Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of photoelectric detection, and in particular to a detection substrate and a flat panel detector. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the continuous development of X-ray digital imaging technology, the X-ray flat panel detector (FPXD) can directly convert X-ray images into digital images, and has broad application prospects in the fields of medical treatment, security and protection, and industrial detection.
[0003] The X-ray flat panel detector includes a detection substrate, and the detection substrate includes a plurality of thin film transistors (TFT) and a plurality of PIN photodiodes. At present, the thin film transistor is mostly an amorphous silicon (a-Si) thin film transistor, but the carrier mobility of the amorphous silicon thin film transistor is low and cannot meet the requirements of a dynamic X-ray flat panel detector. The carrier mobility of an IGZO (Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide) thin film transistor is between 5 and 20, which can meet the requirements of the use scenarios.
[0004] However, IGZO is a metal oxide and is very sensitive to hydrogen atoms (H Plasma) with high reducibility. When related film layers (for example, a silicon nitride layer) and PIN photodiodes are manufactured, hydrogen atoms will diffuse to the IGZO thin film transistor; the penetration of excessive H atoms into the a-IGZO active layer will have a great influence on the characteristics of the TFT. Under x-ray irradiation, the hydrogen atoms in the IGZO will be converted into shallow donor states, and the increase in hydrogen shallow donors will cause the conductivity of the TFT device to rise, the leakage current to rise, and the TFT characteristic curve to be left biased, thereby making the stability of the TFT poor and further affecting the performance of the flat panel detector.

[0092] Figure 1 A structural schematic diagram of a detection substrate provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, Figure 2 A structural schematic diagram of a region in which a detection pixel unit is located in the embodiments of the present disclosure, Figure 3a A structural schematic diagram of a detection substrate provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, Figure 2 A structural schematic diagram of forming a sacrificial layer on the side of the thin film transistor away from the substrate in the embodiments of the present disclosure, Figure 3b A structural schematic diagram of a detection substrate provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, Figure 2 A structural schematic diagram of forming a third passivation layer on the side of the photoelectric conversion part away from the substrate in the embodiments of the present disclosure, Figure 3c A structural schematic diagram of forming a dielectric layer on the side of the third passivation layer away from the substrate, Figure 4 A structural schematic diagram of a detection substrate provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, Figure 2Fig. 1 is a schematic view of a cross section along A-A' direction; as shown in the figure, the detection substrate comprises a substrate 1 and a plurality of detection pixel units Pix arranged in an array on the substrate 1. Figures 1-4
[0093] The detection pixel unit Pix comprises a thin film transistor 3 and a photoelectric conversion part 2 located on the side of the thin film transistor 3 away from the substrate 1, and the photoelectric conversion part 2 is provided with a bias voltage line 4 on the side away from the substrate 1.
[0094] The thin film transistor 3 comprises an active layer 302, a first electrode 303 and a second electrode 304, the active layer 302 comprises a channel region 30 and electrode contact regions located on both sides of the channel region 30, and the first electrode 303 and the second electrode 304 are respectively in contact with the electrode contact regions located on both sides of the channel region 30 to realize electrical connection with the active layer 302.
[0095] The photoelectric conversion part 2 is electrically connected to the second electrode 304 on the end close to the substrate 1, and the photoelectric conversion part 2 is electrically connected to the corresponding bias voltage line 4 on the end away from the substrate 1.
[0096] At least one dielectric layer is provided between the photoelectric conversion part 2 and the bias voltage line 4, a first via hole 6 is formed on the dielectric layer, and at least part of the projection of the channel region 30 on the substrate 1 is located within the projection of the first via hole 6 on the substrate 1; that is, the first via hole 6 and the channel region 30 overlap in the direction perpendicular to the substrate 1.
[0097] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first via hole 6 is provided in at least one dielectric layer above the channel region 30 of the thin film transistor 3, and the first via hole 6 and the channel region 30 overlap in the direction perpendicular to the substrate 1. Based on this pixel design, in the later high-temperature annealing process, it is beneficial to release hydrogen atoms in the channel region 30 outward, that is, the content of hydrogen atoms in the channel region 30 can be effectively reduced, thereby effectively reducing the conductivity of the thin film transistor 3 in the off state, preventing the channel region 30 from being conductive, and enhancing the stability of the thin film transistor 3.
