通过上述附图,已示出本公开明确的实施例,后文中将有更详细的描述。这些附图和文字描述并不是为了通过任何方式限制本公开构思的范围,而是通过参考特定实施例为本领域技术人员说明本公开的概念。
具体实施方式
为使本公开的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合附图对本公开实施方式作进一步地详细描述。
随着柔性显示面板的发展,对显示面板的要求从可弯曲(英文:Bendable),可弯折(英文:Foldable),逐步过渡到具有弹性柔性(英文:Stretchable)。目前的柔性显示面板的阵列基板中,存在多层无机膜。当显示面板发生较为剧烈的形变时,阵列基板中的无机膜较容易发生碰撞和分离等现象,使得无机膜在碰撞和分离的过程中可能产生微小破损,该微小破损可以扩大为较大的裂纹,并影响显示面板的正 常运行。因此提出采用有机膜代替现有的无机膜层。
典型的柔性阵列基板的制造方法可以包括以下步骤:在衬底基板上依次形成由低温多晶硅(英文:Low Temperature Poly-silicon;简称:LTPS)制成的有源层、第一栅绝缘层、第一栅极、第二栅绝缘层和第二栅极;通过固态扩散法对形成有第二栅极的衬底基板中的有源层进行氢化处理,以提高有源层的电学性能;在形成有第二栅极的衬底基板上形成由有机材料构成的中间介电层(英文:inter-layer dielectric;简称:ILD)以提高阵列基板的柔性。由于有机材料相较于无机材料对于高温的耐受能力较差,因而需要在形成ILD之前对有源层进行氢化处理,以避免对ILD造成损坏。
氢化处理能够通过氢原子填补构成有源层的LTPS(或微晶硅)中的硅原子的未结合键或未饱和键,从而提高LTPS(或微晶硅)的电学性能。但是,对有源层进行有效的氢化处理所需的温度通常高于有机膜的耐受温度,使得有机膜会对有源层的氢化造成限制。已经提出在形成ILD之前对有源层进行氢化处理。然而,在这样的方案中,由于在未形成ILD时,衬底基板上的膜层中的氢含量较少,并且没有膜层阻挡氢从衬底基板中溢出,因此衬底基板上的膜层对于有源层的氢化能力不足,从而可能导致有源层的电学性能的降低。
有鉴于此,本公开实施例提供了一种改进的阵列基板的制造方法、阵列基板和显示面板。
图1是本公开实施例提供的一种阵列基板的制造方法的流程图
如图1所示,在步骤101处,在衬底基板上依次形成有源层、第一栅绝缘层和第一栅极,其中有源层包括低温多晶硅。
然后,在步骤102处,在形成有第一栅极的衬底基板上形成第二栅绝缘层,第二栅绝缘层包括沿远离有源层的方向设置的第一子绝缘层和第二子绝缘层,其中第一子绝缘层的氢含量大于第二子绝缘层的氢含量。
接着,在步骤103处,对有源层进行氢化处理。
在本公开实施例提供的上述阵列基板的制造方法中,通过形成包括氢含量较大的第一子绝缘层以及氢含量较小的第二子绝缘层的第二栅绝缘层,使得在氢化处理的过程中,第一子绝缘层可以充当氢源,而第二子绝缘层可以充当氢阻挡层,使得氢能够更好地向有源层的方 向扩散,从而提高氢浓度梯度向有源层方向的分布,以提高对于有源层的氢化作用因此避免了对于有源层的氢化不足,进而导致影响有源层的电学性能的问题,达到了提高有源层的电学性能的效果。
图2是本公开实施例提供的另一种阵列基板的制造方法的流程图。
如图2所示,在步骤201处,在衬底基板上依次形成有源层、第一栅绝缘层和第一栅极,其中有源层包括低温多晶硅和/或微晶硅。低温多晶硅或微晶硅的电子迁移率较高,因此包括LTPS或微晶硅的有源层能够提高薄膜晶体管(英文:Thin Film Transistor;简称:TFT)的响应速度。
在完成步骤201时,衬底基板的结构可以如图3所示,其中,衬底基板11上依次设置有有源层12、第一栅绝缘层13和第一栅极14。第一栅绝缘层13的材料可以包括氮化硅等材料。第一栅极14可以包括金属或其他导电材料,本公开实施例不进行限制。
