本发明涉及液晶显示器的测试领域,尤其涉及一种检测TFT阵列基板的缺陷的方法。
背景技术
TFT液晶显示器以其轻便、环保、高性能等优点获得了日渐普遍的应用。随着液晶显示器应用领域的扩大,其尺寸也越做越大。目前生产的65寸单屏液晶显示器,其屏幕的分辨率可以达到1920*1080。在如此高的集成度下,产品的不良率也会相应增加。加强在液晶显示器批量生产时的质量检查,及时发现抽检的阵列基板的缺陷以及分析阵列基板产生缺陷的原因,也日显其重要性。
现有技术针对上述情况还没有十分有效的检测方法,目前常用的检测手段主要为,检测人员根据经验大致判断出阵列基板的可能存在缺陷的异常区域,并对异常区域进行切割以供分析。这种方式只能粗略地定位到可能具有缺陷的薄膜晶体管,却很难定位到存在异常的具体膜层,且经过切割发现异常点后很难对异常点(比如断路点或短路点等)的大小、范围以及周边结构进行进一步分析。此外,这种方法还容易因切割而对膜层造成损坏进而影响分析结果。
目前,TFT阵列基板的集成度越来越高,膜层越来越多,且每一层膜都是逐层叠加,因此,当全部工序完成后,存在缺陷的膜层就有可能被覆盖在下面。在COA(color filter on array)技术中,还将色阻层整合到阵列基板上,使得发生异常的膜层更不易被发现。
因此,亟需一种能够有效地确定TFT阵列基板的缺陷的位置的方法以解决上述问题。
发明内容
本发明所要解决的技术问题之一是需要提供一种能够有效地确定TFT阵列基板的缺陷的位置的方法。
为了解决上述技术问题,本申请的实施例提供了一种检测TFT阵列基板的缺陷的方法,包括:定位TFT阵列基板上的异常区域;将异常区域与基板上的其他区域进行隔离;对异常区域进行处理,使所述异常区域处的多膜层逐层显露,并对显露出来的膜层进行检测从而确定所述异常区域处存在缺陷的膜层。
优选地,采用蚀刻的方法依次去除各膜层,使所述异常区域处的多膜层逐层显露。
优选地,所选取的蚀刻剂及对应的蚀刻时间,使每一次蚀刻仅蚀刻待蚀刻的膜层,而不会损坏待检测的膜层。
优选地,在检测到缺陷存在的膜层时停止检测,或在完成对异常区域处的每一层膜层的检测后停止检测。
优选地,采用特定形状的隔离板将所述异常区域与基板上的其他区域进行隔离。
优选地,将异常区域与基板上的其他区域进行隔离的步骤进一步包括:利用特定形状的隔离板覆盖所述异常区域;在其他区域涂覆形成保护层后,去除所述隔离板。
优选地,保护层包括塔菲胶。
优选地,若异常区域位于薄膜晶体管处,则该方法具体包括以下步骤:步骤一、用隔离板覆盖所述异常区域的上方;步骤二、在其他区域涂覆塔菲胶形成保护层后,去掉所述隔离板;步骤三、利用磷酸或HF蚀刻掉第一钝化层,使源漏金属层显露;利用测试设备对所述源漏金属层进行检测,若发现缺陷则停止检测,若未发现缺陷则执行步骤四;步骤四、蚀刻所述源漏金属层,使欧姆接触层显露;利用测试设备对所述欧姆接触层进行检测,若发现缺陷则停止检测,若未发现缺陷则执行步骤五;步骤五、蚀刻所述欧姆接触层,使半导体层显露;利用测试设备对所述半导体层进行检测,若发现缺陷则停止检测,若未发现缺陷则执行步骤六;步骤六、依次蚀刻所述半导体层和栅极保护层,使栅极金属层显露;利用测试设备对所述栅极金属层进行检测。
优选地,若异常区域的薄膜晶体管的上方还具有色阻层和第二钝化层,则在步骤三之前还包括:利用磷酸或HF蚀刻掉第二钝化层,使所述色阻层显露;利 用测试设备对所述色阻层进行检测;利用强碱蚀刻掉色阻层,使位于薄膜晶体管最外层的第一钝化层显露。
优选地,隔离板为圆形或椭圆形铁片,隔离板的面积根据异常区域的范围确定。
与现有技术相比,上述方案中的一个或多个实施例可以具有如下优点或有益效果:
