TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of display panel, and particularly relates to a preparation method for improving mobility of an indium gallium zinc oxide thin film transistor. BACKGROUND
[0002] A thin film transistor (TFT) is a kind of field effect transistor, and a basic manufacturing method is to deposit various thin films such as a semiconductor active layer, a dielectric layer and a metal electrode layer on a substrate. According to different materials of the TFT active layer, the TFT technology is mainly divided into the following four types: hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) TFT, low-temperature polysilicon (LTPS) TFT, amorphous metal oxide TFT and organic semiconductor TFT. Among them, the metal oxide TFT represented by indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) is widely favored due to its advantages such as high uniformity in a large area and low-temperature preparation process.
[0003] IGZO is a kind of transparent oxide semiconductor, which is composed of indium (In), gallium (Ga), zinc (Zn) and oxygen (O). It has become a hot spot in research and industry in recent years due to its various excellent electrical and optical properties. At present, IGZO is mainly applied in the field of display technology: the mobility of IGZO is much higher than that of traditional a-Si, so that the pixel refresh speed is faster, so that higher screen refresh rate can be realized; its low leakage characteristic makes the screen can still keep the pixel state without current refresh, thereby greatly reducing the power consumption. In addition to the field of display technology, IGZO also shows great potential in new storage technology, such as the new memory 2T0C DRAM structure, which uses the low leakage characteristic of IGZO to reduce the process complexity and improve the retention time.
[0004] The mobility of IGZO is an important topic of common concern in the scientific research and industrial fields in recent years. For display technology, high mobility can bring higher refresh rate, resolution and color saturation, which is beneficial to produce high-end screens; for storage technology, high mobility can bring lower power consumption, faster speed, and can broaden its application.
[0005] Currently, the main means to improve the mobility of IGZO are: (1) adjusting the proportion of each component in IGZO, but this method needs to make a trade-off between mobility and stability, and it is difficult to greatly improve the mobility under the premise of meeting the normal performance of the transistor; (2) post-processing method: the mobility of IGZO is improved by annealing and other post-processing methods, but the performance of the device will degrade in the subsequent process; (3) forming crystals: the temperature for forming crystals is relatively high (> 600℃), which is not suitable for the display field and the subsequent process, and the use range is relatively limited, and after the transition from amorphous state to polycrystalline state, the mobility may even decrease due to the influence of the grain boundary.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0035] The following describes a method for fabricating an indium gallium zinc oxide thin-film transistor to improve mobility, according to an embodiment of the present invention, with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0036] Figure 1 This is a schematic flowchart of a method for improving the mobility of indium gallium zinc oxide thin-film transistors provided in an embodiment of the present invention.
[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the fabrication method for improving the mobility of indium gallium zinc oxide thin-film transistors includes the following steps:
[0038] In step S101, a gate metal thin film is formed on the target substrate, and the gate metal thin film is patterned to obtain a patterned gate metal as the back gate of the target transistor.
[0039] In some embodiments, a gate metal thin film is formed on a target substrate, and the gate metal thin film is patterned to obtain a patterned gate metal as the back gate of the target transistor, including:
[0040] A gate metal thin film is formed by evaporating gate metal, or gate metal and an adhesion layer, or gate metal and an adhesion layer of gate and gate oxide, or gate metal, an adhesion layer and an adhesion layer of gate and gate oxide on a target substrate using photolithography and electron beam.
[0041] The gate metal film is peeled off to form a patterned gate metal, which is then used as the back gate of the target transistor; or
[0042] A gate metal thin film is formed on a target substrate by forming a gate metal film, or a gate metal and an adhesion layer, or a gate metal and an adhesion layer of gate and gate oxide, or a gate metal, an adhesion layer and an adhesion layer of gate and gate oxide.
[0043] The gate metal film is photolithographically and etched to form a patterned gate metal, which is then used as the back gate of the target transistor.
[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, in the actual execution process, 15nm Pd / 10nm Ti / 1nm Ti films are deposited on the target substrate using photolithography and electron beam deposition to form a gate metal film. The gate metal film is then peeled off to form a patterned gate metal, which serves as the back gate of the target transistor. The 15nm Pd is the gate metal, which is mandatory and can be of other thicknesses; it can be made of materials other than Pd, such as Ti, Mo, TiN, Pt, etc. The 10nm Ti is the adhesion layer, which can be absent or of other thicknesses, and can be made of Ti or other adhesion layer materials such as TaN. The 1nm Ti is the adhesion layer between the gate and gate oxide, which can be absent or of other thicknesses, and can be made of Ti or other materials such as Al.
[0045] In addition to the photolithography-lift process mentioned above, the patterning of the gate metal thin film can also be achieved using a growth-etching process. That is, the gate metal embodied in the above material is first grown, then photolithography is performed, followed by etching (including plasma etching) 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 the gate oxide layer of the target transistor.
