下面参考附图和可选的实施例对本申请作详细说明。
本申请公开了一种阵列基板,包括衬底基板和薄膜晶体管层,所述薄膜晶体管层设于所述衬底基板上;所述薄膜晶体管层包括有源层;所述阵列基板还包括遮挡层,所述遮挡层设于所述衬底基板和所述薄膜晶体管层之间,所述遮挡层设有凹槽,所述有源层至少部分伸入至所述凹槽内。其中,所述遮挡层在所述衬底基板的正投影完全覆盖所述有源层在衬底基板 的正投影,且所述遮挡层至少一部分的上表面的高度,高于所述有源层一部分的下表面的高度。
相对于显示面板中,有源层受到光照产生漏电流而导致薄膜晶体管稳定性差的方案来说,本申请通过让遮挡层形成凹槽,且有源层至少部分深入凹槽内的设计,使得在遮挡层的两侧的上表面高于有源层至少一部分的下表面,对有源层形成半包围结构,这样的话,遮挡层就可以从下方,以及侧面对有源层进行遮挡,即不仅仅可以遮挡层下方的光线,而且可以很好地阻挡从侧面入射的光线照射到有源层,通过一层遮挡层即达到了极好的遮光效果,避免薄膜晶体管的有源层受到光照而产生漏电流的问题,提高薄膜晶体管的工作稳定性,提高显示效果。
其中,该凹槽可以是遮挡层自身形成,例如遮挡层的某一位置厚度较其他位置薄,从而形成凹槽。当然,也可以通过其他方式形成该凹槽,例如在遮挡层下方先沉积一膜层,该膜层先形成以凹槽结构或者通槽结构,然后再沉积遮挡层,即可形成具有凹槽的遮挡层。
另外,本申请的遮挡层的设计,可以设置为液晶显示面板(LCD),也可以设置为有机发光二极管显示面板(OLED);可以设置为顶栅结构,也可以应设置为底栅结构。如下,以OLED以及顶栅结构为例,结合附图对本申请进行更具体地说明:
图1是本申请阵列基板的第一实施例的示意图,如图1所示,本实施例公开的阵列基板10包括衬底基板110和薄膜晶体管层200,所述薄膜晶体管层200设于所述衬底基板110上;所述薄膜晶体管层200包括有源层;所述遮挡层包括第一遮挡层11,所述薄膜晶体管层200包括驱动薄膜晶体管201,所述第一遮挡层11对应所述驱动薄膜晶体管201设置;所述凹槽包括第一凹槽111,所述第一凹槽111由所述第一遮挡层11形成,所述第一凹槽111包括凹槽底壁和两个凹槽侧壁,两个所述凹槽侧壁设于所述凹槽底壁的两侧,且所述凹槽底壁的两端分别和两个所述凹槽侧壁的下端连接;
所述有源层包括第一有源层15,所述第一有源层15位于所述驱动薄膜晶体管201内,所述第一有源层15至少部分伸入所述第一凹槽111内,且所述凹槽侧壁的上端的高度,大于所述第一有源层15对应所述凹槽底壁设置的部分的下表面的高度。
当然,所述凹槽侧壁上端的高度也可以大于所述第一有源层15对应所述第一凹槽111底部设置的部分的上表面的高度,甚至,当第一有源层15的宽度小于凹槽的宽度,并完全伸入凹槽内时,所述凹槽侧壁上端的高度可以高于整个第一有源层15的上表面的高度。
可选的,作为第一实施例的一种改进,如图1所示,为了更好更容易地形成凹槽,该遮挡层可以借助其他膜层完成凹槽的制备,具体的,阵列基板10还可以包括第一缓冲层13,所述第一缓冲层13设于所述衬底基板110和所述遮挡层之间,具体的,在衬底基板110和所述第一遮挡层11之间,所述第一缓冲层13设有第一缓冲槽131,所述第一遮挡层11的厚 度小于所述第一缓冲槽131的深度,且所述第一遮挡层11至少铺满所述第一缓冲槽131的底壁和侧壁以形成所述凹槽。第一缓冲层13以及第一缓冲槽131的存在,可以方便遮挡层沉积形成半包围有源层的凹槽。其中,第一缓冲槽131可以是第一缓冲层13下凹但不贯穿第一缓冲层13的凹槽结构,也可以是贯穿第一缓冲层13的通槽结构;若为凹槽结构,则第一缓冲槽131深度较浅,可以减少遮挡层以及其上的膜层断线的风险;若为通槽结构的话,第一缓冲槽131的深度更深,形成的凹槽的深度也更深,可以更好地从侧面对有源层进行遮光,改善斜射和折射的光线从侧面进入有源层而导致漏电流的问题。
