Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an electro-optical device, a method for manufacturing an electro-optical device, and an electronic device. [Background technology]

[0002] In electro-optical devices such as liquid crystal devices, a structure is widely adopted in which a capacitive element is provided between a pixel electrode and a substrate body, in which a first conductive film, a dielectric film, and a second conductive film are laminated in this order, and the capacitive element holds the voltage of the pixel electrode. In general, the first conductive film or the second conductive film has low light transmittance, so the capacitive element is generally provided in a region that overlaps with a scanning line or a data line in a planar view. On the other hand, it is desirable for the capacitive element to have a large electrostatic capacitance. Therefore, a structure has been proposed in which a groove is provided in a region that overlaps with the capacitive element in a planar view, and the sidewall of the groove is used to increase the electrostatic capacitance of the capacitive element (see Patent Document 1).

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2004-363300 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In the configuration described in Patent Document 1, it is preferable to reduce the widthwise clearance between the opening edge of the groove and the end of the capacitive element to near the processing limit so that the capacitive element does not protrude too much from the scanning line or data line. However, if the widthwise clearance between the opening edge of the groove and the end of the capacitive element is reduced, if the width dimension or position of the groove and the capacitive element is misaligned, the end of the capacitive element may fall inside the groove, which may cause variation in the capacitance of the capacitive element or a short circuit between the first conductive film and the second conductive film. Therefore, when forming an element such as a capacitive element so as to overlap the groove, there is a problem that the element cannot be appropriately disposed according to the opening edge of the groove and the end of the element. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, one aspect of the electro-optical device of the present invention includes a substrate body having a groove formed therein, an insulating film laminated on the substrate body in a region including the groove, and a laminated film laminated on the insulating film, the laminated film being provided along a side surface and a bottom surface of the groove via the insulating film. The insulating film has a protruding portion protruding from an opening edge of the groove toward the inside of the groove. It is characterized by:

[0006] One aspect of the method for producing an electro-optical device of the present invention includes the steps of: A first step of forming a groove in a substrate body, a second step of forming an insulating film in a region including the groove, and a second step of insulating the groove through the insulating film. Along the sides and bottom A third step of forming a first conductive film, and Along the side and bottom surfaces A fourth step of forming a dielectric film, and Along the side and bottom surfaces A fifth step of forming a second conductive film; In the second step, a protruding portion is formed in the insulating film, the protruding portion protruding from an opening edge of the groove toward the inside of the groove. It is characterized by:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0009] The embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the drawings referred to in the following description, each layer and each member is scaled differently so that each layer and each member can be recognized on the drawing. In the following description, the "first direction" is the X-axis direction and the "second direction" is the Y-axis direction among two mutually intersecting directions in the in-plane direction of the first substrate 10. In addition, when describing the layers formed on the first substrate 10, the upper layer side or the surface side means the side opposite to the side where the substrate is located (the side where the opposing substrate is located), and the lower layer side means the side where the substrate is located.

[0010] [Embodiment 1] (Configuration of the electro-optical device) FIG. 1 is a plan view showing one aspect of an electro-optical device 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the electro-optical device 1 shown in FIG. 1. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, in the electro-optical device 1, a first substrate 10 having a substrate body 19 and a second substrate 20 having a substrate body 29 are bonded together by a sealant 107 with a predetermined gap therebetween, and the first substrate 10 and the second substrate 20 face each other. The sealant 107 is provided in a frame shape along the outer edge of the second substrate 20, and an electro-optical layer 80 such as a liquid crystal layer is disposed in the area surrounded by the sealant 107 between the first substrate 10 and the second substrate 20. The electro-optical device 1 of this embodiment is a liquid crystal device including a liquid crystal panel 100. The sealant 107 is a photocurable adhesive or a photocurable and thermosetting adhesive, and is mixed with a gap material such as glass fiber or glass beads for setting the distance between the two substrates to a predetermined value. The first substrate 10 and the second substrate 20 are both rectangular, and a display area 10a is provided as a rectangular area approximately in the center of the electro-optical device 1. Corresponding to this shape, the sealant 107 is also provided in an approximately rectangular shape, and a rectangular frame-shaped peripheral area 10b is provided between the inner periphery of the sealant 107 and the outer periphery of the display area 10a.

