[0049] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present disclosure more clearly understood, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The implementation manners can be implemented in multiple different forms. It is easy for those of ordinary skill in the art to understand the fact that the manners and contents can be transformed into various forms without departing from the gist and scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the present disclosure should not be construed as being limited only to the contents described in the following implementation manners. Without conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be combined arbitrarily with each other.
[0050] The drawing ratios in the present disclosure can be used as a reference in the actual process, but are not limited thereto. For example, the width-to-length ratio of the channel, the thickness and spacing of each film layer, and the width and spacing of each signal line can be adjusted according to actual needs. The number of pixels in the display substrate and the number of sub-pixels in each pixel are not limited to the numbers shown in the figures. The drawings described in the present disclosure are only schematic diagrams of the structure, and one implementation manner of the present disclosure is not limited to the shapes, values, etc. shown in the drawings.
[0051] The ordinal numbers such as "first", "second", "third", etc. in this specification are set to avoid confusion of components, rather than to limit the quantity.
[0052] In this specification, for convenience, terms indicating orientation or positional relationships such as "middle part", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. are used to describe the positional relationships of the components with reference to the drawings. This is only for the convenience of describing this specification and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation to the present disclosure. The positional relationships of the components are appropriately changed according to the directions describing each component. Therefore, it is not limited to the terms described in the specification, and can be appropriately replaced according to the situation.
[0053] In this specification, unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, the terms "mounted", "connected", and "coupled" shall be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate member, or the internal communication of two components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present disclosure can be understood according to specific situations.
[0054] In this specification, a transistor refers to an element including at least three terminals: a gate electrode, a drain electrode, and a source electrode. The transistor has a channel region between the drain electrode (drain electrode terminal, drain region, or drain electrode) and the source electrode (source electrode terminal, source region, or source electrode), and current can flow through the drain electrode, the channel region, and the source electrode. Note that in this specification, the channel region refers to the region where current mainly flows.
[0055] In this specification, the first pole can be the drain electrode and the second pole can be the source electrode, or the first pole can be the source electrode and the second pole can be the drain electrode. In cases such as when using transistors with opposite polarities or when the current direction changes during circuit operation, the functions of the "source electrode" and "drain electrode" sometimes swap with each other. Therefore, in this specification, the "source electrode" and "drain electrode" can swap with each other, and the "source terminal" and "drain terminal" can swap with each other.
[0056] In this specification, "electrically connected" includes cases where components are connected together through an element having a certain electrical effect. The "element having a certain electrical effect" is not particularly limited as long as it can transfer electrical signals between the components to be connected. Examples of the "element having a certain electrical effect" include not only electrodes and wirings, but also switching elements such as transistors, resistors, inductors, capacitors, and other elements having various functions.
[0057] In this specification, "parallel" means a state where the angle formed by two straight lines is -10° or more and 10° or less, and thus also includes a state where the angle is -5° or more and 5° or less. Additionally, "perpendicular" means a state where the angle formed by two straight lines is 80° or more and 100° or less, and thus also includes an angle state of 85° or more and 95° or less.
[0058] In this specification, "film" and "layer" can be swapped with each other. For example, sometimes "conductive layer" can be changed to "conductive film". Similarly, sometimes "insulating film" can be changed to "insulating layer".
[0059] In this specification, triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons, hexagons, etc. are not strictly defined and can be approximate triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons, hexagons, etc. There can be some small deformations due to tolerances, and there can be chamfers, rounded edges, and deformations, etc.
[0060] "About" in this disclosure means not strictly defining the boundary and allowing values within the process and measurement error ranges.
