Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to the field of display technologies, and in particular, to a thin film transistor, an array substrate, a method for fabricating the same, and a display device.
- TFT Thin Film Transistor
- LCD Liquid Crystal Display
- OLED Organic Light Emitting Diode
- thin film transistor technology has evolved from the original amorphous silicon (a-Si) thin film transistor to the current low temperature poly-silicon (LTPS) thin film transistor, metal induced lateral crystallization (Metal- Induced Lateral Crystallization (MILC) thin film transistor, oxide (Oxide) thin film transistor, and the like.
- a-Si amorphous silicon
- LTPS low temperature poly-silicon
- MILC metal induced lateral crystallization
- MILC Metal- Induced Lateral Crystallization
- oxide (Oxide) thin film transistor oxide
- Oxide thin film transistors use an oxide semiconductor as an active layer, which has the characteristics of large mobility, high on-state current, better switching characteristics, and better uniformity, and can be applied to applications requiring fast response and large current.
- the above oxide semiconductor material mostly contains some rare metal elements such as metal elements such as indium and antimony.
- the abundance of indium in the earth's crust is only about 0.049ppm. Therefore, with the large consumption of indium by industrial demand, the indium of the metal element is less and less, resulting in an increase in the price of the metal elemental indium, thereby increasing the manufacturing cost of the display device, which is disadvantageous for mass production of the product.

本公开涉及显示技术领域,尤其涉及一种薄膜晶体管、阵列基板及其制备方法、显示装置。