[0098] In some embodiments, preferably, the projection of the channel region 30 on the substrate 1 is located within the projection of the first via hole 6 on the substrate 1; that is, the projection of the first via hole 6 on the substrate 1 can completely cover the projection of the channel region 30 on the substrate 1, which is beneficial to release hydrogen atoms in the channel region 30 outward.
[0099] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the material of the substrate 1 is not limited; the material of the substrate 1 can include a rigid material, such as glass; or it can also include a flexible material, such as polyimide (PI).
[0100] In the thin film transistor 3 described above, the first electrode 303 and the second electrode 304 can be a drain and a source, respectively, and their functions can be interchanged according to the type of the thin film transistor 3 and the input signal, which is not specifically distinguished here. For example, if the thin film transistor 3 is an N-type thin film transistor 3, the first electrode 303 can be a drain, and the second electrode 304 can be a source. If the thin film transistor 3 is a P-type thin film transistor 3, the first electrode 303 can be a source, and the second electrode 304 can be a drain.
[0101] The thin film transistor 3 can further include a gate 301. The thin film transistor 3 can be a bottom-gate type thin film transistor 3 (the gate 301 is located on the side of the active layer 302 close to the substrate 1) as shown in FIG. 1, or can also be a top-gate type thin film transistor 3 (the gate 301 is located on the side of the active layer 302 away from the substrate 1, which is not given a corresponding figure), which is not limited here. It should be noted that since the gate 301 in the top-gate type thin film transistor 3 is located above the channel region 30, the gate 301 will block the movement of hydrogen atoms in the channel region 30 to the first via 6, which is not conducive to the release of hydrogen atoms in the channel region 30. Therefore, the bottom-gate type thin film transistor 3 is preferred in the present disclosure. Figure 4
[0102] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the materials of the first electrode 303, the second electrode 304, and the gate 301 in the thin film transistor 3 can include metals such as molybdenum, aluminum, silver, copper, titanium, platinum, tungsten, etc., and can also include other conductive materials such as metal alloys, which can be selected according to actual requirements.
[0103] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the active layer 302 in the thin film transistor 3 can adopt a metal oxide type semiconductor material. The metal oxide type thin film transistor 3 has the characteristics of high carrier mobility and fast switching speed, and is suitable for detecting a substrate. In some embodiments, the material of the active layer 302 includes at least one of indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO), indium tin zinc oxide (ITZO), gallium indium tin oxide (GITO), and indium gallium zinc tin oxide (IGZTO).
[0104] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the photoelectric conversion part 2 can convert light energy into electrical energy, and the specific structure of the photoelectric conversion part 2 is not limited. Referring to FIG. 2, the photoelectric conversion part 2 can include a photodiode 201, a readout integrated circuit (ROIC) 202, and a readout circuit 203. Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the photoelectric conversion unit 2 may include a read electrode 201, a photoelectric conversion structure 202 and a conductive electrode 203. The conductive electrode 203 is located on the side of the read electrode 201 away from the substrate 1, and the photoelectric conversion structure 202 is located between the read electrode 201 and the conductive electrode 203.
[0105] In this disclosure, the photoelectric conversion unit 2 can be a PIN photodiode. The photoelectric conversion structure 202 may include a first doped layer, an intrinsic layer, and a second doped layer sequentially stacked on the read electrode 201, wherein the polarities of the first doped layer and the second doped layer are opposite; the first doped layer is in contact with the read electrode 201, and the second doped layer 152 is in contact with the conductive electrode 203.
[0106] The first and second doped layers described above may each include N-type or P-type impurities. The intrinsic layer described above does not contain impurities. The thickness of the intrinsic layer may be greater than the thickness of the first and second doped layers.
