[0050] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It will be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are intended only to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings only illustrate portions relevant to the present invention, not all structures.
[0051] To address the low-grayscale crosstalk issue in display panels, a physical barrier layer is required. The barrier effect of this layer depends primarily on its inverted tapered structure, which is currently achieved by developing new materials. Therefore, existing physical barrier layers require the development of new materials to create a tapered structure, resulting in high development costs and hindering widespread adoption.
[0052] Figure 1 A flowchart of a method for preparing a semiconductor structure provided by an embodiment of the present invention is provided. Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a process for preparing a positive photoresist layer according to an embodiment of the present invention is provided. Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the process of preparing a negative photoresist layer provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figures 1-3 , the preparation method of the semiconductor structure specifically includes the following steps:
[0053] S110 , forming a positive photoresist layer 110 on one side of the substrate 100 .
[0054] Among them, the portion of the positive photoresist layer 110 exposed by light can be removed by the developer, while the unexposed positive photoresist layer 110 will not be removed by the developer. The substrate 100 can be a pixel definition layer, and the positive photoresist layer 110 is formed on one side of the substrate 100 so that the positive photoresist layer 110 can be exposed.
[0055] S120 , exposing and developing the positive photoresist layer 110 to form a plurality of positive photoresist structure groups 111 . The positive photoresist structure group 111 includes two positive photoresist structures 112 , with a gap 113 between the two positive photoresist structures 112 .
[0056] Specifically, the process of exposing the positive photoresist layer 110 can use the exposure plate 310 located above the positive photoresist layer 110 to expose the positive photoresist layer 110, and then use the developing solution to develop the positive photoresist layer 110 after exposure, thereby forming a plurality of positive photoresist structure groups 111 in the positive photoresist layer 110. The unexposed area of the positive photoresist structure group 111 includes two positive photoresist structures 112. Due to the difference in process effect between the surface and the bottom of the positive photoresist layer 110, such as less developing agent or photosensitive agent after heating at the bottom of the positive photoresist layer 110, which makes the bottom of the positive photoresist layer 110 more difficult to develop, and the cross section of the positive photoresist structure 112 is a right trapezoid after baking during the developing process. In addition, the two positive photoresist structures 112 have a gap 113 therebetween, and the cross section of the gap 113 is an inverted trapezoid. The gap 113 region can be covered by a negative photoresist layer 210 in the subsequent process, so that after the positive photoresist structure 112 is stripped, a negative photoresist structure with an inverted trapezoidal cross section is formed in the gap 113 region.
[0057] S130, forming a negative photoresist layer 210 covering the gap 113 and the positive photoresist structure 112.
[0058] The characteristics of the negative photoresist layer 210 are that the part exposed by light will not be removed by the developing solution, and the remaining area not exposed by light will be removed by the developing solution.
[0059] Specifically, the negative photoresist layer 210 covering the gap 113 and the positive photoresist structure 112 is formed on the substrate 100 by a coating process, so as to perform the processes of exposure and development on the negative photoresist layer 210.
[0060] S140, exposing and developing the negative photoresist layer 210 to remove part of the negative photoresist layer 210 above the positive photoresist structure 112.
[0061] Specifically, the process of exposing the negative photoresist layer 210 can use the exposure plate 310 located above the negative photoresist layer 210 to expose the negative photoresist layer 210, and then use the developing solution to develop the negative photoresist layer 210 after exposure, thereby removing part of the negative photoresist layer 210 above the positive photoresist structure 112 by the developing solution, and forming a negative photoresist structure 211 with the structure characteristics of a wider top and a narrower bottom.
[0062] S150, stripping the positive photoresist structure 112.
[0063] Specifically, the negative photoresist structure 211 is cured by a curing furnace, and the positive photoresist structure 112 is removed by a stripping liquid, so that only the negative photoresist structure 211 with the structure characteristics of a wider top and a narrower bottom is formed above the substrate 100, and the substrate 100 and the negative photoresist structure 211 together constitute a prepared semiconductor structure. The negative photoresist structure 211 with the structure characteristics of a wider top and a narrower bottom can be used as a physical isolation layer in a display panel, so as to reduce the gray scale crosstalk problem in the display panel, and the preparation of the physical isolation layer can be realized without developing a new material.
[0064] The embodiment of the present application provides a preparation method of a semiconductor structure, which comprises the following steps: forming a positive photoresist layer on one side of a substrate; performing exposure and development on the positive photoresist layer to form a plurality of positive photoresist structure groups, wherein each positive photoresist structure group comprises two positive photoresist structures, and the two positive photoresist structures have a gap therebetween; due to the difference between the surface and bottom of the positive photoresist, the photosensitive agent of the bottom of the positive photoresist is less after heating, and the development is more difficult, so that the cross section of the gap between the two positive photoresist structures is in the shape of an inverted trapezoid; forming a negative photoresist layer covering the gap and the positive photoresist structure; performing exposure and development on the negative photoresist layer to remove part of the negative photoresist layer above the positive photoresist structure; and stripping the positive photoresist structure to form a negative photoresist layer with the structure characteristics of a wider top and a narrower bottom. The preparation of the physical isolation layer can be realized without developing a new material, and the semiconductor structure can be used as the physical isolation layer in the display panel, so as to reduce the low gray scale crosstalk problem in the display panel.
