具体实施方式
为了使本公开的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合附图对本公开作进一步地详细描述,显然,所描述的实施例仅是本公开一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本公开中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其它实施例,都属于本公开保护的范围。
附图中各部件的形状和大小不反映真实比例,目的只是示意说明本公开内容。
本公开实施例提供的一种阵列基板的制备方法,包括:在衬底基板上形成第一薄膜晶体管和第二薄膜晶体管;其中形成第一薄膜晶体管包括:在衬底基板上形成第一栅电极的图形、第一有源层的图形、第一源电极和第一漏电极的图形;形成第二薄膜晶体管包括:在衬底基板上形成第二栅电极的图形、第二有源层的图形、第二源电极和第二漏电极的图形;
第一有源层的材料与第二有源层的材料不相同;
形成第一有源层的图形,如图1所示,具体包括:
S101、形成导向结构;
S102、在导向结构的至少一侧形成至少一个催化剂颗粒的图形;其中,催化剂颗粒与硅具有共熔点;
S103、形成覆盖催化剂颗粒和导向结构的非晶硅薄膜;
S104、对非晶硅薄膜进行退火,使非晶硅由催化剂颗粒开始沿导向结构的延伸方向生长形成硅基纳米线;
S105、去除催化剂颗粒,并保留第一预设区域内的非晶硅薄膜和硅基纳米线,形成第一有源层的图形,其中,催化剂颗粒位于第一预设区域外。
本公开实施例的提供的阵列基板的制备方法,包括:在衬底基板上形成第一薄膜晶体管和第二薄膜晶体管。在形成第一薄膜晶体管的有源层时,利 用催化剂颗粒与硅具有共熔点、以非晶硅的吉布斯自由能大于结晶硅(硅基纳米线)的吉布斯自由能为驱动力、通过熔融的催化剂颗粒吸收非晶硅形成过饱和硅共熔体,使硅成核生长成为硅基纳米线。并且硅基纳米线在生长过程中,非晶硅薄膜在催化剂颗粒的作用下沿着导向结构线性生长,从而获得高密度、高均一性的硅基纳米线。另外,通过对催化剂颗粒的尺寸以及非晶硅薄膜的厚度进行控制还可以实现对硅基纳米线的宽度进行控制。从而实现尺度均一可控的硅基纳米线薄膜晶体管的制备。
另外,第一有源层和第二有源层采用不同的材料进行制作,使不同薄膜晶体管发挥不同的优势,以增加阵列基板的实用范围。
在具体实施时,由于硅基纳米线与多晶硅相比具有更加优异的半导体特性与更小的尺寸维度,因此,第一薄膜晶体管的尺寸可以做的相对较小,因此,在面板的边框区域应用第一薄膜晶体管,可以获得更小的边框尺寸;在开关晶体管中应用第一薄膜晶体管,可以获得更快的开关速度,获得更高的刷新频率;当第一薄膜晶体管应用于背板中的大尺寸晶体管时,可以避免半导体层发热导致器件特性漂移。
可选地,在本公开实施例提供的制备方法中,第二有源层的材料可以为低温多晶硅材料、碳纳米管材料或者氧化物半导体材料中的任意一种或者多种。
在具体实施时,低温多晶硅具有较高的迁移率与稳定性,但是在大尺寸面板中,均匀性比较难控制。碳纳米管同样具有较高的迁移率,并且可以实现柔性显示。氧化物半导体材料的迁移率相对低一点,但是大尺寸面板中可以保证均一性好、漏电流低、透明以及制作工艺简单。因此,第二有源层的材料可以根据实际需求进行选择。第二有源层与第一有源层配合使用,满足不同的电路需求,如调控薄膜晶体管的亚阈值摆幅SS,薄膜晶体管的关态电流Ioff,薄膜晶体管的迁移率等。
在具体实施时,为了简化制作工艺和节约生产成本,第一薄膜晶体管和第二薄膜晶体管中,具有相同功能的膜层尽可能的同层进行制备。