通过对TFT阵列基板的多膜层结构进行逐层解析,降低了测试中多膜层结构的不同层别之间的交互影响,提高了对基板的缺陷进行检测的能力,并进一步减少了分析作业时间,提升了分析能力。将该方法用于新产品的开发,可以减少产品的开发时间,提升产品的竞争力。

图2(a)-(g)为采用本申请实施例的方法对TFT阵列基板进行缺陷检测的示意图;
图3(a)-(f)为采用本申请实施例的方法对COA阵列基板进行缺陷检测的示意图。
具体实施方式
以下将结合附图及实施例来详细说明本发明的实施方式,借此对本发明如何应用技术手段来解决技术问题,并达成相应技术效果的实现过程能充分理解并据以实施。本申请实施例以及实施例中的各个特征,在不相冲突前提下可以相互结合,所形成的技术方案均在本发明的保护范围之内。
TFT阵列基板具有经过多步成膜工艺形成的多膜层结构。用于形成多膜层结构的工艺步骤包括洗净、CVD成膜、Sputter成膜、曝光、显影与剥离、湿蚀刻以及干蚀刻等。在上述各工艺步骤中,每一个步骤都有可能导致膜层发生异常,例如TFT阵列基板的短路、断路等。因此,在基板的批量生产中,需要多次对基板进行抽样检测。进一步地,抽取发生异常的阵列基板作为样品进行缺陷的定位和解析,以准确定位存在异常的具体膜层,并找到产生缺陷的原因,从而对该批量生产中有相同缺陷的其他阵列基板进行相应的修复,有利于提高生产效率与产品的良品率。在本申请的实施例中,提出了一种对TFT阵列基板的多膜层进行检测的方法来定位存在缺陷的具体膜层。
图1为本申请实施例的检测TFT阵列基板的缺陷的方法的流程示意图,该方法包括以下步骤:
步骤S110、定位TFT阵列基板上的异常区域;步骤S120、将所述异常区域与基板上的其他区域进行隔离;步骤S130、对所述异常区域进行处理,使所述异常区域处的多膜层逐层显露,并对显露出来的膜层进行检测从而确定所述异常区域处存在缺陷的膜层。
首先初步确定TFT阵列基板可能存在内部缺陷的范围。阵列基板的内部缺陷可能导致明显的外部故障,例如液晶显示屏的色彩异常或存在黑点等。通过观察外部故障,可以初步确定一个可能存在内部缺陷的大致范围。接下来,利用通用的基板检测设备在上述范围内进一步缩小并确定存在内部缺陷的区域,即异常区域。常用的基板检测设备包括断路或短路检验装置、光学自动外观检查装置、阵列检测装置等。
然后将异常区域与阵列基板上的其他区域进行隔离。在本申请的实施例中,采用特定形状的隔离板将异常区域与基板上的其他区域进行隔离。具体的,隔离板的形状和面积根据异常区域的范围来确定。隔离板的尺寸偏大有可能引入相邻像素单元的影响,隔离板的尺寸偏小则不利于后续的检测操作,通常可以将隔离板的面积取为比异常区域的范围大10%~30%。隔离板的材料需要保证隔离板与待解析的膜层不发生反应或离子析出,以免对隔离板覆盖的下层膜层造成破坏。举例而言,制作隔离板的材料可以选择铬,铁,铜或聚醋酸乙烯脂等。
接下来在隔离板的周围涂敷特定的材料形成保护层。应保证所形成的保护层不被后续步骤中将使用的物理或化学的方法所破坏。举例而言,采用塔菲胶形成保护层。进一步地,对于保护层的厚度不做限定,可以在0.1mm~10mm的范围 内进行设定。在涂敷保护层的材料时应注意,尽可能使保护层的材料与隔离板不接触,这样可以在保护层形成之后直接取下隔离板。若保护层的材料涂敷到隔离板上,则需要采用蚀刻的方法去除隔离板,将增加工时与成本。
去除隔离板后,之前被隔离板覆盖的地方显露出来,在垂直于液晶显示屏表面的方向上实现了异常区域与其他区域之间的隔离,当采用物理或化学的方法逐层去除各膜层时,被保护层覆盖的地方就不会被破坏。