[0065] The embodiment of the present application also provides another preparation method of a semiconductor structure, which comprises the following steps: forming a positive photoresist structure by a substrate preparation; and forming a negative photoresist structure on the basis of the positive photoresist structure, and removing the positive photoresist structure to form a semiconductor structure. Figure 4 The preparation flow chart of the positive photoresist structure provided by the embodiment of the present application is shown in the figure, Figure 4 as shown in the figure, which comprises the following steps:
[0066] S210, a uniform positive photoresist layer 110 is formed on the upper surface of the substrate 100 through a coating process.
[0067] The substrate 100 of the embodiment can comprise multiple layers, as shown in the figure. Figure 2 A uniform positive photoresist layer 110 is formed on the upper surface of the substrate 100 through a coating process.
[0068] S220, the exposure plate 310 is placed above the side of the positive photoresist layer 110 away from the substrate 100, and the positive photoresist layer 110 is exposed by the light source above the exposure plate 310.
[0069] Specifically, reference is made toFigure 2 The exposure plate 310 can be a mask plate that can block light. The exposure plate 310 is placed directly above the positive photoresist layer 110 on the side away from the substrate 100, and the light emitted by the light source above the exposure plate 310 vertically irradiates the exposure plate 310, and the positive photoresist layer 110 is exposed by the light source above the exposure plate 310.
[0070] S230, the exposed positive photoresist layer 110 is developed using a developing solution, and the developed positive photoresist layer 110 has a plurality of unexposed areas that form a plurality of positive photoresist structure groups 111, each of which includes two positive photoresist structures 112 with a gap 113 between them; wherein the cross section of the positive photoresist structure 112 is a right trapezoid, and the cross section of the gap 113 is an inverted trapezoid.
[0071] Specifically, referring to Figure 2 The developing solution can remove the exposed positive photoresist layer 110. During the development of the exposed positive photoresist layer 110 using the developing solution, due to the difference in process effect between the surface and the bottom of the positive photoresist layer 110, such as less photosensitive agent and less easy to develop after heating at the bottom, and subsequent post-development heating of the positive photoresist layer 110, the cross section of the positive photoresist structure 112 formed by the plurality of unexposed areas of the developed positive photoresist layer 110 is a right trapezoid, and the cross section of the gap 113 is an inverted trapezoid, and the inverted trapezoid of the cross section of the gap 113 and the right trapezoid of the cross section of the positive photoresist structure 112 are complementary. The cross section of the gap 113 is an inverted trapezoid, which facilitates the covering of the negative photoresist in the gap 113, and is conducive to the formation of the negative photoresist structure in the subsequent step.
[0072] Figure 5 Another preparation flowchart of a semiconductor structure provided by the embodiment of the present application is shown in Figure 5 , which includes:
[0073] S240, a negative photoresist layer 210 covering the gap 113 and the positive photoresist structure 112 is formed on the upper surface of the positive photoresist structure 110 by a coating process.
[0074] Specifically, referring to Figure 3 A negative photoresist is coated on the upper surface of the positive photoresist structure 110 by a coating process to form a negative photoresist layer 210 covering the gap 113 and the positive photoresist structure 112 on the upper surface of the positive photoresist structure 110.
[0075] S250, the exposure plate 130 is placed above the side of the negative photoresist layer 210 away from the substrate 100, and the projection of the light shielding area of the exposure plate 130 on the substrate 100 overlaps the projection of the upper surface of the positive photoresist structure on the substrate 100, and the negative photoresist layer 210 is exposed by the light source above the exposure plate 130.
[0076] Specifically, referring to Figure 3 , the exposure plate 130 is placed above the side of the negative photoresist layer 210 away from the substrate 100, and the projection of the light shielding area of the exposure plate 130 on the substrate 100 overlaps the projection of the upper surface of the positive photoresist structure on the substrate 100, and the negative photoresist layer 210 is exposed by the light source above the exposure plate 130.
[0077] S260, the exposed negative photoresist layer 210 is developed with a developing solution to form a negative photoresist structure 211 in the exposed area of the negative photoresist layer 210; wherein the upper surface of the positive photoresist structure 112 is the surface of the positive photoresist structure 112 away from the substrate 100.
[0078] Specifically, referring to Figure 3 , after exposure, the negative photoresist layer 210 is developed with a developing solution to remove part of the negative photoresist layer 210 above the positive photoresist structure 112, forming a negative photoresist structure 211 with the characteristics of a wider top and a narrower bottom.
[0079] Further, Figure 6 A structure diagram of a semiconductor structure provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown in Figure 6 , the negative photoresist structure 211 includes a first negative photoresist structure 213 and a second negative photoresist structure 212; the first negative photoresist structure 213 includes negative photoresist in the gap 113, and the second negative photoresist structure 212 includes negative photoresist away from the substrate 100; the cross section of the first negative photoresist structure 212 is inverted trapezoidal, and the cross section of the second negative photoresist structure 213 is rectangular.