在示例性实施例中,有源层由LTPS构成,并且形成由LTPS构成的有源层的过程可以包括以下步骤:
首先,对非晶硅(a-si)进行脱氢处理。当非晶硅中的氢含量过多时,由该非晶硅形成的多晶硅的质量会下降。因而,可以首先对非晶硅进行脱氢处理。可选地,可以通过脱氢处理使非晶硅中的含氢量小于2%。
接着通过非晶硅在衬底基板上形成非晶硅层。然后,对该非晶硅层进行低温退火,使非晶硅层转变为多晶硅层。具体地,可以通过激光退火技术来实施低温退火工艺。最后,通过构图工艺图案化多晶硅层,以形成有源层。该有源层可以包括衬底基板上的多个TFT中的有源层图案。典型地,构图工艺可以包括光刻胶的涂覆、对光刻胶的曝光、对光刻胶的显影、刻蚀和对光刻胶的剥离等步骤。
如本领域技术人员所知的,形成由微晶硅构成的有源层的过程可以参考以上所描述的形成由LTPS构成的有源层的过程以及相关技术,在此不再赘述。
可选地,衬底基板可以为柔性衬底基板,该衬底基板可以由聚酰亚胺基底或包括聚酰亚胺基底的复合膜层构成,例如,衬底基板可以包括聚酰亚胺以及依次设置在聚酰亚胺上的间隔层、聚酰亚胺基底和缓冲层。
返回到图2,在步骤202处,在形成有第一栅极的衬底基板上以第一沉积速度沉积形成第一子绝缘层,并增加第一子绝缘层的氢含量。特别地,第一沉积速度可以是相关技术中形成常规的第二栅绝缘层的速度。
可选地,可以通过化学气相沉积(英文:Chemical Vapor Deposition;简称:CVD)技术来形成第一子绝缘层,并且可以通过增加含氢的反应气体的流量来增加第一子绝缘层的氢含量。例如,若第一子绝缘层由氮化硅构成,则反应气体可以包括氨气(化学式:NH 3)和硅烷(化学式:SiH 4)。相应地,可以提高NH 3的流量至正常水平的1.1倍至1.5倍,以将第一子绝缘层的氢含量提高至1.1倍至1.5倍。经过该过程,第一子绝缘层中的氢含量(原子比例)可以在30%至45%左右。
第一子绝缘层可以具有均匀的氢含量。可替换地,在示例性实施例中,第一子绝缘层的氢含量沿远离有源层的方向递减。也就是说,第一子绝缘层在第一子绝缘层和第一栅绝缘层的交界面处的氢含量是最高的,并且沿远离有源层的方向氢含量逐渐递减。以此方式能够提高氢原子向有源层扩散的能力,且能够避免第一子绝缘层下方膜层中的氢向第一子绝缘层扩散的可能性。
可替换地,第一子绝缘层的氢含量也可以从远离有源层的一侧开始,沿靠近有源层的方向在100埃至300埃的厚度范围内递增。以此方式能够提高氢原子向有源层扩散的能力,且能够避免第一子绝缘层下方膜层中的氢向第一子绝缘层扩散的可能性。
如本文中所使用的,术语“厚度”是指沿垂直于衬底基板的方向上的尺寸。
当完成步骤202时,衬底基板的结构可以如图4所示,其中形成有第一栅极14的衬底基板11上形成有第一子绝缘层151。图4中其他标记的含义可以参考图3,在此不再赘述。
在步骤203处,以第二沉积速度沉积形成第二子绝缘层,其中第二沉积速度小于第一沉积速度。
通过降低第二子绝缘层的沉积速度,能够提高第二子绝缘层的密度,使第二子绝缘层比第一子绝缘层更加致密。以此方式,能够提高第二子绝缘层对于氢的阻挡作用,使得第二子绝缘层下方膜层中的氢难以穿过第二子绝缘层而向外扩散,从而进一步提高了对于有源层的 氢化效果。
可替换地,第二子绝缘层的沉积速度也可以和第一子绝缘层的沉积速度相同,本公开实施例不进行限制。
在示例性实施例中,第一子绝缘层和第二子绝缘层可以均具有均匀的氢含量,且第一子绝缘层的氢含量大于第二子绝缘层的氢含量。可替换地,第一子绝缘层具有沿远离有源层的方向递减的氢含量,第二子绝缘层具有均匀的氢含量,并且第二子绝缘层的氢含量小于第一子绝缘层的最小氢含量,以使得能够提高氢原子向有源层扩散的能力,且能够避免第二子绝缘层下方膜层中的氢通过第二子绝缘层向外扩散的可能性。可替换地,第一子绝缘层具有均匀的氢含量,第二子绝缘层具有沿远离第一子绝缘层的方向递减的氢含量,并且第一子绝缘层的氢含量大于第二子绝缘层的最大氢含量,以使得能够提高氢原子向有源层扩散的能力,且能够避免第二子绝缘层下方膜层中的氢通过第二子绝缘层向外扩散的可能性。在上述实施例中,第二子绝缘层中的氢含量(原子比例)可以在15%至30%左右。
