Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of display technology, specifically to a method for fabricating an array substrate and a method for fabricating a display panel. Background Technology
[0002] Thin film transistors (TFTs) are generally divided into two categories: metal oxide TFTs and silicon-based TFTs. Metal oxide TFTs are widely used in the field of display technology due to their high mobility, simple manufacturing process, low manufacturing cost, and excellent large-area uniformity.

[0048] This application discloses a method for fabricating an array substrate and a method for fabricating a display panel. The method for fabricating the array substrate includes: providing a substrate, the substrate including a first region and a second region that are adjacent and disposed on the same layer; sequentially stacking a first conductive portion, an insulating layer, and a metal oxide active layer on the substrate, and forming an electrode portion on the substrate, wherein the first conductive portion is located in the first region, the electrode portion is located in the second region, and the insulating layer and the metal oxide active layer are both located in the first region and the second region; wherein the electrode portion is insulated from the first conductive portion and the metal oxide active layer; electrically connecting the electrode portion to the metal oxide active layer, and performing an electrochemical oxidation treatment on the metal oxide active layer to form an active portion; forming a second conductive portion on the active portion; and removing the electrode portion.
[0049] In this application, the active part is prepared by electrochemical oxidation treatment. During the electrochemical oxidation process, the cations of oxygen vacancies in the active layer of metal oxide combine with the electrolyzed oxygen, thereby reducing the oxygen vacancies in the active layer of metal oxide. This makes the active part less susceptible to the effects of water, oxygen and negative bias voltage, thus improving the stability of the device.
[0050] This application provides a method for fabricating an array substrate. It includes:
[0051] B11. A substrate is provided, the substrate including a first region and a second region that are adjacent and disposed in the same layer.
[0052] B12. A first conductive portion, an insulating layer, and a metal oxide active layer are sequentially stacked on a substrate, and an electrode portion is formed on the substrate. The first conductive portion is located in a first region, the electrode portion is located in a second region, and the insulating layer and the metal oxide active layer are both located in the first region and the second region.