当遮挡层采用黑矩阵等非金属材料制成,此时,有源层可以直接形成在遮挡层上。
当然为了减少不好的元素侵入有源层,例如遮挡层采用金属材料(例如采用钼(Mo)、钛(Ti)、银(Ag)、铝(Al)、钼铜(MoCu)合金、钼(Mo)和铝(Al)的叠层结构等金属材料制成时)制成时,作为第一实施例的一种改进,阵列基板10还包括第二缓冲层14,所述第二缓冲层14设于所述遮挡层和所述薄膜晶体管层200之间,具体的,在所述第一遮挡层11和所述薄膜晶体管层200之间;所述第二缓冲层14对应所述凹槽形成第二缓冲槽141,具体的,对应第一凹槽111形成第二缓冲槽141;
所述有源层铺满所述第二缓冲槽141的底壁和侧壁以形成有源层凹槽,所述有源层的宽度小于所述遮挡层的宽度,且所述有源层、所述第二缓冲层14和所述遮挡层的总厚度小于所述第一缓冲槽131的深度。当所述遮挡层采用金属材质制成时,所述第二缓冲层14可以阻挡金属离子扩散到有源层影响有源层的稳定性。
具体到第一遮挡层11位置,所述第一有源层15铺满所述第二缓冲槽141的底壁和侧壁以形成有源层凹槽151,所述第一有源层15的宽度小于所述第一遮挡层11的宽度,且所述第一有源层15、所述第二缓冲层14和所述第一遮挡层11的总厚度小于所述第一缓冲槽131的深度。
另外,作为本实施例的进一步改进,还可以考虑将第一缓冲槽131的槽壁为台阶形状,这样的话,可以在第一缓冲槽131的深度较深的情况下,也可以减少遮挡层以及其上的膜层发生断线的风险;另外,在遮挡层对应第一缓冲槽131形成凹槽的同时,该遮挡层本身也可以通过半透膜制备而使得对应凹槽位置处的膜厚比两侧的膜厚薄,以得到更深的凹槽以更好地对有源层形成半包围遮挡结构。
本申请的薄膜晶体管层200至少包括有驱动薄膜晶体管201,该驱动薄膜晶体管201的有源层可以采用非晶硅,多晶硅,也可以采用氧化铟锌等材料制成。如下以采用氧化铟锌材料制成的顶栅结构薄膜晶体管为例进行介绍,具体的:
图2是本申请阵列基板的第二实施例的示意图,如图2所示,结合图1可知,本实施例跟第一实施例的主要区别在于:薄膜晶体管层200包括驱动薄膜晶体管201,所述驱动薄膜 晶体管201包括所述第一有源层15,所述第一有源层15包括氧化铟镓锌层,所述驱动薄膜晶体管201还包括:栅极绝缘层17设置于氧化铟镓锌层上,栅极18设置于栅极绝缘层17上,层间介质层19设置在栅极18上,覆盖第二缓冲层122、氧化铟镓锌层、栅极绝缘层17以及栅极18,层间介质层19包括第一过孔20和第二过孔21以及第三过孔22,源极24和漏极25,设置于层间介质层19上,漏极25通过第一过孔20与氧化铟镓锌层相连接;源极24通过第二过孔21与氧化铟镓锌层相连接,并通过第三过孔22与第一遮挡层11相连接;以及钝化层26,设置在层间介质层19上,钝化层26上设置有阳极过孔29;平坦层27,设置在钝化层26上,平坦层27上设置有阳极28,阳极28通过阳极过孔29连接于源极24。氧化铟镓锌形成的氧化物有源层具有优越的柔韧性,也可以设置为柔性显示的领域。本实施例中,氧化铟镓锌作为有源层时,薄膜晶体管的输出端是源极,而输入端则是漏极,与一般情况下,源极作为输入端,漏极作为输出端的情况有所区别,这是本领域技术人员公知的常识,因而,不再赘述。
