Although the electronegativity of alkali elements is small, the diffusion of copper is increased when alkali elements and moisture are present near copper. For this reason, alkali elements such as sodium and potassium cannot be used as copper alloy elements.

- the copper alloy layer is oxidized (forms CuO and copper oxide) by heat treatment during film formation, and further by heat treatment after film formation. Resistance value gets worse.
- the grain of the copper alloy becomes too large as copper oxide is formed. For this reason, a coarse grain boundary (crystal grain boundary) having a gap is formed, and the surface of the copper alloy layer becomes rough, which may deteriorate the resistance value.
- the electrical resistivity is often improved by heat treatment (annealing).
- the surface oxidation of the copper alloy layer 8 is suppressed by covering the copper alloy layer 8 with the conductive metal oxide.
- the grain of the copper alloy layer 8 is not excessively coarsened due to the restriction (anchoring) by the conductive metal oxide layer formed on the front surface and the back surface of the copper alloy layer 8. Does not become rough.
- the copper alloy layer 8 to which the alloying elements constituting the copper alloy layer 8 are added at a low concentration for example, around 0.2 at%), the crystal grains (grains) are difficult to increase, and the grain boundaries are coarsened. Carrier scattering (deterioration of electrical resistivity) due to dally can be suppressed.

By (anchoring), recrystallization by dense grains in the copper alloy layer proceeds, and the resistance of the copper alloy layer is easily reduced.
- calcium oxide may be formed on the side surface of the copper alloy layer 8. Calcium oxide is often formed by low-temperature annealing or heat treatment described later. By the formation of calcium oxide at the surface of the copper alloy layer 8 or at the interface with the conductive metal oxide layer, copper diffusion is suppressed, contributing to improved reliability.

- the amount of indium (In) is preferably greater than 80 at%. More preferably, the amount of indium (In) is greater than 90 at%.
- the amount of indium (In) is less than 80 at%, the specific resistance of the conductive metal oxide layer to be formed increases, which is not preferable. If the amount of zinc (Zn) exceeds 20 at%, the alkali resistance of the conductive metal oxide (mixed oxide) decreases, which is not preferable.
- Antimony oxide can be added to the conductive metal oxide layer because metal antimony hardly forms a solid solution region with copper and suppresses diffusion of copper in a laminated structure.
- a small amount of other elements such as titanium, zirconium, magnesium, aluminum, and germanium can be added to the mixed oxide.
- the copper layer or the copper alloy layer has low adhesion to a transparent resin or a glass substrate (applied to the first transparent substrate and the second transparent substrate).

- the above-described composite oxide has sufficient adhesion to a black matrix, a transparent resin, a glass substrate, and the like, and also has sufficient adhesion to a copper layer or a copper alloy layer. For this reason, when a copper layer or a copper alloy layer using the complex oxide is applied to a display device substrate, a practical display device substrate can be realized.
- Copper, copper alloys, silver, silver alloys, or their oxides and nitrides generally do not have sufficient adhesion to transparent substrates such as glass, black matrix BM, and the like. Therefore, if the conductive metal oxide layer is not provided, peeling may occur at the interface between the conductive wiring and a transparent substrate such as glass, or at the interface between the conductive wiring and the insulating layer formed of black matrix or SiO 2. There is sex.
- the display device substrate In the display device substrate in which the conductive metal oxide layer is not formed as the underlying layer of the conductive wiring, in addition to the defect due to peeling, the display device substrate Failure due to electrostatic breakdown may occur in the conductive wiring during the manufacturing process, which is not practical.
- Static electricity is accumulated in the wiring pattern by post-processing such as stacking the color filter on the substrate, the step of bonding the display device substrate and the array substrate, or the cleaning step. This is a phenomenon that causes pattern chipping or disconnection.
- non-conductive copper oxide may be formed over time on the surface of the copper layer or copper alloy layer, making electrical contact difficult.
