Description

一种金属氧化物半导体及薄膜晶体管与应用 技术领域
本发明涉及半导体制造领域,尤其涉及平板显示和探测器应用中的金属氧化物半导体薄膜晶体管背板制作所用的材料和器件结构,具体涉及金属氧化物半导体及薄膜晶体管与应用。
背景技术
对于现有的金属氧化物半导体体系中,铟离子(In 3+)由于具有相对较大的离子半径,使得在多元金属氧化物中更高几率的轨道交叠而确保了其高效的载流子传输通道,其5s轨道是主要的电子输运通道。但是,一方面,由于铟与氧成键后In-O的断键能较低,所以在单纯的氧化铟(In 2O 3)薄膜中存在大量的氧空位缺陷。而氧空位是导致金属氧化物薄膜晶体管稳定性劣化的主要原因。另一方面,常规溅射成膜的氧化铟中存在较多的晶格失配,使得薄膜的载流子迁移率较低,限制了其在高性能薄膜晶体管中的应用。通常,需要掺杂与In 3+离子数量相当的Ga 3+离子对氧空位进行调控。同时,为了保证半导体器件的性能均匀性,需要金属氧化物半导体薄膜保持非晶薄膜结构。
由于ZnO的晶体结构与In 2O 3和Ga 2O 3两种材料的晶体结构差异较大,所以在薄膜中掺入与In离子数量相当Zn离子,可以抑制材料结晶,保持薄膜的非晶结构。因此,在目前的金属氧化物半导体材料中应用最为广泛的就是IGZO(In:Ga:Zn=1:1:1mol)。
但是,IGZO亦存在一些问题:Ga 3+和Zn 2+离子的大量加入,大大稀释了In 3+的浓度,进而减少了5s轨道的交叠程度,降低了电子迁移率。
另外,IGZO等材料在靠近价带处存在大量的陷阱态。这导致了即使在光照 能量低于禁带宽度时,亦会产生光生载流子,导致当前的金属氧化物半导体存在光稳定性差的问题。
发明内容
为了克服现有技术的不足,本发明提供一种迁移率相对较高、光稳定性强的金属氧化物半导体,其为一种新的共掺杂策略,利用稀土氧化物特殊的4f电子轨道特点,能在高In比的氧化物薄膜中,实现较高迁移率的同时,控制载流子浓度,并获得光稳定性强的金属氧化物半导体。
本发明的新的共掺杂策略是在含铟的金属氧化物中,同时引入两种作用不同的稀土元素R的氧化物材料和稀土元素R’的氧化物材料,其中,稀土元素R的氧化物为载流子浓度控制剂,稀土元素R’的氧化物为光稳定剂,即稀土元素R’的氧化物为电荷转换中心,其作用原理如下:
载流子浓度控制剂是利用了稀土元素R的氧化物的氧化镱和氧化铕中Yb 2+离子和Eu 2+离子分别具有全满和半满的4f电子轨道。因此,稀土元素R的氧化物中的二价离子相比于三价离子在氧化物中具有更低能量。在氧化物半导体中,对于In 3+离子进行替代为掺杂时,可以明显减少载流子浓度。同时,由于Yb-O和Eu-O的断键焓变(ΔHf298)分别为715.1kJ/mol和557.0kJ/mol,均远大于In-O的断键能(360.0kJ/mol),进而能有效控制氧空位浓度。综上所述,结合以上两个特点,稀土元素R的氧化物的引入可以有效地在高In体系下控制氧化物半导体薄膜的氧空位,其中,由于Yb 2+的离子半径相比于Eu 2+更小,更有利于减小氧化物半导体内In-In的距离,因此也更能保持其较好的高迁移率特性。
光稳定剂是利用稀土元素R’的氧化物中氧化镨、氧化铽、氧化铈、氧化镝等材料的稀土离子半径和氧化铟中的铟离子半径相当的特性,以及稀土离子中4f轨道电子结构和铟离子的5s轨道能形成高效的电荷转换中心,以提高其电学 稳定性,特别是光照下的稳定性。
本发明的目的之二在于提供包含该金属氧化物半导体的薄膜晶体管。
本发明的目的之三在于提供该薄膜晶体管的应用。
本发明采用如下技术方案实现:
一种金属氧化物半导体,该金属氧化物半导体为:在含铟的金属氧化物MO-In 2O 3半导体中,分别掺入至少两种的稀土元素R的氧化物和稀土元素R’的氧化物,形成In xM yR n R’ mO z半导体材料,其中,x+y+m+n=1,0.4≤x<0.9999,0≤y<0.5,0.0001≤(m+n)≤0.2,m>0,n>0,z>0。
即本发明提供的金属氧化物半导体是基于氧化铟的复合半导体,通过共掺杂的手段,引入了两类功能不同,但是作用互补的稀土氧化物。其中稀土元素R的氧化物可选的材料为氧化镱、氧化铕,其作为载流子浓度控制剂,利用了氧化镱和氧化铕中Yb 2+离子和Eu 2+离子,分别具有全满和半满的4f电子轨道。因此,稀土元素R的氧化物中的二价离子相比于三价离子在氧化物中具有更低能量。在氧化物半导体中,对于In 3+离子进行替代为掺杂时,可以明显减少载流子浓度。同时,由于Yb-O和Eu-O的断键焓变(ΔHf298)分别为715.1kJ/mol和557.0kJ/mol,均远大于In-O的断键能(360.0kJ/mol),进而能有效控制氧空位浓度。结合以上两个特点,稀土元素R的氧化物的引入可以有效的在高In体系下控制氧化物半导体薄膜的氧空位。其中由于Yb 2+的离子半径相比于Eu 2+更小,更有利于减小氧化物半导体内In-In的距离,因此也更能保持其较好的高迁移率特性。
同时,稀土元素R’的氧化物可选材料为氧化镨、氧化铽、氧化铈、氧化镝。该材料选择是利用了稀土离子中4f轨道电子结构特点,其和铟离子的5s轨道能 形成高效的电荷转换中心。在正偏压下,稀土离子处于稳定的低能态,由于费米能级的调制作用使得薄膜中具有较高的载流子浓度,可以有效屏蔽该转换中心造成的载流子散射效应,从而对器件的电性特性等未有明显的影响。在负偏压下,稀土元素4f中的电子轨道的和铟的5s轨道发生耦合,稀土离子处于不稳定的活化状态。一方面,其造成了器件关态电流的增加,而且其对载流子的散射作用增强,使得器件的亚阈值摆幅稍有增大;另一方面,当有合适的光激发出光生载流子后,光生电子会被该活化的转换中心快速“俘获”,并通过其耦合轨道以非辐射跃迁的形式使该光生载流子和离化的氧空位复合,同时该活化中心重新恢复活化状态。因此,该转换中心,在能提供光生载流子的快速复合通道,避免其对I-V特性以及稳定性的影响。大幅提高金属氧化物半导体器件在光照下的稳定性。
进一步地,所述稀土元素R的氧化物为载流子浓度控制剂;所述稀土元素R的氧化物为氧化镱、氧化铕中的一种或两种材料组合。
进一步地,所述稀土元素R’的氧化物为光稳定剂;所述稀土元素R’的氧化物为氧化镨、氧化铽、氧化铈、氧化镝中的一种或任意两种以上材料组合。
进一步地,所述MO中,M为Zn、Ga、Sn、Ge、Sb、Al、Mg、Ti、Zr、Hf、Ta、W中的一种或任意两种以上材料组合。
进一步地,所述金属氧化物半导体通过采用物理气相沉积工艺、化学气相沉积工艺、原子层沉积工艺、激光沉积工艺、反应离子沉积工艺、溶液法工艺中的任意一种工艺的方法制备成膜。
本发明的目的之二采用如下技术方案实现:
一种薄膜晶体管,该薄膜晶体管包括栅极、有源层、位于所述栅极和有源层之间的绝缘层、分别电性连接在所述有源层两端的源极和漏极、以及间隔层, 其特征在于,所述有源层为上述所述的金属氧化物半导体。
即本发明还提供基于该金属氧化物半导体制得的有源层形成的薄膜晶体管,该金属氧化物半导体通过向含铟的金属氧化物中同时引入两种作用不同的稀土元素R的氧化物和稀土元素R’的氧化物,其中,稀土元素R的氧化物作为载流子浓度控制剂,稀土元素R’的氧化物作为光稳定剂,以使其能保持较好的高迁移率特性,并且能提高其电学稳定性,特别是光照下的稳定性。