[0107] If the first doped layer includes N-type impurities and the second doped layer includes P-type impurities, then the first doped layer is an N-type semiconductor layer and the second doped layer is a P-type semiconductor layer. In this case, a negative bias voltage can be applied to the second doped layer through the bias electrode and the conductive electrode 203. If the first doped layer includes P-type impurities and the second doped layer includes N-type impurities, then the first doped layer is a P-type semiconductor layer and the second doped layer is an N-type semiconductor layer. In this case, a positive bias voltage can be applied to the second doped layer through the bias electrode and the conductive electrode 203.
[0108] In some embodiments, the conductive electrode 203 is a transparent electrode, which may be made of transparent metal oxides such as indium tin oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide (IZO), and gallium zinc oxide (GZO); the reading electrode 201 is a metal electrode, which may be made of metal materials or alloy materials such as copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), and titanium (Ti).
[0109] See Figure 2 , Figure 3b as well as Figure 3c As shown, in some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the channel region 30 on the substrate 1 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the photoelectric conversion section 3 on the substrate 1. That is, there is no portion of the photoelectric conversion section 3 located directly above the channel region; this design effectively reduces the amount of hydrogen atoms diffusing into the channel region during the fabrication process of the photoelectric conversion section 3.
[0110] In some embodiments, the material of the read electrode 201 comprises a metal material; the orthographic projection of the layer structure where the read electrode 201 is located on the substrate 1 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the channel region 30 on the substrate 1; by this design, the read electrode 201 can effectively avoid adversely affecting the process of the channel region 30 releasing hydrogen atoms outward through the first via 6.
[0111] Since the orthographic projection of the layer structure where the read electrode 201 is located on the substrate 1 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the channel region 30 on the substrate 1, that is, the read electrode does not cover the channel region 30, external light can irradiate the channel region 30, thereby causing the electrical characteristics of the thin film transistor 3 to deviate. To solve this problem, further, in some embodiments, the material of the bias voltage line 4 comprises a metal material, and the orthographic projection of the channel region 30 on the substrate 1 is located within the orthographic projection of the bias voltage line 4 on the substrate. That is, the part of the bias voltage line 4 covering the channel region 30 can play a role in shading light, which can avoid the problem of light irradiating the channel region 30 of the thin film transistor 3 and causing the electrical characteristics of the thin film transistor 3 to deviate.
[0112] The detection substrate provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to an X-ray flat panel detector. The X-ray flat panel detector can be a direct conversion type (Direct DR) detector, or can also be an indirect conversion type (Indirect DR) detector, which is not limited here. Among them, the indirect conversion type X-ray flat panel detector technology is relatively mature, the cost is relatively low, the detection quantum efficiency (Detective Quantum Efficiency, DQE) is high, and the reliability is good, so it has been widely developed and applied. The display principle of the indirect conversion type X-ray flat panel detector is: under X-ray irradiation, the scintillator layer or the fluorescent layer of the indirect conversion type X-ray flat panel detector converts X-ray photons into visible light, and then converts the visible light into an electrical signal under the action of the photoelectric conversion unit 2. Finally, the electrical signal is read by the thin film transistor 3 and outputted to obtain a display image.
[0113] Of course, the above detection substrate can also be applied to other products using metal oxide thin film transistors 3. After the metal oxide thin film transistor 3 of such products is manufactured, there is a high hydrogen, high water, high oxygen, and other sensitizing environment in the subsequent process. By using the above detection substrate, the metal oxide thin film transistor 3 can be protected as much as possible to avoid being reduced, so as to improve the stability of the metal oxide thin film transistor 3.

The second organic layer 5 can serve as insulation and planarization to facilitate the preparation of subsequent film layers.

In some embodiments, the material of the second organic layer 5 can include polyacrylic resin, polyepoxy acrylic resin, polyester acrylate, polyurethane acrylate resin, or the like organic resin material.

