Abstract
Description
本発明の薄膜トランジスタの製造方法および薄膜トランジスタは、基材がゲート絶縁膜を兼ねているため、シリコン酸化膜等のゲート絶縁膜を別途設ける必要がなく、トランジスタ全体の厚みを抑えることができる。これにより、ゲート絶縁膜のピンホールの発生や膜厚などの品質のバラツキに起因するトランジスタの性能のバラツキが発生しない。
さらに、第1トランジスタおよび第2トランジスタを含む本発明の薄膜トランジスタは基材を挟んで互いに異なる向きに2つのトランジスタが配置されているため、隣り合うトランジスタ同士の配置間隔を狭めることができ、回路の集積度を高められる。
膜厚25μmのポリイミドフィルムを基材2として準備し、図1に示すように、基材2の一方の主面上に酸化物半導体層3(例えばIGZO)を形成する。図1においては、基材2の厚み方向zの下側の面上に酸化物半導体層3が形成されている。酸化物半導体層3を成膜する方法は特に限定されず、例えば、真空蒸着法、スパッタリング法、箔状に形成された導電性材料を貼り付ける方法等を用いることができる。
酸化物半導体層3上に第1導電層4aを形成し、基材2の他方の主面上に第2導電層4bを形成する。すなわち、図3に示すように、厚み方向zにおいて酸化物半導体層3の下側に第1導電層4aが形成され、基材2の上側に第2導電層4bが形成される。第1導電層4aと第2導電層4bの形成方法は、上述した酸化物半導体層3の成膜と同様に、例えば、真空蒸着法やスパッタリング法を用いることができる。
図4に示すように、ゲート電極、ソース電極、ドレイン電極の各電極の形成位置を決めるためのマスク層10a、10bをそれぞれ第1導電層4a、第2導電層4bの上に一括して形成する。
ためのマスク層10bの左右方向xにおける中心線Cが、マスク層10aが形成するソー
ス電極とドレイン電極の間の領域(チャネル長LC)を左右方向xに三等分割した場合の
中央領域ACに位置していることが好ましい。
次に、マスク層10aが形成された第1導電層4aと、マスク層10bが形成された第2導電層4bを一括してエッチング液に接触させる。この操作によって、図5に示すように、第1導電層4aおよび第2導電層4bの一部領域が除去される。
図7に示すように、チャネル領域として機能する酸化物半導体層3の一部の領域がエッチングされるのを防ぐために、基材2の厚み方向zの下側面を覆うようにマスク層10cを形成する。マスク層10cの形成は、例えばチャネル領域のみにレジストを印刷することにより行うことができる。このように形成されたマスク層10cに加えて、ソース電極6、ドレイン電極7、端子電極12aがマスクとして機能する。
図8に示すように、酸化物半導体層3をエッチング液に接触させて、マスク層10cとソース電極6およびドレイン電極7に覆われていない酸化物半導体層3の領域を除去する。これにより、左右方向xにおいて、ソース電極6の左側端部と酸化物半導体層3の左側端部のエッチング幅を揃えることができる。また、左右方向xにおいて、ドレイン電極7の右側端部と酸化物半導体層3の右側端部のエッチング幅を揃えることができる。これにより、ソース電極6、ドレイン電極7とは別に、基材2上に端子電極12a、12bやビア電極(図示されていない)を形成することができる。
参考として、基材の一方の主面上に各層を形成する場合の薄膜トランジスタの製造方法について、図14~図21を用いて説明する。図14~図21は、参考例にかかる薄膜トランジスタの製造方法の工程断面図である。図14には、基材2の一方の主面上に第1導電層4aが形成されている。第1導電層4aの形成は、真空蒸着法やスパッタリング法によって行われる。
