[0002] Indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) is a research hotspot of oxide semiconductor materials at the present stage. Its carrier mobility can reach 10, which is more than 10 times that of amorphous silicon. For large-area and ultra-fine panels , which can improve the response speed very well and reduce the size of the thin film transistor (Thin Film Transistor, TFT). It is widely used, but because its material is easily affected by external conditions such as water vapor, oxygen, etc., the material properties will change
[0003] For general backplanes (array substrates), LTPS (Low Temperature Polysilicon) is currently mass-produced, which has been mass-produced by Samsung. However, due to the ELA process, it requires a lot of modification of existing equipment and increased investment in equipment.

Embodiment 1

[0063] The specific description of the fabrication process of the array substrate in this embodiment is as follows:

[0064] First, an oxide semiconductor layer pattern 2 is formed on a glass substrate 1 . Such as figure 1 As shown, it is a cross-sectional view of an oxide semiconductor layer pattern 2 formed on a glass substrate. The formation process is: depositing an oxide semiconductor thin film on a glass substrate 1. The material of the oxide semiconductor is IGZO or ZnO, and its thickness is between Coating photoresist on the oxide semiconductor film, using a mask to expose and develop the photoresist, retaining the photoresist in the pattern area 100 of the semiconductor layer; etching away the exposed oxide semiconductor film, and removing the remaining photoresist to form the oxide semiconductor layer pattern 2.

A gate insulating layer 4 and a gate 5 are sequentially formed on the semiconductor layer 2 . The gate insulating layer 4 and the gate 5 are located in the middle of the semiconductor layer 2 and have the same shape and size. A metal diffusion layer 2 is also formed on the region of the semiconductor layer 2 not covered by the gate insulating layer 4 . Its formation process is as described in Example 1 or Example 2. A metal film is deposited on the semiconductor layer 2, preferably Al (because Al has better diffusivity and can form a dense protective layer after oxidation). Al is o...