进一步地,所述间隔层为采用等离子增强化学气相沉积方式制备的氧化硅、氮化硅、氮氧化硅薄膜中的一种结构或者任意两种以上组成的叠层结构。
本发明的目的之三采用如下技术方案实现:
所述的薄膜晶体管在显示面板或探测器中的应用。
相比现有技术,本发明的有益效果在于:
本发明通过一种新的共掺杂策略,在基于铟的金属氧化物中,通过引入两种功能不同的稀土氧化物材料,同时实现载流子浓度控制,以及达到良好器件光稳定性的效果,为未来高性能金属氧化物半导体材料的实现提供了崭新的思路。
本发明通过在含铟的金属氧化物中引入至少两种的稀土元素R的氧化物和稀土元素R’的氧化物,以形成的金属氧化物半导体,稀土元素R的氧化物作为载流子控制,稀土元素R’的氧化物作为光稳定性增强的作用,其目的是通过利用稀土元素R的氧化物中极高的氧断键能,进而有效控制氧化物半导体内的载流子浓度。同时,利用稀土离子半径和氧化铟中的铟离子半径相当的特性,而且稀土元素R’离子中4f轨道电子结构和铟离子的5s轨道能形成高效的电荷转换中心,以提高其电学稳定性,特别是光照下的稳定性。

由该表1可知,氧化镨和氧化铕的掺入对器件性能有非常明显的影响。首先,如表1的试验1所示,未掺杂氧化镨(m=0)和氧化铕(n=0)的氧化铟锡锌制备的器件没有表现出薄膜晶体管的“开关”特性(导通状态),表明薄膜中的载流子浓度过高。如表1的试验2所示,通过掺入一定量(对应m=0,n=0.05)的氧化铕后,器件表现出来“开关”特性,详见图4(a)所示,表明氧化铕的掺入能有效地抑制薄膜中的载流子浓度,对应的薄膜Hall数据见表1所示。进一步的,如表1的试验2~8所示,通过调节共溅射中靶材的溅射功率,可以制 备出一系列不同镨含量的器件。需要指出的是,未掺氧化镨的器件(对应m=0,n=0.05)具有相对较高的迁移率,较小的亚阈值摆幅和较负的阈值电压,但是其光生电流特性极强,即在有光照射条件下器件特性发生非常明显的变化(阈值电压负向漂移,亚阈值摆幅退化严重)。但是,在掺入一定量的氧化镨后器件的光生电流特性得到了明显的抑制。当然,随着氧化镨含量的增加,器件的迁移率等特性也进一步退化,光生电流特性进一步改善。当过量的氧化镨掺入后(如m=0.15,n=0.05),器件的迁移率明显退化,虽然器件的光生电流特性极弱,但是这极大地限制了其应用的领域。因此,在实际应用中需要权衡二者的关系,选择适当的掺入量。
将本实施例中所制备器件进行对应的光生电流特性测试,如图4(b)和4(c)所示,其对应的m值分别为0和0.05,当有光照射在器件上时,未掺氧化镨的器件(对应m=0,n=0.05)阈值电压明显负向偏移,亚阈值摆幅严重退化;而掺入一定量的氧化镨后(对应m=0.05,n=0.05),器件的阈值电压几乎没有变化;表现出了优异的光照稳定性,也即对应表1中的弱光生电流特性。

由该表5可知,氧化铈和氧化铕的掺入对器件性能有非常明显的影响。首先,如表5的试验1所示,未掺杂氧化铈(m=0)和氧化铕(n=0)的氧化铟锌制备的器件没有表现出薄膜晶体管的“开关”特性(导通状态),表明薄膜中的载流子浓度过高。如表5的试验2所示,通过掺入一定量(对应m=0,n=0.05) 的氧化铕后,器件表现出来“开关”特性,详见图8(a)所示,表明氧化铕的掺入能有效地抑制薄膜中的载流子浓度,对应的薄膜Hall数据见表5所示。进一步的,如表5的试验2~8所示,通过调节所配溶液中的组分,可以制备出一系列不同铈含量的器件。