Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of display panels, and in particular to a preparation method for improving the mobility of indium gallium zinc oxide thin film transistors. Background Art

[0002] Thin Film Transistor (TFT) is a field effect transistor. The basic manufacturing method is to deposit various thin films on a substrate, such as a semiconductor active layer, a dielectric layer, and a metal electrode layer. According to the different materials of the TFT active layer, TFT technology is mainly divided into the following four types: hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) TFT, low temperature polycrystalline silicon (LTPS) TFT, amorphous metal oxide TFT, and organic semiconductor TFT. Among them, metal oxide TFT, represented by indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO), has been widely favored for its advantages such as high uniformity over a large area and low temperature preparation process.

[0003] IGZO is a transparent oxide semiconductor composed of indium (In), gallium (Ga), zinc (Zn) and oxygen (O). It has become a hot topic in research and industry in recent years due to its many excellent electrical and optical properties. At present, IGZO is mainly used in the field of display technology: the mobility of IGZO is much higher than that of traditional a-Si, which makes the pixel refresh speed faster, thereby achieving a higher screen refresh rate; its low leakage characteristics allow the screen to maintain the pixel state without current refresh, thereby greatly reducing power consumption. In addition to the field of display technology, IGZO also shows great potential in new storage technologies. For example, the new memory 2T0C DRAM structure uses the low leakage characteristics of IGZO to reduce process complexity and improve retention time.

[0004] The mobility of IGZO has been an important topic of common concern in the scientific research and industry in recent years. For display technology, high mobility can bring higher refresh rate, resolution and color saturation, which is conducive to the production of high-end screens; for storage technology, high mobility can bring lower power consumption, faster speed, and can broaden its application.

[0005] At present, the main methods to improve the mobility of IGZO are: (1) adjusting the proportion of each component in IGZO, but this method requires a compromise between mobility and stability, and it is difficult to significantly improve the mobility while meeting the normal performance of the transistor; (2) post-processing method: the mobility of IGZO can be improved through post-processing methods such as annealing, but the device will subsequently experience performance degradation; (3) crystallization: the temperature for crystallization is relatively high (>600°C), which is not suitable for the display field and post-processing. The scope of use is relatively limited, and after the transition from amorphous state to polycrystalline state, the mobility may even decrease due to the influence of grain boundaries. Summary of the invention

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0035] The following describes a method for improving the mobility of an indium gallium zinc oxide thin film transistor according to an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] Figure 1 A schematic flow chart of a method for improving the mobility of an indium gallium zinc oxide thin film transistor provided in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the preparation method for improving the mobility of indium gallium zinc oxide thin film transistors includes the following steps:

[0038] In step S101, a gate metal film is formed on a target substrate, and the gate metal film is patterned to obtain a patterned gate metal as a back gate of a target transistor.

[0039] In some embodiments, forming a gate metal film on a target substrate and patterning the gate metal film to obtain a patterned gate metal as a back gate of a target transistor includes:

[0040] By photolithography and electron beam evaporation, a gate metal, or a gate metal and an adhesion layer, or a gate metal and an adhesion layer of a gate and gate oxide, or a gate metal, an adhesion layer, and an adhesion layer of a gate and gate oxide are formed on a target substrate to form a gate metal film;

[0041] The gate metal film is stripped to form a patterned gate metal, and the patterned gate metal is used as the back gate of the target transistor; or

[0042] Generating a gate metal, or a gate metal and an adhesion layer, or a gate metal and an adhesion layer of a gate and a gate oxide, or a gate metal, an adhesion layer, and an adhesion layer of a gate and a gate oxide on a target substrate to form a gate metal film;

[0043] The gate metal film is photolithographically processed and etched to form a patterned gate metal, and the patterned gate metal is used as the back gate of the target transistor.

[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, in the actual implementation process, 15nmPd / 10nmTi / 1nmTi ​​is evaporated on the target substrate by photolithography and electron beam to form a gate metal film, and then the gate metal film is peeled off to form a patterned gate metal as the back gate of the target transistor. Among them, 15nmPd is the gate metal, which must be included and can be other thicknesses. In addition to Pd, it can also be other materials, such as Ti, Mo, TiN, Pt, etc. 10nmTi is an adhesion layer, which can be absent or of other thicknesses. The material can be Ti or TaN and other adhesion layer materials. 1nmTi ​​is the adhesion layer between the gate and the gate oxide, which can be absent or of other thicknesses. The material can be Ti or other materials such as Al.

[0045] In addition, in addition to the above-mentioned photolithography-stripping process, the patterning of the gate metal film can also adopt a growth-etching process, that is, first grow the gate metal embodied by the above-mentioned material, then photolithography, and then use etching (including plasma etching, etc.) to form a patterned gate metal as the back gate of the target transistor.

[0046] In step S102, a metal oxide is generated on the back gate, and the metal oxide on the gate of the target transistor is etched using inductively coupled plasma to form a gate oxide layer of the target transistor.

[0047] In some embodiments, forming a metal oxide on a back gate includes:

[0048] Atomic layer deposition, plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition or plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition is used to generate metal oxide on the back gate, wherein the metal oxide is at least one of hafnium dioxide and aluminum oxide.

[0049] like Figure 2 As shown, in the actual implementation process, the atomic layer deposition method ALD is used to grow 10nm HfO2 as the gate oxide layer of the target transistor, and the HfO2 on the gate of the target transistor is etched away using the inductively coupled plasma method ICP etching to expose the gate metal for subsequent interconnection and form the gate oxide layer of the target transistor.

