Description
本发明涉及显示器技术领域,特别是涉及一种TFT基板的制作方法。
随着TFT技术的发展,TFT(Thin Film
Transistor,薄膜晶体管)制程Mask(光罩)需求从5/6
Mask降到现在主流的4Mask,成本大大降低。每减少一道Mask,机器物料时间成本都会下降较多,大大提高产品竞争力。3Mask
TFT因其节约一道Mask,较大幅度降低成本,相关技术较热门。
目前3Mask TFT技术大部分是通过把PV(钝化)层与Pixel
(像素)ITO(氧化铟锡)层在一道Mask内完成,但所遇到PR(光阻)上的ITO剥离问题。通常PR上沉积Pixel
ITO后剥离时间较长,影响生产节拍时间,以及PR剥离残留和毛边问题都会严重影响制程或产品性能。另外,目前所用的PR/PV低切方法必须经过PV层刻蚀才能形成,因此ITO与PV层出现较大的表面台阶,影响产品特性。
因此,现有技术存在缺陷,急需改进。
本发明的目的在于提供一种改进的TFT基板的制作方法。

以下将结合图2-4对以上TFT基板的制作方法的步骤进行详细描述。
请参考图2,图2为本发明一较佳实施例的第一道光罩工艺示意图。下面结合图2由上至下所示理解本发明步骤S101。
在步骤S101中,首先可以采用在CVD(Chemical Vapor
Deposition,化学气相沉积)法在基板1000上形成第一金属层10,该金属层10可以由铬(Cr)、铬的合金材料或者钼钽(Mo
Ta)合金、铝(Al)以及铝合金材料制作。然后,在第一金属层10上涂布厚度均匀的光阻11,通过第一道光罩对涂布的光阻11曝光、显影,再进行刻蚀后形成TFT栅极101。第一道光罩可以为普通光罩。
参考图3,图3为本发明一较佳实施例的第二道光罩工艺示意图。下面结合图3由上至下所示理解本发明步骤S102。
在步骤S102中,首先TFT栅极101和基板1000未被TFT栅极101覆盖的部分上,依次沉积第一绝缘层20、有源层30和第二金属层40,然后在第二金属层40上涂布光阻41,通过第二道光罩对涂布的光阻41曝光、显影,然后进行刻蚀,形成图形化处理后与TFT栅极101相对的有有源层30,且使得第二金属层40在图形化处理后的有源层30的两端,分别形成间隔设置的源极401和漏极402。
其中,沉积的方式有多种,比如可采用CVD法沉积。第二道光罩可为半色调光罩或灰色调光罩。第一绝缘层20可以是一层结构,也可以是两层结构。第一层结构可以为SiO、SiNx或AIO。第二层结构一般可采用SiNx制成。有源层30与TFT栅极101相对,其可以由半导体材料制成,如A-Si。第二金属层40,则可以采用铝合金、金属铝或金属铬制作。源极401用于连接数据信号线,漏极402用于连接像素电极。
参考图4,图4为本发明一较佳实施例的第三道光罩工艺示意图。下面结合图4由上至下所示理解本发明步骤S103。
在步骤S103中,首先通过CVD法在源极401、漏极402、有源层30上未被源极40和漏极402覆盖的部分,以及第一绝缘层20上未被有源层30覆盖的部分,形成第二绝缘层(即钝化层)50,其制备材料可以为SiNx、SiO等。然后,在第二绝缘层50上涂布厚度均匀的光阻层60。再通过第三道光罩对光阻层60进行曝光、显影,从而形成具有第一厚度的第一光阻层601和具有第二厚度的第二光阻层602,第二厚度大于第一厚度,使得第一光阻层601与第二光阻层602间隔设置,从而形成用于界定第二绝缘层50中待挖孔部分的间隔区A。然后通过干法刻蚀去除间隔区A下方的第二绝缘层部分,从而在第二绝缘层50中形成一漏极通孔B,露出用于对应的漏极表面。其中,露出的漏极表面小于或等于源极上表面的1/2,具体实施时刻设为1/3。该第三道光罩可以为半色调光罩或灰色调光罩。
继续参考图4,在步骤S104中,在形成漏极通孔B后,可采用光阻灰化方式使得厚度较薄的第一光阻层601脱落,从而露出对应的第二绝缘层表面,同时将厚度较厚的第二光阻层602打薄。比如,在理想情况下,若第一光阻层601的厚度为d,第二光阻层的厚度为3d,则进行光阻灰化后第二光阻层602的厚度为2d。
接着对第二光阻层602进行制绒处理,通过刻蚀或其他方式使得第二光阻层602雾化,从而在光阻表面形成凹凸有致的绒面。其中,该绒面可为凸起的纳米柱,纳米柱在光阻平面上高度可为10A~10000A。纳米柱之间距离可以10A~20000A。光阻制绒采用的气体可为Ar、O3、He、SF6、CF4、C4F8气体中的单种或混合气体,刻蚀气压可为5mT~10000mT。
继续参考图4,在步骤S105中,在对光阻层602进行制绒处理后,接着整面沉积像素电极ITO或其它导电材料,从而在制绒后的光阻层602的绒面、露出的第二绝缘层50表面以及露出的漏极402表面上形成像素电极层70。然后,通过光阻剥离去除第二光阻成602以及第二光阻层602上覆盖的像素电极ITO或其它导电材料。
由于光阻层602中绒面的阴影作用,像素电极ITO或其它导电材料将无法全部覆盖第二光阻层602的绒面,因此在进行光阻剥离时,剥离液很容易与露出的光阻表面接触,使得光阻层60与第二绝缘层50高效剥离。然后进行像素电极ITO退火,从而在露出的第二绝缘层50表面以及露出的漏极402表面上形成像素电极70,该像素电极70通过漏极通孔B与漏极402相连。
本优选实施例的TFT基板制作方法,在基板上沉积第一金属层,利用第一道光罩工艺形成TFT栅极;在该基板上依次沉积第一绝缘层、有源层和第二金属层,利用第二道光罩工艺使得第二金属层在有源层的两端分别形成源极和漏极;在该基板上沉积第二绝缘层,在第二绝缘层上形成光阻层,利用第三道光罩对光阻层图形化处理,形成具有第一厚度的第一光阻层和具有第二厚度的第二光阻层,第二厚度大于第一厚度,第一光阻层与第二光阻层间隔设置形成间隔区,在间隔区的第二绝缘层上形成一漏极通孔;去除第一光阻层,对第二光阻层进行制绒处理,从而在第二光阻层表面形成绒面;在该基板上沉积像素电极层,采用湿法刻蚀在第二光阻层绒面未被像素电极层覆盖的表面渗入剥离液,将第二光阻层以及第二光阻层上覆盖的像素电极层去除,从而形成像素电极,该像素电极通过漏极通孔与漏极相连。本发明只需通过三道光罩制作TFT基板,进行光阻制绒后沉积像素电极层,可以有效剥离光阻层,且像素电极与第二绝缘层无明显的台阶,提高了制程效率并降低了工艺难度。
综上所述,虽然本发明已以优选实施例揭露如上,但上述优选实施例并非用以限制本发明,本领域的普通技术人员,在不脱离本发明的精神和范围内,均可作各种更动与润饰,因此本发明的保护范围以权利要求界定的范围为准。