[0011] The substrate body 19 is made of a light-transmitting substrate such as a quartz substrate or a glass substrate. On one surface 19s of the substrate body 19, outside the display region 10a, a data line driving circuit 101 and a plurality of terminals 102 are formed along one side of the substrate body 19, and a scanning line driving circuit 104 is formed along the other side adjacent to the one side. A flexible wiring board (not shown) is connected to the terminals 102, and various electric potentials and various signals are input to the first substrate 10 via the flexible wiring board.

[0012] On one surface 19s of the substrate body 19, a plurality of light-transmitting pixel electrodes 9a made of an ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) film or the like, and transistors (not shown in FIGS. 1 and 2) electrically connected to each of the plurality of pixel electrodes 9a are formed in a matrix in the display region 10a. A first alignment film 18 is formed on the second substrate 20 side of the pixel electrodes 9a, and the pixel electrodes 9a are covered with the first alignment film 18. Therefore, the substrate body 19 to the first alignment film 18 correspond to the first substrate 10.

[0013] The substrate body 29 is made of a light-transmitting substrate such as a quartz substrate or a glass substrate. A light-transmitting common electrode 21 made of an ITO film or the like is formed on one surface 29s of the substrate body 29. The common electrode 21 is formed on substantially the entire surface of the second substrate 20. A second alignment film 28 is formed on the first substrate 10 side relative to the common electrode 21, and the common electrode 21 is covered by the second alignment film 28. Therefore, the substrate body 29 to the second alignment film 28 correspond to the second substrate 20. In the second substrate 20, a light-shielding light-shielding layer 27 made of a resin, metal, or metal compound is formed between the substrate body 29 and the common electrode 21, and a light-transmitting protective layer 26 is formed between the light-shielding layer 27 and the common electrode 21. The light-shielding layer 27 is formed, for example, as a frame-shaped border 27a extending along the outer periphery of the display region 10a. The light-shielding layer 27 may be formed as a black matrix 27b in a region that overlaps in plan view with a region sandwiched between adjacent pixel electrodes 9a. In a region 10c of the peripheral region 10b of the substrate body 19 that overlaps in plan view with the parting 27a, a dummy pixel electrode 9d is formed simultaneously with the pixel electrode 9a.

[0014] The first alignment film 18 and the second alignment film 28 are made of SiO x(x<2), it is an inorganic alignment film made of an obliquely evaporated film of SiO2, TiO2, MgO, Al2O3, etc., and liquid crystal molecules with negative dielectric anisotropy used in the electro-optical layer 80 are tilted. Therefore, the liquid crystal molecules form a predetermined angle with respect to the substrate main body 19 and the substrate main body 29. In this way, the electro-optical device 1 is configured as a liquid crystal device in a VA (Vertical Alignment) mode.

[0015] An inter-substrate conduction electrode 109 for electrical conduction between the first substrate 10 and the second substrate 20 is formed in a region of the first substrate 10 that is outside the sealing material 107 and overlaps with a corner portion of the substrate body 29. An inter-substrate conduction material 109a containing conductive particles is disposed in the inter-substrate conduction electrode 109, and the common electrode 21 of the second substrate 20 is electrically connected to the first substrate 10 side via the inter-substrate conduction material 109a and the inter-substrate conduction electrode 109. For this reason, a common potential is applied to the common electrode 21 from the first substrate 10 side.

[0016] In the electro-optical device 1 of this embodiment, the pixel electrodes 9a and the common electrode 21 are formed of an ITO film, and the electro-optical device 1 is configured as a transmissive liquid crystal device. In this electro-optical device 1, light incident on the electro-optical layer 80 from one of the first substrate 10 and the second substrate 20 is modulated while passing through the other substrate and is emitted to display an image. In this embodiment, as shown by arrow L, light incident on the second substrate 20 is modulated for each pixel by the electro-optical layer 80 while passing through the first substrate 10 and is emitted to display an image.