[0050] Among them, the metal oxide of the back gate can be 10nm HfO2, other thicknesses, other materials, such as Al2O3, etc., or their combinations, such as 10nm Al2O3+5nm HfO2, and the growth method can be ALD, plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition method PECVD, plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition method PEALD, etc.

[0051] In step S103, indium gallium zinc oxide is grown on the gate oxide layer with the gate metal, so that the indium gallium zinc oxide is used as an active layer of the target transistor.

[0052] In some embodiments, growing indium gallium zinc oxide on a gate oxide layer with a gate metal so as to use the indium gallium zinc oxide as an active layer of a target transistor includes:

[0053] Growing indium gallium zinc oxide on a gate oxide layer with a gate metal by atomic layer deposition to use the indium gallium zinc oxide as an active layer of a target transistor; or

[0054] Indium gallium zinc oxide is grown on a gate oxide layer with a gate metal by plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition and sputtering, so as to use the indium gallium zinc oxide as an active layer of a target transistor.

[0055] like Figure 2 As shown, in the actual implementation process, the ALD method can be used to grow 10nm IGZO on the gate oxide layer with gate metal as the active layer of the target transistor; the PEALD method and sputtering technology can also be used to grow 10nm IGZO on the gate oxide layer with gate metal, or other thicknesses can be used as the active layer of the target transistor.

[0056] It should be noted that, in addition to IGZO materials, other materials such as indium gallium zinc oxide such as IGO, or material combinations, such as 5nm IGZO+2nm InO+5nm IGZO, may also be used.

[0057] In step S104, a source-drain metal film is evaporated on the active layer, and the source-drain metal film is patterned to obtain patterned source-drain metals as drain-source metals of the target transistor.

[0058] In some embodiments, a source-drain metal film is evaporated on the active layer, and the source-drain metal film is patterned to obtain a patterned source-drain metal as a drain-source metal of a target transistor, including:

[0059] By using photolithography and electron beam to evaporate source and drain metal and protective metal on the active layer, a source and drain metal film is formed;

[0060] Stripping the source-drain metal film to form a patterned source-drain metal, and using the patterned source-drain metal as the drain-source metal of the target transistor; or

[0061] Generating evaporated source-drain metal and protective metal on the active layer to form a source-drain metal film;

[0062] The source-drain metal film is photolithographically processed and etched to form patterned source-drain metal, and the patterned source-drain metal is used as the drain-source metal of the target transistor.

[0063] In the actual implementation process, Figure 2 As shown, 20nm Ti / 45nm Pd is evaporated on the active layer by photolithography and electron beam to form a source-drain metal film, and then the source-drain metal film is stripped to form a pattern as the source and drain of the target transistor. Among them, 20nm Ti is used as the source-drain contact metal of IGZO, and other thicknesses can be used, and the material can be replaced by Mo, TiN, ITO, etc., and 45nm Pd is used as a protective metal, and other thicknesses can be used, and the material can be replaced by Pt, etc.

[0064] In addition, in addition to the above-mentioned photolithography-stripping process, the patterning of the source and drain metal can also adopt a growth-etching process, that is, first grow the source and drain metal embodied by the above-mentioned material, then photolithography, and then use etching (including plasma etching, etc.) to form a patterned source and drain metal as the drain source metal of the target transistor.

[0065] In step S105 , a channel region of the indium gallium zinc oxide is defined by photolithography, and the indium gallium zinc oxide outside the channel region is etched by a wet method or a dry method to isolate the channel region.

[0066] In the actual implementation process, Figure 2 As shown, the channel region of IGZO is defined by photolithography, and the IGZO outside the channel region is etched by wet or dry method to achieve channel isolation.

[0067] In step S106, a yttrium metal is grown on the drain-source metal by using a magnetron sputtering process, and the yttrium metal is annealed at a preset temperature to obtain a capping layer of the target transistor.

[0068] In some embodiments, the preset temperature is 100°C-250°C.

[0069] In the actual implementation process, Figure 2 and 3 As shown, 2 nm of yttrium (Y) is grown by magnetron sputtering process, and then annealed at 200°C in air for 5 minutes to obtain the covering layer of the target transistor, thereby preparing a back-gate field effect transistor composed of a metal layer / insulating layer / semiconductor layer stacked in the vertical direction, i.e., the target transistor.

[0070] It should be noted that in addition to the magnetron sputtering process, other PVD methods such as evaporation can also be used for the growth method. The 2nm Y can have other thicknesses, the material can be replaced with Al, etc., the annealing conditions can use other temperatures and other durations, and the temperature can be lower than 200°C.

[0071] Furthermore, if Figure 4As shown, the transfer characteristics test of the target transistor prepared in the embodiment of the present invention is carried out. It can be seen from the figure that the mobility of the IGZO TFT device with the Y covering layer is improved by 7 times compared with the device baseline without the covering layer.

[0072] In summary, according to the preparation method for improving the mobility of indium gallium zinc oxide thin film transistors proposed in an embodiment of the present invention, a layer of metal is first grown by physical vapor deposition PVD (evaporation or sputtering), and then appropriate annealing is performed. During the annealing, the covered metal absorbs oxygen from the IGZO channel and injects electrons, thereby increasing the carrier concentration in the channel, thereby improving the effective mobility of the transistor. Not only is the process complexity low, large-area preparation is possible, and a significant improvement in the mobility of IGZO TFTs can be achieved at low temperatures (<200°C), the original characteristics of the transistor are maintained, and the application scenarios are wider.
