如图2所示,所述第二欧姆接触结构22靠近所述第一凸台23的一侧表面与所述第一凸台23的所述第二表面232完全重叠。所述第二欧姆接触结构22靠近所述半导体结构24的一端具有一个倾斜设置的第二侧壁220,所述第二侧壁220邻接于所述第一凸台23的所述侧壁230,所述半导体结构24可以与所述第二侧壁220接触,并且沿所述第二侧壁220延伸至所述第二欧姆接触结构22的背离所述第一凸台23的一侧表面上。
在其中一个实施例中,所述半导体结构24可以具有第一部241、第二部242和第三部243,所述第一部241可以设置于所述基板10和/或所述第一欧姆接触结构21上,所述第二部242可以设置于所述侧壁230上,所述第三部243可以设置于所述第二欧姆接触结构22的背离所述第一凸台23的一侧表面上。

需要说明的是,通过延长半导体结构24在B-B方向上的分布范围,使其延伸至第一欧姆接触结构21一侧的缓冲层11上、以及第二欧姆接触结构22的背离基板10的一侧表面上,在现有工艺上更易于实现,可以降低对于曝光机的精度要求。
在其中一个实施例中,所述半导体结构24可以仅具有第二部242,即所述半导体结构24可以仅设置于所述第一侧壁210、所述侧壁230以及所述第二侧壁220上。
所述第一部241与所述第三部243可以相互平行设置,并且与所述第二部242之间形成一定的夹角。
在对所述半导体结构24中的非晶硅通过准分子激光退火(excimer
laser annealing, ELA)工艺进行结晶处理时,在所述第一部241与所述第二部242的拐角处可以形成籽晶,籽晶可以沿着所述第一凸台23的所述侧壁230生长,通过将所述侧壁230的长度控制在0.01微米至1微米之间,使得薄膜晶体管的沟道长度L可以控制在0.01微米至1微米之间,如此可以使所述半导体结构24的沟道部240内只存在有一个晶粒。
相较于现有低温多晶硅薄膜晶体管中整个有源层在同一平面,受曝光、刻蚀工艺限制,沟道长度一般在2微米以上,且沟道内存在较多晶界,薄膜晶体管的迁移率较低。本申请实施例,通过将薄膜晶体管的沟道(即半导体结构24的沟道部240)形成在第一凸台23的侧壁230上,可以利用现有工艺将薄膜晶体管的沟道长度缩短为0.01微米至1微米之间,且沟道由单颗晶粒构成,不存在晶界,从而可以在减小薄膜晶体管尺寸的同时,大幅提升薄膜晶体管的迁移率。

例如,所述侧壁230与所述基板10所在平面之间的夹角θ可以为45度、60度、75度、80度或者90度等,如此可以使第一凸台23的侧壁230与基板10或者缓冲层11所在的平面能够形成拐角,并确保在ELA的过程中,第一部241与第二部242的拐角处能够形成沿所述侧壁230生长的籽晶。
进一步的,所述第一凸台23在所述显示面板的厚度方向上的厚度H介于0.0071微米至1微米之间。
需要说明的是,所述薄膜晶体管20的沟道长度L与所述第一凸台23的侧壁230的长度相等,所述薄膜晶体管20的沟道长度L取决于所述第一凸台23沿所述显示面板的厚度方向上的厚度H以及所述侧壁230与所述基板10所在平面之间的夹角θ,即L=H/sinθ。通过将所述第一凸台23的厚度H限制在0.0071微米至1微米之间,并将所述侧壁230与所述基板10所在平面之间的夹角θ限制在45度至90度之间,可以使得所述薄膜晶体管的沟道长度L介于0.01微米至1微米之间,从而可以确保所述薄膜晶体管的沟道内仅存在有一颗晶粒。
进一步的,所述显示面板还包括层间介质层14、源极26和漏极27,所述层间介质层14设置于所述栅极绝缘层13的背离所述基板10的一侧,并且覆盖所述栅极25。

所述搭接部213和所述本体部211属于所述第一欧姆接触结构21的其中一部分,可以将所述搭接部213视为所述第一欧姆接触结构21中由所述本体部211沿A-A方向延伸出并且超出所述第一凸台23的一侧边缘的一部分,所述漏极27穿过所述层间介质层14和所述栅极绝缘层13与所述搭接部213的背离所述基板10的一侧表面接触,所述源极26穿过所述层间介质层14和所述栅极绝缘层13与所述第二欧姆接触结构22的背离所述基板10的一侧表面接触。

