相关技术的氧化物薄膜晶体管的有源层通常为单层高迁移率氧化物材料,例如单层铟镓锌氧化物(IGZO),这种结构利用源漏(S/D)刻蚀液在湿法刻蚀形成源漏(S/D)极时会存在沟道的背离基板且靠近源漏层的一侧(称为背沟道)被S/D刻蚀液侵蚀的情况。例如,如图1A所示,相关技术中的薄膜晶体管可以包括基板100、在基板100上依次形成的栅极101、栅极绝缘层102、有源层103、源极105、漏极106、以及覆盖源极105和漏极106的钝化层107。
图1A所示的薄膜晶体管中,有源层103的沟道实际与栅极绝缘层102与钝化层107相接触,由于S/D刻蚀液对例如单层IGZO的氧化物材料的有源层103的损伤较大,以至于在背沟道形成大量缺陷,导致器件稳定性显著降低,严重影响器件特性,而实际沟道与栅极绝缘层或者钝化层接触时会存在一定的界面缺陷,这部分缺陷也会降低稳定性。为了解决这一问题,相关技术会在单层氧化物有源层的基础上,增加氧化物材料的刻蚀阻挡层1001,如图1B所示,在不增加掩膜工艺的情况下,可以提高器件稳定性。但是相关技术的方案一般会采用结晶化的氧化物作为刻蚀阻挡层1001对沟道进行保护,刻蚀阻挡层1001的导带底E CBM与实际沟道材料的导带底E CBM之间的差异较小,通常两者的差值在0.2eV以内,这会使得沟道内部一定量的载流子1000依然会迁移至背沟道,即迁移到蚀刻阻挡层的远离半导体层的一侧,进而被背沟道缺陷捕获,造成稳定性降低。
在本申请的说明书中,导带(conduction band)是由自由电子形成的能量空间,即固体结构内自由运动的电子所具有的能量范围;符号CBM表示导带最低点(CBM);E CBM表示导带底距离真空能级Evac的能量值,真空能级Evac为0eV;半导体最重要的能带就是价带顶(VBM)和导带底(CBM)。CBM减去VBM就是禁带宽度(带隙,能隙)。
在相关技术中,可以利用结晶IGZO(例如IGZO(136),薄膜中In:Ga:Zn的原子比为1:3:6)材料来制备蚀刻阻挡层1001,其E CBM距离真空能级Evac的距离测试为4.3eV,例如利用非晶IGZO(例如IGZO(111),薄膜中In:Ga:Zn的原子比为1:1:1)材料来制备薄膜晶体管的半导体层,即沟槽层,其E CBM距离Evac距离测试为4.48eV,因此二者E CBM的差值<0.2eV,从而使得源漏图案形成过程中易在有源层背沟道处形成大量背沟道缺陷,背沟道缺陷会使得器件工作时捕获大量载流子1000,导致器件稳定性降低。
即,在相关技术中,构成有源层的第一半导体层的第一材料Oxide1(例如IGZO(111))和第二半导体层的第二材料Oxide2(例如IGZO(136))二者的导带底之间的能级差值的绝对值小于0.2eV,即|E CBMOxide1-E CBMOxide2|<0.2eV。例如Oxide1为IGZO(111),Oxide2为IGZO(136),两者导带底差值在0.2eV以内,无法有效阻止电子的迁移。
为了解决上述技术问题,本申请实施例提供了一种薄膜晶体管及其制备方法。
如图2所示,本公开的薄膜晶体管包括例如由玻璃制备的基板100以及在基板100上依次形成的栅极101、栅极绝缘层102、包括第一半导体层103和第二半导体层104的有源层、源极105、漏极106和钝化层107。
