용액상태의 저온공정이 가능한 박막 트랜지스터(TFT) 는 차세대 플렉서블 디스플레이의 구동소자나 개별물품단위 인식용 초저가 RFID (Radio frequency identification) 태그의 로직 회로 등 고분자 기판 위에 구현되는 다양한 플렉서블 전자소자에 적용될 수 있는 가능성으로 인해 최근 활발한 연구가 이루어지고 있다. The thin film transistor (TFT) capable of low temperature process in solution state can be applied to various flexible electronic devices implemented on polymer substrates such as driving devices of next-generation flexible displays or ultra low-cost RFID (Radio frequency identification) tag logic circuits. Due to the possibility of active research in recent years.
최근 각종 웨어러블 디바이스들이 시장에 선을 보이면서 플렉서블 전자회로 및 소자에 대한 관심이 폭발적으로 증가하고 있고 이러한 플렉서블 기판위에 신문을 인쇄하듯이 인쇄공정을 통해서 전자소자 및 디스플레이를 제조하면 제조단가를 획기적으로 낮출수 있다. 용액공정 TFT에 사용되는 반도체 및 절연체 재료는 대표적으로 유기반도체 잉크, 금속 산화물 잉크, CNT, QD등 나노물질 기반 반도체 잉크 등이 있다. 이들은 용액 상태로 공정이 가능하기 때문에 다양한 인쇄공정을 통해서 소자를 값싸게 제조할 수 있으며 향후 연속공정 (roll to roll)에 적용하여 저가에 빠른 공정속도로 대량생산이 가능하여 트랜지스터의 제조비용을 획기적으로 낮출 수 있을 것으로 기대되어 상업적으로 큰 장점을 지니고 있다고 할 수 있다.Recently, as various wearable devices have been introduced to the market, interest in flexible electronic circuits and devices has exploded, and manufacturing electronic devices and displays through the printing process will drastically lower manufacturing costs as printing newspapers on such flexible substrates. Can be. The semiconductor and insulator materials used in the solution process TFTs include organic semiconductor inks, metal oxide inks, nanomaterial-based semiconductor inks such as CNT and QD. Since they can be processed in solution, they can be manufactured cheaply through various printing processes, and they can be applied to roll-to-roll in the future and can mass-produce them at low processing speeds at low cost. As it is expected to be lowered, it can be said to have great commercial advantages.
하지만 현재 이러한 인쇄공정을 통해서 제조되는 트랜지스터는 진공공정으로 제조된 실리콘 트랜지스터에 비해서 전하이동도 등에서 성능이 낮고 소자간 균일성이 좋지 않다. 특히 유기반도체를 기반으로 하는 유기박막트랜지스터는 유기물의 특성으로 인해서 이론적으로 가능한 이동도도 100 cm2/Vs로 낮고 실제 이동도도 현재 수준에서 10 cm2/Vs 고성능을 요구하는 소자에 적용되기 어렵다. 또한 산화물 기반 트랜지스터 (예 IGZO)도 이동도가 10-30 cm2/Vs에 불과하여 이에 대한 향상이 요구된다.However, current transistors manufactured through such a printing process have lower performance in charge mobility and poor device uniformity than silicon transistors manufactured by vacuum process. In particular, organic thin film transistors based on organic semiconductors have a low theoretical mobility of 100 cm2 / Vs due to the nature of organic materials, and actual mobility is difficult to be applied to devices requiring high performance of 10 cm2 / Vs at the current level. In addition, oxide-based transistors (eg IGZO) have a mobility of only 10-30 cm2 / Vs, requiring improvement.
한편, 트랜지스터에 있어서, 게이트 절연막으로 요구되는 물성은 높은 절연특성과 높은 유전상수(dielectric constant)이다. 게이트 절연막은 트랜지스터내에서 반도체층과 게이트 전극사이에 존재하여 게이트 전극의 전류가 반도체층으로 직접 흐르지 못하도록 하는 높은 절연특성을 보유해야 한다. 이때 절연막을 통해서 게이트 전극에서 반도체층으로 흐르는 전류를 게이트 누설전류라고 한다. 게이트 누설전류가 많을수록 제조된 전자회로의 소비전력이 높아지며, 회로가 제 기능으로 작동하지 않을 가능성이 높아진다.On the other hand, in the transistor, physical properties required for the gate insulating film are high insulation properties and high dielectric constant. The gate insulating film must exist between the semiconductor layer and the gate electrode in the transistor to have a high insulating property to prevent the current of the gate electrode from flowing directly into the semiconductor layer. At this time, the current flowing from the gate electrode to the semiconductor layer through the insulating film is called a gate leakage current. The higher the gate leakage current, the higher the power consumption of the manufactured electronic circuit and the greater the chance that the circuit will not function properly.
