- a coating liquid of the present disclosure for forming a metal oxide film includes at least a metal source, an alkali, and a solvent, and further includes other components if necessary.
- a pH of the coating liquid for forming a metal oxide film is preferably 5 or more, more preferably 6 or more but 12 or less, particularly preferably 6.5 or more but 11 or less. The pH can be measured with, for example, a pH meter or a pH test paper.
- the coating liquid of the present disclosure for forming a metal oxide film is obtained by dissolving a metal source as a solute in a solvent.
- the metal source is at least one selected from the group consisting of inorganic salts, oxides, hydroxides, metal complexes, and organic acid salts.
- inorganic salts include nitrates, sulfates, chlorides, carbonates, acetates, and phosphates. These may be used alone or in combination.
- organic acid salts include carboxylates, phenols, and derivatives thereof. These may be used alone or in combination.

- the metal source as the solute may be dissociated to be ions so long as it is uniformly dissolved in the solvent. In this case, it is difficult to cause segregation of the concentration in the coating liquid for forming a metal oxide film, which makes it possible to use the coating liquid for forming a metal oxide film for a long period of time.
- a thin film produced by using this coating liquid has a homogeneous formulation. Therefore, characteristic uniformity is also favorable when it is used in, for example, the gate insulating layer and the semiconductor layer of TFTs.
- a semiconductor layer (active layer) and source ⁇ drain electrode layers are formed through patterning and then a gate insulating layer is formed.
- a conventional coating liquid is coated and undergoes the drying ⁇ baking process, the underlayer that has been already formed may be dissolved in the coating liquid in some cases.
- the present inventors have diligently performed the studies in order to solve the problem that the conventional coating liquids for forming a metal oxide film used in the liquid phase method easily dissolve the underlayer and hardly form fine patterns. As a result, the present inventors have found that addition of the alkali to the coating liquid for forming a metal oxide film can solve the problem that the coating liquid for forming a metal oxide film dissolves the underlayer to prevent formation of fine patterns. As a result, the present inventors have completed the present disclosure.
- the coating liquid of the present disclosure for forming a metal oxide film can prevent corrosion of components to contact with liquid in production apparatuses (e.g., nozzles and valves in coater apparatuses).

Abstract
A coating liquid for forming a metal oxide film, the coating liquid including: a metal source, which is at least one selected from the group consisting of inorganic salts, oxides, hydroxides, metal complexes, and organic acid salts; at least one alkali selected from the group consisting of organic alkalis and inorganic alkalis; and a solvent.
Description
The present disclosure relates to a coating liquid for forming a metal oxide film, an oxide film, a field-effect transistor, and a method for producing the oxide film and the field-effect transistor.
In recent years, among flat panel displays, a liquid crystal display (LCD) or an organic EL display having an active matrix thin film transistor (AM-TFT) as a backplane has been the mainstream. The semiconductors used for the TFTs are roughly divided into the following three types: amorphous silicon (a-Si), low-temperature poly-silicon (LTPS), and In-Ga-Zn-O (IGZO)-based oxide semiconductors. Among them, oxide semiconductor TFTs (hereinafter, referred to as oxide TFTs) have been highly expected and have been researched and developed around the world (see, for example, NPL 1).
A semiconductor layer and a gate insulating layer, which are essential constituent elements of the oxide TFT, are oxide films. A typical method for forming these oxide films are, for example, the sputtering method, the chemical vapor deposition (CVD), and the atomic layer deposition (ALD).
However, there are problems that these vacuum processes require complex and expensive apparatuses and safety measures with respect to source gases, and process cost is high. In addition, limitation on the source gasses makes it difficult to freely control formulation and properties of the oxide film.
However, there are problems that these vacuum processes require complex and expensive apparatuses and safety measures with respect to source gases, and process cost is high. In addition, limitation on the source gasses makes it difficult to freely control formulation and properties of the oxide film.
Therefore, there has been attention to the liquid-phase method, which is easy to use and makes it possible to lower cost. The liquid-phase method makes it possible to easily prepare a large area of a metal oxide film at a low process temperature. However, there are problems that coating liquids used in these processes generally easily dissolve an underlayer and a stacked structure having fine patterns cannot be formed.
Therefore, there is a need for providing a coating liquid for forming a metal oxide film that can easily prepare a large area of the metal oxide film at a low process temperature and can prevent damage to an underlayer to form a stacked structure.

