Problems solved by technology

The traditional method is to use thermal annealing, and the annealing time is calculated in hours or minutes. Since thermal annealing is the uniform heating of the material, it will redistribute the dopant of the semiconductor material, and the thermal annealing method is complex and prone to pollution during operation.
Most importantly, thermal annealing methods cannot anneal TFTs based on heat-sensitive materials as substrates

Abstract

The invention discloses an annealing method for a thin film transistor (TFT) based on a novel quaternary metal oxide ITZO (In-Ti-Zn-O). The method adopts a PLD (Pulsed Laser Deposition) device, and an ITZO semiconductor layer is prepared on a SiO2 / Si substrate at a room temperature. Excimer laser is adopted to carry out annealing on the well-prepared TFT, and influences on the device by different laser annealing energy and different laser annealing times can be researched respectively. The preparation method provided by the invention is simple and controllable, all preparation steps are carries out at the room temperature, low-temperature and controllable annealing on the device are realized, the problem that the flexible substrate is hard to anneal is solved, and requirements of manufacturing a flexible display device in the industry can be met. The testing result shows that the electrical performance of the TFT is improved significantly due to laser annealing. The method can be applied to products such as an active matrix liquid crystal display device, a printer and a camera.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of amorphous metal oxide semiconductor thin film transistor preparation. Specifically, it relates to a new annealing method in the thin film transistor preparation process based on a new type of efficient amorphous metal oxide - an excimer laser annealing method. Background technique [0002] In recent years, Thin Film Transistor (TFT) has played an important role in Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Display (AMLCD). With the rapid advancement of science and technology, the level of semiconductor technology continues to improve, and the development of TFTs has successively included amorphous silicon TFTs, polycrystalline silicon TFTs, and microcrystalline silicon TFTs. The most widely used one at present is amorphous silicon TFT. However, the field-induced mobility of amorphous silicon TFT devices is low, the on-state resistance is large, and there are many problems in stability. Therefore, it cannot meet the cu...