또한 게이트 전극에서 인가된 전압에 대해서 상대적으로 많은 양의 전류가 반도체층에서 유도되도록 높은 유전상수(dielectric constant)가 필요하게 된다. 특히 유기절연막은 무기절연막에 비해서 상대적으로 유연한 특성을 지녀서 차세대 플렉서블 디스플레이나 전자회로의 구현에 유리한 특성을 보유하고 있어서 최근에 활발히 연구되고 있다.In addition, a high dielectric constant is required so that a relatively large amount of current is induced in the semiconductor layer with respect to the voltage applied from the gate electrode. In particular, the organic insulating film has a relatively flexible characteristics compared to the inorganic insulating film has an advantageous property for the implementation of the next-generation flexible display or electronic circuit has been actively studied recently.
다만 고분자로 이루어진 유기절연막은 비교적 낮은 유전상수(dielectric constant)를 보유하고 있어서 이로인한 낮은 축전용량(capacitance)으로 상대적으로 트랜지스터의 구동전압을 낮추는데 한계를 지니게 된다. 축전용량(capacitance)을 높이기 위한 한가지 방안으로 얇은 두께의 절연막을 적용하면 되지만 고분자의 경우 박막에 많은 양의 air void와 pinhole을 보유하고 있고 밀도도 낮아서 얇은 두께로 원하는 절연물성을 확보하기는 쉽지 않다.However, the organic insulating film made of a polymer has a relatively low dielectric constant and thus has a limit in lowering the driving voltage of the transistor due to the low capacitance. One way to increase the capacitance is to apply a thin insulating film, but the polymer has a large amount of air voids and pinholes in the thin film and the density is low, so it is not easy to secure the desired insulating properties with a thin thickness. .
따라서 디스플레이나 전자소자에 적용될 트랜지스터의 구동전압을 효과적으로 낮추기 위해서 높은 유전상수(dielectric constant)와 높은 절연특성을 동시에 보유한 유연한 유기절연막에 대한 소재 및 공정기술에 대한 많은 연구 개발이 필요하다.Therefore, in order to effectively lower the driving voltage of a transistor to be applied to a display or an electronic device, a lot of research and development on materials and process technologies for a flexible organic insulating film having high dielectric constant and high insulating property are required.
최근에 다양한 이온과 고분자 절연체를 함유하여 이온의 이동을 통해서 이온쌍극자를 통해서 게이트 절연막의 특성을 부여한 이온겔 절연막이 매우 높은 유전상수(dielectric constant) 및 축전용량(capacitance)을 통해서 트랜지스터의 구동전압을 효과적으로 낮추어준다는 다수의 보고가 있었다. 기존의 일반적인 고분자 절연막은 축전용량이 1 ~ 100 nF/cm2 수준이나 이온겔 절연막은 1 ~ 100 uF/cm2 으로 통상 100배 이상의 높은 전하를 같은 게이트 전압에서 유도할 수 있다.Recently, ion gel insulating films containing various ions and polymer insulators, which impart the characteristics of the gate insulating film through ion dipoles, have a high dielectric constant and capacitance to drive the driving voltage of the transistor. There have been numerous reports of effective lowering. Conventional polymer insulating film has a capacitance of 1 to 100 nF / cm 2 Level or ion gel insulating film 1 ~ 100 uF / cm 2 Usually more than 100 times High charges can be induced at the same gate voltage.
하지만 이러한 이온겔 절연막은 구동전압은 효과적으로 낮출 수 있으나 이온의 이동을 통해서 쌍극자층(electrical double layer)을 형성하고 이를 통해서 전하를 유도하므로 구동속도가 현저히 낮아서 실제 상용적으로 응용되지는 못하고 있는 실정이다.However, the ion gel insulating film can effectively reduce the driving voltage, but since the formation of a double layer (electrical double layer) through the movement of ions and induces charge through it, the driving speed is significantly low, which is not practically applied commercially. .