[0061] Figure 1 It is a schematic structural diagram of a display device. As Figure 1As shown, the OLED display device may include a timing controller, a data driver, a scan driver, a light-emitting driver, and a pixel array. The pixel array may include a plurality of scan signal lines (S1 to Sm), a plurality of data signal lines (D1 to Dn), a plurality of light-emitting signal lines (E1 to Eo), and a plurality of sub-pixels Pxij. In an exemplary embodiment, the timing controller may provide a gray value and a control signal suitable for the specification of the data driver to the data driver, may provide a clock signal, a scan start signal, etc. suitable for the specification of the scan driver to the scan driver, and may provide a clock signal, an emission stop signal, etc. suitable for the specification of the light-emitting driver to the light-emitting driver. The data driver may generate data voltages to be provided to the data signal lines D1, D2, D3,..., and Dn by using the gray value and the control signal received from the timing controller. For example, the data driver may sample the gray value using a clock signal and apply data voltages corresponding to the gray value to the data signal lines D1 to Dn in units of pixel rows, and n may be a natural number. The scan driver may generate scan signals to be provided to the scan signal lines S1, S2, S3,..., and Sm by receiving a clock signal, a scan start signal, etc. from the timing controller. For example, the scan driver may sequentially provide scan signals having conductive level pulses to the scan signal lines S1 to Sm. For example, the scan driver may be configured in the form of a shift register and may generate scan signals in such a way that a scan start signal provided in the form of a conductive level pulse is sequentially transmitted to a next-stage circuit under the control of a clock signal, and m may be a natural number. The light-emitting driver may generate emission signals to be provided to the light-emitting signal lines E1, E2, E3,..., and Eo by receiving a clock signal, an emission stop signal, etc. from the timing controller. For example, the light-emitting driver may sequentially provide emission signals having cut-off level pulses to the light-emitting signal lines E1 to Eo. For example, the light-emitting driver may be configured in the form of a shift register and may generate emission signals in such a way that an emission stop signal provided in the form of a cut-off level pulse is sequentially transmitted to a next-stage circuit under the control of a clock signal, and o may be a natural number. The pixel array may include a plurality of sub-pixels Pxij. Each sub-pixel Pxij may be connected to a corresponding data signal line, a corresponding scan signal line, and a corresponding light-emitting signal line, and i and j may be natural numbers. The sub-pixel Pxij may refer to a sub-pixel in which a transistor is connected to the i-th scan signal line and the j-th data signal line.
[0062] Figure 2 It is a schematic plan view of a display substrate. As Figure 2As shown, the display substrate may include a plurality of pixel units P arranged in a matrix. At least one of the plurality of pixel units P includes a first light-emitting unit (sub-pixel) P1 that emits first-color light, a second light-emitting unit P2 that emits second-color light, and a third light-emitting unit P3 that emits third-color light. The first light-emitting unit P1, the second light-emitting unit P2, and the third light-emitting unit P3 each include a pixel driving circuit and a light-emitting device. The pixel driving circuits in the first light-emitting unit P1, the second light-emitting unit P2, and the third light-emitting unit P3 are respectively connected to a scan signal line, a data signal line, and a light-emitting signal line. The pixel driving circuit is configured to receive a data voltage transmitted by the data signal line under the control of the scan signal line and the light-emitting signal line, and output a corresponding current to the light-emitting device. The light-emitting devices in the first light-emitting unit P1, the second light-emitting unit P2, and the third light-emitting unit P3 are respectively connected to the pixel driving circuits of the respective light-emitting units, and the light-emitting devices are configured to emit light with a corresponding brightness in response to the current output by the pixel driving circuits of the respective light-emitting units.
[0063] In an exemplary embodiment, the pixel unit P may include a red (R) light-emitting unit, a green (G) light-emitting unit, and a blue (B) light-emitting unit, or may include a red light-emitting unit, a green light-emitting unit, a blue light-emitting unit, and a white light-emitting unit, which is not limited herein in the present disclosure. In an exemplary embodiment, the shape of the light-emitting unit in the pixel unit may be rectangular, diamond-shaped, pentagonal, or hexagonal. When the pixel unit includes three light-emitting units, the three light-emitting units may be arranged in a horizontal side-by-side, vertical side-by-side, or triangular pattern. When the pixel unit includes four light-emitting units, the four light-emitting units may be arranged in a horizontal side-by-side, vertical side-by-side, or square pattern, which is not limited herein in the present disclosure.
[0064] In some exemplary embodiments, the pixel driving circuit may be a 3T1C, 4T1C, 5T1C, 5T2C, 6T1C, or 7T1C structure. Figure 3 It is an equivalent circuit schematic diagram of a pixel driving circuit. As Figure 3 shown, the pixel driving circuit may include seven transistors (a first transistor T1 to a seventh transistor T7), one storage capacitor C, and a plurality of signal lines (a data signal line Da, a first scan signal line G1, a second scan signal line G2, a first reset signal line Re1, a second reset signal line Re2, a first initialization signal line INIT1, a second initialization signal line INIT2, a first power supply line VDD, a second power supply line VSS, and a light-emitting signal line EM).
