d和 5e中, 光刻胶的标记为 16, 本实施例不再对此进行重复描述。
524、 如图 4h所示, 形成钝化层薄膜, 通过构图工艺形成包括第一过孔 10' 的图形。 例如, 涂覆钝化层薄膜, 并通过构图工艺形成图 4h所示的钝化 层 6' 并在钝化层 6' 上形成露出部分源极的第一过孔 10' 。 该钝化层薄膜 可以选用有机树脂、 氧化物、 氮化物或者氮氧化合物, 例如二氧化硅或氮化 硅。
525、 形成像素电极薄膜, 通过构图工艺形成包括第一像素电极 的图 形,使所述第一像素电极 7' 通过所述第一过孔 10' 与所述漏极 4b' 电连接。 例如, 在上述钝化层上沉积像素电极薄膜, 通过构图工艺形成图 4i所示的包 括第一像素电极 的图形, 第一像素电极 通过第一过孔 10' 与漏极 4b' 连接。 像素电极薄膜可以选用 ΙΤΟ、 ΙΖΟ或其它透明的导电树脂、 石墨烯薄 膜、 碳纳米管薄膜等。
S26、 再次参照图 4i, 在形成有第一像素电极的基板 1' 上沉积外围钝化 层薄膜, 通过构图工艺形成外围钝化层 8' 。 本步骤中沉积的外围钝化层薄 膜可以选用氧化物、 氮化物或者氮氧化合物。
实施例五
本实施例中提供了一种可用于形成如 X射线探测器的阵列基板,本实施 例以底栅为例, 栅极位于有源层的下方; 当然本发明实施例也可以釆用顶栅 的结构,关于顶栅的结构是栅极位于有源层的上方,具体结构在此不再赘述。 如图 5i 所示, 该阵列基板与实施例三的不同之处在于: 还包括形成于源极 4c上的光电二极管 (包括 N型非晶硅层膜 6、 本征非晶型硅层膜 7、 P型非 晶硅层膜 8以及透明导电层 9 ) , 这样在 X射线的照射下, 探测器的闪烁体 层或荧光体层将 X射线光子转换为可见光, 然后在光电二极管的作用下将可 见光转换为电信号, 薄膜晶体管读取电信号并将电信号输出得到显示图像, 在薄膜晶体管的性能提高的基础上,还能够提高 X射线探测器的检测精确度 和灵敏度。
由于与光电二极管连接的源极 4c为掺杂的多晶硅,可能会有未转化的光 信号透过去, 因此本实施例中还包括与栅极 2a同层设置的光线遮挡板 2b, 该光线遮挡板 2b位于光电二极管的正下方, 这样从透过源极 4c未转化的光 信号可以被光线遮挡板 2b遮挡并反射重新进入光电二极管,保证光电二极管 能够完全转化光信号。
实施例六
本实施例以底栅为例, 栅极位于有源层的下方; 当然本发明实施例也可 以釆用顶栅的结构, 关于顶栅的结构是栅极位于有源层的上方, 具体结构在 此不再赘述。 如图 3所示, 本实施例提供了一种制作如实施例五所述的阵列 基板的制作方法, 包括如下步骤:
S30、 如图 5a所示, 在基板 1上形成栅极金属薄膜, 通过构图工艺形成 包括栅极 2a、 光线遮挡板 2b的图形。 该步骤与实施例二的步骤 S10或实施 例四的步骤 S20的区别在于: 在形成栅极 2a、 栅线的图形的同时还一并形成 光线遮挡板 2b的图形。 531、 依次形成栅绝缘层薄膜、 半导体层薄膜、 钝化遮挡层薄膜。
532、 如图 5b和图 5c所示, 通过一次构图工艺形成包括半导体层 4、 钝 化遮挡层 5的图形, 使所述半导体层薄膜中被所述钝化遮挡层 5遮挡的部分 形成有源层 4a的图形。
S33、 通过离子掺杂工艺使半导体层薄膜中未被所述钝化遮挡层 5遮挡 的部分形成包括漏极 4b和源极 4c的图形。
结合图 5d-图 5g, 步骤 S31-步骤 S33可参照实施例二中的步骤 S11-步骤 S13 , 本实施例也不再对此进行重复描述。
S34、 依次形成光电二极管的多层薄膜, 通过构图工艺在所述源极 4c上 形成光电二极管的图形。 例如, 如图 5h所示, 在本步骤中, 首先, 连续沉积 N型非晶硅层膜 6、 本征非晶型硅层膜 7、 P型非晶硅层膜 8以及透明导电层 薄膜 9, 透明导电薄膜 9可以选用 ITO、 ΙΖΟ或其它透明的导电树脂、 石墨 烯薄膜、碳纳米管薄膜等。 然后, 通过构图工艺在源极 4c上形成光电二极管 的图形。光电二极管位于光线遮挡板 2b的正上方,这是由于漏极是由多晶硅 通过离子掺杂形成的导体, 而并非实际意义的金属, 因此源极 4c不能很好地 对由光电二极管接收到的光信号进行遮挡;但是此处的光线遮挡板 2b是由金 属薄膜通过刻蚀工艺形成, 因此它可以起到遮挡并反射光信号的作用, 达到 了防止光信号损失的目的, 从而也可以解释为什么要在制作栅极 2a、 栅线的 图形的同时还一并形成光线遮挡板 2b的图形。
S35、 形成钝化层薄膜, 通过构图工艺形成包括第一过孔 14和第二过孔
15的图形。 例如, 涂覆钝化层薄膜, 并通过构图工艺形成图 5i所示的钝化 层 10并在钝化层 10上形成露出部分源极的第一过孔 14和露出光电二极管的 部分上端的第二过孔 15。 该钝化层薄膜可以选用有机树脂、 氧化物、 氮化物 或者氮氧化合物, 例如二氧化硅或氮化硅。
S36、 形成像素电极薄膜, 通过构图工艺形成包括第一像素电极 11和第 二像素电极 12的图形, 使第一像素电极 11通过第一过孔 14与漏极 4b电连 接, 第二像素电极 12通过第二过孔 15与光电二极管电连接。 例如, 在上述 钝化层薄膜上沉积像素电极薄膜,通过构图工艺形成图 5i所示的包括第一像 素电极 11和第二像素电极 12的图形, 第一像素电极 11通过第一过孔 14与 漏极 4b电连接,第二像素电极 12通过第二过孔 15与光电二极管电连接。像 素电极薄膜可以选用 ΙΤΟ、 ΙΖΟ或其它透明的导电树脂、 石墨烯薄膜、 碳纳 米管薄膜等。
S37、 再次参照图 5i, 在形成有第一像素电极 11和第二像素电极 12的 基板上沉积外围钝化层薄膜, 通过构图工艺形成外围钝化层 13。 本步骤中沉 积的外围钝化层薄膜可以选用氧化物、 氮化物或者氮氧化合物。
