本公开的一些实施例提供一种显示装置,包括显示面板,以及设置于显示面板上的驱动电路,如像素驱动电路、栅极驱动电路等。
薄膜晶体管(Thin Film Transistor,TFT)是构成像素驱动电路、栅极驱动电路等的重要元器件,在通电过程中,通过控制薄膜晶体管的开启和关闭,即可控制像素驱动电路和栅极驱动电路驱动显示面板进行显示。
其中,以上所述的显示装置可以为LCD(Liquid Crystal Display,液晶显示器)、OLED(Organic Light-Emitting Diode,有机发光二极管)和QLED(Quantum Dot Light Emitting Diodes,量子点发光二极管)、MicroLED(Micro Light Emitting Diodes,微发光二极管)、miniLED(mini Light Emitting Diodes,迷你发光二极管)显示装置等中的一种。
该显示装置具体可以为手机、平板电脑、笔记本、个人数字助理(personal digital assistant,PDA)、车载电脑、膝上型计算机,数码相机等。
根据有源层的材料不同,薄膜晶体管TFT主要包括非晶硅(如氢化非晶硅:a-Si:H)TFT、低温多晶硅(Low Temperature Poly-silicon,LTPS)TFT、金属氧化物TFT和有机TFT等。
其中,金属氧化物半导体TFT由于金属氧化物的禁带宽度大、载流子迁移率高、工艺温度低,以及器件的均匀性好等优点得到更多的关注。与此同时,金属氧化物半导体TFT也有一些难题有待解决,例如金属氧化物半导体通常是n型导电的,难以获得p型导电特性,因此在互补电路中的应用受到限制。以及,金属氧化物半导体在光照下的负栅压应力稳定性依然不足。尤其是对于作为显示面板部件的薄膜晶体管1而言,在显示领域的应用中,不可避免地会受到光的照射。例如,如图1所示,在液晶显示中,薄膜晶体管1的沟道121会受到背光的照射,在OLED显示中,薄膜晶体管1的沟道121会受到OLED自发光的影响。无论是背光源还是自发光,其发光都在可见光范围内,光子能量最大的是蓝光发光。而金属氧化物半导体材料(如IZO(Indium Zinc Oxide,氧化铟锌)、IGZO(Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide,氧化铟镓锌)等)对蓝光特别敏感,因为蓝光会使金属氧化物半导体材料中的氧空位电离,并释放电子进入导带参与导电,进而使阈值电压负漂,引起显示画面的劣化。
这里,如图2所示,以在AMOLED(Active-matrix organic light emitting diode,有源矩阵有机发光二极管)显示像素驱动中,至少包括两个TFT,分 别称为选址管TFT1和驱动管TFT2为例,由于金属氧化物半导体TFT大多只显示n沟道特征,所以其在正栅压时呈开启状态,负栅压时呈关闭状态(当金属氧化物半导体载流子浓度较大时,会出现常开的状态,即需要一个负栅压才能将其完全关断)。在每个扫描周期内选址管TFT1只打开一次,其余时间都处于关闭状态,因此选址管TFT1在负栅偏应力(Negative Bias Stress,NBS)下的稳定性就显得极为重要了。驱动管TFT2的源极是与OLED直接相连的,只要OLED发光,就要一定大小的电流流经驱动管TFT2的源漏电极,因此,驱动管TFT2基本处于开启状态,其在正栅压应力(Positive Bias Stress,PBS)下的稳定性则显得较为重要,金属氧化物半导体TFT在栅压应力下将表现出阈值电压(V th)漂移现象。
以下,将对引起阈值电压漂移的情况进行详细介绍,如图3所示,以光生空穴的俘获模型为出发点,在光照作用下,会在金属氧化物半导体层(也即有源层12)中产生光生电子-空穴对,这时,如图3中的(a)所示,如果栅极13同时加PBS,会在有源层12和栅绝缘层14界面处产生大量电子而屏蔽了电场,从而减弱了有源层12上的感生电场,这样光生电子-空穴对就不会移动。当应力撤销后电子会马上复合,因此TFT在PBIS(Positive gate bias illumination stress,负栅偏压光照应力)条件下的阈值电压漂移现象不明显。如图3中的(b)所示,如果栅极13同时加NBS,由于金属氧化物半导体是n型导电,所以在栅极13加负栅压时,有源层12处于耗尽状态,这时有源层12的上下表面之间会产生压降,造成空穴往有源层12和栅绝缘层14界面移动,而电子往相反方向移动,空穴移动到有源层12和栅绝缘层14界面处会被俘获或者会进入栅绝缘层14内,这样当应力撤销后电子无法和空穴复合,从而造成阈值电压负漂。