[0065] In some exemplary embodiments, the gate electrode of the first transistor T1 is connected to the second reset signal line Re2, the first pole of the first transistor T1 is connected to the second initial signal line INIT2, and the second pole of the first transistor is connected to the first node N1. The gate electrode of the second transistor T2 is connected to the second scan signal line G2, the first pole of the second transistor T2 is connected to the first node N1, and the second pole of the second transistor T2 is connected to the third node N3. The gate electrode of the third transistor T3 is connected to the first node N1, the first pole of the third transistor T3 is connected to the second node N2, and the second pole of the third transistor T3 is connected to the third node N3. The gate electrode of the fourth transistor T4 is connected to the first scan signal line G1, the first pole of the fourth transistor T4 is connected to the data signal line Da, and the second pole of the fourth transistor T4 is connected to the second node N2. The gate electrode of the fifth transistor T5 is connected to the emission signal line EM, the first pole of the fifth transistor T5 is connected to the first power supply line VDD, and the second pole of the fifth transistor T5 is connected to the second node N2. The gate electrode of the sixth transistor T6 is connected to the emission signal line EM, the first pole of the sixth transistor T6 is connected to the third node N3, and the second pole of the sixth transistor T6 is connected to the fourth node N4 (i.e., the first pole of the light-emitting element EL). The gate electrode of the seventh transistor T7 is connected to the first reset signal line Re1, the first pole of the seventh transistor T7 is connected to the first initial signal line INIT1, and the second pole of the seventh transistor T7 is connected to the fourth node N4. The first end of the storage capacitor C is connected to the first power supply line VDD, and the second end of the storage capacitor C1 is connected to the first node N1.
[0066] In some exemplary embodiments, the third transistor T3 to the seventh transistor T7 may be N-type thin film transistors, and the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 may be P-type thin film transistors; alternatively, the third transistor T3 to the seventh transistor T7 may be P-type thin film transistors, and the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 may be N-type thin film transistors.
[0067] In some exemplary embodiments, the third transistor T3 to the seventh transistor T7 may be low-temperature poly-silicon (LTPS) thin film transistors (TFTs), and the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 may be indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) thin film transistors.
[0068] In this embodiment, compared with a low-temperature polycrystalline silicon thin-film transistor, the indium gallium zinc oxide thin-film transistor generates less leakage current. Therefore, setting the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 as indium gallium zinc oxide thin-film transistors can significantly reduce the generation of leakage current, thereby improving the problem of low-frequency and low-brightness flicker of the display panel. The pixel driving circuit of the embodiment of the present disclosure combines the good switching characteristics of LTPS-TFT and the low leakage characteristics of Oxide-TFT, and can achieve low-frequency driving (1 Hz to 60 Hz), greatly reducing the power consumption of the display screen.
[0069] In some exemplary embodiments, the second pole of the light-emitting element EL is connected to the second power supply line VSS, the signal of the second power supply line VSS is a low-level signal, and the signal of the first power supply line VDD is a continuously provided high-level signal. For the nth display row, the first scan signal line G1 is G1(n), and the first reset signal line Re1 is G1(n - 1). The signal of the first reset signal line Re1 of this display row and the signal of the first scan signal line G1 in the pixel driving circuit of the previous display row can be the same signal; similarly, for the nth display row, the second scan signal line G2 is G2(n), and the second reset signal line Re2 is G2(n - 1). The signal of the second reset signal line Re2 of this display row and the signal of the second scan signal line G2 in the pixel driving circuit of the previous display row can be the same signal, so as to reduce the signal lines of the display panel and achieve a narrow border of the display panel.
[0070] In some exemplary embodiments, the light-emitting element EL may be an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), including a stacked first pole (anode), an organic light-emitting layer, and a second pole (cathode).
[0071] Figure 4 It is a timing diagram of the operation of a pixel driving circuit. The following will illustrate the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure through Figure 4 the operation process of the exemplary pixel driving circuit. Figure 3 The pixel driving circuit in the embodiment includes 7 transistors (the first transistor T1 to the seventh transistor T7) and 1 storage capacitor C. In this embodiment, the third transistor T3 to the seventh transistor T7 are taken as P-type transistors, and the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 are taken as N-type transistors for illustration.
[0072] In some exemplary embodiments, the driving method of the pixel driving circuit may include a reset stage t1, a compensation stage t2, and a light-emitting stage t3.
[0073] In the reset stage t1: The second reset signal line Re2 outputs a high-level signal, and the first reset signal line Re1 outputs a low-level signal. The first transistor T1 and the seventh transistor T7 are turned on. The voltage of the first node N1 is reset to the second initial voltage Vinit2 provided by the second initial signal line INIT2, and the voltage of the fourth node N4 is reset to the first initial voltage Vinit1 provided by the first initial signal line INIT1. The second initial signal line INIT2 inputs an initial signal to the first node N1, and the first initial signal terminal Vinit1 inputs an initial signal to the second pole of the sixth transistor T6. The high-level signal of the light-emitting signal line EM turns off the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6. In this stage, the light-emitting element EL does not emit light.