[0117] In the process of the photoelectric conversion unit 2 and the process of various passivation layers after the process of the sacrificial layer 10, a large amount of hydrogen atoms will be generated, which will penetrate towards the thin film transistor 3 below. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, by arranging the sacrificial layer 10 between the thin film transistor 3 and the photoelectric conversion unit 2, the sacrificial layer 10 can chemically react with the hydrogen atoms generated in the subsequent processes, thereby playing a role of consuming and blocking the hydrogen atoms, and further preventing the hydrogen atoms from penetrating to the thin film transistor 3. Therefore, the arrangement of the sacrificial layer 10 can reduce the content of hydrogen atoms in the channel region 30 to a certain extent, thereby effectively reducing the conductivity of the thin film transistor 3 in the off state, preventing the channel region 30 from being conductorized, and greatly improving the stability of the thin film transistor 3. Preferably, the orthographic projection of the channel region 30 on the substrate 1 is completely located within the orthographic projection of the sacrificial layer 10 on the substrate 1, at which time the blocking effect of the sacrificial layer 10 on the hydrogen atoms penetrating towards the channel region 30 is better.
[0118] In some embodiments, the material of the sacrificial layer 10 includes any one of indium zinc oxide (IZO), indium tin oxide (ITO), indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO), indium tin zinc oxide (ITZO), and indium gallium tin oxide (GITO). The sacrificial layer 10 is more likely to react with hydrogen atoms and can consume more hydrogen atoms to play a role of protecting the thin film transistor 3.
[0119] As an optional embodiment, the sacrificial layer 10 is in contact with the photoelectric conversion unit 2 at one end close to the substrate 1, and the sacrificial layers 10 in different detection pixel units Pix are insulated from each other. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, since the sacrificial layer 10 is electrically connected with the photoelectric conversion unit 2, no capacitance will be generated between them. At the same time, the sacrificial layers 10 of each detection pixel unit Pix are independent and insulated from each other, thereby avoiding the influence of the sacrificial layers 10 of different detection pixel units Pix on each other, and further solving the signal crosstalk problem, and further improving the product performance.
[0120] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the orthogonal projection of the bias voltage line 4 on the substrate 1 completely covers the orthogonal projection of the channel region 30 on the substrate 1, the orthogonal projection of the sacrificial layer 10 on the substrate 1 at least partially covers the orthogonal projection of the channel region 30 on the substrate 1, and the orthogonal projection of the first via 6 on the substrate 1 partially covers the orthogonal projection of the channel region 30 on the substrate 1, which can easily cause the bias voltage line 4 to contact the underlying sacrificial layer 10 through the first via 6, resulting in electrical connection between the bias voltage line 4 and the sacrificial layer 10, and thus causing defects. To solve this problem, a third passivation layer 15 is arranged between the sacrificial layer 10 and the bias voltage line 4, and the orthogonal projection of the first via 6 on the substrate 1 is located within the orthogonal projection of the third passivation layer 15 on the substrate 1. That is, at the bottom of the first via 6, the third passivation layer 15 is used to isolate the bias voltage line 4 from the sacrificial layer 10.
[0121] To minimize the influence of the third passivation layer 15 on the effect of the channel region 30 on the release of hydrogen atoms through the first via 6, the third passivation layer 15 can be made of an insulating material with relatively low density. In some embodiments, the density of the third passivation layer 15 is less than the density of the buffer layer 11, and the density of the third passivation layer 15 is less than the density of the fourth passivation layer 12. Further optionally, the material of the third passivation layer 15 includes silicon oxide, the material of the buffer layer 11 includes silicon nitride, and the material of the fourth passivation layer 12 includes silicon nitride.
[0122] In some embodiments, a first passivation layer 7, a first organic layer 8, and a second passivation layer 9 are further arranged between the thin film transistor 3 and the photoelectric conversion part 2, the first organic layer 8 is located on the side of the first passivation layer 7 away from the substrate 1, and the second passivation layer 9 is located on the side of the first organic layer 8 away from the substrate 1; the sacrificial layer 10 is located between the second passivation layer 9 and the photoelectric conversion part 2. As a specific implementation, the sacrificial layer 10 is located above the passivation layer and contacts the read electrode 201 in the photoelectric conversion part 2.
[0123] In some embodiments, a second via 16 is formed on the first passivation layer 7, the first organic layer 8, and the second passivation layer 9 and communicates with the second electrode 304; the photoelectric conversion part 2 includes a read electrode 201 and a photoelectric conversion structure 202, and the photoelectric conversion structure 202 is located on the side of the read electrode 201 away from the substrate 1; the read electrode 201 contacts the second electrode 304 through the second via 16, and the sacrificial layer 10 does not contact the second electrode 304.
