Embodiment 1

[0145] [Fabrication of TFT of Example of the Invention]

[0146] Based on the method described, first make figure 2 thin film transistor shown.

[0147] First, on a glass substrate 1 (EAGLEXG manufactured by Corning Incorporated, diameter 100 mm×thickness 0.7 mm), a Mo thin film having a thickness of 100 nm was sequentially formed as the gate electrode 2 and SiO 2 film (film thickness 250 nm) as the gate insulating film 3 . The gate electrode 2 was formed by DC sputtering using a pure Mo sputtering target under the conditions of film formation temperature: room temperature, film formation power: 300 W, carrier gas: Ar, and gas pressure: 2 mTorr. In addition, the above-mentioned gate insulating film 3 is formed of a carrier gas: SiH using a plasma CVD method. 4 with N 2 The film was formed under the conditions of a mixed gas of O, film formation power: 300 W, and film formation temperature: 350°C.

[0148] Next, the oxide semiconductor layer 4 (film thickness: 40 nm) was ...

Embodiment 2

[0209] The oxidation treatment after the formation of the SiOx film was as described in Table 3, except that after the formation of the SiNx film, further heat treatment, specifically, post-annealing at 250° C. for 30 minutes in a nitrogen atmosphere was carried out in the same manner as in Example 1. TFT.

[0210] Then, using the TFTs before and after the post-annealing, ΔV was obtained when the frequency sweep was repeated three times, specifically, the voltage was repeatedly swept from -30V to +30V, and then again from -30V to +30V. th .

[0211] The results are listed in Table 3 together. In addition, in some examples in Table 3, the hydrogen concentration in the said SiOx film after an oxidation process was calculated|required using the secondary ion mass spectrometry method shown in Example 3 mentioned later.

[0214] From Table 3, the following conditions can be seen. By performing heat treatment (post annealing) after forming the seco...

Embodiment 3

[0216] Except that the oxidation treatment after the formation of the SiOx film is carried out in the atmospheric atmosphere at a heating temperature of 250°C, 300°C, 350°C, 400°C, or 500°C for 60 minutes, or without heat treatment, the source-drain electrodes are made of Mo single A TFT was fabricated in the same manner as in Example 1 in which the second protective film was a single layer of SiNx.

[0217] An element exclusively for resistivity measurement was prepared in which Mo electrode patterns of several 100 μm square were formed at the four corners of the oxide semiconductor layer patterned into a 5 mm square square. Using this resistivity value measuring element, the resistivity value of the oxide semiconductor layer was measured using the known Van der Pauw method as a resistivity value measuring method. Moreover, the static characteristic (S value) and the evaluation of stress tolerance were implemented similarly to Example 1 using the said TFT element. collating ...

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a thin film transistor used in display devices such as liquid crystal displays and organic EL displays, and a method for manufacturing the same. Hereinafter, the thin film transistor may be referred to as "TFT". Background technique [0002] Amorphous (amorphous) oxide semiconductors have higher carrier mobility than general-purpose amorphous silicon (a-Si), have a larger optical band gap, and can form films at low temperatures, so their application to requirements is expected Large-scale / high-resolution / high-speed drive next-generation displays, resin substrates with low heat resistance, etc. The carrier mobility is also referred to as "field-effect mobility". Hereinafter, the carrier mobility may be simply referred to as "mobility". [0003] In order to have high mobility, an amorphous oxide semiconductor composed of indium, gallium, zinc, and oxygen, or an amorphous oxide semiconductor composed of indium, zinc, ti...