- a composite oxide layer such as indium oxide, zinc oxide, antimony oxide, gallium oxide, and tin oxide can realize a stable ohmic contact. When such a composite oxide is used, conduction transition ( Electrical mounting can be easily performed via a transfer) or contact hole.

以下に述べる各実施形態においては、特徴的な部分について説明し、例えば、通常の液晶表示装置に用いられている構成要素と本実施形態に係る表示装置との差異がない部分については説明を省略する。
本発明の実施形態に係る表示装置DSP1において、表示機能層は液晶層であり、第2アクティブ素子は薄膜トランジスタ(TFT:Thin Film Transistor)であり、液晶層を駆動する。
制御部120は、公知の構成を有し、映像信号制御部121(第一制御部)と、タッチセンシング制御部122(第二制御部)と、システム制御部123(第三制御部)とを備えている。タッチセンシング制御部122とシステム制御部123との間には、アンテナユニット11~14が設けられている。

そこで、第1導電性金属酸化物層と銅合金層と第2導電性金属酸化物層の3層を、例えば、室温(25℃)から200℃未満の基板温度で連続成膜を行う。更に、チャネル層のパターンを形成した後における後工程で、例えば、200℃~300℃の低温アニーリングを施す。あるいは、300℃を超え、600℃までの高温アニーリングを施してもよい。これにより、電気抵抗率を含む電気特性改善が可能である。
Cu5Caや、熱処理時において銅合金の表面又は導電性金属酸化物と銅合金との界面に形成されるCaO等は、銅の拡散を抑制し、銅配線の信頼性の向上に寄与する。
カルシウムを銅合金に添加することによって、主として、CaOやCu5Ca等の析出物が形成されることによる銅の拡散を防止することができる。
次に、上述した第1導電性金属酸化物層7及び第2導電性金属酸化物層9、及び後述する第3導電性金属酸化物層、第4導電性金属酸化物層、第5導電性金属酸化物層、及び第6導電性金属酸化物層の構造について説明する。以下、第1~第6導電性金属酸化物層を単に導電性金属酸化物層と呼称する。
導電性金属酸化物層の材料としては、例えば、酸化インジウム、酸化亜鉛、酸化アンチモン、酸化ガリウム、酸化錫から選択される2種以上の金属酸化物を含む複合酸化物を採用することができる。
次に、図6~図10を参照し、図3に示す第1アンテナユニット11の具体的な構造について説明する。
図6は、本発明の第1実施形態に係る表示装置基板100に形成された第1アンテナユニットを拡大して示す部分平面図である。図7は、図6のA-A’線に沿う断面図である。図8は、表示装置基板100に形成された第1アンテナユニット11と、アレイ基板200に形成された第3アンテナユニット13の重なりを示す斜視図である。図9は、ループアンテナの周囲を導体で囲った場合において渦電流の発生を説明するための説明図である。図10は、表示装置基板100に形成されたアクティブ素子を部分的に示す断面図である。
以下の説明では、第1アンテナユニット11、第2アンテナユニット12、第3アンテナユニット13、及び第4アンテナユニット14のうち、代表として、第1アンテナユニット11の構造について説明するが、他のアンテナユニットにおいても、同様の構造を採用することができる。また、以下の説明では、単に「アンテナユニット」と称する場合がある。
(a)巻き数を増やすこと
(b)例えば、13.56MHz等の周波数を前提にカードサイズ等の大きなアンテナ径を確保すること
(c)導電配線の導電率を確保すること等