需要指出的是,未掺氧化铈的器件(对应m=0,n=0.05)具有相对较高的迁移率,较小的亚阈值摆幅和较负的阈值电压,但是其光生电流特性极强,即在有光照射条件下器件特性发生非常明显的变化(阈值电压负向漂移,亚阈值摆幅退化严重)。但是,在掺入一定量的氧化铈后器件的光生电流特性得到了明显的抑制。当然,随着氧化铈含量的增加,器件的迁移率等特性也进一步退化,光生电流特性进一步改善。当过量的氧化铈掺入后(如m=0.15,n=0.05),器件的迁移率明显退化,虽然器件的光生电流特性极弱,但是这极大地限制了其应用的领域。因此,在实际应用中需要权衡二者的关系,选择适当的掺入量。
将本实施例中所制备器件进行对应的光生电流特性测试,如图8(b)和8(c)所示,其对应的n值均为0.05,m值分别为0和0.05,当有光照射在器件上时,未掺氧化铈的器件(对应m=0,n=0.05)阈值电压明显负向偏移,亚阈值摆幅严重退化;而掺入一定量的氧化铈后(对应m=0.05,n=0.05),器件的阈值电压几乎没有变化;表现出了优异的光照稳定性,也即对应表5中的弱光生电流特性。
本实施例的试验结果表明,本发明在氧化铟锌基体材料中,掺入一定量的氧化铈和氧化铕能有效控制材料的载流子浓度、提高光稳定性。

绝缘层04为化学气相沉积方式制备的氮化硅(Si 3N 4)和氧化硅(SiO 2)的叠层,厚度为250/50nm;其中氮化硅在下层和栅极05接触,氧化硅在上层和沟道层03接触。
为测试不同氧化镝含量对器件性能的影响,沟道层03的材料为实施例6的氧化镝、氧化镱共掺杂氧化铟锌钽半导体材料,利用氧化铟锌钽(InZnTaO)、氧化镱掺杂氧化铟锌钽(Yb:InZnTaO),以及氧化镝、氧化镱共掺杂的氧化铟锌钽(Dy-Yb:InZnTaO)三个陶瓷靶材,采用单个靶材或两个共溅射的方式、通过调整两个靶材的溅射功率从而实现不同成分比例的薄膜制备而成。

其中薄膜的图案化工序采用光刻工艺、并结合湿法或干法的刻蚀方式进行。
本实施例中的具体参数和制备的薄膜晶体管器件性能如表6所示,其中光 生电流特性的表征方式为采用商用白色LED光源照射薄膜晶体管器件的沟道层03,通过评估光照和无光照条件下器件的转移特性,提取器件阈值电压的变化情况来评估其强弱;阈值电压变化幅度大表明其光生电流特性强,反之则弱。
表6
Figure PCTCN2021096784-appb-000006
由该表6可知,氧化镝和氧化镱的掺入对器件性能有非常明显的影响。首先,如表6的试验1所示,未掺杂氧化镝(m=0)和氧化镱(n=0)的氧化铟锌钽制备的器件没有表现出薄膜晶体管的“开关”特性(导通状态),表明薄膜中的载流子浓度过高。如表6的试验2所示,通过掺入一定量(对应m=0,n=0.05)的氧化镱后,器件表现出来“开关”特性,详见图9(a)所示,表明氧化镱的掺入能有效地抑制薄膜中的载流子浓度,对应的薄膜Hall数据见表6所示。进一步的,如表6的试验2~8所示,通过调节对应靶材的溅射功率,可以制备出一系列不同镝含量的器件。需要指出的是,未掺氧化镝的器件(对应m=0,n=0.05)具有相对较高的迁移率,较小的亚阈值摆幅和较负的阈值电压,但是其光生电 流特性极强,即在有光照射条件下器件特性发生非常明显的变化(阈值电压负向漂移,亚阈值摆幅退化严重)。但是,在掺入一定量的氧化镝后器件的光生电流特性得到了明显的抑制。当然,随着氧化镝含量的增加,器件的迁移率等特性也进一步退化,光生电流特性进一步改善。当过量的氧化镝掺入后(如m=0.15,n=0.05),器件的迁移率明显退化,虽然器件的光生电流特性极弱,但是这极大地限制了其应用的领域。因此,在实际应用中需要权衡二者的关系,选择适当的掺入量。