[0054] B14. A second conductive part is formed on the active part.
[0055] B15. Remove the electrode section.
[0056] The active part is prepared by electrochemical oxidation treatment. During the electrochemical oxidation process, the cations of oxygen vacancies in the active layer of metal oxide combine with the electrolyzed oxygen, thereby reducing the oxygen vacancies in the active layer of metal oxide. This makes the active part less susceptible to the effects of water, oxygen and negative bias voltage, thus improving the stability of the device.
[0057] The specific description is as follows:
[0058] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 Example 1:
[0059] B11. A substrate is provided, the substrate including a first region and a second region that are adjacent and disposed in the same layer.
[0060] Specifically, there are multiple first regions 11 and second regions 12.
[0061] B12. A first conductive portion, an insulating layer, and a metal oxide active layer are sequentially stacked on a substrate, and an electrode portion is formed on the substrate. The first conductive portion is located in a first region, the electrode portion is located in a second region, and the insulating layer and the metal oxide active layer are both located in the first region and the second region. The electrode portion is insulated from the first conductive portion and the metal oxide active layer.
[0062] Please see Figure 3 It should be noted that, Figure 3 Figure (c) in the middle corresponds to Figure 2 (a) in the middle, Figure 3 (d) in the middle corresponds to Figure 2 (b) in the middle Figure 2 Only a portion of the film is shown, but that does not mean it is absent.
[0063] Specifically, a conductive material layer is formed on the substrate 100, and the conductive material layer is patterned to form a first conductive portion 200 and an electrode portion 500 that are co-layered and insulated from each other. The first conductive portion 200 is located in a first region 11. The first conductive portion 200 is a gate electrode. The electrode portion 500 is located in a second region 12. The conductive material layer includes at least one of Al, Ti, and Mo. Optionally, other materials may also be used, which are not limited here.
[0064] Then, an insulating film 700 is formed on the first conductive portion 200 and the electrode portion 500. The insulating film 700 is located in the first region 11 and the second region 12, that is, the insulating film 700 overlaps with the electrode portion 500.
[0065] A metal oxide active layer is formed on the insulating film 700. The metal oxide active layer is located in the first region 11 and the second region 12, that is, the metal oxide active layer overlaps with the electrode portion 500. The metal oxide includes at least one of indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) and indium zinc oxide (IZO). Optionally, other materials may also be used, which are not limited here.
[0066] In this application, the first conductive portion 200 and the electrode portion 500 are formed simultaneously, eliminating the need for separate formation of the first conductive portion 200 and the second electrode portion 500, and thus eliminating the need for an additional photomask. This simplifies the fabrication process of the array substrate 10 and reduces costs. The electrode portion 500 is formed using a structure not part of the transistor during the fabrication of the array substrate 10, allowing full utilization of the structures in the array substrate 10 without affecting the film layers in the transistor, thereby ensuring device performance.
[0067] B13. Electrically connect the electrode section to the active metal oxide layer, and perform electrochemical oxidation treatment on the active metal oxide layer to form the active section.
[0068] Using electrode 500 as the cathode and the metal oxide active layer as the anode, the metal oxide active layer is electrochemically oxidized to form the active part 400. Specifically, the metal oxide active layer and electrode 500 are placed in an electrolyte solution, the metal oxide active layer is connected to the positive terminal of the power supply, and the electrode 500 is connected to the negative terminal of the power supply. Then, an electrochemical oxidation process is performed, and the metal oxide active layer forms the active part 400. At this time, the active part 400 is only located in the first region 11.
[0069] In this application, during the electrochemical oxidation process, the cations of oxygen vacancies in the active layer of the metal oxide combine with the electrolyzed oxygen, thereby reducing the number of oxygen vacancies in the active layer of the metal oxide. This makes the active part 400 less susceptible to the effects of water, oxygen, and negative bias illumination, thus improving the stability of the device.
[0070] In one embodiment, the electrolyte solution is a low-concentration oxalic acid solution, a near-neutral sodium chloride solution, or an ethylene glycol solution, etc. Using a low-concentration oxalic acid solution minimizes damage to the active metal oxide layer, thus ensuring device performance.
[0071] In one embodiment, the voltage applied during the electrochemical oxidation treatment is 10-100 volts. Specifically, the voltage applied during the electrochemical oxidation treatment is 10 volts, 50 volts, 80 volts, 90 volts, or 100 volts, etc.
[0072] In this application, the voltage applied for the electrochemical oxidation process is set to 10-100 volts, which allows control over the proportion of oxygen vacancies inside the active part 400, thereby ensuring the performance of the device.
[0073] In one embodiment, the electrochemical oxidation treatment is performed with voltage for 10-60 minutes. Specifically, the electrochemical oxidation treatment is performed with voltage for 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 40 minutes, or 60 minutes, etc.
[0074] In this application, the time for applying voltage during electrochemical oxidation treatment is set to 10-60 minutes, which allows control over the proportion of oxygen vacancies inside the active part 400, thereby ensuring the performance of the device.
[0075] In another embodiment, the electrolyte solution can also be sprayed onto the metal oxide active layer and the electrode.
[0076] B14. A second conductive part 600 is formed on the active part.
[0077] Specifically, a conductive material is formed on the active portion 400, and a second conductive portion 600 is formed by patterning. At this time, the second conductive portion 600 is only located in the first region 11. The second conductive portion 600 serves as both the source and drain. The first conductive portion 200, the insulating layer 300, the active portion 400, and the second conductive portion 600 constitute a transistor. The transistor is a bottom-gate transistor. The transistor, the electrode portion 500, and the substrate 100 constitute a motherboard.
[0078] B15, Remove electrode section 500.
[0079] The motherboard is placed on a cutting device and cut along the boundary line between the first region 11 and the second region 12 to obtain the array substrate 10. The structure of the array substrate 10 is set on the first region 11.
[0080] Example 2:
[0081] It should be noted that the difference between Example 2 and Example 1 is as follows:
[0082] The electrode portion 500 is not formed synchronously with the first conductive portion 200. The electrode portion 500 is disposed on the insulating layer 300.
[0083] Specifically, in step 12:
[0084] A first conductive portion 200 is formed on the substrate 100. Then, an insulating layer 300 is formed on the first conductive portion 200 and the second region 12. Then, a metal oxide active layer and an electrode portion 500 are formed on the insulating layer 300 and are disposed in the same layer and insulated from each other. The electrode portion 500 is located at least on one side of the metal oxide active layer, that is, the metal oxide active layer covers the electrode portion 500. The rest is the same as in Embodiment 1, and will not be described again here.
[0085] In another embodiment, the electrode portion 500 is disposed around the metal oxide active layer.
[0086] Example 3:

Then, an insulating layer 300 is formed on the first conductive portion 200 and the electrode portion 500. Then, a metal oxide active layer is formed on the insulating layer 300. Then, an insulating film 700 is formed on the metal oxide active layer. Then, steps 13 and 14 are performed. Then, an interlayer dielectric layer 900 is formed on the second conductive portion 600, and the interlayer dielectric layer 900 has through-holes. Then, a third conductive portion 800 is formed on the conductive material in the interlayer dielectric layer 900. The third conductive portion 800 is a source / drain electrode. Then, step 15 is performed. Other aspects are the same as in Embodiment 1, and will not be repeated here.
[0090] Example 4:
[0091] Please see Figure 5 It should be noted that the difference between Embodiment 4 and Embodiment 3 is that the first conductive part 200 is the source and drain, and the second conductive part 600 is the gate.
[0092] Specifically, in step 12:
[0093] A conductive material layer is formed on a substrate 100, and the conductive material layer is patterned to form a first conductive portion 200 and an electrode portion 500 that are co-layered and insulated. Then, an insulating layer 300 is formed on the first conductive portion 200 and the electrode portion 500. Next, a metal oxide active layer is formed on the insulating layer 300, extending into a via and connecting to the first conductive portion 200. Then, an insulating layer 300 is formed on the metal oxide active layer. Then, steps 13-15 are performed. Other aspects are the same as in Embodiment 1 and will not be repeated here.