[0074] In the compensation stage t2: The first scan signal line G1 outputs a low-level signal, and the second scan signal line G2 outputs a high-level signal. The fourth transistor T4 and the second transistor T2 are turned on. In this stage, since the first node N1 is at a low level, the third transistor T3 is turned on. At the same time, the data signal line Da outputs a data driving signal, and the data driving signal is provided to the first node N1 through the turned-on fourth transistor T4, the second node N2, the turned-on third transistor T3, the third node N3, and the turned-on second transistor T2 to write a voltage Vdata + Vth to the first node N1, where Vdata is the voltage of the data driving signal and Vth is the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3 (driving transistor).
[0075] In the light-emitting stage t3: The light-emitting signal line EM outputs a low-level signal. The sixth transistor T6 and the fifth transistor T5 are turned on. The power supply voltage output by the first power supply line VDD provides a driving voltage to the first pole (i.e., the fourth node N4) of the light-emitting element EL through the turned-on fifth transistor T5, the third transistor T3, and the sixth transistor T6, driving the light-emitting element EL to emit light. It should be understood that Figure 3 The pixel driving circuit shown may also have other driving methods. For example, the seventh transistor T7 may be turned on in the compensation stage t2, etc.
[0076] During the driving process of the pixel driving circuit, the driving current flowing through the third transistor T3 (i.e., the driving transistor) is determined by the voltage difference between its gate electrode and the first pole. Since the voltage of the first node N1 is Vdata + Vth, the driving current of the third transistor T3 is:
[0077] I = K * (Vgs - Vth) 2 = K * [(Vdata + Vth - Vdd) - Vth] 2 = K * [(Vdata - Vdd)] 2
[0078] Among them, I is the driving current flowing through the third transistor T3, which is also the driving current for driving the light-emitting element EL. K is a constant, Vgs is the voltage difference between the gate electrode and the first electrode of the third transistor T3, Vth is the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3, Vdata is the voltage of the data driving signal output by the data signal line Data, and Vdd is the power supply voltage output by the first power supply terminal VDD.
[0079] As can be seen from the above formula, the current I flowing through the light-emitting element EL is independent of the threshold voltage Vth of the third transistor T3, eliminating the influence of the threshold voltage Vth of the third transistor T3 on the current I and ensuring the uniformity of brightness.
[0080] Based on the above working timing, the pixel driving circuit eliminates the residual positive charge after the light-emitting element EL last emitted light, realizes the compensation of the gate voltage of the third transistor, avoids the influence of the threshold voltage drift of the third transistor on the driving current of the light-emitting element EL, and improves the uniformity of the displayed image and the display quality of the display panel.
[0081] The pixel driving circuit of the present disclosure embodiment can adjust the reset voltage of the light-emitting element EL and the reset voltage of the first node N1 respectively by initializing the fourth node N4 to the signal of the first initialization signal line INIT1 and initializing the fifth node N5 to the signal of the second initialization signal line INIT2, so as to achieve a better display effect and improve problems such as low-frequency flicker.
[0082] Two types of semiconductors, LTPS and oxide, have attracted much attention in the display industry. Each has its own advantages and is equally good. LTPS has the advantages of high mobility and fast charging, while oxide has the advantage of low leakage current. If the advantages of these two materials can be combined to form a Low Temperature Polycrystalline Oxide (LTPO) product, the user experience of the display product will be greatly improved. However, due to the relatively large differences in the preparation processes of LTPS and oxide, that is, there is a problem of difficult process compatibility, and the process stability is difficult to guarantee.
[0083] In order to supplement hydrogen elements to the LTPS polysilicon (p-Si) channel, the hydrogen content in the LTPS related film layers is relatively high. However, the hydrogen elements in the LTPS related film layers will diffuse upward through the annealing process, thereby affecting the characteristics of the oxide transistor. In some related technologies, in order to prevent excessive hydrogen from deteriorating the characteristics of the oxide transistor, the related technology sets a buffer layer between the LTPS related film layer and the oxide film layer. The buffer layer uses a silicon oxide (SiO) film with low hydrogen content and relatively high density. On the one hand, the high density can block the diffusion of hydrogen elements in the LTPS related film layers. On the other hand, the low hydrogen content can reduce the influence of hydrogen elements on the characteristics of the oxide transistor.
[0084] However, due to the high content of hydrogen in the LTPS-related film layer, even with the buffer layer as a barrier, hydrogen may still diffuse upward to the IGZO channel through the annealing process. In addition, since the buffer layer needs to be formed with a higher nitrous oxide (N2O) or lower silicon tetrahydride (SiH4) gas flow rate to increase the density of the film, there are more oxygen defects in the buffer layer film, which are not easy to neutralize through the annealing process. There are more oxygen defects at the interface between the IGZO channel and the buffer layer. When the gate electrode of the oxide transistor is applied with a forward bias, the oxygen defects will capture electrons, reducing the number of carriers in the channel, which in turn causes the threshold voltage (Vth) to drift forward, affecting the stability of the oxide transistor device.