因此,改善金属氧化物半导体TFT在NBIS(Negative gate bias illumination stress,负栅偏压光照应力)下的阈值电压稳定性显得尤为重要。
为了解决以上问题,相关技术中通常通过增加黑矩阵,对薄膜晶体管1的有源层12进行遮光处理,以改善光稳定性。但是该方式无法解决光通过衍射进入氧化物半导体层的问题,对于长时间光照条件下的稳定性改善有限。并且,通过增加遮光工艺,会增加制备的复杂程度,造成制造成本的提高。
基于此,在一些实施例中,金属氧化物半导体材料包括半导体基质材料,以及掺杂在半导体基质材料中的至少一种稀土化合物,每种稀土化合物的通式表示为(M FD) aA b。在通式(M FD) aA b中,M FD选自稀土元素中,能够发生f-d跃迁和/或电荷转移跃迁的元素中的一种,其中,FD仅是为了与后面所提及的 M进行区别所采用的下标,并不是对M的原子个数进行的限定,与通式中a和b的含义并不相同。在以下的理解中,M FD是将FD作为M的下标,与M作为一个整体,用来表示一种能够发生f-d跃迁的稀土元素,换句话说,本申请实施例中FD是f-d跃迁的简称。A选自能够使相应的M FD发生f-d跃迁和/或电荷转移跃迁的吸收光谱的波段红移至可见光波段范围内的元素,a为通式(M FD) aA b中元素M FD的原子个数,b为元素A的原子个数。
其中,半导体基质材料可以为p型金属氧化物半导体材料或者n型金属氧化物半导体材料,在此不做具体限定。在半导体基质材料为p型金属氧化物半导体材料的情况下,该p型金属氧化物半导体材料可以包括氧化铜CuO、氧化锡SnO等。在半导体基质材料为n型金属氧化物半导体材料的情况下,该n型金属氧化物半导体材料示例的可以包括ITO(Indium Tin Oxide,氧化铟锡)、IGZO(Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide,氧化铟镓锌)等。
在一些实施例中,半导体基质材料可以包括至少一种第一金属氧化物和/或至少一种第二金属氧化物。每种第一金属氧化物和每种第二金属氧化物的通式均表示为M cO d。在每种第一金属氧化物中,通式中的M选自铟、锌、镓、锡和镉元素中的一种,在每种第二金属氧化物中,通式中的M选自铟、锌、镓、锡和镉元素中任意两种以上的组合,c为通式中M的个数,d为通式中元素氧的原子个数。
其中,根据以上每种第一金属氧化物中,M选自铟、锌、镓、锡和镉元素中的一种,每种第二金属氧化物中,M选自铟、锌、镓、锡和镉元素中任意两种以上的组合,可以得知,第一金属氧化物均为二元氧化物,第二金属氧化物可以为三元氧化物、四元氧化物等。
其中,示例的,对于M选自铟、锌、镓、锡和镉元素中的每一种,第一金属氧化物可以分别表示为In 2O 3、ZnO、Ga 2O 3、SnO、SnO 2和CdO。以上c和d均为整数。其中,对于In 2O 3而言,c等于2,d等于3。对于ZnO而言,c等于1,d等于1。对于Ga 2O 3而言,c等于2,d等于3。对于SnO而言,c等于1,d等于1。对于SnO 2而言,c等于1,d等于2。对于CdO而言,c等于1,d等于1。
然而,需要说明的是,在实际应用中,考虑到薄膜中存在空位、间隙等缺陷,这时,c和d可以为小数。示例的,以In 2O 3为例,In的原子个数和O的原子个数之比可以略偏离2:3。以PrB 6为例,Pr的原子个数和B的原子个数之比可以略偏离1:6。而对于半导体基质材料仅包含锡的氧化物而言,根据锡的氧化物可以包括SnO和SnO 2,可以得知,在半导体基质材料中,Sn 的原子个数和O的原子个数之比可以小于1,如可以为0.95,此时,锡的氧化物为SnO。
针对M选自不同的组合,第二金属氧化物可以为ITO(Indium Tin Oxide,氧化铟锡)、IZO(Indium Zinc Oxide,氧化铟锌)或(Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide,氧化铟镓锌)、ITZO(Indium Tin Zinc Oxide,氧化铟锡锌),其中,ITO(Indium Tin Oxide,氧化铟锡)、IZO(Indium Zinc Oxide,氧化铟锌)属于三元氧化物,(Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide,氧化铟镓锌)、ITZO(Indium Tin Zinc Oxide,氧化铟锡锌)属于四元氧化物。对于这些氧化物而言,c可以等于1,d可以等于1。而与以上相类似的,由于金属氧化物半导体薄膜中存在空位、间隙等缺陷,因此,此时,c和d也可以为小数。