한편, 듀얼게이트 트랜지스터는 한 소자내에 탑게이트와 바텀게이트의 두가지 게이트전극이 한 반도체층과 두 개의 절연체층을 사이에 두고 위아래 존재하는 트랜지스터를 지칭한다. 이러한 듀얼게이트 트랜지스터에서 탑게이트와 게이트 절연막에 각각 전도성 전극과 절연막을 제공하고 반도체층을 중간에 두고 바텀게이트와 게이트 절연막에 전도성 전극과 통상적인 고분자 절연막이나 산화물 절연막을 제공하는 구조를 제안한다.Meanwhile, the dual gate transistor refers to a transistor in which two gate electrodes, a top gate and a bottom gate, exist in one device with one semiconductor layer and two insulator layers interposed therebetween. In the dual gate transistor, a structure is provided in which a conductive electrode and an insulating film are provided to the top gate and the gate insulating film, respectively, and a conductive electrode and a conventional polymer insulating film or an oxide insulating film are provided to the bottom gate and the gate insulating film with the semiconductor layer in the middle.
이런 듀얼게이트 트랜지스터에 이온겔 절연막을 적용하는 경우, 즉 이온겔 절연막을 형성하여 게이트 전압을 인가해 주면 쌍극자의 형성대신 이온이 게이트 전압에 의해서 이동하여 electrical double layer를 형성하고 이로 인해서 통상 매우 높은 전하를 축전(high capacitance) 할 수 있으나, 이를 통해서 통상 이온겔을 절연막으로 사용한 트랜지스터는 매우 낮은 전하 이동속도를 보여주게 된다. 이러한 이온겔의 단점은 쌍극자에 비해서 상대적으로 이동속도가 느린 이온을 사용하므로 게이트 전압에 빠른 스위칭에 대한 이온의 대응속도가 느려서 트랜지스터의 구동속도가 매우 느린 문제점이 있었다.In the case of applying an ion gel insulating film to such a dual gate transistor, that is, forming an ion gel insulating film and applying a gate voltage, instead of forming a dipole, ions move by the gate voltage to form an electrical double layer. Although high capacitance can be obtained, through this, a transistor using an ion gel as an insulating film shows a very low charge transfer rate. The disadvantage of such an ion gel is that the ion has a relatively slow moving speed compared to the dipole, and thus the driving speed of the transistor is very slow due to the slow response speed of ions for fast switching to the gate voltage.
이에 따라, 높은 축전용량을 얻을 수 있는 동시에 빠른 구동속도를 가질 수 있는 듀얼게이트 트랜지스터의 개발이 요구되었다.Accordingly, there is a demand for the development of a dual gate transistor capable of obtaining high capacitance and at the same time having a high driving speed.

또한 본 발명은 전압 인가시 상기 이온층으로 인해 반도체층에 높은 전하를 형성하고, 확산에 의해 채널내에서 높은 전하량이 이동하여 소스/드레인 전극 상에서 구동속도가 향상되는 것을 특징으로 하는 듀얼게이트 박막트랜지스터를 제공한다.In addition, the present invention forms a high charge in the semiconductor layer due to the ion layer when the voltage is applied, a high charge amount in the channel is moved by diffusion, driving speed is improved on the source / drain electrode, characterized in that to provide.
본 발명에 따른 듀얼게이트 트랜지스터에서 탑게이트 하부에 이온층을 형성하는 경우, 탑게이트 절연막으로 이온겔 또는 고체전해질 소재가 적용됨으로 인해 매우 높은 전하를 반도체층의 상부에 축적하게 되고 이때 반도체층의 두께가 10 nm 이내로 얇으면 이러한 많은 전하량이 상대적으로 전하량이 적은 반도체층의 하부로 확산(diffusion) 시켜서 이를 바텀게이트 전극에 전압을 인가하여 듀얼게이트 트랜지스터의 하부채널내에서 이동시키므로 탑게이트 및 이온층으로 인해서 높은 전하이동도와 함께 바텀게이트로 인해서 높은 구동속도를 동시에 획득할 수 있으므로 전하이동도와 구동속도가 획기적으로 향상된 트랜지스터를 제공하는 효과가 있다. 즉 이온층으로 인해 제공된 높은 전하량을 반도체층 하부로 확산시켜서 바텀게이트로 구동하게 하는 것이다.In the dual gate transistor according to the present invention, when the ion layer is formed under the top gate, an ion gel or a solid electrolyte material is applied as the top gate insulating layer, thereby accumulating very high charges on the top of the semiconductor layer. If thin within 10 nm, this large amount of charge diffuses to the lower portion of the relatively low charge semiconductor layer, and a voltage is applied to the bottom gate electrode to move in the lower channel of the dual gate transistor. Since the bottom gate and the high gate speed can be simultaneously acquired due to the charge mobility, there is an effect of providing a transistor with significantly improved charge mobility and the driving speed. In other words, the high charge provided by the ion layer is diffused to the bottom of the semiconductor layer to be driven by the bottom gate.