可选地,第二子绝缘层和第一子绝缘层之间的厚度比可以在1∶0.5到1∶2之间。
在完成步骤203时,衬底基板的结构可以如图5所示,其中,形成有第一子绝缘层151的衬底基板11上形成有第二子绝缘层152,并且第一子绝缘层151和第二子绝缘层152构成第二绝缘层15。图5中其他标记的含义可以参考图3,在此不再赘述。
第一子绝缘层和第二子绝缘层可以是在一次化学气相沉积中形成的同一膜层的不同部分(沿厚度方向的不同部分),也可以是分别形成的两个膜层。当第一子绝缘层和第二子绝缘层为同一膜层的不同部分时,相较于第一子绝缘层和第二子绝缘层为不同膜层的情况,膜层间的应力减小,因而降低了膜层破损的风险。
在步骤204处,在形成有第二栅绝缘层的衬底基板上形成第二栅极。该第二栅极能够与第一栅极形成电容,以提高TFT中电容的保持能力,进而增强显示结构的显示效果。
在完成步骤204时,衬底基板的结构可以如图6所示,其中,形成有第二栅绝缘层15的衬底基板11上形成有第二栅极16。图6中其他标记的含义可以参考图3,在此不再赘述。
在形成第二栅极后,可以通过加热形成有各个膜层的衬底基板以对有源层进行活化工艺。在加热时,可以缓慢提升温度,使得膜层之间的应力变动可以较和缓地进行,以避免各个膜层之间的应力不匹配导致的膜层破裂问题。
在步骤205处,在形成有第二栅极的衬底基板上形成源漏极过孔,使得有源层从该源漏极过孔中露出。
步骤205可以在步骤204之后且在步骤209之前的任何阶段执行,例如可以在对有源层氢化之后形成源漏极过孔,或在形成中间介电层之后形成源漏极过孔。在示例性实施例中,在对有源层氢化前形成源漏极过孔,从而能够在一定程度上提高对有源层的氢化效果。
在完成步骤205时,衬底基板的结构可以如图7所示,其中,有源层12在源漏极过孔k中露出,因此后续形成的源极和漏极可以通过该过孔k与有源层接触。图7中其他标记的含义可以参考图3,在此不再赘述。
在步骤206处,在形成有第二栅绝缘层的衬底基板上形成凹槽,凹槽的底部位于第一栅绝缘层中,并且凹槽在衬底基板上的正投影位于有源层的周围。该凹槽用于提高对于有源层的氢化作用,并且该凹槽在衬底基板上的正投影的面积不大于源漏极过孔在衬底基板上的正投影的面积。
在完成步骤206时,衬底基板的结构可以如图8所示,并且其为图7所示的衬底基板在P-P处的剖面图。凹槽c穿过第二绝缘层15,其底部位于第一绝缘层13中,且凹槽c在衬底基板11上的正投影位于有源层12的周围。图8中其他标记的含义可以参考图3,在此不再赘述。
在步骤207处,将形成有所述凹槽的衬底基板置于氢气氛围中,以对所述有源层进行氢化。
在将形成有所述凹槽的衬底基板设置在氢气氛围中后,由于外界环境中氢的浓度较高,因而衬底基板上各个膜层中的氢难以溢出到外界环境中,且氢的浓度能够形成沿外界环境向有源层方向逐渐下降的趋势,从而有利于氢气向有源层中的移动。此外,如图8所示,在氢气氛围中,氢气会充满凹槽c,这使得高浓度的氢气与有源层12的距离较近,从而进一步有利于氢向有源层中的移动。
可选地,氢气氛围可以仅包括氢气,也可以包括氢气和氮气,其中,氢气的分压不小于200毫托(英文:mTorr)。
在步骤208处,在形成有凹槽的衬底基板上形成中间介电层。中间介电层可以由有机绝缘材料构成。在具体实施时,可以首先在形成有凹槽的衬底基板上形成有机绝缘材料层,之后通过构图工艺将有机绝缘材料层图案化为中间介电层。如果在形成中间介电层之前源漏极过孔已经形成,则需要刻蚀掉源漏极过孔中的有机绝缘材料,使源漏极过孔中的有源层露出。此外,若衬底基板的膜层上形成有凹槽,则可以通过有机绝缘材料层填充该凹槽,以提高衬底基板上各个膜层的平整度。