[0017] (Electrical configuration of the electro-optical device 1) FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing an electrical configuration of the electro-optical device 1 shown in FIG. 1. In FIG. 3, the electro-optical device 1 includes a VA mode liquid crystal panel 100, which includes a display area 10a in which a plurality of pixels 100a are arranged in a matrix in its central area. In the liquid crystal panel 100, a plurality of scanning lines 3a extending in the X-axis direction and a plurality of data lines 6a extending in the Y-axis direction are formed inside the display area 10a in the first substrate 10 described with reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, etc., and a plurality of pixels 100a are formed corresponding to each intersection of the plurality of scanning lines 3a and the plurality of data lines 6a. The plurality of scanning lines 3a are electrically connected to a scanning line driving circuit 104, and the plurality of data lines 6a are connected to a data line driving circuit 101. In addition, an inspection circuit 105 is electrically connected to the plurality of data lines 6a on the opposite side of the data line driving circuit 101 in the Y-axis direction.

[0018] Each of the pixels 100a includes a pixel switching transistor 30, such as a field effect transistor, and a pixel electrode 9a electrically connected to the transistor 30. A data line 6a is electrically connected to one source-drain region of the transistor 30, a scanning line 3a is electrically connected to the gate of the transistor 30, and a pixel electrode 9a is electrically connected to the other source-drain region of the transistor 30. An image signal is supplied to the data line 6a, and a scanning signal is supplied to the scanning line 3a. In this embodiment, the scanning line driving circuit 104 is configured as scanning line driving circuits 104s and 104t on one side X1 and the other side X2 in the X-axis direction with respect to the display area 10a, and the scanning line driving circuit 104s on one side X1 in the X-axis direction drives the odd-numbered scanning lines 3a, and the scanning line driving circuit 104t on the other side X2 in the X-axis direction drives the even-numbered scanning lines 3a.

[0019] In each pixel 100a, the pixel electrode 9a faces the common electrode 21 described with reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 via the electro-optical layer 80 to form a liquid crystal capacitance 50a. In each pixel 100a, a capacitance element 55 is added in parallel with the liquid crystal capacitance 50a to prevent fluctuations in the image signal held in the liquid crystal capacitance 50a. In this embodiment, in order to form the capacitance element 55, a capacitance line 7a extending across the multiple pixels 100a is formed in the substrate body 19, and a common potential is supplied to the capacitance line 7a. In FIG. 3, one capacitance line 7a is shown extending in the X-axis direction, but the capacitance line 7a may be configured to extend in the Y-axis direction or may be configured to extend in both the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction.

[0020] (Schematic configuration of pixel 100a) FIG. 4 is a plan view of adjacent pixels 100a in the electro-optical device 1 shown in FIG. 1. FIG. 5 is an enlarged plan view of the periphery of the transistor 30 shown in FIG. 4. FIG. 6 is a GG′ cross-sectional view of the periphery of the transistor 30 shown in FIG. 5. FIG. 6 is a schematic view of the transistor 30 and the like cut along the scanning line 3a. FIG. 7 is a SS′ cross-sectional view of the periphery of the transistor 30 shown in FIG. 5. FIG. 7 is a schematic view of the transistor 30 and the like cut along the data line 6a. In FIG. 4, FIG. 5, and FIG. 8 to FIG. 11 described later, each layer is represented by the following lines. In FIG. 4, FIG. 5, and FIG. 8 to FIG. 11 described later, the positions of the ends of the layers whose ends overlap each other in a plan view are shifted so that the shapes of the layers can be easily understood. Scan line 3a = thick solid line Semiconductor film 31a = thin, short dashed line Gate electrode 33a=thin dashed double-dashed line First capacitance electrode 4a = thin dashed line Second capacitance electrode 5a = thin solid line Relay electrodes 8c, 8d, 8s = thick dashed lines Data line 6a and relay electrodes 6c, 6d = thick dashed double-dashed lines Capacitive line 7a and relay electrode 7d = thick, long dashed line Pixel electrode 9a = thick solid line

