优选的,如图2所示,所述气体传输管104的输出端104b设置有风刀1041,可一并参考图3所示,所述风刀1041包括风刀进气口1041a和风刀出气口1041b,其中所述风刀出气口1041b与所述玻璃基板103平行设置,以在玻璃基板103表面均匀吹出臭氧气体。
也就是说,在所述基板清洗槽101出口设置的气体传输管104直接连接在臭氧气体生成装置102上,即直接让清洗后的玻璃基板103接触臭氧气体。优选的,还可以通过调节臭氧气体的压力,将玻璃基板103表面药液过滤干净。
进一步的,如图3所示的风刀结构,所述风刀出气口1041b的宽度大于所述玻璃基板103的宽度;所述风刀出气口1041b为两个以上出气孔均匀设置;其中,两个所述出气孔之间的间隙为0.3mm至0.8mm,优选的,所述出气孔之间的间隙可以为0.5mm,以使臭氧气体从所述风刀出气口1041b均匀吹出。
容易想到的是,所述基板清洗槽101中设置有用于传送玻璃基板103的传送装置105,当所述玻璃基板103在所述基板清洗槽101清洗完后,开启所述传送装置105,传送装置105将所述玻璃基板103传送至所述风刀出气口1041b下方。
其中,所述风刀可以认为是一除尘除水设置,可以采用涡流风机或高压离心风机驱动(代替高能耗的压缩空气CDA),它使用不同的风机与风刀配合,可及时把物体表面的尘屑及水分吹干。
可以理解的是,低温多晶硅技术的制程中,在激光退火处理之前,玻璃基板上是非晶硅,其需要经过清洗剂(如氢氟酸HF)进行清洗,将玻璃基板表面的硅膜洗干净,其中氢氟酸用于将玻璃基板上的毛刺洗掉;本发明方案中,在激光退火处理之前,所述玻璃基板103放置于基板清洗槽101里,并对所述玻璃基板103进行清洗,主要的,利用氢氟酸HF对玻璃基板103表面的进行刻蚀;玻璃基板103经过氢氟酸清洗剂清洗完后,开启所述臭氧气体生成装置102,利用风刀1041向所述玻璃基板表面均匀吹臭氧气体,即直接让清洗后的玻璃基板103 接触臭氧气体,从而使玻璃基板103表面形成更加均匀有效的氧化膜,使激光退火得出结晶效果更好的多晶硅(即低温多晶硅薄膜)。
由上述可知,本发明实施例提供的低温多晶硅薄膜的制备机构,所述基板清洗槽101通过气体传输管104直接与臭氧气体生成装置102连接,不仅可以将清洗后的玻璃基板103表面的残留药液吹掉,还可以让清洗后的玻璃基板103直接接触臭氧气体,使得玻璃基板103表面的硅膜更加平滑无杂质,经过氢氟酸后第一时间接触臭氧气体使表面形成的氧化膜更加均匀,从而使激光退火处理得到的低温多晶硅薄膜的结晶效果更加优异;并且,所述制备机构设计简单,大大的节省了制备成本。
为便于更好的实施本发明实施例提供的低温多晶硅薄膜的制备机构,本发明实施例还提供一种低温多晶硅薄膜的制备方法。其中名词的含义与上述低温多晶硅薄膜的制备机构中相同,具体实现细节可以参考低温多晶硅薄膜的制备机构实施例中的说明。
请参考图4,图4为本发明提供的低温多晶硅薄膜的制备方法的流程示意图,所述低温多晶硅薄膜的制备方法应用于上述提供的低温多晶硅薄膜的制备机构,可一并参考图1、图2以及图3,所述低温多晶硅薄膜的制备方法的步骤包括:
在步骤S401中,在玻璃基板进行激光退火处理前,使用清洗液对所述玻璃基板进行清洗。
在步骤S402中,在清洗后的玻璃基板的表面,均匀吹臭氧气体,以除去所述玻璃基板的表面的残留液体,并在所述清洗后的玻璃基板的表面形成氧化膜。
在步骤S403中,对形成氧化膜的玻璃基板进行激光退火处理,在激光退火处理的玻璃基板的表面形成低温多晶硅薄膜。
进一步的,所述在清洗后的玻璃基板的表面,均匀吹臭氧气体(即步骤402)可以具体包括:对清洗后的玻璃基板进行水平移动,并在移动的同时利用风刀在清洗后的玻璃基板的表面,均匀吹臭氧气体。其中,优选的,所述清洗液为氢氟酸。
更进一步的,调节臭氧气体压力可以将玻璃基板表面药液过滤干净;本发明实施例中,玻璃基板在氢氟酸清洗之后可以第一时间接触臭氧气体;并且,风刀吹出臭氧气体更均匀,浓度更高,使得氧化膜更均匀。
可以理解的是,低温多晶硅技术的制程中,在激光退火处理之前,玻璃基板上是非晶硅,其需要经过清洗剂(如氢氟酸HF)进行清洗,将玻璃基板表面的硅膜洗干净,其中氢氟酸用于将玻璃基板上的毛刺洗掉;本发明方案中,可结合参考图2和图3,在激光退火处理之前,所述玻璃基板103放置于基板清洗槽101里,并对所述玻璃基板103进行清洗,主要的,利用氢氟酸HF对玻璃基板103表面的进行刻蚀;玻璃基板103经过氢氟酸清洗剂清洗完后,开启所述臭氧气体生成装置102,利用风刀1041向所述玻璃基板表面均匀吹臭氧气体,即直接让清洗后的玻璃基板103 接触臭氧气体,从而使玻璃基板103表面形成更加均匀有效的氧化膜,使激光退火得出结晶效果更好的多晶硅(即低温多晶硅薄膜)。
由上述可知,本发明实施例提供的低温多晶硅薄膜的制备方法,由于应用的制备机构中,基板清洗槽通过气体传输管直接与臭氧气体生成装置连接,不仅可以将清洗后的玻璃基板表面的残留药液吹掉,还可以让清洗后的玻璃基板直接接触臭氧气体,使得玻璃基板表面的硅膜更加平滑无杂质,经过氢氟酸后第一时间接触臭氧气体使表面形成的氧化膜更加均匀,从而使激光退火处理得到的低温多晶硅薄膜的结晶效果更加优异。
另可以理解的是,本发明还提供一种采用上述低温多晶硅薄膜的制备方法制备出来的低温多晶硅薄膜,其中优选的,所述低温多晶硅薄膜厚度为30至100nm。