なお、アンテナ径とは、アンテナの平面視、長軸と短軸との平均値を目安としている。その一方、本発明の実施形態に係るループアンテナの通信距離は、有機EL層に用いる封止層の厚みや液晶層の厚みであり、例えば、0.5μm~5μm程度の短い距離でよいため、上述した制限は、殆どなくなる。換言すれば、本発明の実施形態に係るループアンテナの通信距離は、一般的なRFIDと異なり、0.5μmから5μm程度の短い距離でよいため、液晶層等の駆動回路へのノイズ影響を極めて小さくできる。本発明の実施形態に係るループアンテナの遠方放射強度は小さく、通常のアンテナの共振周波数の法的制限を殆ど受けない。
逆に、液晶層等の駆動回路、バックライトユニット駆動、100V等の外部電源等から受けるノイズの影響を減らすため、本実施形態では図6や図8に示す略U字形状の導体パターン25A、25Bでアンテナユニット11、12、13、14を平面的に囲った。
なお、導体パターンの形状として、例えば、図9に示すような電気的に閉じた形状W(電気的につながった形状)を採用する場合、ループアンテナを流れる電流とは逆向きに流れる電流が導体パターンに流れてしまい、ループアンテナの効率を低下させてしまう。このため、導体パターン25A、25Bの形状としては、環状の導電パターンでアンテナユニットを囲うのではなく、略U字形状の導電パターンによりアンテナユニット(ループアンテナ)の周囲を部分的に囲うことが好ましい。導体パターン25A、25Bは、表示装置の筐体等に接地することが好ましい。
導体パターン25A、25Bの構造としては、上述したように、第1導電性金属酸化物層と第2導電性金属酸化物層とによって銅層あるいは銅合金層が挟持された構成が好ましい。
第2アンテナユニット12と第4アンテナユニット14との重なり部(第2重畳部52)では、例えば、第4アンテナユニット14から共振周波数の電磁波の発生により生じた電力を第2アンテナユニット12が受電する。換言すれば、第2アンテナユニット12と第4アンテナユニット14との第2重畳部52は、電力信号の受給機能を有する。
なお、第1アンテナユニット11と第3アンテナユニット13との重なり部の役割と、第2アンテナユニット12と第4アンテナユニット14との重なり部の役割は、入れ替えることができる。
後述するタッチ駆動スイッチング回路18やゲート信号スイッチング回路27等には、アクティブ素子(薄膜トランジスタ)や第1導電配線と第2導電配線との2層配線を含んでいるが、図2及び図12ではその詳細を省略している。
表示装置基板100に形成されている電力受電部15、電源制御部16、タッチ駆動制御部17、タッチ駆動スイッチング回路18、タッチ検知スイッチング回路19、タッチ信号送受信制御部20、及び検波・AD変換部30は、スイッチング素子として、第1アクティブ素子38を備えている。
図10に示すように、第1アクティブ素子38は、ボトムゲート構造を有しており、第1透明基板1の額縁領域72に形成されている。第1アクティブ素子38は、ブラックマトリクス3と下部絶縁層41を介して第1透明基板1の第1面101に形成される。なお、第1アクティブ素子38を形成する部位は、下地のブラックマトリクス3を省き、下部絶縁層41上に形成してもよい。
酸化物半導体は、例えば、酸化インジウム、酸化ガリウムを少なくとも含有する。さらに、酸化物半導体は、酸化アンチモン、酸化ビスマス、酸化亜鉛のうちいずれか1種以上を含む。このような酸化物半導体は、上記と同様の200℃~350℃の低温アニーリングにより、結晶化を進め、半導体特性を安定化できる。このような低温プロセスは、有機樹脂や有機顔料をベースとするカラーフィルタや、ポリイミド樹脂やアラミド樹脂等の樹脂基板への適合性を向上させる。例えば、基板上に、樹脂にカーボンが分散されたブラックマトリクスを形成し、更に、チャネル層として酸化物半導体を用いたアクティブ素子を形成する場合がある。この場合であっても、前記ブラックマトリクスが耐熱性を持つ200℃~300℃の範囲の低温アニーリングを実施でき、酸化物半導体の信頼性を向上できるメリットがある。