薄膜晶体管(Thin Film Transistor,简称TFT)作为显示技术领域中最重要的电子器件之一,用于控制和驱动液晶显示器(Liquid Crystal Display,简称LCD)以及有机发光二极管(Organic Light Emitting Diode,简称OLED)显示器的子像素。
随着显示技术的快速发展,薄膜晶体管技术由原来的非晶硅(a-Si)薄膜晶体管发展到现在的低温多晶硅(Low Temperature Poly-silicon,LTPS)薄膜晶体管、金属诱导横向晶化(Metal-Induced Lateral Crystallization,MILC)薄膜晶体管、氧化物(Oxide)薄膜晶体管等。
目前广泛应用的Oxide薄膜晶体管采用氧化物半导体作为有源层,具有迁移率大、开态电流高、开关特性更优、均匀性更好的特点,可以适用于需要快速响应和较大电流的应用,如高频、高分辨率、大尺寸的显示器以及有机发光显示器等。
然而,现有技术中,上述氧化物半导体材料大多包含有一些稀有金属元素,例如铟、锶等金属单质。其中,铟元素在地壳中的丰度只有0.049ppm左右。因此,随着工业需求对铟的大量消耗,使得金属单质铟越来越少,导致金属单质铟的价格升高,从而增加了显示设备的制作成本,不利于产品的量产。
发明内容
本公开的实施例提供一种薄膜晶体管、阵列基板及其制备方法、显示装置,能够减少半导体有源层中铟元素的使用,从而解决由于铟元素越来越稀
缺,而导致的制作成本上升的问题。

本公开实施例提供一种薄膜晶体管的制备方法,如图1所示,可以包括:
S101、如图2a所示,在透明基板10上,通过构图工艺形成栅极图案11。
S102、在透明基板10上,通过构图工艺形成栅极绝缘层12。
S103、在透明基板10上,通过构图工艺形成半导体有源层13的图案;其中,该半导体有源层13的图案包括硼化镧图案。
S104、在透明基板10上,通过构图工艺形成源极14、漏极15的图案。
需要说明的是,第一、本公开对上述步骤S101至S104的先后顺序不做限定。例如当TFT如图2a所示为底栅型薄膜晶体管时,上述方法可以为,先进行步骤S101,以在透明基板10上形成栅极11的图案,然后在形成有栅极图案11的基板上形成栅极绝缘层12;之后再形成有栅极绝缘层12的基板上形成包括硼化镧图案的半导体有源层13的图案,最后在形成有半导体有源层13图案的基板上形成源极14和漏极15的图案。
而当TFT如图2b所示为顶栅型薄膜晶体管时,上述方法可以为,先进行步骤S103,以在透明基板10上形成包括硼化镧图案的半导体有源层13的图案;然后,在形成有半导体有源层13图案的基板上形成源极14和漏极15的图案;之后再形成有源极14和漏极15图案的基板上依次形成栅极绝缘层12以及栅极11的图案。
综上所述,底栅型TFT和顶栅型TFT是相对所述栅极11和栅极绝缘层12的位置而定的,即:相对所述透明基板10而言,当栅极11如图2a所示,靠近所述透明基板10,栅极绝缘层12远离所述透明基板10时,为底栅型TFT;当栅极11远离所述透明基板10,栅极绝缘层12靠近所述透明基板10时,为顶栅型TFT。
本公开以下实施例均是以底栅型TFT为例进行的说明,当然对于顶栅型TFT而言同样适用。由于原理相同,因此不再对顶栅型TFT进行赘述,但都应当属于本公开的保护范围。
此外,上述步骤S101、S102以及S104的具体实施方式可以参见现有技术。
第二、在本公开实施例中的构图工艺,可指包括光刻工艺,或,包括光刻工艺以及刻蚀步骤,同时还可以包括打印、喷墨等其他用于形成预定图形的工艺;光刻工艺包括成膜、曝光、显影等工艺,具体可以利用光刻胶、掩模板、曝光机等形成图形的工艺。可根据本公开中所形成的结构选择相应的构图工艺。
第三、上述透明基板10可以由硬质材料构成,例如玻璃基板、硬质树脂基板,或者是由柔性材料构成的透明基板。并且,上述步骤中在透明基板10上制备各种薄膜层,可以是直接在透明基板10的表面上进行制备,或者,可以是在已经形成有一些薄膜层或薄膜层图案的透明基板10上进行制备。