[0021] As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the first substrate 10 has a pixel electrode 9a formed in each of the pixels 100a, and the scanning line 3a, the data line 6a, and the capacitance line 7a extend along the inter-pixel region sandwiched between the adjacent pixel electrodes 9a. More specifically, the scanning line 3a extends in the X-axis direction overlapping with the first inter-pixel region 9b extending in the X-axis direction, and the data line 6a and the capacitance line 7a extend in the Y-axis direction overlapping with the second inter-pixel region 9c extending in the Y-axis direction. The first substrate 10 has a transistor 30 formed thereon, which includes a semiconductor film 31a corresponding to the intersection 3c of the data line 6a and the scanning line 3a. The scanning line 3a, the data line 6a, and the capacitance line 7a have light-shielding properties. Therefore, the region in which the scanning line 3a, the data line 6a, the capacitance line 7a, and the conductive film in the same layer as these wirings are formed is a light-shielding region through which light does not pass, and the region surrounded by the light-shielding region is an opening region through which light passes.

[0022] 6 and 7, in the first substrate 10, an insulating film 40 and interlayer insulating films 41 to 46 are formed in this order on one surface 19s of the substrate body 19, and for example, the surfaces of the interlayer insulating films 41, 42, 46 are made into a continuous flat surface by chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) or the like. In the layers between the substrate body 19 and the pixel electrodes 9a, a capacitive element 55, a scanning line 3a as a light-shielding film 3b, a semiconductor film 31a of the transistor 30, a gate electrode 33a of the transistor 30, a data line 6a, and a capacitive line 7a are provided in this order.

[0023] (Detailed explanation of each layer) The detailed configuration of the first substrate 10 will be described with reference to Figs. 5, 6, and 7, and with reference to Figs. 8 to 11 as appropriate. Fig. 8 is a plan view of the capacitance element 55 shown in Fig. 5. Fig. 9 is a plan view of the transistor 30 shown in Fig. 5. Fig. 10 is a plan view of the relay electrodes 8c, 8d, and 8s shown in Fig. 5. Fig. 11 is a plan view of the data line 6a and the capacitance line 7a shown in Fig. 5. Note that in Figs. 8, 9, 10, and 11, contact holes related to the electrical connection of the electrodes and the like shown in those figures are shown, and the semiconductor film 31a and the pixel electrode 9a are shown to indicate the reference positions.

[0024] 5, 6, 7 and 8, a laminated film 550 is provided between the substrate body 19 and the interlayer insulating film 41, in which a first conductive film 4a, a dielectric film 49, and a second conductive film 5a are laminated in this order from the substrate body 19 side, and the laminated film 550 constitutes a capacitive element 55. The dielectric film 49 is made of a silicon nitride film, a silicon oxide film, or the like. For example, when the dielectric film 49 is a silicon nitride film, the dielectric film 49 is formed to a thickness of 0.01 to 0.03 μm.

[0025] The first conductive film 4a includes a rectangular main body portion 4a0 overlapping an intersection 3c of the scanning line 3a with the data line 6a in a plan view, a first protrusion 4a1 protruding from the main body portion 4a0 to one side X1 in the X-axis direction, and a second protrusion 4a2 protruding from the main body portion 4a0 to the other side X2 in the X-axis direction. The first conductive film 4a also includes a third protrusion 4a3 protruding from the main body portion 4a0 to one side Y1 in the Y-axis direction, and a fourth protrusion 4a4 protruding from the main body portion 4a0 to the other side Y2 in the Y-axis direction. The first conductive film 4a is made of a conductive silicon film, a metal silicide film, a metal film, a metal compound film, or the like. For example, when the first conductive film 4a is a conductive silicon film, the first conductive film 4a is formed to a thickness of 0.03 to 0.2 μm.

[0026] The second conductive film 5a overlaps the first conductive film 4a from the pixel electrode 9a side via the dielectric film 49 in plan view. More specifically, the second conductive film 5a includes a main body portion 5a0 overlapping the main body portion 4a0 in plan view, a first protrusion 5a1 overlapping the first protrusion 4a1 in plan view, a second protrusion 5a2 overlapping the second protrusion 4a2 in plan view, a third protrusion 5a3 overlapping the third protrusion 4a3 in plan view, and a fourth protrusion 5a4 overlapping the fourth protrusion 4a4 in plan view. The second conductive film 5a is made of a conductive silicon film, a metal silicide film, a metal film, a metal compound film, or the like. For example, when the second conductive film 5a is a conductive silicon film, the second conductive film 5a is formed to a thickness of 0.03 to 0.2 μm.