[0085] It is precisely because of the compatibility issue between the hydrogen replenishing process of LTPS transistors and the low hydrogen process of oxide transistors in LTPO products that how to simultaneously ensure the characteristics of LTPS transistors and oxide transistors in LTPO products has become a technical development problem for LTPO products.
[0086] Figure 5a is a schematic diagram of a planar structure of a display substrate according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 5b for Figure 5a The cross-sectional view in the BB direction is as follows: Figure 5a and Figure 5b As shown, in a plane perpendicular to the display substrate, the display substrate includes a polysilicon transistor layer, a first interlayer insulating layer 941, a first hydrogen barrier layer, a second buffer layer 944 and an oxide transistor layer sequentially arranged on a substrate, wherein:
[0087] The polysilicon transistor layer includes an active layer and a gate electrode of a plurality of polysilicon transistors, and the oxide transistor layer includes an active layer and a gate electrode of a plurality of oxide transistors;
[0088] The hydrogen element content of the first interlayer insulating layer 941 is greater than that of the first hydrogen-blocking layer, or the atomic ratio of silicon element to oxygen element of the first hydrogen-blocking layer is greater than that of the second buffer layer 944.
[0089] For the display substrate according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, by disposing the first interlayer insulating layer 941, the first hydrogen-blocking layer, and the second buffer layer 944 between the polysilicon transistor layer and the oxide transistor layer, the influence of the hydrogen element in the polysilicon transistor layer on the oxide transistor layer is reduced, ensuring the stability of the polysilicon transistor and oxide transistor devices. In addition, the manufacturing process of the present disclosure can be well compatible with the existing manufacturing process, with simple process implementation, easy to implement, high production efficiency, low production cost, and high yield.
[0090] In some exemplary embodiments, the first hydrogen-blocking layer includes a second interlayer insulating layer 942, wherein the atomic ratio of silicon element to nitrogen element of the first interlayer insulating layer 941 is greater than that of the second interlayer insulating layer 942 and less than twice that of the second interlayer insulating layer 942.
[0091] Exemplarily, the atomic ratio of silicon element to nitrogen element of the second interlayer insulating layer 942 is between 0.7 and 0.8.
[0092] In some exemplary embodiments, the Si-H bond content of the second interlayer insulating layer 942 is 2 to 5 times that of the first interlayer insulating layer 941.
[0093] Exemplarily, the Si-H bond content of the second interlayer insulating layer 942 is 1% to 3%.
[0094] In some exemplary embodiments, the refractive index of the second interlayer insulating layer 942 is between 1.8 and 1.9.
[0095] In some exemplary embodiments, the stress of the second interlayer insulating layer 942 is controlled between -200 Mpa and 400 Mpa, and the N-H bond content is 5% to 10%.
[0096] In some exemplary embodiments, the atomic ratio of silicon element to nitrogen element of the first interlayer insulating layer 941 is between 1.1 and 1.2.
[0097] In some exemplary embodiments, the Si-H bond content of the first interlayer insulating layer 941 is 5% to 15%.
[0098] In some exemplary embodiments, the refractive index of the first interlayer insulating layer 941 is between 1.9 and 2.0.
[0099] In some exemplary embodiments, the stress of the first interlayer insulating layer 941 is controlled between -100 Mpa and 100 Mpa, and the nitrogen-hydrogen bond content is 5% to 15%.
[0100] In some exemplary embodiments, the thickness of the first interlayer insulating layer 941 is about 100 nm, and the material used is a silicon nitride (SiN) thin film with a relatively high hydrogen element content. The first interlayer insulating layer 941 can play a role in supplementing hydrogen elements to the polysilicon transistor layer.
[0101] In some exemplary embodiments, the thickness of the second interlayer insulating layer 942 is about 50 nm to 100 nm, and the material used is a silicon nitride (SiN) thin film with a relatively low hydrogen element content. The second interlayer insulating layer 942 has two functions. First, the SiN thin film has good compactness, and the highly compact second interlayer insulating layer 942 can block the upward diffusion of hydrogen elements in the first interlayer insulating layer to the IGZO channel. Second, the hydrogen element content of the second interlayer insulating layer 942 is relatively low, thereby reducing the number of upward-diffusing hydrogen elements and improving the stability of the Oxide transistor.
[0102] In some exemplary embodiments, the first hydrogen barrier layer includes a first buffer layer 943, wherein the atomic ratio of silicon to oxygen in the first buffer layer 943 is greater than that in the second buffer layer 944 and less than twice that in the second buffer layer 944.