또한, 본 발명에 따른 듀얼게이트 트랜지스터에서 바텀게이트 상부에 이온층을 형성하는 경우 바텀게이트 절연막으로 이온겔 또는 고체전해질 소재가 적용됨으로 인해 높은 전하를 반도체층 하부에 축적하게 되고 이를 반도체층 상부로 확산시켜서 탑게이트 전극에 전압을 인가하여 듀얼게이트 트랜지스터의 상부채널내에서 이동시키므로 바텀게이트 전극 및 이온층으로 인해서 높은 전하이동도와 함께 탑게이트로 인해서 높은 구동속도를 동시에 획득할 수 있으므로 전하이동도와 구동속도가 획기적으로 향상된 트랜지스터를 제공하는 효과가 있다.In addition, in the dual gate transistor according to the present invention, when the ion layer is formed on the bottom gate, an ion gel or a solid electrolyte material is applied as the bottom gate insulating film to accumulate high charge under the semiconductor layer, and to diffuse it into the upper semiconductor layer. Since the voltage is applied to the top gate electrode to move in the upper channel of the dual gate transistor, it is possible to simultaneously obtain high charge mobility due to the bottom gate electrode and the ion layer and high driving speed due to the top gate. The effect is to provide an improved transistor.
본 발명에 따른 듀얼게이트 트랜지스터는 반도체 박막이 두께가 얇아서 이온층으로 인해 형성된 높은 전하량이 다른 게이트에 채널내로 이동하여 이온층이 아닌 다른 게이트로 이러한 높은 전하량을 구동시켜 소스/드레인 전극 상에서 구동속도가 향상되는 효과가 있다.In the dual gate transistor according to the present invention, since the semiconductor thin film is thin, the high charge amount formed by the ion layer is moved into the channel to another gate, and the high charge amount is driven to a gate other than the ion layer to improve driving speed on the source / drain electrode. It works.
또한, 본 발명에 따른 트랜지스터는 동작 불안정을 방지하기 위해 이온층이 접해 있는 게이트 전극의 전압 조정을 통해서 보정이 가능하므로 안정적인 트랜지스터 구동이 가능하게 된다.In addition, the transistor according to the present invention can be corrected by adjusting the voltage of the gate electrode in contact with the ion layer in order to prevent operation instability, thereby enabling stable transistor driving.

상기 반도체층은 진공챔버에서 열증착이나 스퍼터링을 통해서 박막형성이 가능하다. 또한 용매에 녹을수 있는 소재는 스핀코팅, 스프레이(Spray), 잉크젯(Inkjet), 플렉소그라피(Flexography), 스크린(Screen), Dip-Coating 및 Gravure 등의 방법을 통해 소스/드레인 전극위에 형성된다. 이는 전극 상 및 기판의 국부적인 영역에 패턴을 형성할 수 있으며, 반도체층 형성 후 반도체 결정성 및 안정성 등의 소자 성능을 향상시키기 위해 열처리나 광학적 노출(exposure) 등을 시행할 수 있다.The semiconductor layer may be formed into a thin film by thermal evaporation or sputtering in a vacuum chamber.

The pattern may be formed on the electrode and the local region of the substrate, and heat treatment or optical exposure may be performed to improve device performance such as semiconductor crystallinity and stability after forming the semiconductor layer.
