Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of liquid crystal display, in particular to an oxide array substrate with low parasitic capacitance effect and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the field of liquid crystal display, FFS (Fringe Field Switching) technology is a liquid crystal display technology that makes liquid crystal molecules between electrodes and directly above the electrodes rotate in the plane parallel to the glass substrate through the edge electric field generated between the top strip pixel electrode and the bottom COM electrode (Bottom COM) or the top COM pixel electrode and the bottom strip pixel electrode (Bop COM) on the TFT substrate. The liquid crystal panel using FFS pixel structure has the characteristics of high transmittance, high viewing angle, high contrast, high color gamut, etc., and is the main pixel structure type of current high-end liquid crystal display panel.
[0003] Thin film transistors (Mox-TFT) prepared by metal oxide semiconductor materials have become one of the important development technologies of array substrate in display panel due to their small leakage current, high field effect mobility, good area uniformity and other advantages. The existing array substrate prepared by metal oxide semiconductor materials generally adopts bottom gate structure TFT, such as etching stop layer (ESL), back channel etching (BCE), or top gate structure TFT, such as self-aligned top gate (Self-Top Gate). Different types of TFTs applied in array substrate have their own structural advantages. Back channel etching bottom gate structure TFT has the advantages of simple structure, short process flow, low cost and high yield, but due to the large overlapping area of gate and source / drain in bottom gate structure and the small spacing distance between gate and source / drain only separated by gate insulating layer, the parasitic capacitance between upper and lower metal lines is large, the power consumption is increased, which is not conducive to the development of high resolution and high refresh rate display panel. In the self-aligned top gate TFT structure, there is basically no overlapping area between the gate and the source / drain, and a thicker intermediate insulating layer is provided between the upper and lower metals, so the overall structure has smaller parasitic capacitance. However, the self-aligned top gate TFT structure is relatively complex, and the preparation process is more complicated. In the liquid crystal display panel, an additional light shielding layer is also needed to reduce the light leakage effect of the semiconductor material on the backlight, which is only used as a light shielding layer. The process is time-consuming but the film utilization rate is low, which is not conducive to cost reduction. SUMMARY