第四、本公开实施例中,半导体有源层13主要由硼化镧薄膜层构成。硼化镧的化学式为LaxBy,当y为1时,x的取值范围可以为0.05-1之间。本领域技术人员可以根据实际情况对上述y和x的数值进行调节。其中,硼元素的含量越高,载流子的浓度和导电率越低,进而利于实现硼化镧从导体到半导体的转换。
具体地,当半导体有源层13的图案由单层薄膜层构成时,该单层薄膜层可以为硼化镧薄膜层。或者,当半导体有源层13为多层薄膜层堆叠而成时,硼化镧薄膜层位于多层薄膜层堆叠结构的中间层,且硼化镧薄膜层相对于多层薄膜层堆叠结构中的其他薄膜层而言,厚度最大。其中,多层薄膜层堆叠结构中的其他薄膜层可以采用金属氧化物半导体,例如铟镓锌氧化物(Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide,IGZO)。由于铟元素构成的薄膜层在整个半导体有源层13中占有的份额相对于硼化镧而言较少,因此可以减小铟元素的使用,从而解决由于铟元素越来越稀缺,而导致的制作成本上升的问题。
此外,硼化镧还具有高熔点、耐离子轰击、抗氧化、导热、化学稳定性好的优点,同时其迁移率相对于非晶硅而言较高。
本公开实施例提供一种薄膜晶体管的制备方法,包括:在透明基板上,通过构图工艺形成半导体有源层的图案;其中半导体有源层的图案包括硼化镧图案。这样一来,构成半导体有源层的主要成分可以为硼化镧。其中,镧元素虽然是稀土元素,但在地壳中的丰度30ppm,远大于铟元素在地壳中的丰度,而且镧元素的年均消耗量也远小于铟元素。因此,由硼化镧构成的半导体有源层相比于含铟的半导体有源层具有明显的成本和可持续使用的优势。此外,硼化镧的镧元素位于立方体体心,每六个硼元素组成一个正八面体,每个正八面体的体心位于立方体的顶点上,相邻的晶格中的镧元素具有一定的电子轨道交叠,形成电子通道。因此,硼化镧具有很高的迁移率和导电性,从而使得由硼化镧构成的半导体有源层的电子迁移率高,使得薄膜晶体管具
有较高的开关电流比高,有利于控制器件的漏电;同时,可以有效地提高器件的充电率,进而提高显示器件的显示效果。
以下通过具体的实施例对上述薄膜晶体管的制备方法进行详细的举例说明。
实施例一
本实施例提供的制备方法,用于制备如图2a所示的TFT,尤其是本实施例采用物理气相沉积法制备主要由硼化镧构成的半导体有源层13,如图3所示,制备TFT的方法可以包括:
S201、在透明基板10上,形成栅极11的图案。
具体的,在透明基板10上,通过物理气相沉积法制备厚度为100nm~2000nm的栅极金属层。其中,该栅极金属层可以采用金属、金属合金或导电金属氧化物构成。还可以采用由两层以上的导电材料构成,例如两层钼金属层和位于所述两层钼金属层之间的铝金属层,即Mo/Al/Mo(钼/铝/钼)等。然后,在栅极金属层的表面涂覆光刻胶,并采用普通掩膜版对栅极金属层进行曝光、显影、刻蚀工艺,露出部分栅极金属层的表面;之后,对光刻胶未覆盖的栅极金属层进行刻蚀,从而形成栅极11的图案。
S202、在形成有栅极11图案的基板上,形成栅极绝缘层12。
具体的,在形成有栅极11图案的基板上,可以通过物理气相沉积法、化学气相沉积法、电化学氧化法或热氧化法制备栅极绝缘层12,该栅极绝缘层12的厚度为50nm~1000nm。其中,构成该栅极绝缘层12的材料可以为二氧化硅(SiO2)、氮化硅(SiNx)、氮氧化硅(Si-O-N)、三氧化二铝(Al2O3)、五氧化二钽(Ta2O5)、三氧化二钇(Y2O3)或氢氧化铪(HfO2)中的至少一种。
S203、在形成有栅极绝缘层12的基板上,通过物理气相沉积法制备半导体化的硼化镧薄膜层。
其中制备气压可以为0.02pa~0.5pa。当制备气压小于0.02pa和大于0.5pa,形成的硼化镧性能会下降。为了提高硼化镧薄膜层的稳定性,可选地,上述制备气压可以为0.05pa~0.3Pa。