The present disclosure has an object to provide a coating liquid for forming a metal oxide film that can easily prepare a large area of the metal oxide film at a low process temperature and can prevent damage to an underlayer to form a stacked structure.
Means for solving the aforementioned problems are as follows. That is,

a metal source, which is at least one selected from the group consisting of inorganic salts, oxides, hydroxides, metal complexes, and organic acid salts;

According to the present disclosure, it is possible to provide a coating liquid for forming a metal oxide film that can easily prepare a large area of the metal oxide film at a low process temperature and can prevent damage to an underlayer to form a stacked structure.
(Coating liquid for forming metal oxide film)
A coating liquid of the present disclosure for forming a metal oxide film includes at least a metal source, an alkali, and a solvent, and further includes other components if necessary.
A pH of the coating liquid for forming a metal oxide film is preferably 5 or more, more preferably 6 or more but 12 or less, particularly preferably 6.5 or more but 11 or less.
The pH can be measured with, for example, a pH meter or a pH test paper.

A pH of the coating liquid for forming a metal oxide film is preferably 5 or more, more preferably 6 or more but 12 or less, particularly preferably 6.5 or more but 11 or less.
The pH can be measured with, for example, a pH meter or a pH test paper.
The coating liquid of the present disclosure for forming a metal oxide film is obtained by dissolving a metal source as a solute in a solvent.
The metal source is at least one selected from the group consisting of inorganic salts, oxides, hydroxides, metal complexes, and organic acid salts.
Examples of the inorganic salts include nitrates, sulfates, chlorides, carbonates, acetates, and phosphates. These may be used alone or in combination.
Examples of the organic acid salts include carboxylates, phenols, and derivatives thereof. These may be used alone or in combination.
Examples of the carboxylates include aliphatic carboxylates, aromatic carboxylates, hydroxy carboxylates, dicarboxylates, tricarboxylates, and oxocarboxylates. These may be used alone or in combination.

Examples of the solvent include organic acids, organic acid esters, aromatic compounds, diols, glycol ethers, polar aprotic solvents, alkane compounds, alkene compounds, ethers, alcohols, and water. These may be used alone or in combination.
The metal source as the solute may be dissociated to be ions so long as it is uniformly dissolved in the solvent. In this case, it is difficult to cause segregation of the concentration in the coating liquid for forming a metal oxide film, which makes it possible to use the coating liquid for forming a metal oxide film for a long period of time. In addition, a thin film produced by using this coating liquid has a homogeneous formulation. Therefore, characteristic uniformity is also favorable when it is used in, for example, the gate insulating layer and the semiconductor layer of TFTs.
When an element obtained by stacking thin films (for example, a TFT having a top gate/top contact structure presented in FIG. 4) is prepared, a semiconductor layer (active layer) and source・drain electrode layers are formed through patterning and then a gate insulating layer is formed. At this time, when a conventional coating liquid is coated and undergoes the drying・baking process, the underlayer that has been already formed may be dissolved in the coating liquid in some cases.
The present inventors have diligently performed the studies in order to solve the problem that the conventional coating liquids for forming a metal oxide film used in the liquid phase method easily dissolve the underlayer and hardly form fine patterns.
As a result, the present inventors have found that addition of the alkali to the coating liquid for forming a metal oxide film can solve the problem that the coating liquid for forming a metal oxide film dissolves the underlayer to prevent formation of fine patterns. As a result, the present inventors have completed the present disclosure.

As a result, the present inventors have completed the present disclosure.
In addition, the coating liquid of the present disclosure for forming a metal oxide film can prevent corrosion of components to contact with liquid in production apparatuses (e.g., nozzles and valves in coater apparatuses).

<Insulator film>
When the metal oxide film formed from the coating liquid of the present disclosure for forming a metal oxide film (hereinafter may be referred to as “the present coating liquid”) is, for example, the insulator film constituting the gate insulating layer, the metal oxide film is required to have a high insulation property (high resistance). Therefore, the metal oxide film desirably has a wide band gap (preferably 3 eV or more). Therefore, when the metal oxide film produced by using the present coating liquid is the insulator film, the present coating liquid and the film have no optical absorption band resulting from the electron transition in the visible light region or the near-infrared region. Therefore, it is preferable that the present coating liquid and the metal oxide film produced by using the present coating liquid preferably do not have any of theGroup 5 to 11 transition metal elements. These elements easily have an open-shell electronic state and then an absorption band resulting from the d-d transition in the aforementioned wavelength regions will occur. Therefore, these elements are not suitable for an element constituting an insulator. Meanwhile, some lanthanoid elements have a narrow absorption band in the visible light region or the near-infrared region. However, the absorption is the f-f transition isolated on the atom and an insulation property can be maintained. Therefore, the present coating liquid and the metal oxide film produced by using the present coating liquid may include the lanthanoid element.