根据以上金属氧化物中除SnO以外,其余金属氧化物可以均为n型金属氧化物半导体材料,且氧化物SnO只有在严格的单晶条件下才能实现p型导电,因此,在一些实施例中,在通式中,在M选自锡的情况下,c可以等于1,d可以等于2。也即,锡的氧化物为SnO 2的情形,在此情形下,该金属氧化物半导体材料为n型金属氧化物半导体材料,且在非晶状态下即就具有很高的电子迁移率。这里,与以上金属氧化物半导体薄膜中存在空位、间隙等缺陷类似的,c和d同样也可以为小数。
基于以上半导体基质材料,在对金属氧化物半导体TFT的光照稳定性的研究中发现,氧空位的离子化是持续光导的原因,光生空穴载流子被局限在氧空位处,氧空位在光照条件下变成了单电离的Vo +或双电离的Vo 2+,这反过来贡献了与持续光导性有关的自由电子,因此,通过减少沟道内以及界面处的氧空位浓度有望提高金属氧化物半导体TFT的光照稳定性。因此,为了抑制氧空位,在一些实施例中,在通式M cO d中,M还包括镧系金属、钪和钇中的一种或任意两种以上的组合。
此时,根据以上在通式M cO d中,M选自铟、锌、镓、锡和镉元素中的一种的情况下,M还包括镧系金属、钪和钇中的一种或任意两种以上的组合,可以得知,M可以选自铟、锌、镓、锡、镉、镧系金属、钪和钇元素中的任意两种以上的组合,也即M cO d为多元氧化物。
示例的,在此情况下,在M不包括镧系金属、钪和钇中的一种或任意两种以上的组合的情况下,M可以选自铟,此时,c可以等于2,d可以等于3,也即M cO d为In 2O 3的情况。在M包括镧系金属、钪和钇中的一种或任意两种以上的组合的情况下,M可以选自铟和钪的组合,此时,c可以等于1,d可以等于1,这时,M cO d可以表示为ScInO。
而根据以上在通式M cO d中,M选自铟、锌、镓、锡和镉元素中的任意两种以上的组合的情况下,M还包括镧系金属、钪和钇中的一种或任意两种以上的组合,可以得知,M可以选自铟、锌、镓、锡、镉、镧系金属、钪和钇元素中的任意三种以上的组合,此时,M cO d同样为多元氧化物。
示例的,在此情况下,在M不包括镧系金属、钪和钇中的一种或任意两种以上的组合的情况下,M可以选自铟和镉,此时,c和d可以均等于1,也即M cO d为InCdO的情况。在M包括镧系金属、钪和钇中的一种或任意两种以上的组合的情况下,M可以选自铟、镉和钪的组合,此时,c和d也可以均等于1,这时,M cO d可以表示为ScCdInO。
根据以上每种稀土化合物的通式表示为(M FD) aA b,在通式(M FD) aA b中,M FD选自稀土元素中,能够发生f-d跃迁和/或电荷转移跃迁的元素中的一种,A选自能够使相应的M FD发生f-d跃迁和/或电荷转移跃迁的吸收光谱的波段红移至可见光波段范围内的元素,a为通式(M FD) aA b中元素MFD的原子个数,b为元素A的原子个数。可以得知,在通式(M FD) aA b,M FD可以选自镧系金属中除镧元素以外的其余元素中的一种。而根据可见光在电磁波谱中的波长范围大约在880nm~380nm的范围内,而在可见光波段,光子能量最大的是蓝光发光,半导体基质材料(如IZO(Indium Zinc Oxide,氧化铟锌)、IGZO(Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide,氧化铟镓锌)等)对蓝光最为敏感,因此,虽然从理论上来讲,含有f电子且d能级轨道未满的离子(元素周期表中从铈到铂之间的元素,也即58号到78号的所有元素)都能发生f-d跃迁,但是,通常自由离子的f-d跃迁所需的能量(E fd)均大于6eV,吸光在深紫外区域,无法吸收蓝光,特别是镧系以外的铪、钽和钨等元素,由于f电子已满,其E fd极大,无论用什么方法均无法使f-d跃迁吸收红移至蓝光区域,而镧元素本身没有f电子,因此不能发生f-d跃迁。而对于稀土元素中的铈、镨和铽而言,与大多数有机物相类似地,在电磁波的照射下,会发生电荷转移跃迁,即电子从配位体(这里是A的阴离子)的电子轨道跃迁至金属离子的电子轨道,产生电荷转移吸收光谱,同样能够吸收蓝光。如该电荷转移吸收光谱可以为三价离子被氧化为四价离子所吸收的光谱。
这里,需要说明的是,对于稀土元素选自铈、镨和铽中的一种而言,稀土元素的离子发生f-d跃迁和电荷转移跃迁所吸收的光谱之间可以具有交叠。
如下表1所示,为镧系元素中部分元素的三价离子的E fd的值。
表1
Figure PCTCN2021128260-appb-000001