[0124] The first passivation layer 7 covers the thin film transistor 3 and can play a protective and insulating role. The material of the first passivation layer 7 can include silicon nitride, silicon oxide, or silicon oxynitride. The first organic layer 8 is located between the first passivation layer 7 and the sacrificial layer 10, and can play a role of insulation and planarization. The material of the first organic layer 8 can include organic resin materials such as polyacrylic resin, polyepoxy acrylic resin, polyester acrylate, polyurethane acrylate resin, etc. The second insulating layer covers the first organic layer 8 and can also play a protective and insulating role. In addition, the second insulating layer can also improve the bonding firmness between the sacrificial layer 10 and the underlying film layer.
[0125] It should be noted that the sacrificial layer 10 can be arranged only on the side of the first organic layer 8 away from the substrate 1, and not arranged in the second via hole 16; or the sacrificial layer 10 can also extend to the sidewall of the second via hole 16 (in this case, no corresponding figure is given).
[0126] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the reading electrode 201 and the second electrode 304 are both metal electrodes, and the material of the sacrificial layer 10 is an oxide material. The contact resistance between the two metal electrodes is much smaller than the contact resistance between the metal electrode and the oxide layer. Therefore, in the present disclosure, the reading electrode 201 is in contact with the second electrode 304, which can form a smaller contact resistance and is beneficial to signal transmission.
[0127] In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the sacrificial layer 10 on the substrate 1 and the orthographic projection of the second via hole 16 on the substrate 1 do not overlap or partially overlap.
[0128] When the orthographic projection of the sacrificial layer 10 on the substrate 1 and the orthographic projection of the second via hole 16 on the substrate 1 do not overlap, the sacrificial layer 10 can be arranged around the area where the second via hole 16 is located, or the sacrificial layer 10 can also have a hollow structure in the area where the second via hole 16 is located. This structure has a simple manufacturing process and is easy to implement.
[0129] When the orthographic projection of the sacrificial layer 10 on the substrate 1 and the orthographic projection of the second via hole 16 on the substrate 1 partially overlap, the sacrificial layer 10 extends into the second via hole 16. In this structure, the coverage range of the sacrificial layer 10 is larger, and the shielding area is larger, so that the thin film transistor 3 can be protected more comprehensively.
[0130] In some embodiments, at least part of the boundary of the orthographic projection of the reading electrode 201 on the substrate 1 is located within the boundary of the orthographic projection of the sacrificial layer 10 on the substrate 1.
[0131] In the aforementioned detection substrate, a portion of the boundary of the orthogonal projection of the read electrode 201 onto the substrate 1 lies within the boundary of the orthogonal projection of the sacrificial layer 10 onto the substrate 1; or, all the boundaries of the orthogonal projection of the read electrode 201 onto the substrate 1 lie within the boundary of the orthogonal projection of the sacrificial layer 10 onto the substrate 1. Alternatively, all the boundaries of the orthogonal projection of the sacrificial layer 10 onto the substrate 1 may also lie within the boundary of the orthogonal projection of the read electrode 201 onto the substrate 1; or, the boundaries of the orthogonal projection of the read electrode 201 onto the substrate 1 may coincide with the boundaries of the orthogonal projection of the sacrificial layer 10 onto the substrate 1.
[0132] The following sections will explain the two scenarios in detail.
[0133] The first type, reference Figure 6 As shown, the boundary of the orthographic projection of the read electrode 201 on the substrate 1 is located within the boundary of the orthographic projection of the sacrificial layer 10 on the substrate 1. Specifically, the boundary of the orthographic projection of the read electrode 201 on the substrate 1 refers to the outer boundary of the orthographic projection of the read electrode 201 on the substrate 1, and the boundary of the orthographic projection of the sacrificial layer 10 on the substrate 1 refers to the outer boundary of the orthographic projection of the sacrificial layer 10 on the substrate 1.