また、In:Sb=1:1の原子比で、酸化インジウム及び酸化アンチモンの2元系複合酸化物としてもよい。例えば、In:Bi=1:1の原子比で、酸化インジウム及び酸化ビスマスの2元系複合酸化物としてもよい。また、上記原子比においては、Inの含有量を更に増やしてもよい。
例えば、上記の複合酸化物にさらにSnを添加してもよい。この場合、In2O3、Ga2O3、Sb2O3、及びSnO2を含む4元系の組成を含む複合酸化物が得られ、あるいは、In2O3、Sb2O3、及びSnO2を含む3元系の組成を含む複合酸化物が得られ、キャリア濃度を調整することが可能となる。In2O3、Ga2O3、Sb2O3、Bi2O3と価数の異なるSnO2は、キャリアドーパントの役割を果たす。
次に、アレイ基板200の有効表示領域71に形成された第2アクティブ素子48について説明する。図11は、アレイ基板200に形成された第2アクティブ素子48を部分的に示す断面図である。
第2アクティブ素子48は、ボトムゲート構造を有しており、ゲート電極33(ゲート配線)、ソース配線31、ソース電極32、チャネル層35、ドレイン電極37を備える。ゲート配線及びソース配線は、第2アクティブ素子48に電気的に接続されている。第2アクティブ素子48のドレイン電極37は、コンタクトホール90を介して画素電極49に電気的に接続され、液晶層4の駆動を行う。アレイ基板200では、第2アクティブ素子48と同じ構成を有するアクティブ素子が、アレイ基板200の額縁領域にも形成されている。アレイ基板200の額縁領域において、複数の第2アクティブ素子48と、導電性金属酸化物層あるいは酸化物半導体の膜のパターニングにより形成された抵抗素子とによって、図4に示したソース信号スイッチング回路26、ゲート信号スイッチング回路27、及び電力送電部28、信号送受信部29が構成されている。電力送電部28は、第4アンテナユニット14を駆動し、第2アンテナユニット12に対する送電を行う。信号送受信部29は、第3アンテナユニット13を駆動し、第1アンテナユニット11と第3アンテナユニット13との間で、タッチ信号の送受信を行う。
なお、アレイ基板200の額縁領域に形成された、ソース信号スイッチング回路26、ゲート信号スイッチング回路27、電力送電部28、信号送受信部29の電源は、FPCを経由して、図示されていないバッテリー、あるいはアダプターを介して100V等の外部電源と接続される。
なお、第1実施形態において、チャネル層35に用いる酸化物半導体は、In:Ga:Sb=1:0.25:1の元素比の複合酸化物を用い、280℃の低温アニールを行い、微結晶の酸化物半導体とした。第1実施形態での銅合金層には、In:Ca:Zn=97.5:2:0.5の元素比の銅合金を用いた。
第1タッチセンシング配線ユニットや第2タッチセンシング配線ユニットに含まれるタッチセンシング配線の全てをタッチセンシングに用いなくてもよい。間引き駆動を行ってもよい。タッチセンシング配線を間引き駆動させる場合について説明する。まず、全てのタッチセンシング配線を複数のグループに区分する。グループの数は、全てのタッチセンシング配線の数より少ない。一つのグループを構成する配線数が、例えば、6本であるとする。ここで、全ての配線(配線数は6本)のうち、例えば、2本の配線を選択する(全ての配線の本数よりも少ない本数、2本<6本)。一つのグループにおいては、選択された2本の配線を用いてタッチセンシングが行われ、残りの4本の配線における電位がフローティング電位に設定される。タッチセンシングの機能が定義されているグループ毎にタッチセンシングを行うことができる。
上述した実施形態においては、導電性金属酸化物層あるいは酸化物半導体の膜を所望のパターンに形成することで抵抗素子を形成することができる。また、アレイ基板200上にポリシリコン半導体をチャネル層とする薄膜トランジスタ(アクティブ素子)のマトリクスを形成した後、絶縁層にスルーホールを形成し、スルーホールを介して、前記チャネル層として酸化物半導体を用いた薄膜トランジスタ(アクティブ素子)のマトリクスを積層することができる。
以下、本発明の第2実施形態に係る表示装置DSP2を、図12から図14を参照しながら説明する。