如图2所示,本公开的薄膜晶体管的第一半导体层103和第二半导体层104叠置形成了有源层。第一半导体层103作为有源层中主要用于形成沟道的部分,其通常采用高迁移率氧化物的材料,其设置在栅极绝缘层102和第二半导体层104之间。例如,可以采用金属氧化物材料形成第一半导体层103,其导带底E CBM范围为4.4eV至5.2eV,带隙Eg在2.0eV至3.2eV,载流子浓度在5*E19数量级以内。第二半导体层104设置在第一半导体层103的远离栅极101一侧。在本实施例的薄膜晶体管中,如上所述,期望载流子处于第一半导体层103中,使得在薄膜晶体管工作时第一半导体层103作为沟道层而在源极105和漏极106之间传输载流子;而第二半导体层104的主要作用为界面匹配和刻蚀保护,起到蚀刻阻挡层的作用。
具体地,在本公开中,所述第一半导体层103的第一材料的导带底与所述第二半导体层104的第二材料的导带底的差值的绝对值大于0.2eV。
在一个实施例中,第一半导体层103和第二半导体层104均为氧化物半导体层。第一半导体层103的第一氧化物材料Oxide1和第二半导体层104的第二氧化物材料Oxide2应当满足(E CBMOxide1-E CBMOxide2)的绝对值>0.2eV,进一步可以大于0.3eV。
第一半导体层103的材料例如可以为相关技术中作为半导体层材料的IGZO,而第二半导体层104的材料例如可以采用GZO,其主要作用为刻蚀阻挡层。在这种情况下,可以确保(E CBMOxide1-E CBMOxide2)的绝对值大于0.4eV,此时可以使得第一半导体层103中的绝大部分载流子被阻挡而无法迁移至背沟道,进而无法被背沟道所俘获,提高了薄膜晶体管的稳定性。
具体地,所述第一半导体层103的材料可以包括IGZO,IZO,IGTO、ITZO和IGZTO中的至少一种,这些材料均具有较高的电子迁移率;所述第二半导体层104的材料可以包括GZO和Pr-GZO(GZO中掺入一定量Pr(镨元素))中的至少一种,这些材料均具有较高的导带底。具体地,这些材料的导带底E CBM如下:IGZO(111)=4.48eV,IZO(31)(薄膜中In:Zn的原子比为3:1)=5.2eV,IZO(11)(薄膜中In:Zn的原子比为1:1)=4.9eV,GZO(73)(薄膜中Ga:Zn的原子比为7:3)=4.05eV,GZO(37)(薄膜中Ga:Zn的原子比为3:7)=4.08eV。
在该实施例中,可以采用一次构图工艺同时形成第一半导体层103和第二半导体层104的图案。例如,可以在基板100上依次形成第一氧化物材料层和第二氧化物材料层,然后利用同一个掩膜版通过一次构图工艺(包括涂覆光刻胶、曝光、显影、刻蚀)来同时形成第一半导体层103和第二半导体层104的图案,如此形成的第一半导体层103和第二半导体层104的图案在基板100上的正投影大致完全重叠。
图3示出了薄膜晶体管的第一半导体层103包括IGZO和第二半导体层104包括GZO时各层的能级图关系。IGZO的第一半导体层103的带隙Eg1例如为3eV,GZO的第二半导体层104的带隙Eg2例如为4.03eV,IGZO的第一半导体层103 的导带底小于GZO的第二半导体层104的导带底,二者之间的导带底之间的差值的绝对值为ΔEcm。在第一半导体层103采用非晶IGZO(例如IGZO(111))而第二半导体层104采用GZO时,二者之间的ΔEcm的绝对值约为0.43eV,即,|E CBMIGZO-E CBMGZO|≈0.43eV。
在相关技术中,薄膜晶体管的有源层包括非晶IGZO(例如IGZO(111))和结晶IGZO(例如IGZO(136)),非晶IGZO(例如IGZO(111))和结晶IGZO(例如IGZO(136))二者的导带底相差在0.2eV内,因此无法有效阻挡电子的迁移。相对于相关技术,本公开的薄膜晶体管的有源层取代相关技术中的结晶IGZO,采用了例如高导带材料的GZO作为刻蚀阻挡层的材料设置在第一半导体层103的远离栅极101的一侧,其中,|E CBMOxide1-E CBMOxide2|>0.3eV,这种情况下可以使得底沟道绝大部分载流子被阻挡即无法迁移至背沟道,进而无法被背沟道缺陷所捕获,提高TFT稳定性。