针对异常区域处的多膜层进行膜层解析具体包括:对异常区域进行处理,使异常区域处的多膜层逐层显露,并对显露出来的膜层进行检测。通过膜层解析可以确定缺陷所在的膜层。具体的,对使异常区域处的多膜层逐层显露的方法不做限定,可以采用多种化学手段或物理手段。具体工艺流程可以参照现有的成膜工艺过程进行确定,其大致相当于成膜工艺过程的逆过程,去除各层膜层所需的时间和压力等视所采用的设备以及膜层的厚度而定。进一步地,所选取的蚀刻剂及对应的蚀刻时间,使每一次蚀刻仅蚀刻待蚀刻的膜层,而不会损坏待检测的膜层。举例而言,去除各膜层的去除液可以根据所要去除的膜层进行确定,有机膜可以使用强酸如氢氯酸(HCL)等进行湿蚀刻,无机膜可以使用中性酸如氢氟酸(HF)、磷酸(H3PO4)或有机碱四氢呋喃等进行湿蚀刻。同时,在去除膜层时应采用高的膜层选择比,以确保在去除上层膜层的时候,下层膜层可以免于被破坏,膜层的完整性是实现精确测量的基础。
在去除一层膜层之前还要对该膜层进行测试。膜层测试包括使用多种测试设备对膜层的外观品质、表面形状、膜厚度、膜硬度、密着强度、化学稳定性、热稳定性以及刻蚀性等做全面的检测,根据检测的结果来确定该膜层是否存在缺陷,并进一步分析缺陷产生的原因。举例而言,使用傅氏转换红外线光谱分析仪(Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy,FTIR)对膜层进行异物分析(外观品质分析),使用紫外分光光谱仪对膜层进行膜质分析(膜厚度、膜硬度、化学稳定性分析等)等。
举例而言,对如图2所示的TFT阵列基板进行缺陷检测,图2(a)中的虚线所包围的区域为异常区域,可以看出,该异常区域位于薄膜晶体管处,进一步地,该薄膜晶体管由第一钝化层201、源漏金属层202、欧姆接触层203、半导体层204、栅极保护层205以及栅极金属层206组成,对其进行缺陷检测时具体包括以下步骤:
步骤一、用隔离板覆盖在虚线框所示出的异常区域的上方。如图2(b)所 示,隔离板208为圆形或椭圆形,面积为异常区域面积的1.2倍,由金属铁制成,将其覆盖在待检测的异常区域的上方。
步骤二、在其他区域涂覆塔菲胶形成保护层209后,去掉隔离板208,则未被塔菲胶覆盖的第一钝化层201将显露出来,被塔菲胶覆盖的其他区域将被保护,保护层209的厚度为3mm,如图2(c)所示。
步骤三、利用磷酸或HF蚀刻掉第一钝化层201,使源漏金属层202显露;利用测试设备对源漏金属层202进行检测,若发现缺陷则停止检测,若未发现缺陷则执行步骤四,如图2(d)所示。具体的,当钝化层的主要材质为SiNx时,可以采用氢氟酸(HF)作为去除液。将经过隔离处理的待检测的基板浸入上述去除液中6分钟即可将SiNx保护层蚀刻掉,上述过程所发生的反应的化学方程式为,Si3N4+4HF+9H2O=3H2SiO3+4NH4F。
步骤四、蚀刻源漏金属层202,使欧姆接触层203显露;利用测试设备对欧姆接触层203进行检测,若发现缺陷则停止检测,若未发现缺陷则执行步骤五,如图2(e)所示。
步骤五、蚀刻欧姆接触层203,使半导体层204显露;利用测试设备对半导体层204进行检测,若发现缺陷则停止检测,若未发现缺陷则执行步骤六,如图2(f)所示。
步骤六、依次蚀刻半导体层204和栅极保护层205,使栅极金属层206显露;利用测试设备对栅极金属层206进行检测,如图2(g)所示。
除此之外,图2中207为像素电极,其位于上述异常区域以外。在对薄膜晶体管异常区域处的各膜层进行检测时,由于保护层209的作用,不会对像素电极207造成影响。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例给出了针对某一像素单元内的薄膜晶体管区域的缺陷进行检测的示例,但本申请实施例中的检测方法也可以用于对像素单元内部的薄膜晶体管以外的其他多膜层区域进行检测,还可以用于对两个像素单元之间的多膜层区域进行检测,在此不做具体限定。在采用本申请实施例的方法进行检测时,将待检测的多膜层独立于其周围的结构隔离出来,以降低周围的膜层结构对待检测膜层的影响。