[0103] Exemplarily, the atomic ratio of silicon to oxygen in the first buffer layer 943 is between 1.1 and 1.2.
[0104] In some exemplary embodiments, the thickness of the first buffer layer 943 is about 50 nm to 200 nm, and the material used is a relatively highly compact silicon oxide (SiO) thin film. The first buffer layer 943 plays a role in blocking the diffusion of hydrogen elements in the underlying first interlayer insulating layer 941 and second interlayer insulating layer 942. When forming the first buffer layer, a relatively high nitrous oxide (N2O) or a relatively low silane (SiH4) gas flow rate is required to increase the compactness of the thin film.
[0105] In some exemplary embodiments, when the first buffer layer 943 is formed, the gas flow ratio of N2O:SiH4 is generally 60:1 to 90:1, and the film quality is relatively dense. The film denseness is defined as follows: its wet etching rate is less than 10 nm / min (the concentration of hydrofluoric acid HF is 0.5%), and the O2 release amount measured by a Thermal Desorption Spectroscopy (TDS) is in the range of 6E14 to 9E14 molec / cm2, where molec / cm2 represents the number of molecules per square centimeter, and its NOx release amount is less than 5E14 molec / cm2, as Figure 5c and Figure 5d shown, Figure 5c and Figure 5d the abscissas of both are temperature, and the ordinates of both are release amounts. The position of the Si-O bond measured by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) is at 1065 - 1070 cm-1, where cm-1 is the number of wave numbers contained in 1 centimeter, as Figure 5e shown, Figure 5e the abscissa of which is wave number, and the ordinate is absorbance.
[0106] In some exemplary embodiments, the thickness of the second buffer layer 944 is about 100 nm to 200 nm, and the material used is a silicon oxide (SiO) thin film with relatively low denseness. The film denseness of the second buffer layer 944 is poorer than that of the first buffer layer 943. When the second buffer layer 944 is formed, a relatively lower nitrous oxide (N2O) or a relatively higher silane (SiH4) gas flow is used compared to the first buffer layer 943. By this method, the oxygen defects in the second buffer layer 944 thin film are reduced, and further the oxygen defects at the interface between the IGZO channel and the first buffer layer 943 are reduced, improving the stability of the Oxide transistor device.
[0107] In some exemplary embodiments, when the second buffer layer 944 is formed, the gas flow ratio of N2O:SiH4 is generally 20:1 to 60:1, and the oxygen defects in the thin film are relatively few. The film defects are defined as follows: the thin film of SiO2 is tested by Electron Spin Resonance (ESR), and its thin film NOx defect state is less than 1E18 spins / cm3, as Figure 5f shown, Figure 5f the abscissa of which is the g factor, and the ordinate is the defect state.
[0108] In some exemplary embodiments, the first hydrogen-blocking layer includes a second interlayer insulating layer 942 and a first buffer layer 943 disposed on the second interlayer insulating layer 942, wherein the atomic ratio of silicon to nitrogen in the second interlayer insulating layer 942 is between 0.7 and 0.8, and the atomic ratio of silicon to oxygen in the first buffer layer 943 is between 1.1 and 1.2.
[0109] In some exemplary embodiments, the display substrate further includes a fourth conductive layer on the oxide transistor layer and a second hydrogen-blocking layer covering the fourth conductive layer, wherein:
[0110] The fourth conductive layer includes the first and second poles of a plurality of polysilicon transistors and the first and second poles of a plurality of oxide transistors, and the second hydrogen-blocking layer includes a first passivation layer 971 and a second passivation layer 972 disposed on the first passivation layer 971. The hydrogen element content in the first passivation layer 971 is lower than that in the second passivation layer 972, and the atomic ratio of silicon to oxygen in the second passivation layer 972 is higher than that in the first passivation layer 971.
[0111] In some exemplary embodiments, the material of the first passivation layer 971 is silicon oxide, and the material of the second passivation layer 972 is silicon nitride.
[0112] In the related art, the passivation layer (PVX) generally uses a silicon oxide (SiO) thin film instead of a silicon nitride (SiN) thin film because the hydrogen element content in the silicon oxide thin film is less than that in the silicon nitride thin film and will not affect the characteristics of Oxide transistors. However, the film compactness of silicon oxide is relatively poor, and the hydrogen element in the subsequent evaporation and encapsulation (EVEN) process may still affect the characteristics of Oxide transistors. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the passivation layer uses a double-layer structure, namely, the first passivation layer 971 and the second passivation layer 972. The first passivation layer 971 uses a silicon oxide thin film. The hydrogen element content in the silicon oxide thin film is small. On the one hand, it will not affect the characteristics of Oxide transistors. On the other hand, it can block the downward diffusion of hydrogen elements in the upper silicon nitride thin film and thus affect the characteristics of Oxide transistors. The second passivation layer 972 uses a silicon nitride thin film with a lower hydrogen element content. On the one hand, it avoids excessive downward diffusion of hydrogen elements and affects the characteristics of Oxide transistors. On the other hand, the film compactness of the silicon nitride thin film of the second passivation layer 972 is higher than that of the silicon oxide thin film of the first passivation layer, which can block the influence of hydrogen elements in the subsequent EVEN process on the characteristics of Oxide transistors, thereby improving the stability of Oxide transistors.