图4和图5分别示出了模拟的沟道载流子浓度、背沟道电荷数量与第一半导体层和第二半导体层的材料之间的导带底能级差值(简称为导带差值)的关系的示意图。
具体地,图4示出了作为叠层沟道的有源层中各个位置的载流子浓度的模拟图,其中横坐标表示有源层距离栅极绝缘层102的距离,纵坐标表示载流子浓度大小。在叠层沟道为N型沟道时,载流子为电子。第二半导体层104的第二氧化物材料Oxide2的导带底E CBM较大程度的大于第一半导体层103的第一氧化物材料Oxide1的导带底E CBM,使得第一氧化物材料Oxide1中的载流子需克服两者的较大的势能后才能进行迁移,提高了载流子向第二氧化物材料Oxide2中迁移的难度。如下图所示,当(E CBMOxide1-E CBMOxide2的绝对值)(|E CBMOxide1-E CBMOxide2|)<0.2eV时,背沟道载流子浓度在1.0E11/cm 3数量级左右,这样数量级的背沟道载流子会使得稳定性降低,但如果进一步提升导带差异,如|E CBMOxide1-E CBMOxide2|>0.3eV时,背沟道载流子浓度降低至1.0E8/cm 3数量级;进一步提升|E CBMOxide1-E CBMOxide2|>0.4eV时,背沟道载流子浓度降低至1.0E6/cm 3数量级,相较前沟道(即第一半导体层103)中的载 流子浓度1.0E16/cm 3数量级,降低了10个数量级,从而显著提高器件稳定性。
在本公开中,薄膜晶体管正常工作状态下的载流子浓度为第一半导体层内部载流子浓度。例如,第一半导体层103的载流子浓度值一般在1*E15/cm 3至1*E19/cm 3之间。在本公开实施例中,将第一半导体层103的第一氧化物材料Oxide1和第二半导体层104的第二氧化物材料Oxide2两种材料的导带底之间的差值绝对值设置为0.2eV及以上,可以将背沟道载流子浓度降低至1*E11/cm 3~1*E1/cm 3范围内。
图5以第一半导体层103由非晶IGZO(例如IGZO(111))制备而第二半导体层104由一种氧化物材料(标识为IGZOX)制备为例进行说明。由图5可以见,当第一半导体层的材料和第二半导体层的材料二者的导带差值在0.2eV时,背沟道载流子数量约在1*E11数量级;当导带差值大于0.3eV时,背沟道电荷数量约在1*E9数量级,降低两个数量级;进一步,当导带差值到达0.4eV,背沟道电荷数量约在1*E7数量级,又降低两个数量级。
由以上可以看出,在本公开的薄膜晶体管中,第一半导体层103的第一氧化物材料Oxide1的导带底与第二半导体层104的第二氧化物材料Oxide2的导带底之间的差值大于0.2eV时,背沟道载流子浓度显著降低。进一步增大第一半导体层103的第一氧化物材料Oxide1的导带底与第二半导体层104的第二氧化物材料Oxide2的导带底之间的差值,可以进一步减小背沟道载流子浓度,从而可以显著提升氧化物薄膜晶体管的稳定性。
图6A示出了根据本公开实施例的薄膜晶体管的示意图。该薄膜晶体管可以包括基板100以及在基板100上依次形成的栅极101、栅极绝缘层102、包括第一半导体层103和第二半导体层104的有源层、源极105、漏极106和钝化层107。在该实施例中,有源层包括依次叠置的第一半导体层103、第二半导体层104和第三半导体层108,第二半导体层104设置在第一半导体层103的远离栅极101的一侧,而第三半导体层108设置在第二半导体层104的远离栅极101的一侧。
