Description

薄膜晶体管及其制作方法以及阵列基板、显示装置 技术领域
本公开的实施例涉及一种薄膜晶体管、一种薄膜晶体管制作方法、一种阵列基板和一种显示装置。
背景技术
目前研究较多的氧化物半导体材料包括IGZO(铟镓锌氧化物)、ITZO(铟锡锌氧化物)等,在这些氧化物材料中存在大量的氧空位缺陷态,氧空位缺陷态中包含两个电子,当晶体管(TFT)中的这些氧化物受到光照射时,氧空位中在电子受到激发跃迁到氧化物材料的导带附近;当去掉光照后,由氧空位引起的光生电子恢复到基态的速度较慢,从而导致TFT的漏电流较大,TFT光稳定性较差。
目前,业界多采用遮光有机材料,如resin,BM(Black Matrix),CF(Color Filter)等材料对氧化物TFT(主要是有源层部分)进行遮光处理,降低照射到TFT上的光强度,从而减少光照对TFT特性的影响。如图1所述,利用resin材料制作遮光层遮挡TFT,降低照射到TFT上的光强,可有效改善光照对氧化物TFT特性的影响。

具体实施方式
为使本公开实施例的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合本公开实施例的附图,对本公开实施例的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述。显然,所描述的实施例是本公开的一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于所描述的本公开的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在无需创造性劳动的前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本公开保护的范围。
图4示出了根据本公开一个实施例的薄膜晶体管,包括:
有源层1;
设置在有源层1之下的光保护层2,光保护层2用于吸收预定波长的光。
影响有源层1光稳定性的主要缺陷态氧空位的能级为2.3eV,对应的光波长为:
Figure PCTCN2015093394-appb-000001
即波长小于539nm的光都会激发氧空位从而影响有源层1乃至整个驱动晶体管的稳定性。
通过在有源层1之下设置光保护层2,可以吸收射向有源层1的预定波长(例如小于539nm)的光,从而避免波长较短的光射入有源层1,避免了在有源层1中产生氧空位,保证了有源层1和整个驱动晶体管的稳定性。
在图4所示的实施例中,所述薄膜晶体管还包括:
基底3;
设置在基底3之上的栅极4;
设置在栅极4之上的栅绝缘层5;
设置在栅绝缘层5之上,且与有源层1相接触的源极6和漏极7;
其中,有源层1设置在栅绝缘层5之上。
图4示出了底栅结构的驱动晶体管结构,即栅极4设置在基底上。通过在有源层1下方设置光保护层2,当存在位于基底3底部的光源,使得光从薄膜晶体管底部射入时,能够有效地吸收射入光,保证有源层1的稳定。
图5示出了根据本公开的另一个实施例的薄膜晶体管,该薄膜晶体管与图4中所示的晶体管的差异在于,光保护层2设置在有源层1上方,当存在位于薄膜晶体管顶部的光源,使得光从薄膜晶体管顶部射入时,能够有效地吸收射入光,从而保证有源层1的稳定。
如图6所示,在根据本公开的又一个实施例中,还可以在有源层1的上方及下方都设置光保护层,当在薄膜晶体管的顶部和底部都存在光源时,能够有效地吸收从两个方向射入的光,从而保证有源层1的稳定。
如图7所示,根据本公开的一个实施例的顶栅型薄膜晶体管还包括:
基底3;
设置在基底3之上,且与有源层1相接触的源极6和漏极7;
设置在源极6和漏极7之上的栅绝缘层5;
设置在栅绝缘层5之上的栅极4,
其中,有源层1设置在基底3之上。
在图7所示的顶栅型薄膜晶体管结构中,栅极4设置在栅绝缘层5之上,而栅绝缘层5设置在沟道区之上。通过在有源层1下方设置光保护层2,当存在位于基底3底部的光源,使得光从薄膜晶体管底部射入时,能够有效地吸收射入光,从而保证有源层1的稳定。
图8示出了根据本公开的一个实施例的顶栅型薄膜晶体管,其中,可以在有源层1上方设置光保护层2。当存在位于薄膜晶体管顶部的光源,使得光从薄膜晶体管顶部射入时,能够有效地吸收射入光,从而保证有源层1的稳定。
如图9示出了根据本公开的另一个实施例的顶栅型薄膜晶体管,其中,进一步地,还可以在有源层1的上方及下方都设置光保护层,当在薄膜晶体管的顶部和底部都存在光源时,能够有效地吸收从两个方向射入的光,从而保证有源层1的稳定。
