Problems solved by technology

However, since the IGZO layer has no protective layer, it is easy to damage the IGZO layer when forming the drain-source metal electrode, thus affecting the performance of the thin film transistor
[0007] Due to the large resistance of IGZO, the source-drain series resistance of the thin film transistor is relatively large, which seriously affects the performance of the thin film transistor.
Moreover, due to the influence of the back channel, the back channel etched thin film transistor deteriorates the device characteristics of the bottom gate structure thin film transistor, such as increased leakage current, threshold voltage drift and other problems.

Abstract

Provided is a thin film transistor. A drain electrode groove and a source electrode groove are formed in an indium-gallium-zinc oxide layer, and etching barrier layers are formed on the groove walls of the drain electrode groove and the source electrode groove, so that when a device works, current of a source electrode and a drain electrode is not influenced by a back channel. Due to the fact that the grooves are formed in the indium-gallium-zinc oxide layer, the thickness from the contact face between the source electrode and the indium-gallium-zinc oxide layer to a gate electrode insulation layer is decreased, the thickness from the contact face between the drain electrode and the indium-gallium-zinc oxide layer to the gate electrode insulation layer is decreased, and accordingly series resistances of the source electrode and the drain electrode are reduced. The invention further discloses a manufacturing method of the thin film transistor.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor devices, in particular to a thin film transistor and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] The thin film transistors currently used in the display industry can be distinguished according to the semiconductor layer materials used, including amorphous silicon thin film transistors, polysilicon thin film transistors and metal oxide thin film transistors. Metal oxide thin film transistors have the advantages of higher electron mobility than amorphous silicon thin film transistors and simpler manufacturing process than crystal silicon thin film transistors, so they are considered to have the opportunity to replace the current mainstream amorphous silicon thin film transistors. [0003] However, due to the high resistance of the metal oxide layer of the metal oxide thin film transistor, the source-drain series resistance of the thin film transistor is relatively large, whic...
