Description

ESD防护薄膜晶体管及ESD防护结构 技术领域
本发明涉及显示技术领域,尤其涉及一种ESD防护薄膜晶体管及ESD防护结构。
背景技术
随着显示技术的发展,平板显示装置因具有高画质、省电、机身薄及应用范围广等优点,而被广泛的应用于手机、电视、个人数字助理、数字相机、笔记本电脑、台式计算机等各种消费性电子产品,成为显示装置中的主流。现有的平板显示装置主要包括液晶显示装置(Liquid Crystal Display,LCD)及有机发光二极管显示装置(Organic Light Emitting Display,OLED)。
现有平板显示装置为了达到防静电的目的,一般在基板上设有静电放电( Electro-Static Discharge,ESD )防护结构。现有的ESD防护结构采用具有浮栅结构(Gate Floating)的ESD防护薄膜晶体管(Thin Film Transistor)释放多余电荷,现有的ESD防护结构如图1及图2所示,在信号线10和公共电压线20(Common)之间连接有ESD防护薄膜晶体管30,ESD防护薄膜晶体管30包括栅极301、源极302、漏极303及有源层304,所述栅极301及源极302部分重叠形成第一耦合电容C10和栅极301和漏极303部分重叠形成第二耦合电容C20,源极302电性连接信号线10,漏极303电性连接公共电压线20,当信号线10或公共电压线20上累积的静电过高时会对第一耦合电容C10或第二耦合电容C20充电,使得ESD防护薄膜晶体管30的栅极301电压上升,进而导通ESD防护薄膜晶体管30,完成静电释放。
为了保证静电释放效果,需要尽可能的减少ESD防护薄膜晶体管30的漏电流,所述ESD防护薄膜晶体管30的漏电流与其沟道宽度W及沟道长度L有关,沟道宽度W越小,漏电越小,沟道长度L越大,漏电流越小,为了减小漏电流,现有技术中,通常会将ESD防护薄膜晶体管30的沟道宽长比(W/L)设计的很小(如6:200),当线路中产生静电并通过ESD防护薄膜晶体管30的释放时,过低的宽长比又会导致释放不够迅速,而炸伤线路,降低产品良率。