본 발명에서 반도체층의 두께(h)가 1 ~ 10nm인 것이 바람직하다. 상기 반도체층의 두께는 소스/드레인 전극의 상부와 이온층 하부의 간격을 말하며, 상기 반도체층의 두께가 얇은 경우 이온층으로 인해 발생한 높은 전하량 축적이 하부에 있는 반도체층에 높은 효율로 확산(diffusion)시켜 하부 채널에 효과적으로 이동할 수 있도록 할 수 있다. 즉, 빠른 구동속도를 획득할 수 있게 된다. In the present invention, the thickness h of the semiconductor layer is preferably 1 to 10 nm. The thickness of the semiconductor layer refers to the gap between the upper portion of the source and drain electrodes and the lower portion of the ion layer. When the thickness of the semiconductor layer is thin, high charge accumulation caused by the ion layer diffuses to the lower semiconductor layer with high efficiency. It can be effectively moved to the lower channel. That is, a fast driving speed can be obtained.
통상 축적 모드(accumulation mode)로 구동하는 유기트랜지스터와 산화물 트랜지스터에서 게이트 전압의 인가를 통해서 반도체와 절연체 계면에 형성되는 트랜지스터 채널의 두께는 1~5nm 정도로(분자층 2-3층) 알려져 있다.(Advanced Materials 25 (31), 4210-4244 (2013))The thickness of the transistor channel formed at the interface between the semiconductor and the insulator through the application of a gate voltage in an organic transistor and an oxide transistor which is usually driven in an accumulation mode is known to be about 1 to 5 nm (2 to 3 molecular layers). Advanced Materials 25 (31), 4210-4244 (2013))
따라서, 반도체 층의 두께가 10 nm 이내이면 듀얼게이트에서 상부에 형성된 채널이 하부와 형성된 채널과 서로 혼합되어서 상부 혹은 하부에서 형성된 전하가 하부 혹은 상부로 확산이 가능하게 된다. 이러한 효과는 반도체층의 두께가 얇을수록 배가 된다.Therefore, when the thickness of the semiconductor layer is less than 10 nm, the channel formed at the upper portion of the dual gate is mixed with the lower portion and the formed channel so that the charge formed at the upper portion or the lower portion can diffuse to the lower portion or the upper portion. This effect is doubled as the thickness of the semiconductor layer is thinner.
도 3은 트랜지스터의 반도체층 두께를 100nm 및 10nm로 하였을 때 높이 위치에 따른 전하량을 나타낸 것이다.3 shows the amount of charge according to the height position when the semiconductor layer thickness of the transistor is 100 nm and 10 nm.
도 3을 참조하면, 반도체층으로 IGZO 산화물 반도체층을 형성하였으며, 상기 반도체층이 100 nm 일 때는 상부와 하부에 형성된 채널에 의한 높은 전하량이 반도체층 중간에 효과적으로 전달되지 못하여서, 상부와 하부의 전하량과 중간층의 전하량이 크게 차이를 보이게 된다.Referring to FIG. 3, an IGZO oxide semiconductor layer was formed as a semiconductor layer. When the semiconductor layer is 100 nm, the high charge amount due to the channels formed on the upper and lower portions is not effectively transferred to the middle of the semiconductor layer, and thus the charge amount on the upper and lower portions. The amount of charge in the and the intermediate layer is greatly different.
이에 반해 반도체층이 10 nm이면 상부와 하부에 형성된 전하가 중간층에 효과적으로 확산되어 반도체층의 전하량이 반도체내에 골고루 퍼지게 된다.On the other hand, if the semiconductor layer is 10 nm, the charges formed on the upper and lower sides are effectively diffused in the intermediate layer, so that the amount of charge in the semiconductor layer is evenly spread in the semiconductor.
따라서 10 nm 이내의 반도체층을 사용하게 되면 이온젤에 의해서 형성된 반도체층 상부의 높은 전하량이 반도체층 하부로 효과적으로 확산되어서 하부 게이트의 전멸에 의해서 높은 구동속도를 얻을 수 있어서 높은 전류이득과 구동속도를 동시에 구현할 수 있게 된다.Therefore, when the semiconductor layer within 10 nm is used, the high charge on the semiconductor layer formed by the ion gel is effectively diffused to the lower part of the semiconductor layer, so that the high driving speed can be obtained by the disappearance of the lower gate. It can be implemented at the same time.