与图2所示的实施例相同,在该实施例中,第一半导体层103作为有源层 中主要用于形成沟道的部分,其通常采用高迁移率的氧化物材料;第二半导体层104采用高导带底的氧化物材料。例如,第一半导体层103的第一氧化物材料Oxide1为常规沟道材料,如IGZO、IGTO、IZO、ITZO、IGZTO等,第二半导体层104的第二氧化物材料Oxide2为GZO、Pr-GZO等。与图2所示的实施例不同,该实施例的薄膜晶体管的有源层还包括了设置在主要用作刻蚀阻挡层的第二半导体层104的远离栅极101一侧的第三半导体层108。第三半导体层108的材料可以为第三氧化物材料Oxide3。例如,第三氧化物材料可以为结晶氧化物材料,如IGZO(136)等。在该实施例中,有源层的第一氧化物材料Oxide1、第二氧化物材料Oxide2和第三氧化物材料Oxide3的导带底E CBM的能级关系可以设置为:|E CBMOxide1-E CBMOxide2|>0.2eV,为了进一步提升薄膜晶体管的性能,可以使得|E CBMOxide1-E CBMOxide2|>0.3eV;而第二氧化物材料Oxide2和第三氧化物材料Oxide3的导带底的能级关系可以设置为:
|E CBMOxide3|>|E CBMOxide2|(即,第三氧化物材料的导带底的绝对值大于第二氧化物材料的导带底的绝对值)。
图6A所示的实施例的薄膜晶体管在有源层的远离栅极101的一侧又增设了一层结晶氧化物层,用以提升物理阻挡特性防止临近的膜层或工艺中的H和O影响半导体层。通过该种叠层沟道设计,可以显著提升高迁移率氧化物薄膜晶体管稳定性。
图6B示出了根据本公开实施例的薄膜晶体管的示意图。该薄膜晶体管可以包括基板100以及在基板100上依次形成的栅极101、栅极绝缘层102、包括第一半导体层103、第二半导体层104和第四半导体层110的有源层、源极105、漏极106和钝化层107。在该实施例中,有源层包括依次叠置在栅极绝缘层102上的第四半导体层110、第一半导体层103和第二半导体层104,第二半导体层104设置在第一半导体层103的远离栅极101的一侧,而第四半导体层110设置在第一半导体层103的靠近栅极101的一侧。
与图2所示的实施例相同,在该实施例中,第一半导体层103作为有源层中主要用于形成沟道的部分,其通常采用高迁移率的氧化物材料;第二半导体 层104采用高导带底的氧化物材料。例如,第一半导体层103的第一氧化物材料Oxide1为常规沟道材料,如IGZO、IGTO、IZO、ITZO、IGZTO等,第二半导体层104的第二氧化物材料Oxide2为GZO、Pr-GZO等。与图2所示的实施例不同,该实施例的薄膜晶体管的有源层还包括了设置在主要用作载流子通道的第一半导体层103的靠近栅极101一侧的第四半导体层110,即,在该实施例中,有源层包括了分别设置在第一半导体层103两侧的第二半导体层104和第四半导体层110。第四半导体层110的材料可以与第二半导体层104的材料相同,为第二氧化物材料Oxide2。例如,在该实施例中,有源层的第一氧化物材料Oxide1和第二氧化物材料Oxide2的导带底E CBM的能级关系可以设置为:|E CBMOxide1-E CBMOxide2|>0.2eV,为了进一步提升薄膜晶体管的性能,可以使得|E CBMOxide1-E CBMOxide2|>0.3eV。