[0134] In this case, a relatively flat read electrode 201 can be formed, and the photoelectric conversion structure 202 subsequently formed on the read electrode 201 is also relatively flat, which is beneficial to improving the performance of the photoelectric conversion structure 202.
[0135] The second case is where the boundary of the orthogonal projection of the read electrode 201 onto the substrate 1 is located outside the boundary of the orthogonal projection of the sacrificial layer 10 onto the substrate 1 (no corresponding figure is given for this case).
[0136] In this case, the size of the read electrode 201 can be made slightly larger, and the size of the sacrificial layer 10 can be made slightly smaller, which can improve the read speed of the read electrode 201; however, the formed read electrode 201 will form a discontinuity at the edge of the sacrificial layer 10, which is not conducive to the subsequent formation of a flat photoelectric conversion structure 202.
[0137] In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the photoelectric conversion structure 202 on the substrate 1 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the second via 16 on the substrate 1. Therefore, the photoelectric conversion section 2 is not provided within the second via 16. The photoelectric conversion structure 202 can then be disposed around the area where the second via 16 is located, or it can have a hollow structure in the area where the second via 16 is located; this is not limited here. This design is beneficial for forming a flat photoelectric conversion section 2, thereby improving the performance of the photoelectric conversion section 2. Of course, the photoelectric conversion section 2 can also cover the second via 16, which can increase the fill rate, but the bottom of the photoelectric conversion section 2 will be uneven, resulting in poor photoelectric conversion performance.
[0138] In some embodiments, in order to improve the reading efficiency of the reading electrode 201, the boundary of the orthographic projection of the photoelectric conversion structure 202 on the substrate 1 is located within the boundary of the orthographic projection of the reading electrode 201 on the substrate 1. Here, the boundary of the orthographic projection of the photoelectric conversion structure 202 on the substrate 1 refers to the outer boundary of the orthographic projection of the photoelectric conversion structure 202 on the substrate 1, and the boundary of the orthographic projection of the reading electrode 201 on the substrate 1 refers to the outer boundary of the orthographic projection of the reading electrode 201 on the substrate 1.
[0139] It should be noted that the case where the boundary of the orthographic projection of the photoelectric conversion structure 202 on the substrate 1 coincides with the boundary of the orthographic projection of the reading electrode 201 on the substrate 1 also falls within the above-mentioned category.
[0140] In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the conductive electrode 203 on the substrate 1 is located within the orthographic projection of the photoelectric conversion structure 202 on the substrate 1.
[0141] Continuing to refer to Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the detection substrate further includes a plurality of gate lines 21 arranged along a first direction and a plurality of signal reading lines 22 arranged along a second direction. The gate lines 21 and the signal reading lines 22 intersect with each other to form a plurality of pixel regions; wherein the detection pixel unit Pix is located in the pixel region, and the first direction and the second direction intersect. The gate line 21 is electrically connected to at least the gate electrode 301 of the thin film transistor 3 in a row of detection pixel units Pix arranged along the second direction, and the signal reading line 22 is electrically connected to at least the first electrode 303 of the thin film transistor 3 in a row of detection pixel units Pix arranged along the first direction. Figure 1 The first direction is exemplarily taken as the column direction, and the second direction is exemplarily taken as the row direction, and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction, which only serves as an example and does not limit the technical solutions of the present disclosure.
[0142] The gate line 21 can provide a control signal to the gate electrode 301 of the thin film transistor 3 to control the thin film transistor 3 to open or close; the electrical signal converted by the photoelectric conversion unit 2 from the visible light is output through the thin film transistor 3 and transmitted to the processing unit through the signal reading line 22, and the processing unit processes the electrical signal to realize the display of the image.
[0143] It should be noted that the gate line 21 can be disposed in the same layer as the gate electrode 301 of the thin film transistor 3, and the signal reading line 22 can be disposed in the same layer as the first electrode and the second electrode of the thin film transistor 3, so as to reduce the number of patterning processes and reduce the cost. Here, the same layer refers to one-time patterning process. The one-time patterning process refers to a process of forming the required layer structure through one-time film formation and photolithography. The one-time patterning process includes film formation, exposure, development, etching, and stripping, etc.