[0080] Specifically, the negative photoresist structure 211 includes a first negative photoresist structure 213 and a second negative photoresist structure 212, that is, the negative photoresist structure 211 has a structure feature of being wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, and has a reverse taper structure. The blocking effect of the physical blocking layer in the display panel mainly depends on the reverse taper structure of the blocking layer, and the semiconductor structure negative photoresist structure 211 in the embodiment has a reverse taper structure, which can be used as a physical blocking layer in the display panel to reduce the gray scale crosstalk problem in the display panel.
[0081] Further, in the process of removing part of the negative photoresist layer 210 above the positive photoresist structure 112, further comprising:
[0082] Thinning the positive photoresist structure 112.
[0083] Specifically, since the positive photoresist structure 112 exists below the exposed area of the exposed negative photoresist layer 210, part of the positive photoresist structure 112 is exposed, causing part of the positive photoresist structure 112 to be removed by the developing solution, thereby thinning the positive photoresist structure 112, so that the positive photoresist structure 112 is more easily removed in the subsequent step.
[0084] S270, stripping the positive photoresist structure 112.
[0085] Wherein, the positive photoresist has no polymerization effect after heating, the negative photoresist has polymerization effect after heating, and the resin in the negative photoresist is converted into a high molecular material after light curing and heat curing of the negative photoresist after exposure, so it cannot be stripped by the stripping agent; and the positive photoresist has no polymerization and crosslinking, and is still a small molecular resin, so it can be stripped by the stripping agent.
[0086] Specifically, the semiconductor structure including the substrate 100, the negative photoresist structure 211 and the positive photoresist structure 112 is heated and cured, the negative photoresist structure 211 is cured, and the positive photoresist structure 112 is not cured. The positive photoresist structure 112 after heating is stripped by the stripping agent, and the negative photoresist structure 211 is not stripped, forming a semiconductor structure including only the substrate 100 and the negative photoresist structure. The negative photoresist structure 211 has a structure feature of being wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, and can be used as a physical blocking layer in the display panel to reduce the gray scale crosstalk problem in the display panel, without the need to develop new materials to realize the preparation of the physical blocking layer.
[0087] The technical scheme of the embodiment of the application provides a preparation method of a semiconductor structure, forms a negative photoresist layer having a structure feature of being wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, and can be used as a physical blocking layer in a display panel to reduce the low gray scale crosstalk problem in the display panel, without the need to develop new materials to realize the preparation of the physical blocking layer.
[0088] The embodiment of the present application also provides a preparation method of the display panel based on the above-mentioned embodiments, Figure 7 A flow chart of the preparation method of the display panel is shown in the figure, Figure 7 The method comprises the following steps.
[0089] S1, providing a substrate; forming a pixel definition layer on one side of the substrate, wherein the pixel definition layer comprises pixel definition structures and openings between the pixel definition structures.
[0090] S2, forming a positive photoresist layer on the pixel definition structures.
[0091] S3, performing exposure and development on the positive photoresist layer to form a plurality of positive photoresist structure groups, wherein each positive photoresist structure group comprises two positive photoresist structures, and the two positive photoresist structures have a gap therebetween.
[0092] S4, forming a negative photoresist layer covering the gap and the positive photoresist structures.
[0093] S5, performing exposure and development on the negative photoresist layer to remove part of the negative photoresist layer above the positive photoresist structures.
[0094] S6, peeling off the positive photoresist structures to form a partition structure.
[0095] The size of the surface of the partition structure away from the pixel definition structure is greater than the size of the surface of the partition structure close to the pixel definition structure, that is, the partition structure has the structural characteristics of wider top and narrower bottom, so that the low gray scale crosstalk problem in the display panel in the prior art can be reduced.
[0096] Specifically, in the current display panel, full-color display is usually realized based on a plurality of sub-pixels of different colors, and because the starting gray scale of the sub-pixels of different colors is different, the horizontal crosstalk problem is prone to occur at low gray scale, resulting in poor display effect. The common layer is also above the pixel definition structure, and a part of the common layer on the pixel definition layer is partitioned by the isolation column, so that the horizontal resistance value of the common layer between adjacent sub-pixels is actually increased, so that the horizontal current through the common layer is reduced under the condition that the voltage difference between adjacent sub-pixels is unchanged, and the reduced current cannot meet the requirement of making the adjacent sub-pixels emit light, so that the problems such as color cast can be effectively avoided, and the display effect of the display panel is improved.
[0097] The preparation method of the display panel provided in the embodiment of the present application forms a partition structure on a pixel definition structure, which can improve the crosstalk problem between adjacent sub-pixels in the display panel in the prior art, and can also reduce the low gray scale crosstalk problem in the display panel in the prior art.

The partition structure 3 partitions a part of the common layer, thereby actually increasing the lateral resistance value of the common layer between the anode 4 of the light-emitting device, and the lateral current of the common layer is reduced, so that the problems such as color mixing can be effectively avoided, and the display effect of the display panel is improved.