[0047] In some embodiments, forming a metal oxide on the back gate includes:
[0048] Metal oxides are generated on a back grid using atomic layer deposition, plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition, or plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition, wherein the metal oxides are at least one of hafnium dioxide and aluminum oxide.
[0049] like Figure 2 As shown, in the actual execution process, 10nm HfO2 is grown using atomic layer deposition (ALD) as the gate oxide layer of the target transistor, and the HfO2 on the gate of the target transistor is etched away using inductively coupled plasma (ICP) etching to expose the gate metal for subsequent interconnection and form the gate oxide layer of the target transistor.
[0050] The metal oxide for the back gate can be 10nm HfO2, or other thicknesses, or other materials such as Al2O3, or combinations thereof, such as 10nm Al2O3 + 5nm HfO2. The growth method can be ALD, plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD), etc.
[0051] In step S103, indium gallium zinc oxide is grown on the gate oxide layer with gate metal to use the indium gallium zinc oxide as the active layer of the target transistor.
[0052] In some embodiments, indium gallium zinc oxide is grown on a gate oxide layer with gate metal to serve as the active layer of the target transistor, including:
[0053] Indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) is grown on a gate oxide layer with gate metal using atomic layer deposition (ALD) to serve as the active layer of the target transistor; or

[0056] It should be noted that, in addition to IGZO, other materials such as indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) or combinations of materials such as 5nm IGZO + 2nm InO + 5nm IGZO can also be used.
[0057] In step S104, a source / drain metal thin film is deposited on the active layer and patterned to obtain patterned source / drain metal as the drain / source metal of the target transistor.
[0058] In some embodiments, a source / drain metal thin film is deposited on the active layer, and the source / drain metal thin film is patterned to obtain patterned source / drain metal as the drain / source metal of the target transistor, including:
[0059] Source / drain metals and protective metals are deposited on the active layer by photolithography and electron beam to form a source / drain metal thin film;
[0060] The source / drain metal film is peeled off to form patterned source / drain metal, which is then used as the drain / source metal of the target transistor; or
[0061] Source / drain metals and protective metals are deposited on the active layer to form a source / drain metal thin film;
[0062] The source and drain metal films are photolithographically and etched to form patterned source and drain metals, which are then used as the source and drain metals of the target transistor.
[0063] In actual implementation, as shown in Figure 2 , 20nm Ti / 45nm Pd is evaporated on the active layer by means of photolithography and electron beam to form source-drain metal film, and then the source-drain metal film is patterned by lift-off to form the source and the 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. 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, the patterning of the source-drain metal can also use the growth-etching process, that is, the source-drain metal represented by the above-mentioned material is first grown, then photolithography is performed, and then etching (including plasma etching, etc.) is used to form patterned source-drain metal as the source-drain metal of the target transistor.
[0065] In step S105, the channel region of indium gallium zinc oxide is defined by photolithography, and the indium gallium zinc oxide outside the channel region is etched by wet or dry etching to isolate the channel region.
[0066] In actual implementation, as shown in Figure 2 , the channel region of IGZO is defined by photolithography, and the IGZO outside the channel region is etched by wet or dry etching to achieve channel isolation.
[0067] In step S106, yttrium metal is grown on the source-drain metal by means of magnetron sputtering process, and the yttrium metal is annealed at a preset temperature to obtain the cover layer of the target transistor.
[0068] In some embodiments, the preset temperature is 100-250°C.
[0069] In actual implementation, as shown in Figure 2 and 3 , 2nm yttrium (Y) is grown by means of magnetron sputtering process, and then annealed at 200°C in air for 5min to obtain the cover layer of the target transistor, so as to prepare a back-gate field effect transistor stacked by metal layer / insulating layer / semiconductor layer in the vertical direction, that is, 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, and 2nm Y can use other thicknesses, and the material can be replaced by Al, etc. The annealing condition can use other temperature and other time length, and the temperature can be lower than 200°C.
[0071] Further, as shown in Figure 4As shown, the embodiment of the present application performs a transfer characteristic test on the prepared target transistor, and it can be seen from the figure that the mobility of the IGZO TFT device with the Y covering layer is 7 times that of the device baseline without the covering layer.
[0072] In summary, according to the preparation method for improving the mobility of an indium gallium zinc oxide thin film transistor provided by the embodiment of the present application, a layer of metal is first grown by using a physical vapor deposition (PVD) method (evaporation or sputtering), and then proper annealing is performed, in which the covering metal absorbs oxygen from the IGZO channel and injects electrons, thereby improving the carrier concentration in the channel and improving the effective mobility of the transistor. The method not only has low process complexity, can be prepared in a large area, and can realize a large improvement in the mobility of the IGZO TFT at a low temperature (< 200 DEG C), but also maintains the original characteristics of the transistor and is suitable for a wider range of applications.
