- the direction from the substrate toward the oxide semiconductor layer is referred to as “up” or “upper”. Conversely, the direction from the oxide semiconductor layer toward the substrate is referred to as “down” or “downper”.
- up or downper are used in the explanation, but for example, the substrate and the oxide semiconductor layer may be arranged so that their vertical relationship is reversed from that shown in the figure.
- the expression “oxide semiconductor layer on a substrate” merely describes the vertical relationship between the substrate and the oxide semiconductor layer as described above, and other members may be arranged between the substrate and the oxide semiconductor layer.
- Up or “downper” refers to the order of stacking in a structure in which multiple layers are stacked, and when referring to a pixel electrode above a thin film transistor, the thin film transistor and the pixel electrode may not overlap in a planar view. On the other hand, when referring to a pixel electrode vertically above a thin film transistor, the thin film transistor and the pixel electrode may overlap in a planar view.

- the term “display device” refers to a structure that displays an image using an electro-optical layer.
- the term display device may refer to a display panel that includes an electro-optical layer, or may refer to a structure in which other optical components (e.g., polarizing components, backlights, touch panels, etc.) are attached to a display cell.
- the "electro-optical layer” may include a liquid crystal layer, an electroluminescent (EL) layer, an electrochromic (EC) layer, and an electrophoretic layer, unless a technical contradiction occurs.
- the oxide semiconductor film according to this embodiment includes indium (In) and at least one or more metal elements (M) other than indium. That is, the metal elements other than indium contained in the oxide semiconductor film may be one type of metal element or may be a plurality of types of metal elements.
- the composition ratio of the oxide semiconductor film is preferably such that the atomic ratio of indium and at least one or more metal elements satisfies formula (1). In other words, the ratio of indium to all metal elements in the oxide semiconductor film is preferably 50% or more.
- the crystal structure of the oxide semiconductor film preferably has a bixbyite structure. By increasing the ratio of indium, an oxide semiconductor film having a bixbyite structure can be formed.
- the at least one metal element is preferably, for example, one or more elements selected from the group consisting of aluminum (Al), gallium (Ga), yttrium (Y), scandium (Sc), and lanthanoid elements.
- the first metal element contained in the at least one metal element is preferably gallium.
- Gallium belongs to the same group 13 element as indium, and therefore does not impair the crystallinity of the oxide semiconductor film. In other words, even if the oxide semiconductor film contains gallium as the first metal element, an oxide semiconductor film having a bixbyite structure can be formed.
- the oxide semiconductor film may contain a second metal element (M2) selected from the group consisting of aluminum, yttrium, scandium, and lanthanoid elements.
- M2 a second metal element selected from the group consisting of aluminum, yttrium, scandium, and lanthanoid elements.
- the atomic ratios of indium, gallium, and the second metal element preferably satisfy formulas (2), (3), and (4). Since the ratio of the second metal element is lower than the ratio of indium or gallium, the second metal element does not inhibit the crystallinity of the oxide semiconductor film.
- the oxide semiconductor film can be formed by a sputtering method.
- the composition of the oxide semiconductor film formed by sputtering depends on the composition of the sputtering target.
- a sputtering target having the above-mentioned composition an oxide semiconductor film without composition deviation of metal elements can be formed by sputtering. Therefore, the composition of the metal elements (indium and other metal elements) of the oxide semiconductor film may be the same as the composition of the metal elements of the sputtering target.
- the composition of the metal elements of the oxide semiconductor film can be specified based on the composition of the metal elements of the sputtering target. Note that this is not limited to the oxygen element contained in the oxide semiconductor film, as it changes depending on the process conditions of the sputtering.
- the composition of the metal elements in the oxide semiconductor film can also be determined using X-ray fluorescence analysis or Electron Probe Micro Analyzer (EPMA) analysis. Furthermore, since the oxide semiconductor film has a polycrystalline structure, the composition of the oxide semiconductor film can be determined using X-ray diffraction (XRD) method. Specifically, the composition of the metal elements in the oxide semiconductor film can be determined based on the crystal structure and lattice constant of the oxide semiconductor film obtained by XRD method.

Although details will be described later, by using a polycrystalline oxide semiconductor (Poly-OS) technique, an oxide semiconductor film having a novel polycrystalline structure different from a conventional one can be formed. Therefore, hereinafter, the oxide semiconductor film having a polycrystalline structure according to this embodiment may be referred to as a Poly-OS film in order to distinguish it from a conventional oxide semiconductor film having a polycrystalline structure.