在一些实施例中,在通式(M FD) aA b中,M FD选自铈、镨、钕、钷、钐、铽和镝中的一种。这些元素的离子具有相对较低的E fd,通过对阴离子环境进行选择,可以更容易实现M FD对蓝光进行吸收。而由于这些元素的离子中d电子寿命短,并具有强烈的温度淬灭效应,因此能够将吸收的蓝光转换成无辐射的形式,从而避免了背光源或者自发光中的蓝光电离氧空位而造成电导增大,从而使得阈值电压负漂的问题。同时,根据以上稀土元素中的铈、镨和铽可发生电荷转移跃迁,而在对阴离子环境进行选择的情况下,通过改变阴离子的电子亲和力,即改变阴离子的还原能力,即可对稀土元素中的铈、镨和铽发生电荷转移跃迁所需要的能量进行调节,同样能够实现M FD对蓝光进行吸收。另外,通过对金属氧化物半导体TFT的光照稳定性进行研究发现,这些稀土化合物与以上M还包括镧系金属、钪和钇中的一种或任意两种以上的组合相类似的,这些稀土元素的加入还能够抑制氧空位,减少沟道内以及界面处的氧空位浓度,提高金属氧化物半导体TFT的光照稳定性。
其中,根据以上薄膜晶体管1的结构特征,该金属氧化物半导体材料可以形成在有源层12的沟道区,也可以作为遮光材料形成在有源层12的需要遮光的区域,如在液晶显示面板中,为了防止背光源发出的光对有源层12造成影响,可以仅在有源层12靠近衬底基板11的表面形成包括该金属氧化物半导体材料的遮光层,有源层12中的其余位置的材料可以选择未掺杂有(M FD) aA b的金属氧化物半导体材料。
当然,该有源层12中的所有位置的材料可以均选自掺杂有(M FD) aA b的金属氧化物半导体材料,这时,根据不同的位置,可以选择不同掺杂种类的金属氧化物半导体材料,或者相同掺杂种类,不同掺杂量的金属氧化物半导体材料,在此,对以上掺杂有(M FD) aA b的金属氧化物半导体材料在有源层12中 的应用位置以及应用的掺杂比例均不做具体限定。
在一些实施例中,在通式(M FD) aA b中,M FD选自镨和铽中的一种。这两种元素的离子的E fd比钕、钷、钐和镝的离子的E fd均高,更容易通过设置阴离子环境,实现对蓝光的吸收。而虽然铈具有最低的E fd,但是铈非常活泼,容易形成电子陷阱,影响电子输运。因此,在M FD选自铈的情况下,(M FD) aA b的掺杂不利于载流子迁移率的提高。
在一些实施例中,在通式(M FD) aA b中,A选自电负性小于氧的元素中的其中一种。
根据氧的电负性较大(大约为3.44),M FD的氧化物的离子性强,M FD和氧之间的相互影响弱,因此,M FD的氧化物的d轨道能级受晶体场的劈裂小,使得M FD的离子的E fd依然较大,光吸收在紫外区域。在这些实施例中,通过选用电负性小于氧的元素,能够使M FD和A之间的共价程度增加,这样,M FD的离子的d轨道能级会由于较大的电子云扩大效应而产生较大劈裂,从而大幅降低f组态和d组态之间的能级差,进而大幅降低E fd,使离子的f-d跃迁的吸收红移,实现对蓝光的吸收。
其中,在相同的测试条件下,氧、氟、氯、氮、溴、碘、硫、硒、碲、磷、砷和硼的电负性如下表2所示。
表2
Figure PCTCN2021128260-appb-000002
由表2可知,在通式(M FD) aA b中,A可以选自氯、氮、溴、碘、硫、硒、碲、磷、砷和硼中的一种。
在一些实施例中,在通式(M FD) aA b中,A可以选自硫、硒、碲、溴、碘、磷、砷和硼中的一种。这些元素的电负性均比氧的电负性小0.5以上,可以产生较大的电子云扩大效应。
其中,需要说明的是,在硫、硒、碲、溴、碘、磷、砷和硼这几种元素中,硼的电负性最低,稀土化合物的六硼化物非常稳定,且M FD离子多价存 在,有利于降低M FD离子的E fd,因此,可选的,在通式(M FD) aA b中,A可以选自硼。
其中,对以上所述的至少一种稀土化合物的掺杂量不做具体限定,在实际应用中,根据以上稀土化合物中M FD离子的f-d跃迁属于跃迁允许的跃迁,其跃迁强度比f-f跃迁强度大10 6以上,所以只需掺杂少量的稀土化合物就能够实现对蓝光的大量吸收,而同时少量的掺杂也不会对金属氧化物半导体材料造成大量缺陷,因此对电子迁移率的影响较小。
此外,根据稀土化合物中M FD离子的f-d跃迁所需要的能量,以及M FD离子对电子迁移率的影响,不同的M FD离子,可以选择不同的掺杂量。
另外,基于以上掺杂,本公开的半导体基质材料无需展宽带隙,所以可以选择带隙相对较窄的In 2O 3或SnO 2作为半导体基质材料,由于相邻的In的5s轨道和相邻的Sn的5s轨道能够交叠,形成电子通道,所以可以保证该金属氧化物半导体材料较高的电子迁移率。
在一些实施例中,在金属氧化物半导体材料中,半导体基质材料和至少一种稀土化合物的元素组成可以表示为((M FD) aA b)x(M cO d)1-x,其中,x大于或等于0.001小于或等于0.15。也即,(M FD) aA b在半导体基质材料和至少一种稀土化合物中的摩尔占比大于或等于0.1%小于或等于15%。