类似地,为了进一步提升器件性能,还可以在图6B所示的薄膜晶体管的有源层的第二半导体层104上进一步设置第三半导体层108,如图6C所示,如上所述,在该实施例中,第三半导体层108的材料可以为第三氧化物材料Oxide3。例如,第三氧化物材料可以为结晶氧化物材料,如IGZO(136)等。在该实施例中,有源层的第一氧化物材料Oxide1、第二氧化物材料Oxide2和第三氧化物材料Oxide3的导带底E CBM的能级关系可以设置为:|E CBMOxide1-E CBMOxide2|>0.2eV,为了进一步提升薄膜晶体管的性能,可以使得|E CBMOxide1-E CBMOxide2|>0.3eV;而第二氧化物材料Oxide2和第三氧化物材料Oxide3的导带底的能级关系可以设置为:
|E CBMOxide3|>|E CBMOxide2|。
以上实施例以薄膜晶体管为底栅型晶体管对本公开进行了描述,本公开不限于此。图7示出了根据本公开实施例的薄膜晶体管为顶栅型薄膜晶体管的结构示意图。
图7所示的薄膜晶体管包括例如由玻璃制备的基板100以及在基板100上依次形成的缓冲层200、第二半导体层104、第一半导体层103、栅极绝缘层102、栅极101、层间介电层109、源极105、漏极106和钝化层107。
在该顶栅型薄膜晶体管中,与图2所示的实施例类似,有源层包括第一半导体层103和第二半导体层104,第二半导体层104设置在第一半导体层103的远离栅极101一侧。与图2所示的实施例相同,第一半导体层103作为有源层中主要用于形成沟道承载载流子从而实现薄膜晶体管导通的部分,其通常采用高迁移率氧化物的材料,其设置在栅极绝缘层102和第二半导体层104之间,例如,可以采用IGZO形成第一半导体层103,其导带底E CBM范围为4.4eV至5.2eV,带隙Eg在2.0eV至3.2eV,载流子浓度在5*E19数量级以内。第二半导体层104设置在第一半导体层103的远离栅极101一侧。在本实施例的薄膜晶体管中,如上所述,期望载流子处于第一半导体层103中,使得在薄膜晶体管工作时第一半导体层103作为沟道来在源极105和漏极106之间传输载流子;而第二半导体层104的主要作用为界面匹配和刻蚀保护,起到蚀刻阻挡层的作用。
具体地,在本公开中,所述第一半导体层103的第一材料的导带底与所述第二半导体层104的第二材料的导带底的差值的绝对值大于0.2eV。
在一个实施例中,第一半导体层103和第二半导体层104均为氧化物半导体层。第一半导体层103的第一氧化物材料Oxide1和第二半导体层104的第二氧化物材料Oxide2应当满足(E CBMOxide1-E CBMOxide2)的绝对值>0.2eV,进一步可以大于0.3eV。
第一半导体层103的材料例如可以为相关技术中作为半导体层材料的IGZO,而第二半导体层104的材料例如可以采用GZO,其主要作用为刻蚀阻挡层。在这种情况下,可以确保(E CBMOxide1-E CBMOxide2)的差值的绝对值大于0.4eV,此时可以使得第一半导体层103中的绝大部分载流子被阻挡而无法迁移至背沟道,进而无法被背沟道所俘获,提高了薄膜晶体管的稳定性。
具体地,所述第一半导体层103的材料可以包括IGZO,IZO,IGTO和IGZTO中的至少一种,这些材料均具有较高的电子迁移率;所述第二半导体层104的材料可以包括GZO和Pr-GZO(GZO中掺入一定量Pr(镨元素))中的至少一种,这些材料均具有较高的导带底。具体地,这些材料的导带底E CBM如下::IGZO (111)=4.48eV,IZO(31)=5.2eV,IZO(11)=4.9eV,GZO(73)=4.05eV,GZO(37)=4.08eV。
