[0070] Thin Film Transistor (TFT) has attracted more and more attention for its excellent electrical and mechanical properties. The display matrix driving circuit layer of the active matrix organic light emitting diode panel (Active Matrix / Organic Light Emitting Diode, AMOLD) is composed of a series of TFTs with different structures and different functional requirements. In order to improve the display requirements of AMOLD, it is necessary to ensure that different TFTs can meet the circuit working requirements at the same time. The TFT sizes required by different products are different. In traditional technology, under the same set of process, it is difficult to achieve the goal of each TFT device meeting the circuit working requirements at the same time through a single process and TFT size design adjustment. Different types of TFTs need to be designed with different sizes and process adjustments.
[0071] In view of this, the embodiment of the present application provides a method for determining parameter information of a thin film transistor, a preparation method and a display panel. The method for determining parameter information of a thin film transistor includes obtaining design parameters of the thin film transistor; the design parameters include at least one of a threshold voltage, a channel width, a channel length and a preparation process coefficient; according to the design parameters and the design relationship corresponding to the thin film transistor, the target parameter information is determined; the design relationship represents the correlation between the threshold voltage, the channel width, the channel length and the preparation process coefficient. Using the method provided by the present application, the preparation process coefficient and size of the thin film transistor, that is, the correlation between the channel width and the channel length, can be determined by the design relationship corresponding to the thin film transistor, so that the size of the thin film transistor can be adjusted according to the different preparation process coefficients, so that the thin film transistor can meet the circuit working requirements. Corresponding to different types of thin film transistors, there are corresponding design relationships, and corresponding to different types of thin film transistors, the size that can meet the circuit working requirements can be determined according to the corresponding relationship, so that different types of thin film transistors can meet the circuit working requirements, and then the display panel can meet the circuit working requirements and improve the display effect of the display panel.
[0072] See also Figure 1The present application embodiment provides a method for determining parameter information of a thin film transistor, and the present embodiment uses the method applied to a computer device as an example. In the present embodiment, the steps of the method include:
[0073] Step 100, obtaining design parameters of the thin film transistor; the design parameters include at least one of a threshold voltage, a channel width, a channel length, a ratio of the channel width to the channel length, and a manufacturing process coefficient.
[0074] The design parameters of thin film transistors refer to the parameters required to ensure that thin film transistors can work normally during the design process of thin film transistors, as well as the parameters required when preparing thin film transistors. Design parameters may include threshold voltage, channel width, channel length, the ratio of channel width to channel length, and manufacturing process coefficients. The threshold voltage refers to the voltage that needs to be applied to the gate when a clear conductive channel begins to form between the source and drain of the thin film transistor. The channel length refers to the actual length of the conductive channel between the source and drain in the thin film transistor structure. The channel width refers to the lateral width dimension occupied by the conductive channel perpendicular to the direction of carrier flow. The manufacturing process coefficient refers to the condition coefficient corresponding to the manufacturing process used when preparing thin film transistors. Different manufacturing process coefficients represent different manufacturing processes.
[0075] The design parameters of the thin film transistor can be pre-set by the user according to the actual application. The design parameters of the thin film transistor can be input by the user, and the computer device obtains it in response to the user's input. The design parameters of the thin film transistor can also be pre-stored in the memory of the computer device, and the computer device directly obtains it from the memory. The design parameters of the thin film transistor obtained by the computer device can be any one of the threshold voltage, channel width, channel length, the ratio of channel width to channel length, and the manufacturing process coefficient, or any two or any three of the threshold voltage, channel width, channel length, the ratio of channel width to channel length, and the manufacturing process coefficient. This embodiment does not limit the specific method of obtaining the design parameters of the thin film transistor, as long as its function can be achieved.
[0076] Step 110, determining target parameter information according to the design parameters and the design relationship corresponding to the thin film transistor; the design relationship represents the correlation between the threshold voltage, the channel width, the channel length, the ratio of the channel width to the channel length, and the manufacturing process coefficient.
[0077] The design relationship corresponding to the thin film transistor can be established based on the threshold voltage, channel width, channel length, ratio of channel width to channel length and manufacturing process coefficient of the thin film transistor, and is used to characterize the relationship between the threshold voltage, channel width, channel length, ratio of channel width to channel length and manufacturing process coefficient of the thin film transistor. The design relationship corresponding to the thin film transistor can be preset by the user and stored in the memory of the computer device.
[0078] After obtaining the design parameters of the thin film transistor, the computer device obtains the corresponding design relationship from the memory, and the target parameter information can be determined according to the design parameters and the corresponding design relationship. The target parameter information can be the value of other design parameters in addition to the obtained design parameters, or the association relationship between other design parameters in addition to the obtained design parameters. This embodiment does not limit the determined target parameter information.

In this way, the manufacturing process coefficient and size of the thin film transistor, that is, the correlation between the channel width and the channel length, can be determined by the design relationship corresponding to the thin film transistor, so that the size of the thin film transistor can be adjusted according to the different manufacturing process coefficients, so that the thin film transistor can meet the circuit working requirements. Different types of thin film transistors have corresponding design relationships, and the corresponding different types of thin film transistors can determine the size that can meet the circuit working requirements according to the corresponding relationship, so that different types of thin film transistors can meet the circuit working requirements, and then the display panel can meet the circuit working requirements and improve the display effect of the display panel.

That is, after obtaining the design parameters, the computer device inputs the design parameters into the first equation, the second equation, and the third equation, and by solving the first equation, the second equation, and the third equation, the target parameter information can be determined.