[0144] In some embodiments, the detecting pixel unit Pix comprises a sacrifice layer 10, a projection of the sacrifice layer 10 on the substrate 1 does not overlap with a projection of the gate line 21 on the substrate 1, and a projection of the sacrifice layer 10 on the substrate 1 does not overlap with a projection of the signal reading line 22 on the substrate 1.
[0145] Continuing to refer to Figure 3a As shown, the sacrifice layer 10 comprises a first part 10a and a second part 10b connected with each other, and the first part 10a protrudes from the second part 10b near the part of the gate line 21 or the signal reading line 22. Figure 3a In the drawings, the first part 10a and the second part 10b are spaced apart by a black dashed line for the purpose of clear distinction, but the dashed line does not exist in practice.
[0146] The line width W1 of the part of the signal reading line 22 near the first part 10a is smaller than the line width W2 of the part of the signal reading line 22 near the second part 10b, and the line width W3 of the part of the gate line 21 near the first part 10a is smaller than the line width W4 of the part of the gate line 21 near the second part 10b.
[0147] Referring to Figure 3a As shown, a projection of the thin film transistor 3 on the substrate 1 is located within a projection of the first part 10a of the sacrifice layer 10 on the substrate 1, and a projection of the second part 10b on the substrate 1 does not overlap with a projection of the thin film transistor 3 on the substrate 1.
[0148] The part of the first part 10a of the sacrifice layer 10 near the gate line 21 or the signal reading line 22 protrudes from the second part 10b, which on one hand can expand the coverage of the sacrifice layer 10 as much as possible without increasing the original design area, and ensure that the projection of the thin film transistor 3 on the substrate 1 is located within the projection of the first part 10a on the substrate 1, so as to protect the whole thin film transistor 3, and on the other hand, can improve the filling rate of the photoelectric conversion unit 2, so as to further improve the detection accuracy.
[0149] The line width will directly affect the resistance of the signal reading line 22 and the gate line 21, and further affect the data transmission rate. The line width design structure of the signal reading line 22 and the gate line 21 can on one hand reduce the influence on the line width of the signal reading line 22 and the gate line 21 as much as possible, so as to ensure the data transmission rate, and on the other hand, can utilize the original design area as much as possible without increasing the design area, so as to ensure the detection accuracy of the detection substrate.

[0154] As shown, unlike the case shown in the foregoing embodiments where the sacrificial layer 10 is located between the second passivation layer 9 and the photoelectric conversion part 2, in the case shown in FIG. 6, the sacrificial layer 10 is located between the first passivation layer 7 and the first organic layer 8.

[0155] As shown, unlike the case shown in the foregoing embodiments where the sacrificial layer 10 is located between the second passivation layer 9 and the photoelectric conversion part 2, in the case shown in FIG. 6, the sacrificial layer 10 is located between the first passivation layer 7 and the first organic layer 8.

[0156] As shown, unlike the case shown in the foregoing embodiments where the sacrificial layer 10 is located between the second passivation layer 9 and the photoelectric conversion part 2, in the case shown in FIG. 6, the sacrificial layer 10 is located between the first passivation layer 7 and the first organic layer 8. Figure 4In the illustrated case, the dielectric layer located between the photoelectric conversion unit 2 and the bias voltage line 4 is specifically the second organic layer 5, on which a third via 17 connecting to the conductive electrode 203 is formed. Figures 5-8 In the case shown, the dielectric layer located between the photoelectric conversion unit 2 and the bias voltage line 4 is specifically a buffer layer 11, an organic layer and a fourth passivation layer 12. At this time, a third via 17 connected to the conductive electrode 203 is formed on the buffer layer 11, the organic layer and the fourth passivation layer 12.
[0157] See Figures 4-8 As shown, in some embodiments, the probe substrate further includes a fifth passivation layer 13 and a third organic layer 14. The fifth passivation layer 13 and the third organic layer 14 serve to encapsulate the probe substrate.