在本公开的一个实施例中,有源层1和光保护层2宽度相等。可以先形成有源层1和光保护层2,,然后通过一道光刻工艺对两个层进行蚀刻,简化制作流程。
在本公开的一个实施例中,光保护层2的宽度大于有源层1的宽度。由于射向有源层1的光一般都不是垂直射入,将光保护层2的宽度设置的比有 源层1宽,在光非垂直地射向有源层1时,光保护层2仍能够吸收其中波长较短的光,以保证有源层1的稳定性。
例如,光保护层2用于吸收波长小于539nm的光波。
例如,光保护层2的禁带宽度大于1.1eV且小于2.3eV,且透过率低于70%。采用光透过率较低的材料,在保证吸收入射光的同时,还能保证透射到光保护层2另一侧的光较少,亦可减少光对有源层1的影响。
例如,光保护层2的材料为金属氧化物,该金属氧化物包含氟、氯、溴、硫、碳、碘、硒中的至少一种阴离子,以及硼、铝、镓、铟、锡、钛、铪、硅中的至少一种阳离子。包含这些阴离子中的至少一种和这些阳离子的至少一种的金属氧化物具有禁带宽度小(即可吸收波长较短的光),光稳定性强,光透过率低的特点。
有源层1可与光保护层2的材料相同或不同,包括但不限于铟(In),镓(Ga),锌(Zn),铪(Hf),锡(Sn),铝(Al)等金属元素中的至少一种所形成的金属氧化物半导体,如ZnO,InZnO(IZO),ZnSnO(ZTO),InSnZnO(ITZO),GaZnO(GZO),InGaZnO(IGZO),HfInZnO(HIZO),SnInO(ITO),AlInZnO(AIZO)等。
例如,光保护层2的材料为锌基氮氧化物。
锌基氮氧化物(ZnON)的禁带宽度为1.3eV,可吸收波长小于
Figure PCTCN2015093394-appb-000002
的光,所以ZnON吸收波长小于953nm的可见光以及紫外光,并对紫外/可见光范围内的光的透过率很低,起到吸收长波并降低光强的目的。
图10和图11示出了ZnON与其他材料的稳定性的比较结果。由于材料中的氧空位一般取决于材料中氧离子的数量,如图10所示,ZnON中的阴离子包含氧离子和氮离子,而IGZO中的阴离子则只包含氧离子,所以IGZO中的氧空位数量多于ZnON中的氧空位数量。而且,ZnON的价带顶高于IGZO的价带顶,所以相对于IGZO的氧空位中的电子,ZnON的氧空位中的电子需要吸收更多的能量才能从价带跃迁到导带。综合上述两种原因,ZnON的氧空位比IGZO少,而且氧空位缺态(即失去电子的氧空位)也更少。
另外,如图11所示,ZnON在暗处和光照两种情况下,迁移率和稳定性 的变化都相对较小,而GIZO和IZO在暗处和光照两种情况下,迁移率和稳定性的变化都相对较大。可见,ZnON相对于GIZO和IZO的光稳定性更强,作为光保护层2能够更好地吸收波长较短的光,而不易发生变化。
例如,光保护层2的厚度为5-100nm。该厚度的光保护层具有较低的光透过率。
本公开的至少一个实施例还提出了一种显示装置,包括上述任一种薄膜晶体管。
需要说明的是,本公开的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。
本公开的至少一个实施例还提供了一种制作薄膜晶体管的方法,如图12所示,所述方法包括:
S1,形成有源层1;
S2,在有源层1之上和/或在有源层1之下形成光保护层2,光保护层2用于吸收预定波长的光波。
在本公开的一个实施例中,在形成有源层1之前,所述方法包括:
在基底3之上形成栅极4;
在栅极4之上形成栅绝缘层5;
在栅绝缘层5之上形成与有源层1相接触的源极6和漏极7,
形成有源层1包括:在栅绝缘层5之上形成有源层1。
在本公开的一个实施例中,形成有源层1包括:在基底3上形成有源层1;
所述方法还包括:
在基底3上形成与有源层1相接触的源极6和漏极7;
在源极6和漏极7之上形成栅绝缘层5;
在栅绝缘层5之上形成栅极4。
需要说明的是,上述形成层的操作,包括但不仅限于(化学相、物理相)沉积成膜、(磁控)溅射成膜,并且本领域技术人员可以理解,在形成每个层之后,可以根据需要进一步对该层形成相应的图案,本公开的实施例对此不再赘述。
在本公开的实施例中,通过在有源层上方设置光保护层,能够吸收从薄膜晶体管上方射入沟道区的光,通过在有源层下方设置光保护层,能够吸收从薄膜晶体管下方射入沟道区的光,从而有效避免光对沟道区的有源层造成影响,保证薄膜晶体管中的驱动晶体管具有较强的光稳定性。