탑게이트 전극 및 바텀게이트 전극에 전압을 인가하는 경우, 이온층에 의한 높은 유전상수(dielectric constant) 및 축전용량(capacitance)을 통해서 많은 양의 전하를 축적시키게 되고, 반도체층을 얇게 함으로써 소스/드레인 전극으로 하여금 반도체층의 채널로 빠르게 이동시킬 수 있는 역할을 한다.When a voltage is applied to the top gate electrode and the bottom gate electrode, a large amount of electric charge is accumulated through a high dielectric constant and capacitance by the ion layer, and the source / drain electrode is made thin by making the semiconductor layer thin. It can be quickly moved to the channel of the semiconductor layer.
상기 반도체층 상에는 전면에 걸쳐서는 이온층을 형성할 수 있다.An ion layer may be formed over the entire surface of the semiconductor layer.
이때 이온층은 이온성 액체로 층 형성이 가능하고, 이온성 액체와 고분자가 혼합된 이온겔 또는 고체전해질로도 층 형성이 가능하다. 이온층을 이온겔 또는 고체전해질로 형성하는 경우 이온성 액체에 특정 고분자를 적절히 혼합하여 형성할 수 있다. 상기 이온겔은 겔형상으로 형성되며, 상기 고체전해질은 고체형상으로 상기 이온겔 보다는 좀더 딱딱한 형태이나 신축성은 어느 정도 있는 형태일 수 있다.In this case, the ionic layer may be formed of an ionic liquid, and may be formed of an ion gel or a solid electrolyte mixed with an ionic liquid and a polymer. When the ionic layer is formed of an ion gel or a solid electrolyte, the ionic liquid may be formed by appropriately mixing a specific polymer. The ion gel may be formed in a gel shape, and the solid electrolyte may be in a solid shape and have a more rigid form or elasticity than the ion gel.

Ionic liquids include 1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis (trifluoromethylsulfonyl) amide ([EMI] [TFSA]), [EMIM] [TFSI], [BMIM] [PF 6 ], and [EMIM] [OctSO 4 ]. You can choose one or more from the group you have made up.
상기 이온겔 또는 고체전해질로 형성하는 경우에는 신축성이 좋아 향후 신축성 소자 제조에도 도움이 된다. 상기 이온겔 또는 고체전해질은 이온성 액체와 고분자가 혼합되는 데, 상기 고분자로는 poly(styrene-b-methylmethacrylate-b-styrene) [PS-PMMA-PS], poly (vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoro propylene), P(VDF-HFP), tetra-arm poly (ethylene glycol) (Tetra-PEG), PVDF-TrFE 등으로 이루어진 군에서 1이상 선택할 수 있으며, 상기 이온성 액체와 혼합이 가능한 고분자라면 비제한적으로 사용할 수 있다.In the case of forming the ion gel or the solid electrolyte, the elasticity is good, which will help in the future manufacturing of the stretchable device. The ion gel or the solid electrolyte is mixed with an ionic liquid and a polymer, the polymer is poly (styrene-b-methylmethacrylate-b-styrene) [PS-PMMA-PS], poly (vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoro propylene), P (VDF-HFP), tetra-arm poly (ethylene glycol) (Tetra-PEG), PVDF-TrFE, etc. can be selected from one or more, and can be used without limitation as long as the polymer can be mixed with the ionic liquid. have.
이온겔 또는 고체전해질로 제조시 이온성 액체 및 고분자의 혼합비율은 상기 이온성 액체 및 고분자의 혼합비율은 0.1 : 9.9 내지 9.9 : 0.1 중량비로 혼합되는 것이 바람직하다. 이때 혼합을 위해서는 methylene chloride 등의 용매가 필요한 데, 이온성 액체 및 고분자와 용매의 혼합비율은 약 10 : 90의 중량비율로 혼합한다.When the ion gel or solid electrolyte is prepared, the mixing ratio of the ionic liquid and the polymer may be mixed in a ratio of 0.1: 9.9 to 9.9: 0.1 by weight. At this time, a solvent such as methylene chloride is required for mixing. The mixing ratio of the ionic liquid, the polymer and the solvent is mixed at a weight ratio of about 10:90.
