请参阅图1,图1为本发明一较佳实施方式的薄膜晶体管的剖面结构示意图。所述薄膜晶体管10包括基板110及设置在所述基板110同侧的栅区120、绝缘层130、第一导电部141、第二导电部142、源区150、漏区160、有源层170及钝化层180。所述栅区120设置在所述基板110的表面;所述绝缘层130覆盖所述栅区120;所述第一导电部141设置在所述绝缘层130远离所述栅区120的表面上;所述第二导电部142设置在所述绝缘层130远离所述栅区120的表面上,且所述第二导电部142与所述第一导电部141间隔设置;所述源区150设置在所述第一导电部141远离所述绝缘层130的表面上;所述漏区160设置在所述第二导电部142远离所述绝缘层130的表面上;所述有源层170设置在所述绝缘层130远离所述栅区120的表面上,且所述有源层170相对的两端分别与所述源区150及所述漏区160电连接;所述钝化层180覆盖所述源区150、所述漏区160及所述有源层170。
在本实施方式中,所述基板110为对外光的透光率超过预设透光率的绝缘衬底。所述预设透光率可以为但不仅限于为90%。所述基板110的材料包括石英、云母、氧化铝或者透明塑料等电绝缘材料中的任意一种或者多种。所述基板110为绝缘层衬底能够减小所述基板110的高频损耗。
所述栅区120包括第一端面121、第二端面122及第三端面123。所述第一端面121与所述基板110接触,所述第二端面122与所述第三端面123相对 设置,且所述第二端面122与所述第三端面123均与所述第一端面121相交。所述第二端面122相较于所述第三端面123邻近所述源区150设置,所述第三端面123相较于所述第二端面122邻近所述漏区160设置。所述第二端面122与有源层170面向所述源区150的端面共面,所述第三端面123与所述有源层170面向所述漏区160的端面共面。
由于所述栅区120的所述第二端面122与有源层170面向所述源区150的端面共面,所述栅区120的所述第三端面123与所述有源层170面向所述漏区160的端面共面。因此,所述栅区120与所述源区150之间不存在绝缘层介质侧墙且所述栅区120与所述漏区160之间不存在绝缘介质侧墙了,从而抑制了所述薄膜晶体管10中可能存在的寄生电阻效应。进一步地,由于所述栅区120的所述第二端面122与有源层170面向所述源区150的端面共面,所述栅区120的所述第三端面123与所述有源层170面向所述漏区160的端面共面,所述栅区120与所述源区150之间没有交叠,所述栅区120与所述漏区160之间没有交叠,因此,所述栅区120与所述源区150之间的寄生电容较小,所述栅区120与所述漏区160之间的寄生电容较小。
更进一步地,本发明的薄膜晶体管10中的所述栅区120、所述源区150及所述漏区160可以做得较厚,而不会明显增加所述栅区120与所述栅区150之间的寄生电容以及所述栅区120与所述漏区160之间的寄生电容。且较厚的栅区120、较厚的源区150及较厚的楼安全160能够减小这些电极区域自身的电阻,也能抑制这些电极区域产生的寄生电阻。优选地,所述栅区120的厚度为1500~6000埃,所述源区150的厚度为2000~5000埃,所述漏区160的厚度为2000~5000埃。

S105,形成覆盖所述透明氧化物半导体膜层的第一光阻层。
S106,以所述栅区120为掩膜,自所述第二表面112对所述第一光阻层进行曝光,移除未被所述栅区120遮挡的第一光阻层,保留被所述栅区遮挡的第一光阻层以形成对应所述栅区的第一光阻图案。
S107,以所述第一光阻图案为掩膜,对未被所述第一光阻图案覆盖的透明氧化物半导体膜层进行离子注入或者紫外光照射,以分别得到第一导电部141及第二导电部142,被所述第一光阻图案覆盖的透明氧化物半导体膜层为有源层170。在本实施方式中,所述离子注入为氢离子注入。
经过测试表明,透明氧化物材料膜层通过不同时间的紫外光照射,其导电性能会发生明显变化,迁移率和载流子的浓度随着紫外光照射时间的延长而增加,即,具备良好的导电性能。以所述透明氧化物材料膜层为IGZO为例,经过测试表明,经过紫外光照射4个小时,经过照射的透明氧化物材料膜层的部分的电阻率(resistivity)为4.6*10-3,迁移率(hall mobility)为14.6cm2/V,载流子浓度(carrier concentration)为1.6*1012cm2,且经过一段时间(本测试采用4周)的老化测试,被紫外线照射的透明氧化物材料膜层的导电性能、迁移率及载流子的浓度几乎没有发生变化。
S108,沉积透明导电氧化物膜层,并剥离所述第一光阻图案。
S109,在所述透明导电氧化物膜层上沉积第二光阻层。
S110,对所述第二光阻层进行图案化,以定义出设置在所述第一导电部141远离所述绝缘层130的表面上的源区150,以及设置在所述第二导电部142远离所述绝缘层130的表面上的漏区160,并剥离所述第二光阻层。具体地,所述步骤S110包括:对所述第二光阻层进行图案化,以定义出设置在所述第 一导电部141远离所述绝缘层130的表面上的源区150,设置在所述第二导电142部远离所述绝缘层130的表面上的漏区160,以及设置在第二导电部142远离所述绝缘层130的表面上的与所述漏区160同层设置且与所述漏区160电连接的像素电极190。制备所述源区150、所述漏区160(及所述像素电极190)的过程使用了第二道光罩。
S111,形成覆盖所述源区150、所述漏区160及所述有源层170的钝化层180。
相较于现有技术,本发明的薄膜晶体管的制备方法中采用两道光罩工艺制备出了薄膜晶体管,从而减小了光罩的使用次数,简化了薄膜晶体管的制程。且本发明的薄膜晶体管10中的源区150通过第一导电部141与有源层170接触,减小了源区150与有源层170之间的接触电阻,提升了源区150与有源层170之间的接触特性;另外,本发明的薄膜晶体管10中的漏区160通过第二导电部142与有源层170接触,减小了漏区160与有源层170之间的接触电阻,提升了漏区160与有源层170之间的接触特性。以上所揭露的仅为本发明一种较佳实施例而已,当然不能以此来限定本发明之权利范围,本领域普通技术人员可以理解实现上述实施例的全部或部分流程,并依本发明权利要求所作的等同变化,仍属于发明所涵盖的范围。