并且,当制备气压为0.05pa~0.3Pa时,硼化镧薄膜层的生长速率可以为
10nm/min~100nm/min。当薄膜的生长速率小于10nm/min时,会导致生产效率下降。当薄膜的生长速率大于100nm/min时,成膜速度太快从而导致薄膜性能下降。需要说明的是,由于硼化镧薄膜中,硼元素的含量越高,越有利于降低载流子的浓度和导电率,进而有利于实现硼化镧从导体到半导体的转换。而硼化镧中的硼元素相对于镧元素而言较轻,受到薄膜的生长速率的影响较大,因此在10nm/min~100nm/min的范围内,薄膜的生长速率越快,硼元素越容易到达基板,因此形成的硼化镧薄膜层中硼元素的含量越高。为了提高硼化镧薄膜层的稳定性,可选地,上述薄膜的生长速率可以为20nm/min~100nm/min。
需要说明的是,上述在制备硼化镧薄膜层的过程中,当采用物理气相沉积法时,所述制备气压为物理气相沉积腔室的气压。当采用溅射法制备硼化镧薄膜层时,所述制备气压为靶材的溅射压强。
此外,形成的硼化镧薄膜层的厚度可以为10nm~500nm。由于TFT的性能会受到组成该TFT的各个薄膜层的影响。其中半导体有源层又是对其影响最为严重的部分之一。当上述硼化镧薄膜层的厚度小于10nm或大于500nm时,会降低TFT性能的稳定性,从而降低了产品的良率。为了进一步提高TFT性能的稳定性,上述硼化镧薄膜层的厚度可以为20nm~200nm。
需要说明的是,当半导体有源层13由多层薄膜层构成时,当上述硼化镧薄膜层位于多层薄膜层堆叠结构的中间层时,且硼化镧薄膜层相对于多层薄膜层堆叠结构中的其他薄膜层而言,厚度最大,例如为10nm~500nm。多层薄膜层堆叠结构中的其他薄膜层的厚度可以为10nm-50nm,并且可以采用金属氧化物半导体,例如IGZO(indium gallium zinc oxide,铟镓锌氧化物)。这样一来,由于铟元素构成的薄膜层在整个半导体有源层13中占有的份额相对于硼化镧而言较少,因此可以减小铟元素的使用,从而解决由于铟元素越来越稀缺,而导致的制作成本上升的问题。
此外,在制备过程中,可以控制硼化镧薄膜层的载流子浓度为1015cm-3-1018cm-3,从而达到了将硼化镧薄膜层转化成半导体的目的。其中,当载流子浓度小于1015cm-3时,导致电子迁移率过低,当载流子浓度大于1018cm-3时,会导致TFT的漏电流增大,从而影响器件的开关特性。如果进
一步增大会使半导体有源层导体化,从而导致TFT失效。需要说明的是,由于镧元素相对于硼元素而言,受压强影响较小。因此,在采用物理气相沉积法制备硼化镧薄膜层时,可以适当的降低氩气或氮气等惰性气体的压强。这样一来,可以有利于硼元素达到基板。从而使得形成的硼化镧薄膜中硼元素的含量增加,从而有利于降低载流子的浓度和导电率,进而利于实现硼化镧从导体到半导体的转换。
当形成具有半导体特性的硼化镧薄膜层后,可以在该硼化镧薄膜层的表面涂覆一层光刻胶,然后,采用普通掩膜版对所述光刻胶进行通过掩膜、曝光、显影工艺,露出部分硼化镧薄膜层的表面;之后,对光刻胶未覆盖的所述硼化镧薄膜层进行刻蚀,从而形成半导体有源层13的图案。
S204、在形成半导体有源层13的基板上,形成源极14、漏极15的图案。
具体的,在形成半导体有源层13的基板上,通过物理气相沉积法形成厚度为100nm~1000nm的数据金属层。其中,该数据金属层可以采用金属、金属合金或导电金属氧化物构成。还可以由两层以上的导电材料构成,例如两层钼金属层和位于所述两层钼金属层之间的铝金属层,即Mo/Al/Mo(钼/铝/钼)等。然后,在所述数据金属层的表面涂覆光刻胶,并对光刻胶进行掩膜、曝光以及显影工艺,露出部分数据金属层的表面;之后,对光刻胶未覆盖的所述数据金属层进行刻蚀,从而形成源极14、漏极15的图案。
上述实施例采用物理气相沉积法制备主要由硼化镧构成的半导体有源层13。以下实施例以采用溅射法制备主要由硼化镧构成的半导体有源层13为例,对薄膜晶体管的制备方法进行详细的描述。
实施例二
