Embodiment 1

[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0036] N10: Deposit a layer of gate electrode film on the substrate and form the required pattern through photolithography and etching.

[0037] N20: Deposit a layer of gate insulating layer material.

[0038] N30 deposits a layer of metal oxide, controls the process conditions to make it semiconducting, and forms the desired pattern through photolithography and etching.

[0039] N40 deposits a drain electrode layer and forms the required pattern through photolithography and etching.

[0040] N50 deposits a device protection layer.

[0041] N60 forms contact holes through processes such as photolithography and etching.

[0042] N70 converts the exposed oxide film into a conductor by vacuum annealing.

[0043] In the process step N10, the film forming process usually adopts magnetron sputtering technology, and the target material adopts AlNd and MoNb alloy; the etching process adopts traditiona...

Embodiment 2

[0051] like Figure 5 As shown, the process steps of this embodiment are similar to those of Embodiment 1, except that the final step is an annealing treatment (N80) in a reducing atmosphere to realize the transformation of the oxide material from a semiconductor to a conductor.

[0052] In the process step N80, the sample is heated to 300° C. under a reducing atmosphere such as hydrogen or nitrogen, kept for 20 minutes, and then cooled in air. Increase the carrier concentration of the treated metal oxide film to 10 20 above, thus presenting the characteristics of a conductor.

Embodiment 3

[0054] like Figure 6 As shown, the process steps of this embodiment are similar to those of Embodiment 1, except that the last step is plasma treatment (N90) to realize the transformation of the oxide material from semiconductor to conductor.

[0055] In the process step N90, the sample is placed in a vacuum chamber, and the sample is subjected to plasma surface treatment with argon plasma for 1 to 3 minutes, and the discharge power is 150W. Increase the carrier concentration of the treated metal oxide film to 10 20 above, thus presenting the characteristics of a conductor.

[0056] The process flow in the above-mentioned embodiments 1-3 usually only needs four reticles (N10, N30, N40, N60). figure 2 The conventional flow (T10, T30, T40, T60, T70) shown reduces one reticle, which reduces the cost required for manufacturing. In addition, compared with the traditional process, the above process does not require additional process steps such as film formation of the pixel el...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a metal oxide thin film transistor in the technical field of semiconductors. The method comprises the following steps: sequentially manufacturing a grid electrode layer, a grid insulating layer, a metal oxide layer, a drain electrode and a device protective layer; obtaining a drain electrode through wet-method etching; obtaining a contact hole positioned on the protective layer of the device through dry-method etching; and finally converting the metal oxide exposed in the contact hole through annealing or plasma treatment into conductor properties so as to realize the manufacturing of the transistor. According to the invention, the characteristic that the metal oxide semiconductor material can be converted into transparent conductive materials through special treatment is utilized, only four mask plates are required normally in the whole process, and additional process steps such as pixel electrode film forming, photoetching, etchingand the like are not required, the existing manufacturing steps are simplified, the property of the transistor and display and driving functions are maintained, and the manufacturing cost is lowered.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing a transistor in the field of semiconductor technology, in particular to a method for preparing a metal oxide thin film transistor. Background technique [0002] Thin film transistor (TFT) can be widely used in many technical fields such as flat panel display (FPD), flat panel image sensor (FPI) and random access memory (RAM), among which the application in FPD technology is the most important. Currently, amorphous silicon (a-Si) TFTs and polysilicon (p-Si) TFTs are mainstream in the field of TFT technology. Among them, a-Si TFT is the most widely used and can cover almost all sizes of FPD products. Limited by the uniformity of film quality, p-Si TFT is currently only suitable for small and medium-sized products. In terms of device characteristics, a-Si TFT has the advantages of simple structure and good mass production uniformity, but at the same time it has low mobility (about 0.5cm 2 / V·s), poor ligh...