可选地,在本公开实施例提供的制备方法中,第一栅电极的图形与第二栅电极的图形通过一次构图工艺形成;
第一源电极的图形、第一漏电极的图形、第二源电极的图形和第二漏电极的图形通过一次构图工艺同时形成。
在具体实施时,在本公开实施例提供的上述制备方法中,当第二有源层的材料为低温多晶硅材料时,为了简化工艺步骤以及降低成本,第一有源层和第二有源层可以采用同一层非晶硅薄膜进行制备。
具体地,在本公开实施例提供的制备方法中,第二有源层的材料为低温多晶硅材料;
第二有源层的图形和第一有源层的图形通过一次构图工艺同时形成,具体为:
在对非晶硅薄膜进行退火之后,对形成有硅基纳米线的非晶硅薄膜进行准分子激光退火处理,使非晶硅薄膜转换为低温多晶硅薄膜;
去除催化剂颗粒,并对低温多晶硅薄膜进行构图,保留第一预设区域的硅基纳米线和低温多晶硅薄膜形成第一有源层的图形,保留第二预设区域的低温多晶硅薄膜形成第二有源层的图形。
需要说明的是,在本公开实施例提供的制备方法中,第一预设区域为用于形成第一有源层的区域,第二预设区域为用于形成第二有源层的区域。
具体地,在本公开实施例提供的制备方法中,导向结构越多,意味着形成的硅基纳米线越多,因此,形成多个导向结构可以保证第一有源层中有多条硅基纳米线,从而提升第一薄膜晶体管的迁移率。
可选地,在本公开实施例提供的制备方法中,形成多个导向结构01,多个导向结构中的任一个导向结构01均沿第一方向X延伸,如图2a所示;所述多个导向结构的材料可以相同。图3a为图2a所示的多个导向结构沿AA’方向的一种截面示意图,如图3a所示,多个导向结构01垂直于第一方向的截面包括至少一个凹凸结构,所有凹凸结构中的所有凸部的表面几乎等高,所有凹部的表面几乎等高;在凹凸结构的每一凹部内形成有一个催化剂颗粒 021,催化剂颗粒021在垂直于第一方向X的截面尺寸不大于所在凹部的截面尺寸。
可以理解的是,也可以直接形成具有一体结构的导向结构,该导向结构沿第一方向延伸的顶面包括如图3a所示的凹凸结构。
可选地,在本公开实施例提供的制备方法中,形成多个导向结构01,多个导向结构中的任一个导向结构01均沿第一方向X延伸,如图2b所示,;所述多个导向结构的材料可以相同。图3b为图2b所示的多个导向结构沿AA’方向的一种截面示意图,如图3b所示,导向结构01垂直于第一方向的截面为包括至少一个台阶的阶梯结构,且阶梯结构的每一台阶上形成有一个催化剂颗粒021,催化剂颗粒021在垂直于第一方向X的截面尺寸不大于所在台阶的截面尺寸。可以理解的是,也可以直接形成具有一体结构的导向结构,该导向结构沿第一方向延伸的顶面包括如图3b所示的至少一个台阶的阶梯结构。
在具体实施时,如图3a和图3b所示,导向结构01垂直于第一方向的截面包括凹凸结构或包括至少一个台阶的阶梯结构,可以实现硅基纳米线的多层次分布,从而提升沟道宽度的同时可以解决散热问题。
当然,在具体实施时,多个导向结构垂直于第一方向的截面可以同时包括凹凸结构和阶梯结构,在此不作限定。
可以理解的是,多个导向结构可以通过分次制作,如分别形成多个条状结构;如果多个导向结构的材质相同,其还可以最终形成一体结构;多个导向结构也可以通过一次成膜工艺后进行图案化构成一体成型。
需要说明的是,在本公开实施例提供的制备方法中,每个导向结构沿第一方向延伸的侧面也可以是一个平面,在具体实施时,侧面与底面的夹角优选大于或等于60°,这样可以保证后续非晶硅薄膜能够覆盖位于导向结构侧面的催化剂颗粒,以保证硅基纳米线的正常生长。