本实施例提供的制备方法,用于制备如图2a所示的TFT,所述方法具体包括:
首先,在透明基板10上形成厚度为300nm的Al薄膜,通过掩膜、曝光、刻蚀以及显影工艺,形成栅极11的图案。
接下来,在形成有栅极11图案的基板上,采用阳极氧化的方法制备厚度为200nm的栅极绝缘层12。
接下来,在形成有栅极绝缘层12的基板上,采用溅射法制备硼化镧薄膜
层。
具体的,先将硼化镧靶材安装在溅射仪上,通过直接溅射的方法制备成薄膜,溅射过程中控制制备气压为0.3Pa,薄膜的生长速率为10nm/min,以形成厚度为20nm的硼化镧薄膜层。然后通过掩膜、曝光、显影以及刻蚀工艺,形成半导体有源层13的图案。其中,半导体有源层13的载流子浓度约为1018cm-3,迁移率约为3cm2/Vs。
最后,在形成有半导体有源层13的基板上,采用溅射的方法形成一层氧化铟锡金属氧化物(Indium Tin Oxides,简称ITO)薄膜,厚度380nm,并采用掩膜、曝光、显影以及刻蚀工艺进行图形化,以同时得到源极14和漏极15的图案。
通过上述方法得到的TFT器件的转移特性曲线如图4所示,可以看出,当TFT器件的栅极电压为0V时,漏极电流在10-9.5A左右。
实施例三
本实施例提供的制备方法,用于制备如图2c所示的TFT,与实施例二提供的底栅型TFT不同的是,本实施例中的TFT的半导体有源层13位于源极14和漏极15的上方,因此半导体有源层13的制备步骤位于源极14和漏极15的制备步骤之后。
此外,本实施例提供的方法除了半导体有源层13的制备方法之外,其它各个薄膜层的制备方法与实施例二相同。
半导体有源层13的制备方法包括:首先,在形成有源极14和漏极15的基板上,采用溅射法制备硼化镧薄膜层。
具体的,先将硼化镧靶材安装在溅射仪上,然后通过直接溅射的方法制备成薄膜,溅射过程中控制工作气压为0.1Pa,薄膜的生长速率为20nm/min,以形成厚度为40nm的硼化镧薄膜层。然后通过掩膜、曝光、刻蚀以及显影工艺,形成半导体有源层13的图案。其中,半导体有源层13的载流子浓度约为1017cm-3,迁移率约为1.5cm2/Vs。
通过上述方法得到的TFT器件的转移特性曲线如图5所示,可以看出,当TFT器件的栅极电压为0V时,漏极电流在10-9A左右。
实施例四
本实施例提供的制备方法,用于制备如图2a所示的TFT。其中,本实施例提供的方法除了半导体有源层13的制备方法之外,其它各个薄膜层的制备方法与实施例二相同。
半导体有源层13的制备方法包括:首先,在形成有栅极绝缘层12的基板上,采用溅射法制备硼化镧薄膜层。
具体的,先将硼化镧靶材安装在溅射仪上,通过直接溅射的方法制备成薄膜,溅射过程中控制工作气压为0.05Pa,薄膜的生长速率为30nm/min,以形成厚度为100nm的硼化镧薄膜层。然后通过掩膜、曝光、刻蚀以及显影工艺,形成半导体有源层13的图案。其中,半导体有源层13的载流子浓度约为1015cm-3,迁移率约为2.8cm2/Vs。
通过上述方法得到的TFT器件的转移特性曲线如图6所示,可以看出,当TFT器件的栅极电压为0V时,漏极电流在10-10.5A左右。
综上所述,对比图4、图5以及图6可知,当TFT器件的栅极电压为0V时,采用实施例四制作的TFT器件的漏极电流最小,即TFT的关态电流最小。当TFT器件的栅极电压在0V到10V之间时,图6所示的曲线的斜率最大,因此,实施例四制作的TFT器件的漏极电流上升速度最快,所以实施例四制作的TFT器件的开关响应速度最快,开关特性最好。
本公开实施例提供一种阵列基板的制备方法,包括上述任意一种薄膜晶体管的制备方法,具有与前述实施例提供的薄膜晶体管的制备方法相同的步骤和有益效果。由于前述实施例已经对薄膜晶体管制备方的步骤和有益效果进行了详细的描述,此处不再赘述。
例如,当上述阵列基板包括如图2a所示的底栅型TFT时,所述阵列基板的制备方法可以包括:
