阵列基板及其制作方法和显示装置
相关申请的交叉引用
本申请要求于2015年04月09日递交的中国专利申请第201510166992.X号的优先权,在此全文引用上述中国专利申请公开的内容以作为本申请的一部分。
技术领域
本公开文本涉及显示技术领域,具体而言,涉及一种阵列基板、一种显示装置和一种阵列基板制作方法。
背景技术
如图1所示,在显示器背板的制造工艺中,铝(Al)是最早使用的金属导线材料,例如作为驱动晶体管(TFT)的源极和漏极。随着显示背板分辨率的不断跳高,铝线逐渐不能适应新的要求。其中电阻率偏高和易产生电迁移失效、在制备过程中形成Hillock等问题是铝线的主要不足。
而采用铜(Cu)导线则有以下优点:
1.电阻率低,Cu的电阻率是1.7μΩ·cm,比Al的电阻率2.7μΩ·cm(200℃)低,降低了IR Drop,提高了响应速率;
2.降低损耗,窄的线宽消耗更少的能量;
3.高的布线密度,有利于高分辨率的实现;
4.高的抗点迁移能力,Cu的熔点比Al高,因此有更好的抗电迁移能力。
虽然Cu金属有良好的电学性能,但是引入Cu作为源、漏极和布线可能会产生新的力学和电学问题。
1.Cu有很强的扩散能力,容易导致TFT器件的失效;
2.Cu金属和SiNx、SiOx(可以作为钝化层材料)的结合强度不高,需要其他金属材料进行过渡,但是增加了Cu金属刻蚀的难度;
3.Cu在低温下(<200℃)易氧化,而且不会形成致密的氧化物薄膜以防止进一步氧化,由于Cu金属的氧化会使得显示器出现很明显的Mura缺陷。
因此需要考虑如何在使用铜金属作为导线的情况下,避免铜金属的上述缺陷。

具体实施方式
为了能够更清楚地理解本公开文本的上述目的、特征和优点,下面结合附图和具体实施方式对本公开文本进行进一步的详细描述。需要说明的是,在不冲突的情况下,本申请的实施例及实施例中的特征可以相互组合。
公开专利申请说明书以及权利要求书中使用的“第一”、“第二”以及类似的词语并不表示任何顺序、数量或者重要性,而只是用来区分不同的 组成部分。同样,“一个”或者“一”等类似词语也不表示数量限制,而是表示存在至少一个。“连接”或者“相连”等类似的词语并非限定于物理的或者机械的连接,而是可以包括电性的连接,不管是直接的还是间接的。“上”、“下”、“左”、“右”等仅用于表示相对位置关系,当被描述对象的绝对位置改变后,则该相对位置关系也相应地改变。
在下面的描述中阐述了很多具体细节以便于充分理解本公开文本,但是,本公开文本还可以采用其他不同于在此描述的其他方式来实施,因此,本公开文本的保护范围并不受下面公开的具体实施例的限制。
如图2所示,根据本公开文本的一个实施例的阵列基板,包括:
采用铜形成于基板7上的源漏金属层1;
采用铜合金形成于源漏金属层1上的合金层2,铜合金中的非铜金属比铜更易被氧化;
形成于合金层2上的钝化层3;
形成于合金层2与钝化层3之间氧化物层4。
由于铜合金中的非铜金属,例如镁(Mg)或铝(Al),相对于铜更易被氧化,需要说明的是,本实施例中的氧化是广义上的氧化,即物质失电子(价位升高)的过程,例如金属与氮原子或氯原子结合。
从而在形成钝化层3之后,对阵列基板进行退火,使得铜合金中靠近钝化层3中的非铜金属与钝化层3中的氧化性原子结合,在钝化层3和合金层2之间形成致密的氧化物层4。
需要说明的是,本实施例中的氧化物是广义上的氧化物,即金属原子与非金属原子结合形成的化合物。当钝化层3的材料为SiOx时,铜合金中的非铜金属为Mg,那么形成的氧化物层材料为氧化镁,而当钝化层3的材料为SiNx时,那么形成的氧化物层材料为氮化镁。
氧化物层4可以防止源极和漏极中的铜原子受到氧化,提高阵列基板在使用过程中驱动晶体管的稳定性。并且由于氧化物层4是合金层2中的原子与钝化层3中的原子结合形成的,加强了合金层2与钝化层3的结合强度,无需其他金属材料进行过渡,也就无需增加铜金属的蚀刻难度。另外,形成 的氧化物层4还可以使得驱动晶体管的薄膜电阻增大。