[0027] The first conductive film 4a, the dielectric film 49, and the second conductive film 5a are collectively patterned. Therefore, the first conductive film 4a, the dielectric film 49, and the second conductive film 5a have the same shape. However, the dielectric film 49 and the second conductive film 5a have a notch 5a5 formed therein so as to expose the end of the fourth protruding portion 4a4 of the first conductive film 4a.

[0028] In addition, a groove 190 and an insulating film 40 are formed in the layer between the substrate body 19 and the capacitive element 55, and the configurations of the groove 190 and the insulating film 40 will be described later.

[0029] 5, 6, 7, and 9, a scanning line 3a extending in the X-axis direction so as to overlap with the first inter-pixel region 9b is formed in a layer between the interlayer insulating film 41 and the interlayer insulating film 42. The scanning line 3a includes a wiring portion 3a0 extending with a constant width in the X-axis direction, a wide portion 3a1 protruding from the wiring portion 3a0 to both sides in the Y-axis direction at an intersection 3c, and a protruding portion 3a2 protruding further from the wide portion 3a1 to one side Y1 in the Y-axis direction.

[0030] The scanning line 3a is a conductive light-shielding film 3b made of a metal silicide film, a metal film, a metal compound film, or the like. In this embodiment, the scanning line 3a is made of a tungsten silicide film. For example, when the scanning line 3a is a tungsten silicide film, the scanning line 3a is formed to a film thickness of 0.1 to 0.4 μm.

[0031] A pixel switching transistor 30 is formed between the interlayer insulating film 42 and the interlayer insulating film 43. The transistor 30 includes a semiconductor film 31a formed on the surface of the interlayer insulating film 42 on the side of the pixel electrode 9a, a gate insulating film 32 covering the semiconductor film 31a from the side of the pixel electrode 9a, and a gate electrode 33a overlapping the semiconductor film 31a with the gate insulating film 32 interposed therebetween in a plan view.

[0032] The gate electrode 33a includes a main body portion 33a0 overlapping with the semiconductor film 31a, and protrusions 33a1 and 33a2 protruding from both ends of the main body portion 33a0 in the X-axis direction to the other side Y2 in the Y-axis direction. The gate electrode 33a includes a light-shielding conductive film such as a metal silicide film, a metal film, or a metal compound film. In this embodiment, the gate electrode 33a is made of a laminated film of a conductive polysilicon film and a metal film such as aluminum.

[0033] The semiconductor film 31a extends in the Y-axis direction so as to overlap the second inter-pixel region 9c, and includes a channel region 31g overlapping the gate electrode 33a in a plan view, a first source-drain region 31s adjacent to the channel region 31g on one side Y1 in the Y-axis direction, and a second source-drain region 31d adjacent to the channel region 31g on the other side Y2 in the Y-axis direction. The transistor 30 has an LDD (Lightly-Doped Drain) structure. Therefore, the second source-drain region 31d includes a high-concentration region 31d1 in which a high-concentration impurity is introduced at a position away from the channel region 31g, and a low-concentration region 31d2 in which an impurity is introduced at a lower concentration than that of the high-concentration region 31d1 between the channel region 31g and the high-concentration region 31d1. The first source / drain region 31s includes a high-concentration region 31s1 in which a high-concentration impurity is introduced at a position away from the channel region 31g, and a low-concentration region 31s2 in which the impurity is introduced at a lower concentration than that of the high-concentration region 31s1 between the channel region 31g and the high-concentration region 31s1. The width of the semiconductor film 31a in the X-axis direction is, for example, 0.3 μm, and the semiconductor film 31a extends linearly in the Y-axis direction.

[0034] The semiconductor film 31a is composed of a polysilicon film or the like, and the gate insulating film 32 has a two-layer structure including a first gate insulating film made of a silicon oxide film obtained by thermally oxidizing the semiconductor film 31a, and a second gate insulating film made of a silicon oxide film formed by a low-pressure CVD method or the like.

