Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of display technologies, and in particular, to a method for fabricating low temperature polysilicon and a method for fabricating a TFT substrate using the same.
  • Low Temperature Poly-Silicon has received industry attention in liquid crystal display (LCD) and Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) technology due to its high electron mobility. It is regarded as an important material for realizing low-cost full-color flat panel display.
  • low temperature polysilicon material has the advantages of high resolution, fast reaction speed, high brightness, high aperture ratio, low energy consumption, etc., and low temperature polysilicon can be fabricated at low temperature and can be used to fabricate C-MOS circuits. Widely researched to meet the needs of high resolution, low energy consumption.
  • Low temperature polysilicon is a branch of polysilicon (poly-Si) technology.
  • the molecular structure of polycrystalline silicon is neat and directional in a grain, so the electron mobility is 200-300 times faster than the disordered amorphous silicon (a-Si), which greatly improves the plate. The speed of the reaction shown.
  • low-temperature polysilicon is mainly produced by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), solid phase crystallization (SPC), metal-induced crystallography (MIC), and metal-induced lateral crystallization (Metal-Induced Lateral). Crystallization, MILC, Excimer Laser Annealing (ELA) and other crystallization processes.
  • a method for fabricating a TFT substrate generally using low-temperature polysilicon mainly includes the following steps: Step 1. Providing a substrate 100; Step 2, depositing a buffer layer 200 on the glass substrate 100; Step 3, in a buffer layer Amorphous silicon layer 300 is deposited on 200; step 4, using an existing CVD, SPC, MIC, MILC, or ELA crystallization process to convert amorphous silicon layer 300 into polysilicon layer 400; step 5, through yellow light, etching process The polysilicon layer 400 is patterned to form a polysilicon semiconductor layer 450. In step 6, a gate insulating layer 500, a gate electrode 600, an interlayer insulating layer 700, and a source/drain 800 are sequentially formed on the polysilicon semiconductor layer 450.
  • the polycrystalline silicon grain size obtained by the CVD crystallization process is particularly small and the deposition rate is low; the conventional SPC crystallization process requires high temperature and long time, which causes the substrate to be easily deformed and has high cost; the polysilicon layer metal obtained by the MIC or MILC crystallization process There are more residues, resulting in poor electrical conductivity of the TFT; The polysilicon gap state density obtained by the ELA crystallization process is low, and it is difficult to prepare a large-area polysilicon film, and the ELA device is expensive.

Description

低温多晶硅的制作方法及TFT基板的制作方法 技术领域
本发明涉及显示技术领域,尤其涉及一种低温多晶硅的制作方法及使用该方法的TFT基板的制作方法。
背景技术
随着平板显示的发展,高分辨率,低能耗的面板需求不断被提出。低温多晶硅(Low Temperature Poly-Silicon,LTPS)由于具有较高的电子迁移率,而在液晶显示器(Liquid Crystal Display,LCD)与有机发光二极管显示器Organic Light Emitting Diode,OLED)技术中得到了业界的重视,被视为实现低成本全彩平板显示的重要材料。对平板显示而言,采用低温多晶硅材料具有高分辨率、反应速度快、高亮度、高开口率、低能耗等优点,而且低温多晶硅可在低温下制作,并可用于制作C-MOS电路,因而被广泛研究,用以达到面板高分辨率,低能耗的需求。
低温多晶硅是多晶硅(poly-Si)技术的一个分支。多晶硅的分子结构在一颗晶粒中的排列状态是整齐而有方向性的,因此电子迁移率比排列杂乱的非晶硅(a-Si)快了200-300倍,极大的提高了平板显示的反应速度。目前制作低温多晶硅主要有:化学气相沉积(Chemical Vapor Deposition,CVD)、固相结晶(Solid Phase Crystallization,SPC)、金属诱导结晶(Metal-Induced Crystallization,MIC)、金属诱导横向结晶(Metal-Induced Lateral Crystallization,MILC)、准分子激光退火(Excimer Laser Annealing,ELA)等多种结晶制程方法。

采用CVD结晶制程得到的多晶硅晶粒尺寸特别小,且沉积速率低;传统的SPC结晶制程需要高温且耗时长,导致基板易变形,成本较高;采用MIC或MILC结晶制程制得的多晶硅层金属残留较多,导致TFT电性变差; 采用ELA结晶制程制得的多晶硅缺隙态密度低,难以制备大面积多晶硅薄膜,且ELA设备昂贵。