采用本申请实施例的基板检测方法,可以进一步节省测试设备,降低测试成本,减少测试时间。例如在上述测试过程中,只使用一台FTIR设备就可以完成对膜层的异物分析。而在现有的基板检测技术中,需要借助FTIR设备、原子分 析仪以及紫外分光光谱仪等多台仪器共同完成对膜层的异物分析。因为FITR测试主要是进行表面测试,所以需要再结合原子分析仪,紫外分光光谱仪对叠层膜层进行分析才能得到待测膜层的结果,浪费了大量的资源与测试时间。更进一步地,由于每层膜层的分子结构都各不相同,因此即使耗用多台设备也难以得到准确的膜层数据。而采用本申请实施例的阵列基板的检测方法,削弱了不同层别之间的交互影响,提高了检测的精度。
综上,通过对TFT阵列基板上的各膜层进行分层解析可以减少分析作业时间,提升分析能力。将该方法用于新产品的开发,可以减少产品的开发时间,对提升产品竞争力有非常大的帮助。进一步地,本申请实施例的多膜层解析方法适用于多种结构的TFT阵列基板,包括顶栅结构的阵列基板、底栅结构的阵列基板以及COA阵列基板等。
以下结合膜层结构更为复杂的COA阵列基板来说明本申请实施例的方法的实施过程。图3(a)-(f)为采用本申请实施例的方法对COA阵列基板进行缺陷检测的示意图。
图3(a)示出的是该COA阵列基板的像素单元的具体结构,可以看出,与图2相比,该COA阵列基板还增加了色阻层210与覆盖色阻层的第二钝化层211。在对该COA阵列基板进行缺陷检测时具体包括以下步骤:
步骤一、用隔离板覆盖在异常区域的上方。具体如图3(b)所示,隔离板208为圆形或椭圆形,面积为异常区域面积的1.2倍,由金属铁制成,将其覆盖在待检测的异常区域的上方。
步骤二、在其他区域涂覆塔菲胶形成保护层后,去掉隔离板。具体如图3(b)所示,在异常区域以外的其他区域涂敷塔菲胶形成保护层209,保护层的厚度为3mm。进一步地如图3(c)所示,将隔离板去掉,异常区域以外的地方将被塔菲胶形成的保护层保护起来。
步骤三、利用磷酸或HF蚀刻掉第二钝化层211,使色阻层210显露,利用测试设备对色阻层进行检测,若发现缺陷则停止检测,若未发现缺陷则执行步骤四。如图3(d)所示,当钝化层的主要材质为SiNx时,采用氢氟酸(HF)作为去除液。将经过隔离处理的待检测的基板浸入去除液中6分钟即可将SiNx保护层去除,反应的化学方程式为,Si3N4+4HF+9H2O=3H2SiO3+4NH4F。
步骤四、利用强碱蚀刻掉色阻层210,使位于薄膜晶体管最外层的第一钝化层201显露。若不存在缺陷,则采用强碱作为去除液将色阻层蚀刻掉,优选采用 单乙醇胺。将经过隔离处理的待检测的基板浸入去除液中,加热到75度之后,浸泡25分钟即可将色阻层去除。如图3(e)所示。经过上述步骤,薄膜晶体管的第一钝化层201显露出来。接下来可以采用前述方法步骤完成检测,此处不再赘述。
需要说明的是,对阵列基板进行缺陷检测时,一般可以在检测到存在缺陷的膜层就停止检测,但考虑到多膜层之间会相互影响,因此,也可以继续完成对所有膜层的测试后再停止检测。另外,如果基板上存在多处不能正常显示的区域,还需要逐一对各区域分别进行检测。
本申请实施例的方法还适用于OLED显示屏的测试和维修领域,在提高维修效率的同时,还能保证维修质量。
虽然本发明所揭露的实施方式如上,但所述的内容只是为了便于理解本发明而采用的实施方式,并非用以限定本发明。任何本发明所属技术领域内的技术人员,在不脱离本发明所揭露的精神和范围的前提下,可以在实施的形式上及细节上作任何的修改与变化,但本发明的专利保护范围,仍须以所附的权利要求书所界定的范围为准。