First, the SiN film has good compactness, and the highly compact second interlayer insulating layer 942 can block the upward diffusion of hydrogen elements in the first interlayer insulating layer 941 to the IGZO channel. Second, the hydrogen element content of the second interlayer insulating layer 942 is low, thereby reducing the number of upward diffused hydrogen elements and improving the stability of the Oxide transistor.
[0142] In some exemplary embodiments, the atomic ratio of silicon to nitrogen in the first interlayer insulating layer 941 is greater than the atomic ratio of silicon to nitrogen in the second interlayer insulating layer 942 and less than twice the atomic ratio of silicon to nitrogen in the second interlayer insulating layer 942.
[0143] In some exemplary embodiments, the atomic ratio of silicon to nitrogen in the first interlayer insulating layer 941 is between 1.1 and 1.2.
[0144] In some exemplary embodiments, the Si-H bond content of the second interlayer insulating layer 942 is 2 to 5 times that of the Si-H bond content of the first interlayer insulating layer 941.
[0145] In some exemplary embodiments, the Si-H bond content of the first interlayer insulating layer 941 is 5% to 15%, and the refractive index is between 1.9 and 2.0.
[0146] In some exemplary embodiments, the stress of the first interlayer insulating layer 941 is controlled between -100 Mpa and 100 Mpa, and the N-H bond content is 5% to 15%.
[0147] In some exemplary embodiments, the atomic ratio of silicon element to nitrogen element in the second interlayer insulating layer 942 is between 0.7 and 0.8.
[0148] In some exemplary embodiments, the Si-H bond content of the second interlayer insulating layer 942 is 1% to 3%, and the refractive index is between 1.8 and 1.9.

[0150] As Figure 8b shown, in a plane perpendicular to the substrate, the first insulating layer 91 is disposed on the substrate 10, the semiconductor layer is disposed on the first insulating layer 91, the second insulating layer 92 covers the semiconductor layer, the first conductive layer is disposed on the second insulating layer 92, the third insulating layer 93 covers the first conductive layer, the second conductive layer is disposed on the third insulating layer 93, the first interlayer insulating layer 941 covers the second conductive layer, and the second interlayer insulating layer 942 covers the first interlayer insulating layer 941.
[0151] (14) Form a second semiconductor layer pattern. In an exemplary embodiment, forming the second semiconductor layer pattern may include: sequentially depositing a sixth insulating film, a seventh insulating film, and a second semiconductor film on the substrate on which the foregoing pattern is formed, and patterning the second semiconductor film through a patterning process to form a first buffer layer (Buffer-1) 943 covering the substrate, a second buffer layer (Buffer-2) 944 covering the first buffer layer 943, and a second semiconductor layer disposed on the second buffer layer 944, as Figure 9a and Figure 9b shown, Figure 9b is Figure 9a a cross-sectional view taken along the line B-B in
[0152] Among them, the sixth insulating film is a SiO film with a thickness of 50 nm to 200 nm and relatively high density. The first buffer layer 943 functions to block the diffusion of hydrogen elements in the underlying first interlayer insulating layer 941 and second interlayer insulating layer 942. When forming the first buffer layer 943, a relatively high N2O or a relatively low SiH4 gas flow rate is required to increase the density of the film. The film density of the seventh insulating film can be worse than that of the sixth insulating film. Compared with the formation of the first buffer layer 943, when forming the second buffer layer 944, a relatively low N2O or a relatively high SiH4 gas flow rate is used. By this method, the oxygen defects in the second buffer layer 944 are reduced, and further the oxygen defects at the interface between the subsequently formed IGZO channel and the second buffer layer 944 are reduced, improving the stability of the subsequently formed Oxide transistor device.
[0153] In some exemplary embodiments, the atomic ratio of silicon element to oxygen element in the first buffer layer 943 is greater than that in the second buffer layer 944 and less than twice that in the second buffer layer 944.
[0154] In some exemplary embodiments, the atomic ratio of silicon element to oxygen element in the first buffer layer 943 is between 1.1 and 1.2.
