Array substrate, manufacturing method thereof and display device

Abstract

The invention discloses an array substrate, a manufacturing method thereof and a display device. The array substrate comprises a gate insulating layer, a gate line and a switching transistor which arelocated on a substrate, the gate insulating layer comprises a first part covering the gate line and a second part covering a gate of the switching transistor; a first distance is formed between an edge of the first part and an edge of the gate line; the first distance is greater than a second distance between an edge of the second part and a gate edge of the switching transistor; equivalently, the GI tail of the gate insulating layer in a switching transistor region is not changed; the GI tail in a gate line region is increased; a subsequent interlayer dielectric layer continuously completestwo climbing processes; due to the fact that the distance between an edge of the gate insulating layer and the edge of the gate line is large, the interlayer dielectric layer is not prone to wrinkles,a subsequent source-drain metal layer cannot be thinned or sharp due to the wrinkles, the DGS defect can be well overcome, meanwhile, the structure of the switching transistor is not changed, it is guaranteed that no newly-added defect exists, and the product yield is increased.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of display technology, in particular to an array substrate, a manufacturing method thereof and a display device. Background technique [0002] At present, active matrix electroluminescent display products (AMOLED) are moving towards high definition, large size and high refresh rate. This puts a higher requirement on the performance of the transistor (TFT) of the AMOLED driving circuit. Currently, the TFT structures used in AMOLED driving circuits mainly include etch stop layer structure (ESL), top gate structure (Top Gate), and back channel etch structure (BCE). Among them, there is no overlap between the gate and the source and drain of the Top Gate structure, so it can effectively reduce the parasitic capacitance, and the refresh frequency is better, the size is smaller, and it can better meet the needs of AMOLED development. Therefore, the Top Gate structure is a focus of research and development. directi...