在另一些实施例中,x大于或等于0.005小于或等于0.1。也即(M FD) aA b在半导体基质材料和至少一种稀土化合物中的摩尔占比大于或等于0.5%小于或等于10%。
在一些实施例中,在通式(M FD) aA b中,在M FD选自镨和铽中的一种的情况下,x大于或等于0.01小于或等于0.1。也即,(M FD) aA b在半导体基质材料和至少一种稀土化合物中的摩尔占比大于或等于1%小于或等于10%。在此摩尔占比下,即可实现对大部分蓝光的吸收。
这里,需要说明的是,由于铽的E fd比镨的低,所以,在一些实施例中,至少有一种稀土化合物中的M FD选自铽。
在一些实施例中,在通式(M FD) aA b中,M FD选自铈的x的取值小于M FD选自除铈以外的其余元素的x的取值。由于铈离子的电子云扩大效应非常显著,因此通过控制铈的掺杂量较小,还能够避免铈掺杂过多对迁移率造成影响。
在一些实施例中,在通式(M FD) aA b中,在M FD选自铈的情况下,x大于或等于0.001小于或等于0.02。也即,(M FD) aA b在半导体基质材料和至少一种稀土化合物中的摩尔占比大于或等于0.1%小于或等于2%。在此摩尔占比下, 一方面能够有效地改善NBIS稳定性,另一方面能够最大程度上减小掺杂对迁移率的影响。
在一些实施例中,该金属氧化物半导体材料还包括铼的化合物。这是因为铼离子具有较大的半径,铼的化合物本身具有较高的电子迁移率,能够对该金属氧化物半导体材料的电子迁移率进行调节。
其中,铼的化合物中阴离子可以为氧或者A中的一种,在铼的化合物中阴离子为氧的情况下,为铼的氧化物,在铼的化合物中阴离子为A的情况下,铼的化合物可以表示为Re eA f,其中e为化合物Re eA f中Re元素的原子个数,f为化合物Re eA f中A的原子个数。
在一些实施例中,在金属氧化物半导体材料中,铼的化合物在铼的化合物与半导体基质材料中的摩尔占比大于或等于0.02小于或等于0.15。
示例的,以铼的化合物为Re eA f为例,铼的化合物和半导体基质材料的元素组成可以表示为:(Re eA f) y(M cO d) 1-y,此时,y大于或等于0.02小于或等于0.15。
这里,需要说明的是,与以上c和d相类似的,a和b,以及e和f同样也可以为整数或小数。具体原因可参照以上对c和d的描述。
这里,以在通式(M FD) aA b中,在M FD选自镨,A选自溴为例,a可以等于1,b可以等于3,亦或者,a可以等于1,b可以等于2.95。
在一些实施例中,在金属氧化物半导体材料所包含的每种稀土化合物中,M FD元素发生f-d跃迁和/或电荷转移跃迁所需的最小能量小于2.64eV。
在这些实施例中,通过将金属氧化物半导体材料所包含的每种稀土化合物的M FD元素发生f-d跃迁和/或电荷转移跃迁所需的最小能量限定在小于2.64eV的范围内,对应于波长大于470nm的光,可以吸收背光源和自发光中的大部分蓝光。
这里,根据表1中各个M FD离子的E fd不同,可以根据以上最小能量范围选择合适的E fd的M FD离子和A离子,示例的,在A选自硫、硒、碲、磷、砷或硼的情况下,除E fd较低的镨、铽和铈以外的其余元素,其发生f-d跃迁和/或电荷转移跃迁所需的最小能量均可以限定在小于2.64eV的范围内。
根据背光源和自发光中还含有470nnm~500nm的蓝光,因此,可选的,在金属氧化物半导体材料所包含的每种稀土化合物中,M FD元素发生f-d跃迁和/或电荷转移跃迁所需的最小能量大于2.48eV。
通过将M FD元素发生f-d跃迁和/或电荷转移跃迁所需的最小能量限定在大于2.48eV的范围内,对应于波长小于500nm的光,由于金属氧化物半导体 材料对大于500nm的光不敏感,因此只需将小于500nm的光吸收即可大幅提高NBIS的稳定性。
这里,在M FD选自镨或铽的情况下,A选自硫、硒、碲、磷、砷或硼,即可使M FD离子的f-d跃迁所需的最小能量可以大于2.48eV。
本公开的一些实施例提供一种金属氧化物半导体材料在半导体器件中的应用。金属氧化物半导体材料包括半导体基质材料,以及掺杂在半导体基质材料中的至少一种稀土化合物,每种稀土化合物的通式表示为(M FD) aA b。在通式(M FD) aA b中,M FD选自稀土元素中,能够发生f-d跃迁和/或电荷转移跃迁的元素中的一种,A选自能够使相应的M FD发生f-d跃迁的吸收光谱的波段红移至可见光波段范围内的元素,a为通式(M FD) aA b中元素M FD的原子个数,b为元素A的原子个数。

这里,半导体基质材料和稀土化合物(M FD) aA b的具体介绍也可以参照以上金属氧化物半导体材料中对半导体基质材料和稀土化合物(M FD) aA b的描述,在此不再赘述。