需要说明的是,所述凸出部212与所述本体部211属于所述第一欧姆接触结构21的其中一部分,可以将所述凸出部212视为所述第一欧姆接触结构21中由所述本体部211的一端延伸并超出所述第一凸台23的边缘的一部分,所述半导体结构24与所述凸出部212的背离所述基板10的一侧表面接触。
在图2所示的实施例中,半导体结构24与所述第一欧姆接触结构21的第一侧壁210接触,接触面积相对较小,在图4所示的实施例中,半导体结构24与所述第一欧姆接触结构21超出所述第一凸台23边缘的凸出部212的背离所述基板10的一侧表面接触,接触面积相对较大,如此通过增大半导体结构24与所述第一欧姆接触结构21的接触面积,降低半导体结构24与所述第一欧姆接触结构21接触不良的风险。
在其中一个实施例中,所述半导体结构24的第一部241可以设置于基板10和所述第一欧姆接触结构21上。
需要说明的是,设置于所述基板10上可以指的是与所述基板10直接接触,也可以指的是与所述基板10间接接触。
如图2所示,所述半导体结构24的第一部241设置于所述缓冲层11的背离所述基板10的一侧表面上、以及所述凸出部212的背离所述基板10的一侧表面上,所述半导体结构24可以同时与所述凸出部212的背离所述基板10的一侧表面、以及所述凸出部212的所述第一侧壁210接触,如此可以进一步增大所述半导体结构24与所述第一欧姆接触结构21的接触面积。
在其中一个实施例中,所述半导体结构24的第一部241也可以仅设置于所述第一欧姆接触结构21的所述凸出部212的背离所述基板10的一侧表面上,如此同样可以增大与所述第一欧姆接触结构21的接触面积。
进一步的,所述凸出部212的长度L1介于0.5微米至3微米之间。例如,所述凸出部212的长度L1可以为0.5微米、0.8微米、1微米、1.5微米、2微米、2.5微米或者3微米等。如此可以确保凸出部212与第一凸台23的侧壁230之间能够形成拐角,并使所述半导体结构24在所述凸出部212与所述侧壁230的拐角处能够形成沿所述侧壁230生长的籽晶,以此确保薄膜晶体管的沟道内仅存在有一颗晶粒。

所述步骤S4中,可以通过准分子激光退火工艺对所述非晶硅层进行结晶处理,使所述非晶硅层内的非晶硅可以转变为多晶硅结构,再对所述多晶硅结构进行蚀刻,形成所述半导体结构24。
由于准分子激光退火工艺的能量有限,且全部被所述非晶硅层所吸收,在对所述非晶硅层进行结晶处理时,所述第一欧姆接触结构21和所述第二欧姆接触结构22仍然可以保持非晶硅结构。
在对所述非晶硅层进行结晶处理的过程中,所述非晶硅层在所述缓冲层11与所述第一凸台23的侧壁230的拐角处可以形成籽晶,所述籽晶可以沿所述侧壁230的方向生长,通过将所述侧壁230的长度控制在0.01微米至1微米之间,可以使所述侧壁230上的半导体结构24内只存在有一个晶粒。
步骤S5:在所述半导体结构24上形成栅极绝缘层13,所述栅极绝缘层13覆盖所述半导体结构24、所述第一欧姆接触结构21、所述第一凸台23以及所述第二欧姆接触结构22;在所述栅极绝缘层13上形成栅极25;
步骤S6:在所述栅极绝缘层13上形成层间介质层14,所述层间介质层14覆盖所述栅极25;在所述层间介质层14上形成第一过孔OH1和第二过孔OH2,所述第一过孔OH1暴露出所述第一欧姆接触结构21,所述第二过孔OH2暴露出所述第二欧姆接触结构22;
步骤S7:在所述层间介质层14上形成源极26和漏极27,所述漏极27穿过所述第一过孔OH1与所述第一欧姆接触结构21接触,所述源极26穿过所述第二过孔OH2与所述第二欧姆接触结构22接触。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例提供的显示面板的制作方法仅以图1至图3所示的第一种显示面板的结构为例,其他实施例中的显示面板的制作方法可以参考图13a至图13b所示的显示面板的制作方法,此处不做赘述。
本申请实施例的有益效果:本申请实施例提供一种显示面板,所述显示面板包括基板和层叠设置于所述基板上的第一欧姆接触结构、第一凸台、第二欧姆接触结构、半导体结构和栅极,所述第一凸台具有至少一个侧壁,通过将所述半导体结构设置于所述第一凸台的所述侧壁上,并且分别与所述第一欧姆接触结构和所述第二欧姆接触结构接触,可以利用现有的工艺缩短半导体结构内的沟道的长度,并减小薄膜晶体管的体积,从而可以提高显示面板内的薄膜晶体管的集成度。
综上所述,虽然本申请以优选实施例揭露如上,但上述优选实施例并非用以限制本申请,本领域的普通技术人员,在不脱离本申请的精神和范围内,均可作各种更动与润饰,因此本申请的保护范围以权利要求界定的范围为基准。