- Poly-OS polycrystalline oxide semiconductor
- the crystal structure of the Poly-OS film is not particularly limited, but is preferably a bixbyite structure.
- the crystal structure of the Poly-OS film can be identified using the XRD method or the electron beam diffraction method.
- the crystal structure of the Poly-OS film is different from that of a conventional oxide semiconductor film having a polycrystalline structure.
- the inventors found that, although the Poly-OS film has a polycrystalline structure, the polycrystalline structure of the Poly-OS film is different from that of a conventional oxide semiconductor film. That is, the inventors, as a result of various trials and errors, have completed an oxide semiconductor film (Poly-OS film) having a novel polycrystalline structure different from that of conventional oxide semiconductor films.
- the crystallinity characteristics of the Poly-OS film can be obtained by using an XRD method.
- out-of-plane measurement evaluates lattice planes parallel to the film surface
- in-plane measurement evaluates lattice planes perpendicular to the film surface.
- the characteristics of Poly-OS films can be obtained through out-of-plane measurement.
- the (001) plane includes the (001) plane as well as the equivalent (100) plane and (010) plane.
- the (101) plane includes the (101) plane as well as the equivalent (110) plane and (011) plane.
- the (111) plane represents the (111) plane.
- "1" may be "-1", and is considered to be an equivalent plane to each plane.
- a peak appears at a certain diffraction angle (2 ⁇ ) in a diffraction pattern obtained by out-of-plane measurement.
- a conventional crystalline oxide semiconductor film containing 50% or more indium and having a bixbite structure has peaks at diffraction angles of about 31° and about 44° in a diffraction pattern.
- the peak at the diffraction angle of about 31° is attributed to the (222) plane of the bixbite structure.
- the peak at the diffraction angle of about 44° is attributed to the (422) plane of the bixbite structure.
- the peak intensity at the diffraction angle of about 31° is significantly greater than the peak intensity at the diffraction angle of about 44°. This means that many crystals having a (222) plane in a direction parallel to the surface of the oxide semiconductor film are present.
- the diffraction angle of the diffraction pattern of the oxide semiconductor film may vary depending on the composition of the metal elements contained in the oxide semiconductor film or the manufacturing conditions of the oxide semiconductor film. Therefore, in this specification, the vicinity of the diffraction angle peak is considered to include a range of ⁇ 2°.
- the diffraction pattern of a Poly-OS film having a bixbite structure also has a peak at a diffraction angle of about 31°, which corresponds to the (222) plane of the bixbite structure.
- the peak intensity of the diffraction angle of the Poly-OS film at about 31° is smaller than the peak intensity of the diffraction angle of about 31° of a conventional crystalline oxide semiconductor film with the same film thickness.
- the peak intensity of the diffraction angle of the Poly-OS film at about 31° is less than half the peak intensity of the diffraction angle of about 31° of a conventional crystalline oxide semiconductor film with the same film thickness.
- a peak may appear at a diffraction angle of about 44° in the diffraction pattern of the Poly-OS film.
- the ratio of the peak intensity at a diffraction angle of about 31° to the peak intensity at a diffraction angle of about 44° is 3.0 or less.
- a peak may not appear at a diffraction angle of about 44°.
- a peak may appear at a diffraction angle of about 52°, which corresponds to the (440) plane of the bixbyite structure.
- the scanning speed of the goniometer is set to 1.0°/min or less, preferably 0.5°/min or less, to increase the intensity per diffraction angle.
- the measurement width is, for example, 0.05° or more, but is not limited to this.
- the above-mentioned ranges of the scanning speed and measurement width are examples of conditions for improving the S/N ratio, and are not limited to these ranges.
- the S/N ratio is defined as the ratio of the maximum intensity (S) of the peak of the (222) plane to the noise width (N).
- the maximum intensity (S) of the peak of the (222) plane is obtained from the diffraction pattern of the Poly-OS film from which background removal has been performed.
- the noise width (N) is calculated by defining a baseline using linear approximation by the least squares method for the intensity data at diffraction angles of 29° to 30° in the diffraction pattern of the Poly-OS film before background subtraction, and doubling the standard deviation of the difference from the baseline (i.e., 2 ⁇ ).
- FIG. 1 shows an example of a diffraction pattern of an oxide semiconductor film (Poly-OS film) according to one embodiment of the present invention, obtained by out-of-plane XRD measurement.
- the measurement conditions are a goniometer scanning speed of 0.5°/min and a measurement width of 0.05°.