[0159] Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram illustrating another structural feature of the region where a detection pixel unit is located, as described in an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 10a for Figure 9 A schematic diagram of a structure in which a sacrificial layer is formed on the side of a thin-film transistor away from the substrate. Figure 10b for Figure 9 A schematic diagram of a structure in which a photoelectric conversion section is formed on the side of a thin-film transistor away from the substrate. Figure 10c for Figure 9 A schematic diagram of a structure in which a dielectric layer is formed on the side of the photoelectric conversion unit away from the substrate. Figure 11 for Figure 9 A schematic diagram of a cross-section along the B-B' direction. Figure 12 for Figure 9 Another cross-sectional diagram along the B-B' direction, as shown below. Figures 9-12 As shown, with Figure 2 ,Figure 3b 、 Figure 3c In the present embodiment, the orthogonal projection of the channel region 30 on the substrate 1 is located within the orthogonal projection of the photoelectric conversion portion 2 on the substrate 1; that is, the orthogonal projection of the photoelectric conversion portion 2 on the substrate 1 completely covers the channel region 30.
[0160] In some embodiments, the first via 6 for releasing hydrogen atoms in the channel region 30 and the third via 17 for connecting the bias voltage line 4 and the conductive electrode 203 are the same via, and at least part of the orthogonal projection of the channel region 30 on the substrate 1 is located within the orthogonal projection of the via on the substrate 1.
[0161] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the orthogonal projection of the photoelectric conversion portion 2 on the substrate 1 completely covers the channel region 30; that is, the orthogonal projection of the read electrode on the substrate 1 can completely cover the channel region, so that the read electrode can avoid light irradiation to the channel region 30 of the thin film transistor 3, and thus there is no need to use the bias voltage line 4 to cover the channel region 30. Therefore, in order to improve the light emitting area of the pixel region, preferably, the material of the bias voltage line 4 includes a transparent conductive material, such as indium tin oxide, indium zinc oxide, gallium zinc oxide, etc.
[0162] In the case shown in FIG. 6, the areas where the first via 6, the second via 16, and the third via 17 are located in the pixel unit Pix cannot emit light, while in the case shown in FIG. 7, only the area where the second via 16 is located in the pixel unit Pix cannot emit light; therefore, compared with the scheme shown in FIG. 6, the scheme shown in FIG. 7 can effectively improve the light emitting area of the pixel region. Figure 2 Figure 9 It should be noted that, Figure 2 In the case shown in FIG. 6, the thin film transistor 3 is located at the lower right corner of the pixel region, and the second via 16 is located at the lower left corner of the pixel region, which only serves as an exemplary role and does not limit the technical scheme of the present disclosure. Figure 9 Of course, in some embodiments, the case shown in FIG. 7 can also use the sacrificial layer 10 in the foregoing embodiments, and the sacrificial layer 10 is located between the thin film transistor 3 and the photoelectric conversion portion 2; for the position of the sacrificial layer 10, the material, the relative position relationship between the sacrificial layer 10 and the channel region 30, the relative position relationship between the sacrificial layer 10 and the photoelectric conversion portion 2, and the relative position relationship between the sacrificial layer 10 and each via, the corresponding contents in the foregoing embodiments can be referred to, and will not be described herein.
[0163] Figure 9
[0164] Of course, in some embodiments, the case shown in FIG. 7 can also use the sacrificial layer 10 in the foregoing embodiments, and the sacrificial layer 10 is located between the thin film transistor 3 and the photoelectric conversion portion 2; for the position of the sacrificial layer 10, the material, the relative position relationship between the sacrificial layer 10 and the channel region 30, the relative position relationship between the sacrificial layer 10 and the photoelectric conversion portion 2, and the relative position relationship between the sacrificial layer 10 and each via, the corresponding contents in the foregoing embodiments can be referred to, and will not be described herein. Figure 9
[0165] It should be noted that since the first via 6 is located directly above the photoelectric conversion unit 2, even if the sacrificial layer is in contact with the end of the sacrificial layer 10 and the photoelectric conversion unit 2 near the substrate 1, there is no risk that the bias voltage line 4 will contact the sacrificial layer 10 through the first via 6. Therefore, there is no need to provide the third passivation layer in the previous embodiment.