并且相对于现有技术中的铝金属,铜金属电阻率低,采用铜金属作为源极和漏极可以降低IR Drop,提高了响应速率;铜金属还具有更高的熔点,从而具有更高的抗点迁移能力。
在一个实施例中,氧化物层4由合金层2中的非铜金属与钝化层3中的氧化性原子结合形成。
在一个实施例中,还包括设置于蚀刻阻挡层5和源漏金属层1之间的防扩散层(图中未示出)。
在一个实施例中,防扩散层的材料为钼铌合金。
防扩散层可以有效防止铜原子扩散到驱动晶体管的其他层中,从而保证驱动晶体管运行的稳定性。
在一个实施例中,还包括:
采用铜形成于基板7上的数据线11。
铜金属可以制作为更窄的线宽,从而消耗更少的能量,降低损耗;并且铜金属可以实现更高的布线密度,有利于高分辨率的实现。
在一个实施例中,还包括:
形成于基板7之上的栅极8;
形成于栅极8之上的栅绝缘层9;
形成于栅绝缘层9之上的有源层10;
形成于有源层10之上的蚀刻阻挡层5。
在一个实施例中,非铜金属与在合金中的原子百分比为5at%至12at%。
将非金属原子的原子百分比设置在5at%至12at%之间,可以保证非金属原子形成致密的氧化物层4,进一步降低源极和漏极被氧化。
在一个实施例中,铜合金包括铜镁合金或铜铝合金。
本公开文本还提出了一种显示装置,包括上述的阵列基板。
需要说明的是,本实施例中的显示装置可以为:电子纸、手机、平板电脑、电视机、笔记本电脑、数码相框、导航仪等任何具有显示功能的产 品或部件。
如图3所示,根据本公开文本的一个实施例的阵列基板的制作方法,包括:
S1:在基板7上采用铜形成源漏金属层1,如图4所示;
S2:在源漏金属层1上采用铜合金形成合金层2,铜合金中的非铜金属比铜更易被氧化,如图5所示,在形成合金层2之后还可以对合金层2进行蚀刻,在源漏金属层1上形成源极和漏极图案,如图6所示;
S3:在合金层2上形成钝化层3,如图7所示;
S4:进行退火处理,使合金层2中的非铜金属与钝化层3中的氧化性原子结合,以形成位于合金层2与钝化层3之间的氧化物层4,如图8所示。
在一个实施例中,退火处理包括:在280℃的空气环境中退火处理一小时。在空气环境中进行退火操作,无需复杂的操作环境,有利于降低成本。在280℃的环境下进行氧化处理一小时,可以使得合金层2中的废铜金属原子缓慢地向钝化层3移动,以与钝化层3中的非金属原子结合,形成致密的氧化物层4,保证源极和漏极不被氧化。
在一个实施例中,在形成源漏金属层之1前还包括:
在蚀刻阻挡层5上形防扩散层(图中未示出)。
在一个实施例中,在形成源漏金属层之1前,还包括:
采用铜在基板7上形成数据线11。
在一个实施例中,在形成源漏金属层1之前,还包括:
在基板7之上形成栅极8;
在栅极8之上形成栅绝缘层9;
在栅绝缘层9之上形成有源层10;
在有源层10之上形成刻蚀阻挡层5。
以上结合附图详细说明了本公开文本的技术方案,考虑到相关技术中,采用铝金属制作驱动晶体管的源极和漏极,以及作为布线无法满足逐渐提高的分辨率要求,而采用铜金属又会引发诸多新问题。通过本公开文 本的技术方案,可以采用铜形成源极和漏极,同时使得源极和漏极与钝化层具有较高的结合强度,并且可以避免源极和漏极被氧化,还可以避免源极和漏极中的铜原子扩散。
此外,需要说明,在本公开文本中,类似于“采用铜金属”的语句表述并非是限制性的,也可以根据需要包括其它任何合适的材料。
需要指出的是,在附图中,为了图示的清晰可能夸大了层和区域的尺寸。而且可以理解,当元件或层被称为在另一元件或层“上”时,它可以直接在其他元件上,或者可以存在中间的层。另外,可以理解,当元件或层被称为在另一元件或层“下”时,它可以直接在其他元件下,或者可以存在一个以上的中间的层或元件。另外,还可以理解,当层或元件被称为在两层或两个元件“之间”时,它可以为两层或两个元件之间惟一的层,或还可以存在一个以上的中间层或元件。通篇相似的参考标记指示相似的元件。以上所述仅为本公开文本的优选实施例而已,并不用于限制本公开文本,对于本领域的技术人员来说,本公开文本可以有各种更改和变化。凡在本公开文本的精神和原则之内,所作的任何修改、等同替换、改进等,均应包含在本公开文本的保护范围之内。