当然在,具体实施时,也可以采用光刻工艺形成催化剂颗粒的图形。因此,可选地,在本公开实施例提供的制备方法中,形成催化剂颗粒的图形,具体包括:

进一步地,催化剂颗粒的粒径可以控制在5nm~10μ1之间,例如5nm、 10nm、50nm、100nm、500nm、1μ0、10μ0等,在此不作限定。催化剂颗粒的材料包括铟、锡、镍或氧化铟,在此不作限定。
步骤5、如图6e所示,形成覆盖催化剂颗粒021以及导向结构01非晶硅薄膜40;并对非晶硅薄膜40进行退火,使非晶硅由催化剂颗粒021开始沿导向结构01的延伸方向生长形成硅基纳米线41。
在具体实施时,采用等离子增强型化学气相淀积(PECVD)法沉积5nm~5000nm非晶硅薄膜,进一步非晶硅薄膜的厚度可以控制在10nm~1000nm之间,在此不作限定。

步骤6、如图6f所示,去除催化剂颗粒021,并保留第一预设区域内的非晶硅薄膜(图中未视出)和硅基纳米线41,形成第一有源层12的图形。
步骤7、如图6g所示,形成第二有源层22的图形。

需要说明的是,在本公开实施例提供的上述制备方法中,第一有源层和第二有源层的形成顺序可以互换。即步骤7在步骤5和步骤6之前。
进一步地,在本公开实施例提供的上述制备方法中,当第二有源层的材料为低温多晶硅时,在步骤5之后,步骤8之前包括:

需要说明的是,当硅基纳米线的线宽与多晶硅薄膜的厚度接近时,可以通过一次构图工艺形成第一有源层和第二有源层的图形,当硅基纳米线的线宽与多晶硅薄膜的厚度相差较多时,可以采用灰色调掩膜版或者半色调掩膜版通过一次构图工艺形成,当然,也可以通过两次构图工艺形成,在此不作限定。
进一步地,在本公开实施例提供的上述制备方法中,如图8所示,导向结构01也可以由第一栅电极11和栅极绝缘层30构成。即在步骤1中将第一栅电极11的图形制备成与导向结构01的图形相似,步骤2中在第一栅电极11上形成栅极绝缘层30,使栅极绝缘层30具有与第一栅电极11相应的图形,从而可以省去步骤3对栅极绝缘层30进行构图的工艺。
以第一薄膜晶体管和第二薄膜晶体管均为顶栅型晶体管为例,本公开提供的一些实施例具体包括以下步骤:
步骤01、形成导向结构01的图形。
需要说明的是,在图9a中,虚线矩形框示意出导向结构01的凹部部分, 图9b为图9a沿BB’方向的截面示意图。
在具体实施时,导向结构采用介电材料,如SiOx,SiNx,Al2O3等,厚度控制在20nm~5000nm之间,在此不作限定。
步骤02、如图9a和图9b所示,在导向结构01的至少一侧形成催化剂颗粒021的图形,具体地,在导向结构01的凹部部分或台阶部分,形成催化剂颗粒021的图形。