在该实施例中,源极105和漏极106分别通过延伸穿过层间介电层109的两个过孔与第一半导体层103的未被栅极101和栅极绝缘层102覆盖的两端电连接。在该实施例中,可以采用单个构图工艺同时形成第二半导体层104和第一半导体层103的图案。例如,可以在基板100上的缓冲层200上依次形成第二氧化物材料层和第一氧化物材料层,然后通过利用同一个掩膜版的同一构图工艺(包括涂覆光刻胶、曝光、显影、刻蚀)来同时形成第二半导体层104和第一半导体层103的图案,如此形成的第一半导体层103和第二半导体层104的图案在基板100上的正投影大致完全重叠。类似地,也可以利用同一掩膜版通过同一构图工艺同时形成栅极101和栅极绝缘层102的图案。
本公开的另一方面还提供了制备薄膜晶体管的方法。图8示出了根据本公开的薄膜晶体管的制备方法的各个步骤所形成的结构的流程图。具体地,如图9所示,本公开的薄膜晶体管的制备方法的流程图包括步骤S101至S104。
在步骤S101,如图8的(a),在例如玻璃的基板100上形成栅极101的图案;然后在形成的栅极101的图案上形成栅极绝缘层102。
在步骤S102,如图8的(b),在栅极绝缘层102上形成第一半导体层103和第二半导体层104的图案。例如,首先在栅极绝缘层102上依次形成第一氧化物材料层和第二氧化物材料层,然后利用同一掩膜通过同一构图工艺同时形成第一半导体层103和第二半导体层104的图案,具体地,例如在第二氧化物材料层上涂覆光刻胶,然后曝光、显影和蚀刻,同时形成第一半导体层103和第二半导体层104。本公开对此不进行限定,只要所形成的第一半导体层103的第一氧化物材料Oxide1和第二半导体层104的第二氧化物材料Oxide2满足(E CBMOxide1-E CBMOxide2)的绝对值>0.2eV即可,从而使得第一半导体层103中的绝大部分载流子被阻挡而无法迁移至背沟道,进而无法被背沟道所俘获,提高了薄膜晶体管的稳定性。在该步骤中,采用了同一掩膜通过同一构图工艺同时形成了第一半导体层103和第二半导体层104的图案,因此可以在不增加 掩膜的情况下提高器件的稳定性。
如上所述,所述第一半导体层103的材料可以包括IGZO,IZO,IGTO和IGZTO中的至少一种,这些材料均具有较高的电子迁移率;所述第二半导体层104的材料可以包括GZO和Pr-GZO(GZO中掺入一定量Pr(镨元素))中的至少一种,这些材料均具有较高的导带底。具体地,这些材料的导带底E CBM如下::IGZO(111)=4.48eV,IZO(31)=5.2eV,IZO(11)=4.9eV,GZO(73)=4.05eV,GZO(37)=4.08eV。
在步骤S103,在栅极绝缘层102上第一半导体层103和第二半导体层104的图案上形成源漏材料层,利用蚀刻液对源漏材料层进行湿法蚀刻以在第一半导体层103两侧分别形成源极105和漏极106。作为刻蚀阻挡层的第二半导体层104此步骤中可以保护第一半导体层103的材料不会受到蚀刻液的损伤。
如图8的(c)所示,在该步骤中形成的源极105和漏极106同时覆盖了第一半导体层103和第二半导体层104的两端,但是如上所述,在本公开中,在薄膜晶体管工作时,只有第一半导体层103作为有效的载流子通道使得薄膜晶体管导通,而第二半导体层104主要用作蚀刻阻挡层,并且起到界面匹配的作用,以将有效载流子尽量限制在第一半导体层103中,阻挡载流子迁移到第二半导体层104中。
在步骤S104,在所形成的结构上形成钝化层107对薄膜晶体管进行保护。
在本公开的一个实施例中,对于图6所示的有源层包括第一半导体层103、第二半导体层104和第三半导体层108的薄膜晶体管,制备方法包括步骤S201至S204。
在步骤S201,在例如玻璃的基板100上形成栅极101的图案;然后在形成的栅极101的图案上形成栅极绝缘层102。