[0155] In some exemplary embodiments, the first buffer layer 943 has a thickness of about 50 nm to 200 nm and is made of a relatively high-density silicon oxide (SiO) film. The first buffer layer 943 functions to block the diffusion of hydrogen elements in the underlying first interlayer insulating layer and second interlayer insulating layer. When forming the first buffer layer 943, a relatively high nitrous oxide (N2O) or a relatively low silane (SiH4) gas flow rate is required to increase the density of the film.
[0156] In some exemplary embodiments, when forming the first buffer layer 943, the gas flow ratio of N2O:SiH4 is generally 60:1 to 90:1, and the film quality is relatively dense. The film density is defined as follows: its wet etching rate is less than 10 nm / min (0.5% HF), the NOx release amount measured by TDS is less than 5E14 molec / cm2, the O2 release amount is between 6E14 and 9E14 molec / cm2, and the Si-O bond position measured by FTIR is at 1065 - 1070 cm-1.
[0157] In some exemplary embodiments, the thickness of the second buffer layer 944 is about 100 nm to 200 nm, and the material used is a silicon oxide (SiO) thin film with relatively low density. The film density of the second buffer layer 944 is poorer than that of the first buffer layer 943. When forming the second buffer layer 944, a relatively lower nitrous oxide (N2O) or a relatively higher silane (SiH4) gas flow rate is used compared to the first buffer layer 943. By this method, the oxygen defects in the second buffer layer 944 thin film are reduced, and further the oxygen defects at the interface between the IGZO channel and the first buffer layer 943 are reduced, improving the stability of the Oxide transistor device.
[0158] In some exemplary embodiments, when forming the second buffer layer 944, the gas flow ratio of N2O:SiH4 is generally 20:1 to 60:1, and the oxygen defects in the thin film are relatively few. The defects of its thin film are defined as follows: For the SiO2 thin film, an ESR test is performed, and the NOx defect state of its thin film is less than 1E18 spins / cm3.

The second region of the first active layer 11 simultaneously serves as the first region of the second active layer 12, and the second region of the second active layer is adjacent to the second region of the third active layer.
[0161] In an exemplary embodiment, the second semiconductor layer may be made of an oxide, that is, the first transistor and the second transistor are oxide thin film transistors.

The second auxiliary signal line 49 is close to the second scan signal line 22 on one side in a second direction Y and has the same signal as the second scan signal line 22. In an exemplary embodiment, the first auxiliary signal line 48 and the first scan signal line 21 may be connected to the same signal source, and the second auxiliary signal line 49 and the second scan signal line 22 may be connected to the same signal source. In an exemplary embodiment, a region where the first auxiliary signal line 48 overlaps with the second active layer serves as a second gate electrode of a second transistor, and a region where the second auxiliary signal line 49 overlaps with the first active layer serves as a first gate electrode of a first transistor.

[0194] In some exemplary embodiments, the material of the first passivation layer 971 is silicon oxide, and the material of the second passivation layer 972 is silicon nitride.
[0195] The passivation layer (PVX) in the related art generally uses a silicon oxide (SiO) film instead of a silicon nitride (SiN) film because the hydrogen element content in the silicon oxide film is less than that in the silicon nitride film and will not affect the characteristics of the Oxide transistor. However, the film density of silicon oxide is relatively poor, and the hydrogen element in the subsequent EVEN process may still affect the characteristics of the Oxide transistor. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the passivation layer uses a double-layer structure, namely, two layers of the first passivation layer 971 and the second passivation layer 972. The first passivation layer 971 uses a silicon oxide film. The hydrogen element content in the silicon oxide film is small. On the one hand, it will not affect the characteristics of the Oxide transistor. On the other hand, it can block the downward diffusion of the hydrogen element in the upper silicon nitride film and thus affect the characteristics of the Oxide transistor. The second passivation layer 972 uses a silicon nitride film with a lower hydrogen element content. On the one hand, it avoids excessive downward diffusion of hydrogen elements and affects the characteristics of the Oxide transistor. On the other hand, the film density of the silicon nitride film of the second passivation layer 972 is higher than that of the silicon oxide film of the first passivation layer, which can block the influence of hydrogen elements in the subsequent EVEN process on the characteristics of the Oxide transistor, thereby improving the stability of the Oxide transistor.

[0198] As Figure 5a As shown, the data signal line 61 extends along the second direction Y, and the data signal line 61 is connected to the eighth connection electrode 56 through the twenty-first via V21. Since the eighth connection electrode 56 is connected to the first region of the fourth active layer through the fifth via, the connection between the data signal line 61 and the first pole of the fourth transistor T4 is realized, and the data signal transmitted by the data signal line is written into the fourth transistor T4.