本实施例的试验结果表明,本发明在氧化铟锌钽基体材料中,掺入一定量的氧化镝和氧化镱能有效控制材料的载流子浓度、提高光稳定性。
实施例19:显示面板
一种显示面板,包括上述实施例13-18中的薄膜晶体管,薄膜晶体管用于驱动显示面板中的显示单元。
实施例20:探测器
一种探测器,包括上述实施例13-18中的薄膜晶体管,薄膜晶体管用于驱动探测器的探测单元。
下面,对本发明实施的薄膜晶体管的各功能层做进一步的说明。
本发明中的基板没有特别限制,可以使用本领域中公知的基板01。如:硬 质的碱玻璃、无碱玻璃、石英玻璃、硅基板等;亦可为可弯曲的聚酰亚胺(PI)、聚萘二甲酸乙二醇酯(PEN)、聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯(PET)、聚乙烯(PE)、聚丙烯(PP)、聚苯乙烯(PS)、聚矾醚(PES)或者金属薄片等。
本发明中的栅极05材料没有特别限定,其可在本领域公知的材料中任意选取。如:透明导电氧化物(ITO、AZO、GZO、IZO、ITZO、FTO等),金属(Mo、Al、Cu、Ag、Ti、Au、Ta、Cr、Ni等)及其合金、以及金属和氧化物(ITO/Ag/ITO、IZO/Ag/IZO等)、金属和金属叠设(Mo/Al/Mo、Ti/Al/Ti等)形成的复合导电薄膜。
栅极05薄膜的制备方法可以是溅射法、电镀、热蒸发和其他的沉积方式,优选溅射沉积方式,因为该方式制备的薄膜和基板01的粘附性好、均匀性优异、可以大面积制备。
这里,具体用哪种结构的栅电极需要根据所需要达到的技术参数而定,如透明显示中需要用到透明电极,其可由单层的ITO作为栅电极,亦可由ITO/Ag/ITO作为栅电极。另外,特殊领域的应用中需要有高温工艺,那栅电极可以选择可以抵抗高温的金属合金薄膜。
本发明中的绝缘层04材料没有特别限定,其可在本领域公知的材料中任意选取。如:氧化硅、氮化硅、氧化铝、氧化钽、氧化铪、氧化钇、以及高分子有机膜层等。
需要指出的是,这些绝缘薄膜的组分可以与理论上的化学计量比不一致。另外,绝缘层04可以是多种绝缘膜叠设而成,一方面形成更好的绝缘特性,另一方面可以改善沟道层03和绝缘层04的界面特性。而且,该绝缘层04的制备方式多样,可以是物理气相沉积、化学气相沉积、原子层沉积、激光沉积、阳极氧化或溶液法等方式制备。
湿法刻蚀采用的刻蚀液包括:磷酸、硝酸和冰醋酸的混合液或者基于双氧水的混合液。金属氧化物半导体材料在双氧水基的刻蚀液中的刻蚀速率小于1nm/min。干法刻蚀示例性的,可以选择等离子刻蚀工艺,刻蚀气体包括氯基或氟基气体。
金属氧化物半导体材料采用真空磁控溅射工艺过程中,可选单靶材溅射或多靶材共溅射,优选为单靶材溅射。
因为单靶材溅射可以提供重复性更好、更稳定的薄膜,而且薄膜的微观结构更易控制;而不至于像共溅射薄膜中,溅射粒子在重新组合的过程中会受到更多因素的干扰。
真空溅射沉积过程中,电源可以选取射频(RF)溅射、直流(DC)溅射或交流(AC)溅射,优选工业中常用的交流溅射。
溅射沉积过程中,溅射气压为0.1Pa~10Pa可选,优选为0.3Pa~0.7Pa。
溅射气压太低时,无法维持稳定的辉光溅射;溅射气压太高时,溅射粒子在向基板01沉积的过程中受到的散射明显增加,能量损耗增加,到达基板01后动能降低,形成的薄膜缺陷增加,从而严重影响器件的性能。
溅射沉积过程中,氧分压为0~1Pa可选,优选为0.001~0.5Pa,更优选为0.01~0.1Pa。