其中,所述遮挡层包括钛金属层、氮化钛层或叠层设置的钛金属层和氮化钛层,即所述遮挡层采用钛金属材料或氮化钛材料制成。此时,遮挡层不仅可以遮光,而且由于遮挡层采用金属材料制成,且与源极相连通,如此该遮挡层起到了辅助栅极的作用,即形成双栅结构,顶栅/有源层和底栅/有源层同时积累载流子,形成顶栅沟道和底栅沟道,可以增加载流子迁移率,可以具有更大的栅电容,能更有效地控制沟道表面势,可以抑制短沟道效应的产生,有利于制备小尺寸器件和实现高分辨率。
另外,有源层,特别是氧化铟镓锌作为有源层时,它的载流子(电子)主要通过氧空位产生,而氢元素的介入会产生一系列化学反应,最终占据氧空位并释放出更多的电子,从而导致氧化铟镓锌的载流子浓度变高,阈值电压产生负偏,使薄膜晶体管更容易开启;而氢的来源,主要是背板制备工艺中,使用到如硅烷(SiH4)这类含有氢的材料,导致膜层中有微量氢残留;有机材料中的氢;后端封装工艺可能使用氮化硅/氮氧化硅这类含氢量高的材料,由于氢的分子/原子/离子结构体积均很小,所以通常可以在各膜层中扩散、迁移。
因而,以钛为例,一方面,钛的晶体结构为密排六方晶系,这决定了钛膜层具有高致密性的特点,能够很大程度地阻隔氢渗透;另一方面钛对于氢有很好的吸附作用,即便有微量的氢可以进入钛内部,也会被捕获在晶格间隙位置,形成Ti-H的结构,因此氢很难透过Ti膜层而影响TFT器件。因而,采用钛金属材料或氮化钛材料制成的遮挡层,可以阻挡氢横向渗透进入有源层,利用铟镓锌氧化物(Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide,氧化铟镓锌)形成有源层的薄膜晶体管具有极小的漏电流,将氧化铟镓锌作为有源层可以有效降低薄膜晶体管的漏电流,进而提升显示面板的显示画质。
其中,第一缓冲层13和第二缓冲层14均可以包括SiOx层、AlO层或者叠层设置的SiOx 层和AlOx层,或者是采用硅氮氧化物(SiOxNy)制成。由于SiOx和AlOx均不含氢元素,因而,可以进一步减少膜层中的氢含量。当然,所述有源层包括氧化铟锌层,同时,所述遮挡层采用钛金属材料或氮化钛材料制成,所述第二缓冲层采用氧化硅(SiOx)材料或氧化铝(AlO)材料制成,由于遮挡层的材料也不含氢,可以达到更好的减少氢元素的效果。
另外,如图2所示,所述薄膜晶体管层200包括源极24,所述遮挡层还可以包括凹槽延伸部123,所述凹槽延伸部123与所述凹槽的侧壁连接(例如可以是和第一凹槽111的侧壁连接);
所述阵列基板10还包括设于所述第二缓冲层14上方的电容电极层23,所述电容电极层23与所述第一有源层15共用制程形成,所述凹槽延伸部123、所述电容电极层23和所述源极24均至少部分重叠,以形成存储电容。其中,所述源极可以是驱动薄膜晶体管201的源极,也可以是开关薄膜晶体管的开关源极,该遮挡层、电容电极层以及源极三层结构形成叠层的电容电极层23,不仅减少了光罩制程,提高了生产效率,而且,可以利用更小的面积形成更大容量的电容,增大电容的同时,增加产品的开口率,更有利于实现高分辨率。