- peaks of the (222) plane and the (440) plane can be observed near 31° and near 52°, respectively.
- the calculated S/N ratio is 27.0, and the intensity of the peak of the (440) plane has sufficiently high reliability.
- the Poly-OS film exhibits a characteristic diffraction pattern different from that of conventional crystalline oxide semiconductor films.
- a peak of the (440) plane is more likely to appear than in conventional crystalline oxide semiconductor films. This means that the orientation of the (222) plane with respect to the surface of the Poly-OS film is relaxed, and the (440) plane is aligned in a direction parallel to the surface of the Poly-OS film.
- the crystals contained in the Poly-OS film have a characteristic crystal arrangement different from that of conventional crystals.
- One of the parameters indicating the characteristics of the crystallinity of such a Poly-OS film is the ratio of the peak intensity of the (222) plane to the peak intensity of the (440) plane (hereinafter referred to as "(222)/(440) peak intensity ratio").
- the peak intensity of the (222) plane is large, and a peak of the (440) plane is hardly observed. Therefore, the (222)/(440) peak intensity ratio of a conventional crystalline oxide semiconductor film cannot be calculated or exceeds 500.
- the (222)/(440) peak intensity ratio of a Poly-OS film is 300 or less.
- a thin film transistor using the Poly-OS film as a channel has a (222)/(440) peak intensity ratio of 125 or less, a field-effect mobility of 30 cm 2 /Vs or more can be obtained.
- the (222)/(440) peak intensity ratio of the Poly-OS film is preferably 50 or less, and more preferably 15 or less.
- a field-effect mobility of 34 cm 2 /Vs or more can be obtained.
- a field-effect mobility of 38 cm 2 /Vs or more can be obtained in some cases.
- the lower limit is preferably 1 or more.
- the (222)/(440) peak intensity ratio of the Poly-OS film is 1 or more, this means that the Poly-OS film has a cubic crystal structure and has both the (222) and (440) planes parallel to the film thickness direction (perpendicular to the film surface), and it can be determined that the long-range atomic order is maintained.
- the crystal grains in the Poly-OS film may be composed of a plurality of crystallites.
- the crystallite diameter D can be calculated by the Scherrer formula shown in Equation (5) using the peak width of the diffraction pattern.
- K is the Scherrer constant
- ⁇ is the wavelength of the X-ray
- ⁇ is the half-width of the peak
- ⁇ is the Bragg angle (corresponding to 1/2 of the diffraction angle 2 ⁇ ).
- the crystallite diameter D of the crystal grains contained in the Poly-OS film can be calculated using the half-width of the peak corresponding to the (222) plane. In an out-of-plane diffraction pattern using Cu-K ⁇ radiation, it is preferable that the crystallite diameter D is approximately equal to the film thickness t of the Poly-OS.
- the ratio (D/t) of the crystallite diameter D to the film thickness t of the Poly-OS film is 0.75 or more, preferably 0.85 or more, and more preferably 0.95 or more.
- the film thickness t of the Poly-OS film is not particularly limited, but as the film thickness t becomes smaller, D/t becomes larger, and a Poly-OS film with a small (222)/(440) peak intensity ratio can be obtained.
- the film thickness t of the Poly-OS film is, for example, 30 nm or less, preferably 20 nm or less, and more preferably 15 nm or less. In particular, when the film thickness is less than 20 nm, a Poly-OS film having a D/t of 0.95 or more is obtained. Note that when the film thickness of the Poly-OS film is small, a crystallite diameter D exceeding the film thickness t of the Poly-OS film may be obtained.
- the crystallite diameter D is a value close to the film thickness t of the Poly-OS film, it means that the crystallite diameter D is approximately equal to the film thickness t of the Poly-OS film, and it can be determined that D/t is 0.95 or more.
- the Poly-OS film As described above, in the Poly-OS film, the peak intensity of the (222) plane in the diffraction pattern is small. However, the crystallite diameter D of the Poly-OS film is almost equal to the film thickness t of the Poly-OS film. Therefore, the Poly-OS film has a novel crystal structure in which the crystal orientation is relaxed while the long-range atomic order is maintained in the film thickness direction (perpendicular to the film surface).
- the oxide semiconductor film according to one embodiment of the present invention i.e., the Poly-OS film
- the Poly-OS film has a novel crystal structure.
- the field effect mobility is not reduced but is actually improved. Therefore, the electrical characteristics of a thin film transistor including a Poly-OS film are improved.