第2実施形態においては、第1実施形態と同一部材には同一符号を付して、その説明は省略または簡略化する。
図12は、本発明の第2実施形態に係る表示装置DSP2を部分的に示す断面図である。図13は、本発明の第2実施形態に係る表示装置DSP2を構成するアレイ基板を部分的に示す断面図であり、アレイ基板に形成されたアクティブ素子及び有機ELの発光層の説明図である。図14は、本発明の第2実施形態に係る表示装置DSP2を構成する表示装置基板に形成された第1アンテナユニットと、アレイ基板に形成された第3アンテナユニットの重なりを示す斜視図である。
本発明の実施形態に係る表示装置DSP2において、表示機能層は発光層92(有機EL層)及びホール注入層91であり、第2アクティブ素子は薄膜トランジスタ(TFT:Thin Film Transistor)であり、発光層92を駆動する。
平面視における表示装置DSP2の構造は、第1実施形態と同様であるので、図示を省略している。第1実施形態と同様に、画素開口部10に赤フィルタ、緑フィルタ、青フィルタ等のカラーフィルタを配設してもよい。
アンテナを形成する導電配線の線幅は、6μmであり、位置精度(アライメント精度)は、±2μm以内とした。これら導電配線の構造は、第1実施形態と同様、銅合金層を導電性金属酸化物層で挟持する3層構成である。
第2アンテナユニット12と第4アンテナユニット14との重なり部(第2重畳部52)では、例えば、第4アンテナユニット14から共振周波数の電磁波の発生により生じた電力を第2アンテナユニット12が受電する。電力受電部15は、受信電圧を平滑化、定電圧化し、タッチ駆動電圧として電源制御部16に出力する。
アレイ基板300の基板としては、透明基板に限定する必要はなく、例えば、ガラス基板、セラミック基板、石英基板、サファイア基板、あるいはシリコン、炭化シリコンやシリコンゲルマニウム等の半導体基板、さらにはプラスチック基板等を適用できる。例えば、表示装置基板100の基板としてガラス基板等の透明基板を用い、アレイ基板300の基板としてシリコン基板を用い、反射型の表示装置を構成することができる。
更に、下部電極88、バンク94、及び平坦化層96を覆うようにホール注入層91が形成されている。ホール注入層91上には、順に、発光層92、上部電極87、及び封止層109が積層されている。
下部電極88は、後述するように、銀あるいは銀合金層が導電性金属酸化物層によって挟持された構成を有する。
また、上記複合酸化物層を導電性金属酸化物層に適用し、銀合金層の膜厚を、例えば、100nmから250nmの範囲内、あるいは、300nm以上の膜厚に設定し、導電性金属酸化物層によって銀合金層が挟持された3層積層構造を採用してもよい。この場合、可視光に対して高い反射率を有する反射電極を実現することができる。
平坦化層96の材料としては、アクリル樹脂、ポリイミド樹脂、ベンゾシクロブテン樹脂、ポリアミド樹脂等を用いてもよい。低誘電率材料(low-k材料)を用いることもできる。
なお、視認性向上のため、平坦化層96や封止層109、あるいは、基板のいずれかが、光散乱の機能を有してもよい。あるいは、基板の上方に光散乱層を形成してもよい。
アクティブ素子68は、チャネル層65と、チャネル層65の一端(第一端、図13におけるチャネル層65の左端)に接続されたドレイン電極66と、チャネル層65の他端(第2端、図13におけるチャネル層65の右端)に接続されたソース電極64と、絶縁層113を介してチャネル層65に対向配置されたゲート電極95とを備える。後述するように、チャネル層65は、酸化物半導体で構成され、ゲート絶縁層と接触している。アクティブ素子68は、発光層を駆動する。
また、第4導電配線24を用いて、ゲート配線69及びゲート電極95が形成されている。ゲート配線69、ゲート電極95、及び第4導電配線24は、同一のレイヤに位置する。
上述したように、第3導電配線23及び第4導電配線24は、いずれも、銅層あるいは銅合金層を導電性金属酸化物層で挟持する3層構成を有する。