通常而言,溅射制备氧化物半导体的过程中,氧分压对薄膜的载流子浓度有着直接的影响,而且会引入一些氧空位相关的缺陷。过低的氧含量,可能会造成薄膜中氧严重失配,载流子浓度增加;而过高的氧空位会引起较多的弱结合键,降低器件的可靠性。
溅射沉积过程中,衬底温度优选为200~300℃。
沟道层薄膜沉积的过程中,一定的衬底温度可以有效改善溅射粒子到达基 板01后的结合方式,降低弱结合键的存在几率,提升器件的稳定性。当然,这一效果亦可以通过后续的退火处理等工艺来实现同样的功效。
沟道层03的厚度为2~100nm可选,优选为5~50nm,更优选为20~40nm。
本发明中的源漏电极材料没有特别限定,在不影响实现各种所需结构器件的前提下其可在本领域公知的材料中任意选取。如:透明导电氧化物(ITO、AZO、GZO、IZO、ITZO、FTO等),金属(Mo、Al、Cu、Ag、Ti、Au、Ta、Cr、Ni等)及其合金、以及金属和氧化物(ITO/Ag/ITO、IZO/Ag/IZO等)、金属和金属叠设(Mo/Al/Mo、Ti/Al/Ti等)形成的复合导电薄膜。
源漏电极薄膜的制备方法可以是溅射法、热蒸发和其他的沉积方式,优选溅射沉积方式,因为该方式制备的薄膜和基板01的粘附性好、均匀性优异、可以大面积制备。
这里,需要特别说明的是,在制备背沟道刻蚀型结构的器件中,源漏电极和沟道层03需要有合适的刻蚀选择比,否则无法实现器件的制备。本发明实施例中湿法刻蚀的刻蚀液是基于工业界常规金属的刻蚀液(如:双氧水基刻蚀液),主要是因为本发明的一种金属氧化物半导体材料能有效抵抗湿法双氧水基刻蚀液的刻蚀,其和金属(如钼、钼合金、钼/铝/钼等)具有很高的刻蚀选择比,该金属氧化物半导体层基本不受刻蚀液的影响,所制备的器件性能优异,稳定性好。另外,本发明实施例中的干法刻蚀是基于工业界常规的刻蚀气体(如氯基气体,氟基气体等),其对本发明的氧化物半导体层影响甚微,所制备的器件性能优异,稳定性好。
本发明中的钝化层材料没有特别限定,其可在本领域公知的材料中任意选取。如:氧化硅、氮化硅、氧化铝、氧化钽、氧化铪、氧化钇、以及高分子有机膜层等。
需要指出的是,这些绝缘薄膜的组分可以与理论上的化学计量比不一致。另外,绝缘层04可以是多种绝缘膜叠设而成,一方面形成更好的绝缘特性,另一方面可以改善沟道层03和钝化层的界面特性。而且,该钝化层的制备方式多样,可以是物理气相沉积、化学气相沉积、原子层沉积、激光沉积或溶液法等方式制备。
下面,进一步对本发明实施的薄膜晶体管制备过程中的处理工艺进行说明。
相对而言,溅射制备的薄膜由于有高能等离子体的参与,所沉积薄膜的速率一般也较快;薄膜在沉积过程中没有足够的时间执行弛豫过程,这会造成一定比例的错位和应力残留于薄膜中。这需要后期的加热退火处理,而继续达到所需的相对稳态,改善薄膜的性能。
在本发明的实施中,退火处理大都设置在沟道层03沉积后,以及钝化层沉积后。一方面在沟道层03沉积后进行退火处理,可以有效改善沟道层03中的原位缺陷,提高沟道层03抵抗后续工艺中可能的损伤的能力。另一方面,在后续的钝化层沉积过程中,由于等离子体的参与和活性基团的改性作用,这可能需要一个“激活”的过程,进一步消除界面态和一些施主掺杂等效应。
另外,在本发明的实施中,处理的方式可以不仅仅是加热处理,可以包括等离子体处理界面(如绝缘层04/半导体界面,沟道层03/钝化层界面等)。
通过上述的处理工艺可以有效改善器件的性能,提高器件的稳定性。
上述实施例为本发明较佳的实施方式,但本发明的实施方式并不受上述实施例的限制,其它的任何未背离本发明的精神实质与原理下所作的改变、修饰、替代、组合、简化,均应为等效的置换方式,都包含在本发明的保护范围之内。
