Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of TFT array substrate manufacturing, and in particular to a TFT array substrate and a manufacturing method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Indium gallium zinc oxide IGZO (indium gallium zinc oxide) has a carrier mobility 20-30 times that of amorphous silicon, which can realize ultra-high resolution TFT-LCD. At the same time, due to its high transparency, low cost, low manufacturing temperature and other characteristics, it is widely used in industrial production.
[0003] Since low-temperature polysilicon (LTPS) has a higher carrier mobility as a channel layer material (about 3 to 10 times that of IGZO-TFT), it can be used as a driving TFT in the peripheral GIP area. By utilizing its high carrier mobility, a narrow frame design can be achieved. However, since IGZO-TFT has a smaller Ioff than LTPS-TFT, the use of IGZO-TFT in the display area only requires a single gate to suppress leakage problems, thereby achieving the purpose of low power consumption. With the existing LTPO technology, LTPS-TFT is used as the GIP area and IGZO-TFT is used as the display area (AA area). The high mobility characteristics of LTPS technology can be used to achieve a narrow frame, while the low Ioff characteristics of IGZO technology can be used to achieve low power consumption. Therefore, manufacturers in the industry have begun to invest in the development of LTPO TFTs to achieve narrow-frame, low-power display technology. In existing LTPO technologies, LTPSTFT1 usually adopts a top-gate self-aligned structure, and IGZOTFT2 usually adopts a BCE structure. In the LTPS process, the ILD layer usually uses a SiOx / SiNx double-layer structure, in which the SiNx film has a higher H ion content. In the subsequent annealing process, the movement of H ions can play a role in repairing the poly-Si channel lattice and improving the subthreshold swing of the device. The SiOx film can reduce parasitic capacitance due to its low dielectric constant; but the IGZO layer in TFT2 is more sensitive to H ions, and the movement of a large number of H ions can easily cause TFT2Vth drift, so it is necessary to reduce the diffusion of H ions in the annealing process of IGZOTFT2. Summary of the invention

[0051] In order to explain the technical content, structural features, achieved objectives and effects of the technical solution in detail, the following is a detailed description in conjunction with specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0052] See also Figures 1 to 6The present embodiment provides a method for manufacturing a TFT array substrate, comprising the steps of: dividing a substrate 1 into a first TFT region 2 and a second TFT region 3; manufacturing a first active layer 211 in the first TFT region 2, and dividing the first active layer 211 into a channel region 2111 and a conductive region 2112, wherein the conductive region 2112 is disposed on both sides of the channel region 2111; manufacturing a first gate insulating layer 212 on the channel region 2111; manufacturing a first metal layer 213 on the first gate insulating layer 212; and manufacturing The isolation layer 214 is formed, and the isolation layer 214 located on the second TFT region 3 is etched; the isolation layer 214 is etched to form two first through holes 215 with the conductive region 2112 as the bottom; a first source electrode 216, a first drain electrode 217 and a second metal layer 311 are manufactured, and the first source electrode 216 and the first drain electrode 217 are respectively connected to the conductive region 2112 on the active layer through the two first through holes 215; the second metal layer 311 is placed on the second TFT region 3; the substrate 1 is a glass substrate. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the first active layer 211 is a polysilicon active layer. In the actual process, the first active layer 211 is manufactured through a mask plate. After the first active layer 211 is manufactured, the first active layer 211 can be partially conductorized to divide the first active layer 211 into a conductorized area 2112 and a channel area 2111, and the conductorized area 2112 is arranged on both sides of the channel area 2111; the first gate insulating layer 212 is manufactured on the channel area 2111 through a mask plate. It should be noted that the first gate insulating layer 212 completely covers the channel area 2111, and the first metal layer 213 is manufactured on the first gate insulating layer 212. It should be further explained that the isolation layer 214 is an ILD isolation layer 214, and the material is SiNx. When manufacturing the isolation layer 214, the isolation layer 214 is first coated on all areas, and the isolation layer 214 located on the second TFT area 3 is etched away on the through-hole mask plate, and then two first through holes 215 are etched through the mask plate to connect the first source electrode 216 and the first drain electrode 217 to the conductive area 2112 of the first active layer 211. After the first TFT 21 is manufactured, the second TFT 31 is manufactured on the second TFT area 3. When manufacturing the first source electrode 216, the first drain electrode 217 and the second metal layer 311, a metal layer is prepared as a whole through a mask plate, and then after patterning, the first source electrode 216 and the first drain electrode 217 are formed on the isolation layer 214 on the first TFT area 2, and the second metal layer 311 is formed on the substrate 1 in the second TFT area 3. A layer of mask is used to manufacture the first source electrode 216, the first drain electrode 217 and the second metal layer 311, and the materials of the three are the same.The above technical solution is defined as two regions through the TFT array substrate 1, wherein the first TFT21 adopts a top gate self-aligned structure, which is a GIP region; the second TFT31 adopts a bottom gate structure (BCE / ESL structure), which is a display region (AA region). In the LTPS process, the isolation layer 214 usually uses a SiOx / SiNx double-layer structure, and the SiNx film has a high H ion content. In the subsequent annealing process, the H ions move, which can play a role in repairing the lattice of the first active layer 211 and improve the device SS. However, the second active layer 313 in the second TFT31 is more sensitive to H ions, and a large amount of H ion movement can easily cause Vth drift. Therefore, the inter-isolation layer 214ILD of the first TFT21 is etched to only remain in the first TFT region 2, reducing the H ion diffusion in the annealing process of the second TFT31, and improving the device stability of the second TFT31. At the same time, since the isolation layer 214 is only retained in the first TFT region 2, the film thickness of the second TFT31 in the AA region is thinned, and the transmittance is increased, which can improve the display effect. The H ions in the isolation layer are greater than the H ions in the second gate insulating layer.
