本方案中,对自对准的顶栅结构进行改善,在栅极绝缘层150上溅渡一层金属为第二层金属,并通过同一道光罩制程蚀刻,即可同时形成栅极层161、源极层162和漏极层163,栅极层161、源极层162和漏极层163可在半色调光罩形成的栅极绝缘层150结构上一起完成,减少一道光罩,由七道光罩变为六道光罩,节省一道曝光显影时间,达到节约成本及提升产能的目的。
在一实施例中,所述栅极绝缘层150包括中部151、第一侧部152和第二侧部153,所述中部151的厚度大于所述第一侧部152和第二侧部153的厚度;
所述栅极绝缘层150还包括形成在所述中部151和第一侧部152之间的第一镂空部154,以及形成在所述中部151和第二侧部153之间的第二镂空部155;
所述栅极层161形成在所述中部151上;

本方案中,在源极层162、栅极层161和漏极层163形成之前,栅极绝缘层150包括中部151、第一侧部152和第二侧部153,所述栅极绝缘层150的中部151的高度高于第一侧部152和第二侧部153的高度,使得栅极绝缘层150的中部151与第一侧部152和第二侧部153之间存在段差,可避免短路的情况发生;另外,所述镂空部分别形成在中部151和第一侧部152,以及中部151和第二侧部153之间,由于镂空部的设置,可以避免短路的情况,保证绝缘,保证了薄膜晶体管的开关性能。
在一实施例中,所述栅极层161位于所述中部151上,且所述栅极层161的宽度小于所述中部151的宽度。
本方案中,栅极层161位于与栅极绝缘层150的中部151上,栅极层161的宽度小于栅极绝缘层150的中部151的宽度,源极层162和漏极层163分别位于栅极绝缘层150两侧部上,可以减少栅极层161和漏极层163之间产生的寄生电容,以及栅极层161和源极层162之间产生的寄生电容。
在一实施例中,第一金属层120的两侧镂空,缓冲层130覆盖住第一金属层120的上表面及两侧镂空的部分。
在第一金属层120上形成缓冲层130,缓冲层130覆盖住第一金属层120的四周,相对于缓冲层130未将第一金属层120全面覆盖时来说,缓冲层130覆盖住第一金属层120的四周可以更好的绝缘。
本申请的面板可以是TN面板(全称为Twisted Nematic,即扭曲向列型面板)、IPS面板(In-Plane Switching,平面转换)、VA面板(Multi-domain Vertical Alignment,多象限垂直配向技术),当然,也可以是其他类型的面板,适用即可。
以上内容是结合具体的可选的实施方式对本申请所作的进一步详细说明,不能认定本申请的具体实施只局限于这些说明。对于本申请所属技术领域的普通技术人员来说,在不脱离本申请构思的前提下,还可以做出若干简单推演或替换,都应当视为属于本申请的保护范围。
