Problems solved by technology

However, this structure increases the sensor element formation process in the circuit formation process.
When forming such a multilayer structure, it is difficult to secure the flatness of the element, and it is difficult to secure sensor characteristics due to changes in optical characteristics
In addition, the yield may be lowered due to the large number of manufacturing processes

Embodiment 1

[0108] image 3 is a conceptual diagram of the photosensor element of the present invention. image 3 (a) is a cross-sectional view of an optical sensor element formed on an insulating substrate, image 3 (b) is a plan view.

[0109] exist image 3In this method, a polysilicon film is used to make a first electrode on an insulating substrate, a light-receiving layer is made of an amorphous silicon film thereon, and further, a first electrode transparent to visible light-near-infrared light is made through an insulating layer thereon. Two electrodes (the so-called transparent to visible light-near-infrared light mentioned here means that the energy transmittance for light with a wavelength of 400nm to 1000nm is more than 75%).

[0110] The first electrode is connected to the wiring layer through the contact hole. image 3 The example in fig. shows the case where the wiring layer is made of the same material as that of the second electrode, but it may be of a different mater...

Abstract

A highly sensitive optical sensor element, and a switch element such as a sensor driver circuit are formed on the same insulating substrate by using an LTPS planar process to provide a low cost area sensor (optical sensor device) incorporating the sensor driver circuit and the like or an image display device incorporating the optical sensor element. As an optical sensor element structure, one electrode of the sensor element is manufactured with the same film of the polycrystalline silicon film that is an active layer of the switch element constituting a circuit. A photoelectric conversion unit for performing photoelectric conversion is made of an amorphous silicon or a polycrystalline silicon film of an intrinsic layer. A structure in which the amorphous silicon of the photoelectric conversion unit and the insulating layer are sandwiched between two electrodes of the sensor element is adopted.

Description
