Interstitial oxygen refers to additional oxygen atoms in the lattice interstitial, usually introduced by processes such as high-temperature oxidation or ion implantation, and its presence will change the local electron cloud distribution. Before the re-oxidation process, the reason why the first oxide semiconductor layer 101 contains intermittent oxygen is that the oxygen partial pressure in the sputtering atmosphere is relatively large during the preparation process.

According to one embodiment, the material of the second oxide semiconductor layer 102 may include an oxide semiconductor material, such as indium gallium oxide (InGaO), indium zinc oxide (InZnO), gallium sesquioxide (Ga2O3), gallium zinc oxide (GaZnO), indium sesquioxide (In2O3).

According to one embodiment, the first oxide semiconductor layer 301 may be formed by, for example, a physical vapor deposition process. According to one embodiment, the material of the first oxide semiconductor layer 301 may include an oxide semiconductor material, such as InGaO, InZnO, InSnO, In2O3, InZnSnO, etc., and its thickness may be 20 - 40 nm. According to one embodiment, during the deposition process of the first oxide semiconductor layer 301, the flow rate ratio of argon to oxygen is less than 1. Figure 3 As shown in (b) of FIG. 4, a first oxide semiconductor layer 301 is deposited above the substrate 303. According to one embodiment, the first oxide semiconductor layer 301 may be formed by, for example, a physical vapor deposition process.

[0037] Optionally, Step 203: As shown in (c) of FIG. 4, the interface of the first oxide semiconductor layer 301 is subjected to plasma treatment. The plasma treatment may be performed using hydrogen plasma, oxygen plasma, and fluorine plasma. During the plasma treatment modification process, excessive power may lead to an increase in defects at the interface. Therefore, the power of the plasma treatment is set at 10 W - 50 W. Figure 3 As shown in (c) of FIG. 4, the interface of the first oxide semiconductor layer 301 is subjected to plasma treatment. The plasma treatment may be performed using hydrogen plasma, oxygen plasma, and fluorine plasma. During the plasma treatment modification process, excessive power may lead to an increase in defects at the interface. Therefore, the power of the plasma treatment is set at 10 W - 50 W.
[0038] Step 204: As shown in (d) of FIG. 4, a second oxide semiconductor layer 302 is deposited above the first oxide semiconductor layer 301. According to one embodiment, the second oxide semiconductor layer 302 may be formed by, for example, an atomic layer deposition process. According to one embodiment, the temperature of the deposition process of the second oxide semiconductor layer 302 may be 150°C - 250°C. The atomic layer deposition process is that the metal element precursor is oxidized to form the metal element oxide. However, there are some non-ideal processes during the oxidation process, the metal and oxygen combine weakly, and oxygen escapes during the deposition process, resulting in more oxygen vacancies in the oxide grown by atomic layer deposition. According to one embodiment, the material of the second oxide semiconductor layer 302 may include an oxide semiconductor material, such as InGaO, InZnO, Ga2O3, GaZnO, In2O3, etc., and its thickness may be 2 - 10 nm.

According to one embodiment, the temperature of the deposition process of the second oxide semiconductor layer 302 may be 150°C - 250°C. The atomic layer deposition process is that the metal element precursor is oxidized to form the metal element oxide. However, there are some non-ideal processes during the oxidation process, the metal and oxygen combine weakly, and oxygen escapes during the deposition process, resulting in more oxygen vacancies in the oxide grown by atomic layer deposition.