图3是本申请阵列基板的第三实施例的示意图,如图3所示,本实施例是基于第一和第二实施例的改进,为了更好地实现开关性能,阵列基板10上,除了驱动薄膜晶体管201之外,还可以设置有其他的薄膜晶体管,其他的薄膜晶体管的数量不定,如下以数量为1个为例进行介绍,即:所述薄膜晶体管层200还包括开关薄膜晶体管202,所述遮挡层包括第二遮挡层12,所述第二遮挡层12对应所述开关薄膜晶体管201设置;所述凹槽包括第二凹槽121,所述第二凹槽121由所述第二遮挡层12形成,所述第二凹槽121包括两个第二凹槽侧壁,两个所述第二凹槽侧壁间隔设置,且两个所述第二凹槽侧壁之间镂空形成镂空部122;
所述有源层包括第二有源层16,所述第二有源层16位于所述开关薄膜晶体管202内,所述第二有源层16至少部分伸入所述第二凹槽121内,且所述第二凹槽121的侧壁上端的高度,大于所述第二有源层16对应所述镂空部122设置的部分的下表面的高度。同理于第一实施例,该开关薄膜晶体管202也可以设置第一缓冲层,或第一缓冲层和同时设置第二缓冲层,具体结构参考第一实施例,不再赘述。
两种不同的薄膜晶体管,可以根据不同的搭配满足不同的驱动需求,例如,以OLED为例,驱动薄膜晶体管201和开关薄膜晶体管202可以进行分工,以达到需求的充电效果。
为了节省制程,提高生产效果,该驱动薄膜晶体管201和开关薄膜晶体管202,可以通过共用制程形成,具体如下:
如图3所示,所述开关薄膜晶体管202和所述驱动薄膜晶体管201通过共用制程形成,这里的共用制程指的是开关薄膜晶体管202的至少一部分膜层与驱动薄膜晶体管201的一部分膜层通过共用制程形成,开关薄膜晶体管202包括第二有源层16、开关绝缘层30、开关 栅极31、开关源极32和开关漏极33,所述第二有源层16包括开关氧化铟镓锌层,所述开关氧化铟镓锌层设置于第二缓冲层14上,所述开关氧化铟镓锌层与氧化铟镓锌层共用制程形成,所述开关绝缘层30设置于开关氧化铟镓锌层上,所述开关绝缘层30与栅极绝缘层17同层设置;所述开关栅极31形成在开关绝缘层30上,所述开关栅极31与栅极18通过共用制程形成;所述开关源极32和开关漏极33相对设置在层间介质层19上,所述层间介质层19还包括第四过孔34和第五过孔35,所述开关源极32通过第四过孔34与开关氧化铟镓锌层相连接;开关漏极33通过第五过孔35与开关氧化铟镓锌层相连接;第一缓冲层13还包括第一开关缓冲槽132,开关薄膜晶体管202对应第一开关缓冲槽132设置;在第一缓冲层121和第二缓冲层122之间,对应第一开关缓冲槽132处设置有第二遮挡层12,第二遮挡层12与第一遮挡层11通过共用制程形成;在第二缓冲层13上设置有第二开关缓冲槽142,所述第二开关缓冲槽142对应第一开关缓冲槽132设置。
其中,开关薄膜晶体管202的开关栅极31与扫描线(SL)相连,开关漏极33与数据线(DL)相连,开关源极32与驱动薄膜晶体管201的栅极18相连。驱动薄膜晶体管201的漏极25与参考电压端相连,这样的话,开关薄膜晶体管202就可以通过控制驱动薄膜晶体管201的栅极处的电压,调节阳极电压。
图4是本申请实施例一种显示面板的示意图,如图4所示,本申请还公开了一种显示面板,包括阵列基板10和印刷电路板300,所述印刷电路板300绑定连接于所述阵列基板10,所述阵列基板10采用本申请公开的任意一种所述的阵列基板10。