特别地,中间介电层可以由光刻胶材料构成。在具体实施时,可以首先在形成有凹槽的衬底基板上形成光刻胶材料层,例如厚度在0.2微米至0.3微米之间,之后通过曝光工艺和显影工艺形成中间介电层。若在形成中间介电层之前源漏极过孔已经形成,则需要对源漏极过孔中的光刻胶材料进行曝光和显影,以去除源漏极过孔中的光刻胶材料,使源漏极过孔中的有源层露出。此外,若衬底基板的膜层上形成有凹槽,则可以通过该光刻胶材料填充该凹槽,并在曝光显影后保留该凹槽中的光刻胶材料,以提高衬底基板上各个膜层的平整度。
在完成步骤208时,衬底基板的结构可以如图9所示,其中,中间介电层17形成在形成有第二栅极16的衬底基板上,并且源漏极过孔k同样贯穿中间介电层17。
在步骤209处,在形成有中间介电层的衬底基板上形成源漏极。
在完成步骤209时,衬底基板的结构可以如图10所示,其中,源漏极18通过源漏极过孔与有源层12接触。
综上所述,在本公开实施例提供的阵列基板的制造方法中,通过形成包括氢含量较大的第一子绝缘层以及氢含量较小的第二子绝缘层,可以使得在对有源层进行氢化处理的过程中,第一子绝缘层充当氢源,第二子绝缘层充当氢阻挡层,因而氢能够更好地向有源层的方向扩散,从而提高氢浓度梯度向有源层方向的分布,提高对于有源层的氢化作用。以此方式,可以避免对于有源层的氢化不足,进而导致影响有源层的电学性能的问题,提高了有源层的电学性能。
图11是本公开实施例提供的另一种阵列基板的制造方法的流程图。
如图11所示,在步骤301处,在衬底基板上依次形成有源层、第一栅绝缘层和第一栅极,其中有源层可以包括低温多晶硅。
本步骤可以参考上述实施例中的步骤201,在此不再赘述。
在步骤302处,通过灰度掩模工艺在形成有第一栅极的衬底基板上形成第二栅绝缘层。特别地,第二栅绝缘层包括第一区域和第二区域,第一区域的厚度大于第二区域的厚度,有源层位于第一区域在衬底基板上的正投影中(该正投影的边缘与最近的有源层的边缘的距离可以在1微米至5微米之间),并且第二区域为第二栅绝缘层中除第一区域外的区域。由于位于有源层正上方的第一区域的绝缘层较厚,因而能够在后续的氢化处理过程中提供较多的氢,从而有利于对于有源层的氢化。示例性的,第一区域的厚度可以为第二区域的厚度的1.1倍至1.3倍。
可选地,第二栅绝缘层在该阵列基板中的每个子像素之间还设置有沟槽。该沟槽能够减小连续磨蹭应力,避免膜层的损坏。该沟槽处的第二绝缘层的厚度例如可以为第二区域的厚度的0.1倍至0.5倍。此外,在子像素之间的第二栅极的走线位置也可以设置有沟槽。
如本文中所使用的,灰度掩模工艺是一种通过灰度掩模板进行曝光的工艺,而灰度掩模板是一种在不同区域可以具有不同光透过率的掩模板。通过使用此种掩模板,能够形成不同区域厚度不同的图案。在步骤302中,可以通过灰度掩模工艺形成在不同区域厚度不同的第二栅绝缘层。
可选地,本公开实施例通过灰度掩模工艺形成的第二栅绝缘层的结构还可以参考上述实施例中步骤202和步骤203,即该第二绝缘层可以包括沿远离有源层的方向上依次布置的含氢量较高的第一子绝缘层和含氢量较低的第二子绝缘层,从而进一步提高对于有源层的氢化效果。
在完成步骤302时,衬底基板的结构可以如图12所示,其中第一区域q1的厚度大于第二区域q2的厚度,并且在子像素和子像素之间设置有沟槽g。
在步骤303处,在形成有第二栅绝缘层的衬底基板上形成第二栅极。本步骤可以参考上述实施例中的步骤204,在此不再赘述。在形成第二栅极之后,由于第二区域的绝缘层较薄,因而在第二区域处第二 栅极和第一栅极之间能够形成更大的电容,从而提高了TFT的电学性能。
在完成步骤303时,衬底基板的结构可以如图13所示,其中,第一栅极14和第二栅极16之间的第二绝缘层15较薄,因而第一栅极14和第二栅极16之间能够形成较大的电容。