其中,以上半导体薄膜100可以通过沉积或溶液法制备获得,在此不做具体限定。其中,沉积包括但不限于溅射、脉冲激光沉积和原子层沉积等。溶液法包括但不限于旋涂、喷墨打印、丝网印刷、刮涂和压印等。
在一些实施例中,在至少一种稀土化合物中,在A选自硫、硒、碲、砷和硼中的一种或多种的情况下,在衬底基板11上形成半导体薄膜100,包括:
提供一包含有金属氧化物半导体材料的靶材。
其中,该靶材可以通过以上所述的靶材的制备方法制备得到。
通过溅射工艺在衬底基板11上形成半导体薄膜100。
或者,提供分别包含该至少一种稀土化合物和半导体基质材料的靶材。
通过双靶溅射工艺在衬底基板11上形成半导体薄膜100。
在这些实施例中,在稀土化合物为一种的情况下,M FD可以选自铈、镨、钕、钷、钐、铽和镝中的一种,A可以选自硫、硒、碲、砷和硼中的一种,此时,示例的,该稀土化合物可以为Pr 2S 3。在稀土化合物为多种的情况下,M FD可以选自铈、镨、钕、钷、钐、铽和镝中的一种或多种,A可以选自硫、硒、碲、砷和硼中的一种或多种,此时,示例的,该至少一种稀土化合物可以包括Pr 2S 3和Tb 2S 3,为M FD选自铈、镨、钕、钷、钐、铽和镝中的多种,A选自硫、硒、碲、砷和硼中的一种的情形。再示例的,该至少一种稀土化合物可以包括Pr 2S 3和Tb 2Te 3,为M FD选自铈、镨、钕、钷、钐、铽和镝中的多种,A选自硫、硒、碲、砷和硼中的多种的情形。

其中,溶液法所采用的溶液配制方法可以为分散法,在分散法中,可以将稀土化合物的纳米粉末和半导体基质材料的纳米粉末分散于溶剂中形成悬浮液。然后通过旋涂、喷墨打印、丝网印刷、刮涂或压印在衬底基板11上形成一层悬浮液的液膜,而后去除溶剂即可得到该半导体薄膜100。
其中,在衬底基板11上形成半导体薄膜100之后,还可以包括:对半导体薄膜100进行退火,退火的温度可以为200~500℃。退火后该半导体薄膜100的厚度可以为5nm~80nm。
这里,需要说明的是,由于在形成半导体薄膜100之后经过退火步骤,而为了提高半导体基质材料的分散效果,可选的,在制备时,半导体基质材料可以选用半导体基质材料的前驱体。
与半导体基质材料不同,为了避免在退火后生成稀土的氧化物,在制备时,稀土化合物可以直接选自(M FD) aA b
在这些实施例中,为了提高稀土化合物的分散均匀性,在(M FD) aA b中,A选自溴和碘中的一种或多种,也即可以提高稀土化合物在溶剂中的溶解度, 并通过直接采用(M FD) aA b,能够避免在后续退火过程中发生分解而生成稀土的氧化物。
示例的,在该稀土化合物选自PrBr 3,半导体基质材料选自In 2O 3情况下,可以将PrBr 3和In 2O 3的前驱体In(NO) 3溶解于去离子水中,并调节PrBr3和In(NO) 3的摩尔比例,而后通过旋涂、退火等工艺形成半导体薄膜,在退火过程中,In(NO) 3分解得到In 2O 3,而PrBr 3不发生分解,这样就能够得到掺杂有PrBr 3的半导体薄膜。
而在该稀土化合物选自TbI 3,半导体基质材料选自SnO 2的情况下,可以将TbI 3和SnO 2分散于溶剂中得到悬浮液,并调节TbI 3和SnO 2的摩尔比例,而后通过旋涂、退火等工艺形成半导体薄膜,在退火过程中,TbI 3不发生分解,这样就能够得到掺杂有TbI 3的半导体薄膜100。
这里,需要说明的是,在稀土化合物为一种的情况下,M FD可以选自铈、镨、钕、钷、钐、铽和镝中的一种,A可以选自溴和碘中的一种,如该稀土化合物可以为PrBr 3。在稀土化合物为多种的情况下,M FD可以选自铈、镨、钕、钷、钐、铽和镝中的一种或多种,A可以选自溴和碘中的一种或多种,如该至少一种稀土化合物可以包括PrBr 3和TbI 3
S202、对半导体薄膜100进行图案化处理,得到薄膜晶体管1的有源层12。

在制备好有源层12之后,还可以包括S203、在形成有源层12的衬底基板11上形成源极15和漏极16。例如可以通过蒸镀或沉积形成导电薄膜,并通过涂覆光刻胶、曝光、显影、刻蚀等工艺形成源极15和漏极16。源极15和漏极16的厚度可以为100nm~1000nm。
基于以上具体实施方式,为了对本公开提供的技术方案的技术效果进行客观评价,以下,将通过应用例、对比例和实验例对本公开提供的技术方案进行详细地示例性地描述。
应用例1
应用例1提供一种薄膜晶体管,该薄膜晶体管的制备方法如下:
步骤1)、在衬底基板11上通过溅射形成一层厚度为300nm的Al:Nd(铝钕合金)膜,通过涂覆光刻胶、曝光、显影等工艺形成栅极13。
其中,该衬底基板11可以为包含有缓冲层的玻璃。