在步骤S202,在栅极绝缘层102上形成第一半导体层103、第二半导体层104和第三半导体层108的图案。例如,首先在栅极绝缘层102上依次形成第一氧化物材料层、第二氧化物材料层和第三氧化物材料层,然后利用同一掩膜通过同一构图工艺同时形成第一半导体层103、第二半导体层104和第三半导体层 108的图案,具体地,例如在第三氧化物材料层上涂覆光刻胶,然后曝光、显影和蚀刻,同时形成第一半导体层103、第二半导体层104和第三半导体层108。如上所述,第三半导体层108的材料可以为第三氧化物材料Oxide3。例如,第三氧化物材料可以为结晶氧化物材料,如IGZO(136)等。在该实施例中,有源层的第一氧化物材料Oxide1、第二氧化物材料Oxide2和第三氧化物材料Oxide3的导带底E CBM的能级关系可以设置为:|E CBMOxide1-E CBMOxide2|>0.2eV,为了进一步提升薄膜晶体管的性能,可以使得|E CBMOxide1-E CBMOxide2|>0.3eV;而第二氧化物材料Oxide2和第三氧化物材料Oxide3的导带底的能级关系可以设置为:|E CBMOxide3|>|E CBMOxide2|。通过这些设置,可以使得第一半导体层103中的绝大部分载流子被阻挡而无法迁移至背沟道,进而无法被背沟道所俘获,提高了薄膜晶体管的稳定性。在该步骤中,采用了同一掩膜通过同一构图工艺同时形成了第一半导体层103、第二半导体层104和第三半导体层108的图案,因此可以在不增加掩膜的情况下提高器件的稳定性。
在步骤S203,在栅极绝缘层102上第一半导体层103、第二半导体层104和第三半导体层108的图案上形成源漏材料层,利用蚀刻液对源漏材料层进行湿法蚀刻以在第一半导体层103两侧分别形成源极105和漏极106。作为刻蚀阻挡层的第二半导体层104此步骤中可以保护第一半导体层103的材料不会受到蚀刻液的损伤。
在步骤S204,在所形成的结构上形成钝化层107对薄膜晶体管进行保护。
在本公开的一个实施例中,对于图7所示的有源层包括第一半导体层103和第二半导体层104的顶栅型薄膜晶体管而言,制备方法包括步骤S301至S305。
在步骤S301,在基板100上依次形成缓冲层200、第二材料层、第一材料层、栅极绝缘材料层和栅极材料层;利用同一第一掩膜板通过同一构图工艺形成栅极101和栅极绝缘层102的图案;然后利用同一第二掩膜板通过同一构图工艺形成第一半导体层103和第二半导体层104。如图7所示,为了保留对源极105和漏极106接触位置,第一半导体层103和第二半导体层104在基板100上的正投影面积大于栅极101和栅极绝缘层102在基板100上的正投影面积。
在步骤S302,在栅极101的远离基板100的一侧形成层间介电层109。
在步骤S303,在层间介电层109中对应于第一半导体层103的两端位置分别形成第一通孔和第二通孔。
在步骤S304,在第一通孔和第二通孔中分别填充源漏极材料,从而分别形成源极和漏极。
在步骤S305,在源极和漏极上形成钝化层。
在本公开的薄膜晶体管中,有源层包括第一半导体层103和第二半导体层104,第一半导体层103和第二半导体层104均为氧化物半导体层。第一半导体层103的第一氧化物材料Oxide1和第二半导体层104的第二氧化物材料Oxide2应当满足(E CBMOxide1-E CBMOxide2)的绝对值>0.2eV,进一步可以大于0.3eV。第一半导体层103的材料例如可以为相关技术中作为半导体层材料的IGZO,而第二半导体层104的材料例如可以采用GZO,其主要作用为刻蚀阻挡层。在这种情况下,可以确保(E CBMOxide1-E CBMOxide2)的差值的绝对值大于0.4eV,此时可以使得第一半导体层103中的绝大部分载流子被阻挡而无法迁移至背沟道,进而无法被背沟道所俘获,提高了薄膜晶体管的稳定性。