首先,在透明基板10上,通过物理气相沉积法制备厚度为100nm~2000nm的栅极金属层。然后,在栅极金属层的表面涂覆光刻胶,并采用普通掩膜版对栅极金属层进行曝光、显影、刻蚀工艺,露出部分栅极金属层的表面;之后,对光刻胶未覆盖的栅极金属层进行刻蚀,从而形成栅极11以及栅线的图案。
然后,在形成有栅极11和栅线图案的基板上,可以通过物理气相沉积法、
化学气相沉积法、电化学氧化法或热氧化法制备栅极绝缘层12,该栅极绝缘层12的厚度为50nm~1000nm。
接下来,在形成有栅极绝缘层12的基板上,通过物理气相沉积法制备半导体化的硼化镧薄膜层。具体制备过程可以参照上述实施例一。当形成具有半导体特性的硼化镧薄膜层后,可以在该硼化镧薄膜层的表面涂覆一层光刻胶,然后,采用普通掩膜版对所述光刻胶进行通过掩膜、曝光、显影工艺,露出部分硼化镧薄膜层的表面;之后,对光刻胶未覆盖的所述硼化镧薄膜层进行刻蚀,从而形成半导体有源层13的图案。
接下来,在形成半导体有源层13的基板上,通过物理气相沉积法形成厚度为100nm~1000nm的数据金属层。然后,在所述数据金属层的表面涂覆光刻胶,并对光刻胶进行掩膜、曝光以及显影工艺,露出部分数据金属层的表面;之后,对光刻胶未覆盖的所述数据金属层进行刻蚀,从而形成源极14、漏极15以及数据线的图案。
接下来,在形成源极14、漏极15以及数据线的图案的基板上,可以通过形成一层钝化层。
接下来,在形成有钝化层上,通过构图工艺制作过孔,用于露出部分漏极15。
最后,在形成有过孔的基板上,通过构图工艺形成像素电极,使得像素电极通过上述过孔与漏极15相连接。
当然,上述仅仅是对设置有如图2a所示的TFT的一种阵列基板制作方法的举例说明。其他类型的阵列基板,例如设置如图2b或2c所示的TFT的阵列基板,或者同时设置有像素电极和公共电极的阵列基板等,在此不再一一赘述,但都应当属于本公开的保护范围。
本公开实施例提供一种薄膜晶体管,如图2a、图2b或图2c所示,可以包括栅极11、栅极绝缘层12、半导体有源层13、以及源极14和漏极15。其中,半导体有源层13主要有硼化镧构成。
可选地,半导体有源层13的厚度可以为10nm~500nm。由于TFT的性能会受到组成该TFT的各个薄膜层的影响。其中半导体有源层又是对其影响最为严重的部分之一。当上述硼化镧薄膜层的厚度小于10nm或大于500nm时,
会降低TFT性能的稳定性,从而降低了产品的良率。
这样一来,可以采用硼化镧构成的半导体材料构成有源层。镧元素虽然是稀土元素,但在地壳中的丰度30ppm,远大于铟元素在地壳中的丰度,而且镧元素的年均消耗量也远小于铟元素。因此,由硼化镧构成的半导体有源层相比于含铟的半导体有源层具有明显的成本和可持续使用的优势。此外,硼化镧的镧元素位于立方体体心,每六个硼元素组成一个正八面体,每个正八面体的体心位于立方体的顶点上,相邻的晶格中的镧元素具有一定的电子轨道交叠,形成电子通道。因此,硼化镧具有很高的迁移率和导电性,从而使得由硼化镧构成的半导体有源层的电子迁移率高,使得薄膜晶体管具有较高的开关电流比高,有利于控制器件的漏电;同时,可以有效地提高器件的充电率,进而提高显示器件的显示效果。
本公开实施例提供一种阵列基板,包括如上所述的任意一种薄膜晶体管,具有与前述实施例提供的薄膜晶体管相同的结构和有益效果,由于前述实施例已经对薄膜晶体管的结构和有益效果进行了详细的描述,此处不再赘述。
本公开实施例提供一种显示装置,包括如上所述的阵列基板。该显示装置可以是液晶显示装置,例如该显示装置可以为液晶显示器、液晶电视、数码相框、手机或平板电脑等任何具有显示功能的产品或者部件。具有与前述实施例提供的阵列基板相同的结构和有益效果,由于前述实施例已经对阵列基板的结构和有益效果进行了详细的描述,此处不再赘述。
以上所述,仅为本公开的具体实施方式,但本公开的保护范围并不局限于此,任何熟悉本技术领域的技术人员在本公开揭露的技术范围内,可轻易想到变化或替换,都应涵盖在本公开的保护范围之内。因此,本公开的保护范围应以所述权利要求的保护范围为准。