步骤2)、用阳极氧化的方法制备绝缘层,形成一层厚度为200nm的栅极氧化层(Al 2O 3:Nd,氧化铝钕)14。
步骤3)、将TbB 6材料和In 2O 3材料分别制备成两个靶材,再把这两个靶材安装在不同的靶位上,同时溅射制备在形成有栅绝缘层14的衬底基板11上形成(TbB 6) x(In 2O 3) 1-x薄膜。采用涂覆光刻胶、曝光、显影等步骤形成有源层12。
有源层12的元素组成表示为(TbB 6) x(In 2O 3) 1-x,其中0.001≤x≤0.15,并分别做x等于0.001、0.01、0.05、0.1和0.15的平行试验。
步骤4)、采用溅射的方法在形成有有源层12的衬底基板11上形成一层厚度为240nm的氧化铟锡(ITO,Indium Tin Oxides)金属氧化物薄膜,并通过构图工艺形成源极15和漏极16。
步骤5)、将制备的薄膜晶体管1在大气环境下在300℃退火1小时。得到x分别等于0.001、0.01、0.05、0.1和0.15的TFT。
实验例1
对以上应用例1中的TFT和x等于0时在同等条件下制作的TFT的转移特性曲线进行测试,测试条件为NBIS条件,采用LED(Light-Emitting Diode,发光二极管)白光照射,栅偏压为-30V。
在测试完成后,计算应用例1中的TFT和x等于0时在同等条件下制作的TFT在NBIS条件下的单位时间内的阈值电压漂移量(ΔV th),并根据转移特性饱和区的公式,代入相应区域的电流值和阈值电压即可计算获得电子迁移率。其中,阈值电压偏移量(ΔV th)和电子迁移率的计算结果如下表3所示。
表3

在表3中,ΔV th表示每小时的阈值电压漂移量。由表3可知,在x等于0.001的情况下,NBIS下的ΔV th就可以大幅减小;在x提高到0.01的情况下,ΔV th就可以控制在3V以内,基本满足应用需求;在x等于0.05时,ΔV th最小,为0.8V。可见,随着TbB 6的掺杂量提高,在NBIS下的ΔV th总体呈减小趋势,但是在x大于0.05的情况下,在NBIS下的ΔV th略有上升,这说明 仅需要掺杂少量的TbB 6,即可大幅降低阈值电压漂移量,而随着掺杂量继续增大,阈值电压偏移量的减小量不明显,甚至有反弹趋势。而随着x值逐渐增大,电子迁移率呈逐渐降低趋势,可以得知,在x值等于0.05的情况下,既能够保持较高的电子迁移率,又能够提高TFT的NBIS下的稳定性。解决了相关技术中金属氧化物半导体材料的电子迁移率和NBIS稳定性相互制约的问题。
另外,在NBIS条件下对器件的电学性能进行测试时发现,在x等于0的情况下,有源层12中的载流子浓度很大,薄膜晶体管1的阈值电压较负,难以关断。而在掺杂TbB 6后,有源层12中的载流子浓度下降,可以对薄膜晶体管1的阈值电压往正向进行调控。这说明:在掺杂TbB 6后,TbB 6还具有抑制氧空位,降低载流子浓度的作用,可进一步提高金属氧化物半导体TFT的光照稳定性。
应用例2
应用例2提供一种薄膜晶体管,该薄膜晶体管的制备方法的步骤1)、步骤2)和步骤4)与以上应用例1中的步骤1)、步骤2)和步骤4)基本相同,在此不再赘述。
不同的是,在步骤3)中,将包含有Pr 2S 3、In 2O 3和ZnO的靶材固定在靶位上,采用单靶溅射的方法在形成有栅绝缘层的衬底基板上形成厚度为20nm的(Pr 2S 3) x(In 5.2Zn 1.0O y) 1-x薄膜。并在溅射完成之后在250℃退火1h。之后采用涂覆光刻胶、曝光、显影等步骤形成有源层12。其中,x等于0.09,y可以为8.8或9。
在制备好源极15和漏极16之后,还包括步骤5)、制备一层Al 2O 3作为钝化层。
其中,以上采用单靶溅射的方法在形成有栅绝缘层14的衬底基板11上形成厚度为20nm的(Pr 2S 3) x(In 5.2Zn 1.0O y) 1-x薄膜之前,还可以包括:将Pr 2S 3、In 2O 3和ZnO的纳米材料按照相应比例均匀共混,经球磨、铸浆和烧结等工艺制备成包含Pr 2S 3、In 2O 3和ZnO的靶材。
对比例
对比例的制备方法与应用例2中TFT的制备方法基本完全相同,不同的是,在对比例中,采用Pr 2O 3对有源层12进行掺杂,也即,有源层12的元素组成表示为(Pr 2O 3) x(In 5.2Zn 1.0O y) 1-x,其中,x和y与应用例2中相同。
实验例2
对以上应用例2和对比例所获得的TFT的转移特性曲线进行测试,测试 条件为NBIS条件,采用LED白光照射,栅偏压为-30V,测试时间分别对应距离栅偏压的施加时间0s、100s、600s、1200s和3600s的时间。测试结果如图6和图7所示。