[0041] According to an embodiment, during the process of forming the second oxide semiconductor layer 402 by atomic layer deposition method, re-oxidation will occur. The specific principle of re-oxidation is as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown.
[0042] According to an embodiment, there are oxygen vacancies in the second oxide semiconductor layer 402. Oxygen vacancies are vacancies formed by the absence of oxygen atoms in the lattice and are widely present in metal oxides. Oxygen vacancies change the oxidation state of the material by reducing the oxygen coordination number.
[0043] According to an embodiment, there is interstitial oxygen (Oi) in the first oxide semiconductor layer 401. Interstitial oxygen refers to extra oxygen atoms in the lattice interstitial, usually introduced by processes such as high oxygen partial pressure in the sputtering atmosphere or ion implantation, and its presence will change the local electron cloud distribution.
[0044] According to an embodiment, during the growth of the second oxide semiconductor layer 402, the interstitial oxygen in the first oxide semiconductor layer 401 can re-oxidize the oxygen vacancies in the second oxide semiconductor layer 402, playing a role in repair and greatly reducing the oxygen vacancy concentration in the second oxide semiconductor layer 402. This process is called the re-oxidation process. The semiconductor active layer structure after re-oxidation is as Figure 5 shown.
[0045] According to an embodiment, during the growth of the second oxide semiconductor layer 402, the interstitial oxygen is constantly lost, and the growth process of the second oxide semiconductor layer 402 is slow, so the first oxide semiconductor layer 401 needs to provide enough interstitial oxygen. Therefore, the first oxide semiconductor layer 401 is thicker, and its thickness can be 20 - 40 nm. The second oxide semiconductor layer 402 is thinner, and its thickness can be 2 - 10 nm.
[0046] According to an embodiment, during the plasma treatment modification process of step 203 above, hydrogen, oxygen or fluorine plasma is implanted into the first oxide semiconductor layer, and the anions therein will participate in the subsequent re-oxidation process. These anions have the same effect as interstitial oxygen and can repair oxygen vacancies, making the repair effect of the re-oxidation process better.
[0047] According to one embodiment, if the second oxide semiconductor layer 402 is formed by physical vapor deposition, re-oxidation needs to be completed during the subsequent annealing process.

According to one embodiment, during the deposition process of the first oxide semiconductor layer 701, the flow rate ratio of argon to oxygen is less than 1.
[0051] Optionally, Step 603: As shown in (c) of Figure 7 , perform plasma treatment on the interface of the first oxide semiconductor layer 701. The plasma treatment can be carried out using hydrogen plasma, oxygen plasma, and fluorine plasma. During the plasma treatment process, too high power will lead to an increase in defects at the interface, so the power of the plasma treatment is set at 10 W - 50 W.
[0052] Step 604: As shown in (d) of Figure 7 , deposit a second oxide semiconductor layer 702 above the first oxide semiconductor layer 701. According to one embodiment, the second oxide semiconductor layer 702 can be formed by, for example, a physical vapor deposition process. According to one embodiment, the material of the second oxide semiconductor layer 702 can include an oxide semiconductor material, such as InGaO, InZnO, Ga2O3, GaZnO, In2O3, etc., and its thickness can be 2 - 10 nm.

According to one embodiment, the material of the third oxide semiconductor layer 902 can include an oxide semiconductor material, such as InGaO, InZnO, Ga2O3, GaZnO, In2O3, etc., and its thickness can be 2 - 10 nm.
[0057] Optionally, Step 803: As shown in (c) of Figure 9 , perform plasma treatment on the interface of the third oxide semiconductor layer 902. The plasma treatment can be carried out using hydrogen plasma, oxygen plasma, and fluorine plasma. During the plasma treatment, too high power will cause an increase in defects at the interface, so the power of the plasma treatment is set at 10 W - 50 W.
[0058] Step 804: As shown in (d) of Figure 9 , deposit a fourth oxide semiconductor layer 901 above the third oxide semiconductor layer 902. According to one embodiment, the fourth oxide semiconductor layer 901 can be formed by, for example, a physical vapor deposition process. According to one embodiment, the material of the fourth oxide semiconductor layer 901 can include an oxide semiconductor material, such as InGaO, InZnO, InSnO, In2O3, InZnSnO, etc., and its thickness can be 20 - 40 nm. According to one embodiment, during the deposition of the fourth oxide semiconductor layer 901, the flow ratio of argon to oxygen is less than 1.
[0059] Step 805: Anneal the structure formed by the above process. According to one embodiment, the annealing temperature can be 300 °C - 400 °C.
[0060] Due to the adoption of the active layer structure of the present application, the situation where the threshold voltage is damaged due to the original oxygen vacancy defects in the material with a higher mobility is alleviated, and it can be used to realize a high-mobility device with a normal threshold voltage.