之后,如图14所示,在步骤304处,在形成有第二栅极的衬底基板上形成源漏极过孔,使得有源层在源漏极过孔中露出。该源漏极过孔的结构可以参考图7中的源漏极过孔k,在此不再赘述。
然后,在步骤305处,对有源层进行氢化处理。本步骤可以参考上述实施例中的步骤207,在此不再赘述。
此外,本公开实施例在对有源层进行氢化前,也可以在衬底基板上的各个膜层上形成如图8中所示的凹槽c。该过程可以参考上述实施例中的步骤206,在此不再赘述。
在步骤306处,在形成有第二栅极的衬底基板上形成中间介电层。本步骤可以参考上述实施例中的步骤208,在此不再赘述。
最后,在步骤307处,在形成有源漏极过孔的衬底基板上形成源漏极。本步骤可以参考上述实施例中的步骤209,在此不再赘述。
在可替换的实施例中,在完成步骤303之后,如图15所示,可以进行与图14不同的后续步骤。
在步骤308处,在形成有第二栅极的衬底基板上涂布硅基有机材料层。
硅基有机材料为对于温度的耐受能力较强的一种有机材料,因而可以在氢化处理前涂布硅基有机材料层以便在后续的升温过程中保持可靠性。
接着,在步骤309处,对硅基有机材料层进行烘烤。烘烤能够去除硅基有机材料中混入的水分以及一些其它溶剂,提高硅基有机材料层的密度,进而能够提高硅基有机材料层对于氢的阻挡能力。另外,对硅基有机材料层进行烘烤的同时能够对有源层进行活化。
然后,在步骤310处,将硅基有机材料层处理为中间介电层。
可以通过不同的方式来形成中间介电层,本步骤可以参考上述实施例中的步骤208,在此不再赘述。
在步骤311处,对有源层进行氢化处理。在氢化处理时,可以使 用由硅基有机材料构成的中间介电层来阻挡衬底基板上各膜层的氢向外部溢出,以提高对于有源层的氢化效果。本步骤可以参考上述实施例中的步骤207,在此不再赘述。
接着,在步骤312处,在形成有中间介电层的衬底基板上形成源漏极过孔。当然,步骤312还可以在步骤311之前执行,即可以在氢化处理之前形成源漏极过孔,本公开实施例对此不进行限制。
在步骤313处,在形成有源漏极过孔的衬底基板上形成源漏极。本步骤可以参考上述实施例中的步骤209,在此不再赘述。
当完成步骤313时,衬底基板的结构可以如图16所示,其中中间介电层17形成于形成有第二栅极16的衬底基板上,形成有中间介电层17的衬底基板上形成有源漏极18,源漏极18通过源漏极过孔与有源层12接触。
综上所述,在本公开实施例提供的上述阵列基板的制造方法中,通过形成包括氢含量较大的第一子绝缘层以及氢含量较小的第二子绝缘层,可以使得在对有源层氢化处理的过程中,第一子绝缘层充当氢源,第二子绝缘层充当阻挡层,进而使得氢能够更好地向有源层的方向扩散,提高氢浓度梯度向有源层方向的分布,提高对于有源层的氢化作用。以此方式,可以避免对于有源层的氢化不足,进而导致影响有源层的电学性能的问题,提高了有源层的电学性能。
本公开实施例还提供了一种阵列基板,该阵列基板是通过上述任一种方法制造的阵列基板,例如图10所示的阵列基板或图16所示的阵列基板。
如图10和16所示,阵列基板包括:衬底基板11;位于衬底基板11上的有源层12;位于有源层12上的第一栅绝缘层13;位于第一栅绝缘层13上的第一栅极14;以及位于第一栅极14上的第二栅绝缘层15。第二栅绝缘层15包括沿远离有源层12的方向设置的第一子绝缘层151和第二子绝缘层152,并且第一子绝缘层151的氢含量大于第二子绝缘层152的氢含量。
上述阵列基板的其他示例性实施例可以参照上述阵列基板的制造方法的描述,在此不再赘述。
本公开实施例还提供了一种显示面板,该显示面板包括上述任一种阵列基板。该显示面板可以为有机发光二极管(英文:Organic  Light-Emitting Diode;简称:OLED)显示面板或液晶显示面板。