由图6和图7比较可知,Pr 2O 3掺杂的TFT在NBIS下的阈值电压漂移量(ΔV th)为9.2V/小时,并通过计算得到迁移率为22.1cm 2/Vs。Pr 2S 3掺杂的TFT在NBIS下的阈值电压漂移量(ΔV th)为1.4V/小时,迁移率高达34.2cm 2/Vs。
由此可以得出,Pr 2S 3掺杂的TFT具有比Pr 2O 3掺杂的TFT更高的迁移率,同时具有更加明显以及更好的的NBIS稳定性。
实验例3
对以上应用例2制备的Pr 2S 3掺杂的半导体薄膜和对比例制备的Pr 2O 3掺杂的半导体薄膜进行吸收光谱测试,如图8所示,为Pr 2S 3掺杂的半导体薄膜和Pr 2O 3掺杂的半导体薄膜的吸收光谱的对比图。
由图8可知,Pr 2O 3掺杂的半导体薄膜的吸收光谱的吸收边在430nm左右,而Pr 2S 3掺杂的半导体薄膜的吸收光谱的吸收边大幅红移至500-600nm之间,说明S阴离子与Pr结合具有电子云扩大效应,能有效使f-d跃迁的吸收光谱红移至蓝光甚至绿光区域,从而大幅改善NBIS稳定性。
这里,需要说明的是,由于Pr和Tb的三价离子的E fd相近,因此,在相同的阴离子环境下,x的取值与所对应的NBIS下的阈值电压偏移量和电子迁移率具有相同的变化趋势。
应用例3
应用例3提供一种薄膜晶体管,该薄膜晶体管的制备方法的步骤1)和步骤2)与以上应用例1中的步骤1)和步骤2)基本相同,在此不再赘述。
不同的是,在步骤3)中,采用溶液法制备有源层12。并在制备好有源层12之后,采用蒸镀制备铝薄膜,再通过构图工艺形成源极15和漏极16。
其中,分别采用三种不同的稀土化合物(如NdBr 3、PrBr 3和PrCl 3)对半导体基质材料进行掺杂,制作三组不同稀土化合物(如NdBr 3、PrBr 3和PrCl 3)掺杂的TFT进行对比,在这三组TFT中,稀土化合物在稀土化合物与In 2O 3中的摩尔占比为x均相同。
这里,以稀土化合物为NdBr 3为例,采用溶液法制备有源层12的方法包括如下步骤:
(1)配制NdBr 3和In(NO 3) 3的溶液。
以溶液的总摩尔浓度为0.2mol/L,然后按照NdBr 3在NdBr 3与In 2O 3中的 摩尔占比为x计算出NdBr 3以及In(NO 3) 3的质量,并称重,采用去离子水作为溶剂,搅拌12h,得到NdBr 3和In(NO 3) 3的溶液。
(2)将NdBr 3和In(NO 3) 3的溶液旋涂在形成有栅极13和栅绝缘层14的衬底基板11上,旋涂过程分为两个阶段,第一阶段为低速旋涂,旋涂的转速可以为500rpm),时间可以为3s,第二阶段为高速旋涂,旋涂的转速可以为5000rpm,时间可以为40s。
(3)先进行前烘,在40℃烘20min;然后升温到90℃烘10min去除溶剂,再放入掩模板中进行紫外(UV)照射30min,然后用溶剂刻蚀,实现图案化,最后再进行高温退火(250℃烘1h)形成有源层12。
实验例4
对以上应用例3获得的TFT的转移特性曲线进行测试,测试条件为NBIS条件,采用LED白光照射,栅偏压为-30V。
在测试完成后,计算应用例3中的TFT在NBIS条件下的单位时间内的阈值电压漂移量(ΔV th)。计算结果如下表4所示。
表4
Figure PCTCN2021128260-appb-000004
由表4可知,在相同阴离子环境下以Pr作为阳离子的薄膜晶体管1要比以Nd作为阳离子的NBIS稳定性更好;而在相同的阳离子环境下,以Br作为阴离子的薄膜晶体管1要比以Cl作为阴离子的NBIS稳定性更好。这与前面的阳离子的E fd和阴离子电负性分析一致。
这里,需要说明的是,由于TFT的电子迁移率还与制备方法有关,因此,通过溶液法(制备有源层)制备的TFT的电子迁移率均普遍小于通过沉积(制备有源层)制备的TFT的电子迁移率,在此不对TFT的电子迁移率的取值进行阐述,在实际应用中,本领域技术人员可以根据需要选择合适的制备方法。
综上所述,通过在半导体基质材料中掺杂少量的稀土化合物,并对稀土化合物的阴离子进行选择,可以大幅降低负栅偏压光照应力下的阈值电压偏移量,提高TFT在NBIS下的光照稳定性,并能够保持较高的电子迁移率,解决了相关技术中金属氧化物半导体材料的电子迁移率和NBIS稳定性相互制约的问题。并通过实验发现,通过对稀土化合物的掺杂比例进行调节,可 以将薄膜晶体管在光照和-30V的栅压应力下的阈值电压漂移量控制在小于每小时3V,甚至大多数的薄膜晶体管在光照和-30V栅压应力下的阈值电压漂移量能达到小于每小时2V,具有良好的应用效果。
以上所述,仅为本公开的具体实施方式,但本公开的保护范围并不局限于此,任何熟悉本技术领域的技术人员在本公开揭露的技术范围内,想到变化或替换,都应涵盖在本公开的保护范围之内。因此,本公开的保护范围应以所述权利要求的保护范围为准。