이온층을 이온겔 또는 고체전해질로 하여 제조하는 방법은 이온성 액체 및 고분자를 용매에 혼합한 용액을 형성한 뒤, 이 용액을 약 80℃의 핫플레이트(hot plate) 위에서 약 6시간동안 가열하여 용매에 재료가 완전히 용해되고 혼합되도록 하여 이온겔 또는 고체전해질을 제조할 수 있다.In the method of preparing an ion layer using an ion gel or a solid electrolyte, a solvent is prepared by mixing a ionic liquid and a polymer in a solvent, and then heating the solution on a hot plate at about 80 ° C. for about 6 hours. The material may be completely dissolved and mixed in the ion gel to prepare an ion gel or a solid electrolyte.
바텀 게이트 전극 및 바텀 게이트 절연막이 형성된 상태에서 반도체층과 탑게이트 절연막 사이에 이온층을 형성하는 경우, 탑게이트 절연막으로 이온겔 또는 고체전해질 소재가 적용됨으로 인해 매우 높은 전하를 반도체층에 축적하게 되고 이를 바텀게이트 전극에 전압을 인가하여 트랜지스터의 채널내에서 이동시키므로 탑게이트 전극 및 이온층으로 인해서 높은 전하이동도와 함께 바텀게이트로 인해서 높은 구동속도를 동시에 획득할 수 있게된다.When the ion layer is formed between the semiconductor layer and the top gate insulating film while the bottom gate electrode and the bottom gate insulating film are formed, very high charge is accumulated in the semiconductor layer due to the application of the ion gel or the solid electrolyte material as the top gate insulating film. Since a voltage is applied to the bottom gate electrode to move in the channel of the transistor, a high driving speed can be simultaneously obtained due to the bottom gate along with a high charge mobility due to the top gate electrode and the ion layer.
즉, 탑게이트 전극에 전압인가를 하는 경우에 이온층의 영향으로 반도체층에 높은 전하량이 축적하게 되고, 여기에 바텀게이트 전극에 전압을 인가하게 되면 트랜지스터의 채널내에서 이동이 발생하므로 높은 구동속도가 발생하게 된다.That is, when a voltage is applied to the top gate electrode, a high amount of charge is accumulated in the semiconductor layer due to the influence of the ion layer, and when a voltage is applied to the bottom gate electrode, movement occurs in the channel of the transistor, so that a high driving speed is achieved. Will occur.
도 4는 본 발명의 일실시예에 따른 박막트랜지스터에 전압인가시 변화를 나타낸 것이다.Figure 4 shows the change in voltage applied to the thin film transistor according to an embodiment of the present invention.
본 발명은 반도체층 상부에 위치한 이온층으로 인해 반도체층에 많은 전하가 형성되며, 형성된 많은 전하는 반도체층이 얇으므로 인해 하부로 쉽게 확산되어 하부의 바텀게이트 전극을 조절함에 따라 구동된다.In the present invention, a large amount of charges are formed in the semiconductor layer due to the ion layer positioned on the semiconductor layer, and the formed charges are easily diffused to the lower portion because the semiconductor layer is thin and driven by controlling the bottom gate electrode.
상기 반도체층의 두께가 10nm 이하로 얇은 경우 이온층으로 인해 발생한 높은 전하량 축적이 하부에 있는 반도체층에 높은 효율로 확산(diffusion)시켜 하부 채널에 효과적으로 이동하도록 하여 빠른 구동속도를 얻을 수 있게 된다.When the thickness of the semiconductor layer is thinner than 10 nm, high charge accumulation caused by the ion layer diffuses to the lower semiconductor layer with high efficiency to efficiently move to the lower channel, thereby obtaining a fast driving speed.
도 4를 참조하면, 탑게이트 전극의 +전압 인가로 인해 이온층 상부에 -전하가 축적되고, 두께가 얇은 반도체층으로 인해 -전하가 하부로 확산되어 축적되며 이를 소스/드레인 전극사이에 빠른 구동속도를 갖게 된다.Referring to FIG. 4, −charge is accumulated on the ion layer due to the + voltage application of the top gate electrode, and −charge is diffused and accumulated at the bottom due to the thin semiconductor layer, and the driving speed is fast between the source / drain electrodes. Will have

실험 결과 실시예 1의 경우 매우 높은 전하를 반도체층에 축적하게 되고 이를 바텀게이트 전극에 전압을 인가하여 트랜지스터의 채널내에서 이동시키므로 탑게이트 전극 및 이온층으로 인해서 높은 전하이동도와 함께 바텀게이트 전극으로 인해 높은 구동속도를 동시에 획득할 수 있게 된다.