其中,当显示面板100为液晶显示面板,显示面板100还包括与阵列基板10相对设置的彩膜基板以及设置于阵列基板10和彩膜基板之间的液晶层。当显示面板100为有机发光二极管显示面板,显示面板还包括设置于阵列基板10上的发光器件层,发光器件层通过喷墨打印或蒸镀工艺沉积形成,发光器件层包括依次层叠设置的阳极、空穴注入层、空穴传输层、发光层、电子传输层以及电子注入层等,发光层包括红色发光层、绿色发光层以及蓝色发光层。
图5是本申请阵列基板的制备方法的第一实施例的示意图,如图5所示,本申请还公开了一种阵列基板的制备方法,设置为制备本申请公开的任意一种所述的阵列基板,所述制备方法包括步骤:
S1:设置一衬底基板,在所述衬底基板上沉积并蚀刻形成所述遮挡层,所述遮挡层形成所述凹槽;
S2:在所述遮挡层上制作薄膜晶体管层,形成的所述薄膜晶体管层的有源层至少部分伸入所述凹槽内。其中,该凹槽可以是遮挡层自己本身通过调节膜厚等方式来实现,可以是借助其他膜层来实现。
图6是本申请阵列基板的制备方法的第二实施例的示意图,如图6所示,例如,所述设置一衬底基板,在所述衬底基板上沉积并蚀刻形成所述遮挡层,所述遮挡层形成所述凹槽的步骤S1包括:
S11:在所述衬底基板上沉积第一缓冲层,在所述第一缓冲层上蚀刻出第一缓冲槽;
S12:在所述第一缓冲层上沉积所述遮挡层,所述遮挡层铺满所述第一缓冲槽的底壁和侧壁以形成所述凹槽;
所述在所述遮挡层上制作薄膜晶体管层,所述薄膜晶体管层的有源层至少部分伸入所述凹槽内的步骤S2包括:
S21:在所述遮挡层上沉积第二缓冲层,所述第二缓冲层覆盖所述遮挡层,并对应所述凹槽内形成第二缓冲槽;
S22:在所述第二缓冲层上,且对应所述遮挡层的上方制作所述薄膜晶体管层,形成的所述薄膜晶体管层的所述有源层铺满所述第二缓冲槽的底壁和侧壁以形成有源层凹槽,且形成的所述有源层、所述第二缓冲层和所述遮挡层的总厚度小于所述第一缓冲槽的深度。
其中,在不需要第二缓冲层时,也可以不要该步骤S21,例如,遮挡层是采用黑矩阵等非金属材料制成时;另外,除了第一缓冲层辅助形成凹槽的方式以外,也可以通过遮挡层膜厚和其他膜层辅助同时实现,即遮挡层对应第一缓冲槽的位置形成凹槽,且对应凹槽位置,遮挡层的厚度比其他位置的厚度薄,从而得到深度更深的凹槽。
图7是本申请阵列基板的制备方法的第三实施例的示意图,如图7所示,本申请还公开了一种阵列基板的制备方法,阵列基板划分为驱动薄膜晶体管区域和开关薄膜晶体管区域,包括以下步骤:
S111:在具有第一缓冲槽和第二缓冲槽的第一缓冲层上沉积遮挡层材料,蚀刻遮挡层材料,形成对应第一缓冲槽设置的第一遮挡层,形成的遮挡层铺满第一缓冲槽的底壁和侧壁以形成第一凹槽,并突出于第一缓冲槽,延伸至第一缓冲层的上表面形成凹槽延伸部;同时,形成对应第二缓冲槽的第二遮挡层,形成的第二遮挡层至少覆盖第二凹槽的侧壁,且对应第二缓冲槽的槽底镂空以形成第二凹槽;
S112:在第一遮挡层和第二遮挡层上沉积第二缓冲层材料,蚀刻第二缓冲层材料,形成覆盖第一缓冲层、第一凹槽、第二凹槽的第二缓冲层,且形成的第二缓冲层和第一遮挡层的总厚度小于第一缓冲槽的深度,即第一凹槽和第二凹槽的侧壁上端的高度,大于第二缓冲层对应第一凹槽和第二凹槽位置处的上表面的高度;
S113:在第二缓冲层上沉积氧化铟镓锌材料,蚀刻得到对应第一凹槽设置的氧化铟镓锌层,以及对应第二凹槽设置的开关氧化铟镓锌层;

S115:在栅极绝缘层和开关绝缘层上沉积层间介质层材料,蚀刻形成层间介质层,形成的层间介质层,对应氧化铟镓锌层的两端形成有第一过孔和第二过孔,对应延伸部设置有第三过孔,对应开关氧化铟镓锌层的两端设置有第四过孔和第五过孔;