Hitherto, a method for increasing amorphous property and realizing high insulating property by incorporation of Si or Al as a main component has been employed, but is not preferable in order to realize high dielectric constant. The metal element, which is a main constituting element in the present coating liquid and the metal oxide film prepared by using the present coating liquid, is preferably at least one selected from the group consisting of the Period 4 elements, the Period 5 elements, and the Period 6 elements. Such a metal element is an element where the s-orbital, the p-orbital, and the d-orbital are a closed-shell. Therefore, it is possible to realize high dielectric constant and low dielectric loss at the same time.
A volume resistivity of the insulator film in the present disclosure is preferably 106 Ωcm or more, more preferably 1010 Ωcm or more.
A gate current of the field-effect transistor including the insulator film of the present disclosure as the gate insulating film is preferably 1 nA or less, more preferably 1 pA or less, still more preferably 100 fA or less.
Use of the coating liquid for forming a metal oxide film makes it possible to obtain a metal oxide insulator film having a desired relative dielectric constant and dielectric loss.
Note that, it is possible to control relative dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the metal oxide insulator film obtained depending on the conditions (specifically, a kind of the solvent in which the solute is dissolved, formulation of the coating liquid, and a concentration of the coating liquid). Moreover, it is possible to control relative dielectric constant and dielectric loss depending on the conditions of the heat treatment after the coating (more specifically, a baking temperature, a baking time, a heating speed, a cooling speed, and atmosphere (gas percentage and pressure) during the baking.
Moreover, the effects of the irradiation of light can be used; those are, for example, the decomposition of the materials and the acceleration of the reaction. Furthermore, relative dielectric constant and dielectric loss are also changed by annealing after formation of the film. Therefore, a method for optimizing the annealing temperature and the atmosphere is also effective.

<Semiconductor film>
When the metal oxide film formed from the coating liquid of the present disclosure for forming a metal oxide film is, for example, the semiconductor film constituting the active layer, the semiconductor film is required to have a high mobility. In order to realize a further lower off-current, the semiconductor film is desirably required to have a wide band gap (preferably 3 eV or more). Therefore, when the metal oxide film produced by using the present coating liquid is the semiconductor film, the present coating liquid and the film have no optical absorption band resulting from the electron transition in the visible light region. Thus, it is preferable that the present coating liquid and the metal oxide semiconductor film produced by using the present coating liquid do not have any of theGroup 5 to 11 transition metal elements as a main solute. These elements easily have an open-shell electronic state and then an absorption band resulting from the d-d transition in the aforementioned wavelength region will occur. In addition, when the bottom of the conduction band or the top of the valence band is constituted with the d orbit, the band width becomes narrow, which cannot realize a high mobility. Therefore, these transition metal elements are not suitable for an element constituting the semiconductor. In order to realize high mobility of the wide gap n-type semiconductor, the bottom of the conduction band is preferably constituted with the 4s and / or 5s orbits. To do so, the bottom of the conduction band is preferably constituted with a p block heavy element such as Zn, Cd, Ga, In, or Sn. Moreover, in order to decrease oxygen vacancies, the semiconductor preferably includes, for example, the Group 3 element or the light element (Al and Ga) of the Group 13 element.

It is difficult to achieve a uniform formulation of the target used by, for example, the sputtering method and the laser abrasion method. In particular, it may be difficult to prepare the target itself depending on the formulation. Moreover, sputtering efficiency of each element is different, and thus it is difficult to uniformly maintain the formulation within duration of the target life. Furthermore, use of the vacuum process makes it difficult to reduce an amount of oxygen vacancies in the films. This leads to instability in the properties of the semiconductor films.
Use of the coating liquid for forming a metal oxide film solves the problems in the vacuum process and makes it possible to produce a metal oxide film having a uniform and stable composition. Consequently, TFTs having high performance become to be able to be stably manufactured.