步骤08、如图9i所示,通过一次构图工艺形成第一源电极13、第一漏电极14、第二源电极23和第二漏电极24的图形。第一源电极13和第一漏电极14通过贯穿刻蚀阻挡层50和栅极绝缘层30的过孔与第一有源层12连接,第二源电极23和第二漏电极24通过贯穿刻蚀阻挡层50的和栅极绝缘层30过孔与第二有源层22连接。
在上述实施例中,在形成导向结构之前还可以形成缓冲层,用来隔离衬底基板中杂质。
当然,在具体实施时,也可以对缓冲层图案化处理构成导向结构,例如缓冲层采用氮化硅(SiNX)或氧化硅(SiOx)形成,厚度控制在10nm~1000nm之间,然后通过构图工艺形成导向结构。这样缓冲层既可以隔离衬底基板中杂质,又可以省去单独用于制作导向结构的膜层。
在具体实施时,顶栅型薄膜晶体管和底栅型薄膜晶体管在制作工艺上仅 是膜层先后制作顺序的改变,因此,上述顶栅型薄膜晶体管中各膜层的制备可以参考上述底栅型薄膜晶体管中具有相同功能的膜层的制备。
在具体实施时,当上述阵列基板应用于显示面板时,在形成第一薄膜晶体管和第二薄膜晶体管之后,如图10所示,还包括在衬底基板10上形成平坦化层60、电极层70等,在此不作限定。
在具体实施时,本公开不限于以上所举结构,同样适合于第一薄膜晶体管为底栅型晶体管,第二薄膜晶体管为顶栅型晶体管,或者,第一薄膜晶体管为顶栅型晶体管,第二薄膜晶体管为底栅型晶体管等的TFT结构,本领域的技术人员可以在不出现知识创造的前提下了解,在此不在赘述。
基于同一发明构思,本公开实施例还提供了一种阵列基板,阵列基板采用本公开实施例提供的上述任一种制备方法制备;其中,如图6h、图7和图9i所示,阵列基板包括位于衬底基板10上的第一薄膜晶体管和第二薄膜晶体管;第一薄膜晶体管包括:第一栅电极11、第一有源层12、第一源电极13和第一漏电极14;第二薄膜晶体管包括:第二栅电极21、第二有源层22、第二源电极23和第二漏电极24;

第二有源层22的材料与第一有源层12的材料不相同。
可选地,在本公开实施例提供的阵列基板中,第二有源层的材料可以为低温多晶硅材料、碳纳米管材料或者氧化物半导体材料。
在具体实施时,参见图11a和图11b所示,在第一薄膜晶体管中,导向结构01沿第一方向X的长度大于硅基纳米线沿第一方向X的长度,且导向结构01沿第一方向X延伸,硅基纳米线41的延伸方向与导向结构01的延伸方向相同,为第一源电极13与第一漏电极14的连线方向。图11a和图11b仅是为了说明硅基纳米线41在第一薄膜晶体管中的位置关系。
在具体实施时,由于该阵列基板解决问题的原理与前述一种阵列基板的 制备方法相似,因此该阵列基板的实施可以参见前述制备方法的实施,重复之处不再赘述。
基于同一发明构思,本公开实施例还提供了一种显示面板,包括本公开实施例提供的上述阵列基板。该显示面板可以为:手机、平板电脑、电视机、显示器、笔记本电脑、数码相框、导航仪等任何具有显示功能的产品或部件。该显示装置的实施可以参见上述阵列基板的实施例,重复之处不再赘述。
在具体实施时,第一薄膜晶体管可以位于显示面板的边框区域,这样可以减小边框的宽度。
本公开实施例提供的一种阵列基板、其制备方法及显示面板,包括:在衬底基板上形成第一薄膜晶体管和第二薄膜晶体管。在形成第一薄膜晶体管的有源层时,利用催化剂颗粒与硅具有共熔点、以非晶硅的吉布斯自由能大于结晶硅(硅基纳米线)的吉布斯自由能为驱动力、通过熔融的催化剂颗粒吸收非晶硅形成过饱和硅共熔体,使硅成核生长成为硅基纳米线。并且硅基纳米线在生长过程中,非晶硅薄膜在催化剂颗粒的作用下沿着导向结构线性生长,从而获得高密度、高均一性的硅基纳米线。另外,通过对催化剂颗粒的尺寸以及非晶硅薄膜的厚度进行控制还可以实现对硅基纳米线的宽度进行控制。从而实现尺度均一可控的硅基纳米线薄膜晶体管的制备。另外,第一有源层和第二有源层采用不同的材料进行制作,使不同薄膜晶体管发挥不同的优势,以增加阵列基板的实用范围。
显然,本领域的技术人员可以对本公开进行各种改动和变型而不脱离本公开的精神和范围。这样,倘若本公开的这些修改和变型属于本公开权利要求及其等同技术的范围之内,则本公开也意图包含这些改动和变型在内。
