Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, the above method requires the pattern of the source / drain region to be defined by the pattern of the photoresist layer 16, and the pattern of the spacer region 12b needs to be defined by the pattern of the gate layer 20, so it is not easy to precisely control the length of the spacer region 12b , position and symmetry
Moreover, limited by the alignment error (photo misalignment) of the exposure technology, it is not easy to control the positional displacement of the gate layer 20, and the problem of the positional deviation of the spacer region 12b will be more serious.
Moreover, the process of the above method is complicated, the product production rate is low, and it is not easy to control the lateral length of the spacer region 12b, which will affect the shrinkage rate, electrical performance and reliability of the polysilicon TFT.

[0045] As shown in FIG. 3 , it shows a schematic cross-sectional view of the self-aligned spacer region of the thin film transistor according to the first embodiment of the present invention. A buffer layer 52 , an active layer 54 , a gate insulating layer 56 and a gate layer 58 are fabricated sequentially on a substrate 50 . The substrate 50 is preferably a transparent insulating substrate, such as a glass substrate. The buffer layer 52 is preferably a dielectric material layer, such as a silicon oxide layer, and its purpose is to help the active layer 54 to be formed on the substrate 50 . The active layer 54 is preferably a semiconductor silicon layer, such as a polysilicon layer. The gate insulating layer 56 is preferably a silicon oxide layer, a silicon nitride layer, a silicon oxynitride layer or a combination thereof.

[0055] As shown in FIG. 4A to FIG. 4C , they are schematic cross-sectional views of the self-aligned spacer regions of the thin film transistor according to the second embodiment of the present invention. The components and structural features of the thin film transistor of the second embodiment are substantially the same as those described in the first embodiment, and the similarities will not be described again. The difference is that the gate insulating layer 56 includes a central region 56a, two shielding regions 56b and two extending regions 56c. Wherein, the extension region 56c is an extension of the shielding region 56b, is exposed on both sides of the bottom of the gate layer 58, and extends to cover the source / drain region 54a. It is characterized in that the thickness of the extension region 56c is much smaller than the thickness of the shielding region 56b, which will not affect the fabrication of the spacer region 54b and the source / drain region 54a.

Abstract

Active layer of thin film transistor includes a channel region, a spacer region and a doped region. The spacer region is positioned on periphery region of the channel region, and the doped region is positioned on periphery region of the spacer region. A grid insulation layer formed on the active layer includes at least a central region and a shelter region. The central region covers the channel region, and the shelter region covers the spacer region. Grid layer covers the central region of the grid insulation layer and exposes the shelter region.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a thin film transistor technology, in particular to a method for manufacturing a polysilicon thin film transistor with a self-aligned offset region. Background technique [0002] A thin film transistor (TFT) of a liquid crystal display (hereinafter referred to as LCD) is used as a switching element of a pixel, and generally can be divided into two types: an amorphous silicon TFT and a polysilicon TFT. Because polysilicon TFTs have higher carrier mobility, better integration of driving circuits, and smaller leakage currents, polysilicon TFTs are often used in circuits with high operating speeds. However, for a polysilicon TFT used as a switch component of an LCD, the voltage difference between the source and the drain will be significantly reduced in the depletion region adjacent to the drain, and then a large TFT will be generated in the depletion region. electric field. Therefore, the energy gap generated by material...