[0035] The wide portion 3a1 of the scanning line 3a overlaps with the gate electrode 33a, the first source-drain region 31s, the channel region 31g, and the second source-drain region 31d in a plan view. The wide portion 3a1 of the scanning line 3a and the protruding portions 33a1 and 33a2 of the gate electrode 33a are electrically connected to the scanning line 3a via groove-shaped contact holes 42g and 42h that penetrate the gate insulating film 32 and the interlayer insulating film 42.

[0036] A relay electrode 33c spaced apart from the gate electrode 33a on the other side X2 in the X-axis direction, and a relay electrode 33d spaced apart from the gate electrode 33a on the other side Y2 in the Y-axis direction are provided between the gate insulating film 32 and the interlayer insulating film 43. The relay electrodes 33c and 33d are made of the same conductive film as the gate electrode 33a.

[0037] At the end of the wiring portion 3a0 of the scanning line 3a on the other side Y2 in the Y-axis direction, a notch 3a5 is formed in a region overlapping with the relay electrode 33c and the second conductive film 5a in a plan view. A contact hole 42c that passes through the notch 3a5 and reaches the second conductive film 5a is formed in the gate insulating film 32, the interlayer insulating film 42, and the interlayer insulating film 41. Therefore, the relay electrode 33c is electrically connected to the second conductive film 5a through the contact hole 42c.

[0038] A contact hole 42d that passes through the cutout 5a5 and reaches the first conductive film 4a is formed in the gate insulating film 32, the interlayer insulating film 42, and the interlayer insulating film 41. Therefore, the relay electrode 33d is electrically connected to the first conductive film 4a through the contact hole 42d.

[0039] 5, 6, 7, and 10, a relay electrode 8s overlapping the first source-drain region 31s in a plan view, a relay electrode 8d overlapping the second source-drain region 31d in a plan view, and a relay electrode 8c overlapping the relay electrode 33c in a plan view are formed, separated from each other, between the interlayer insulating film 43 and the interlayer insulating film 44. The relay electrodes 8c, 8d, and 8s are made of a light-shielding conductive film such as a metal silicide film, a metal film, or a metal compound film.

[0040] The relay electrode 8d includes a main body portion 8d0 overlapping with the gate electrode 33a in a plan view, and a protruding portion 8d1 protruding from the main body portion 8d0 so as to overlap with the second source-drain region 31d in a plan view. The protruding portion 8d1 is electrically connected to the second source-drain region 31d via a contact hole 43d penetrating the interlayer insulating film 43 and the gate insulating film 32. In addition, since an end of the relay electrode 33d is exposed in the contact hole 43d, the protruding portion 8d1 is electrically connected to the relay electrode 33d.

[0041] The relay electrode 8s is electrically connected to the first source-drain region 31s via a contact hole 43s penetrating the interlayer insulating film 43 and the gate insulating film 32. The relay electrode 8c is electrically connected to the relay electrode 33c via a contact hole 43c penetrating the interlayer insulating film 43.

[0042] 5, 6, 7, and 11, between the interlayer insulating film 44 and the interlayer insulating film 45, there are provided a data line 6a extending in the Y-axis direction so as to overlap the second interpixel region 9c in a plan view, a relay electrode 6e spaced apart from the data line 6a on one side X1 in the X-axis direction, and a relay electrode 6c spaced apart from the data line 6a on the other side X2 in the X-axis direction. The data line 6a and the relay electrodes 6c and 6e are made of a light-shielding conductive film such as a metal silicide film, a metal film, or a metal compound film. For example, the width of the data line 6a is 0.5 to 1 μm.

[0043] The data line 6a is electrically connected to the relay electrode 8s through a contact hole 44s that penetrates the interlayer insulating film 44. Therefore, the data line 6a is electrically connected to the first source-drain region 31s through the relay electrode 8s. The relay electrode 6e is electrically connected to the relay electrode 8d through a contact hole 44e that penetrates the interlayer insulating film 44. The relay electrode 6c is electrically connected to the relay electrode 8c through a contact hole 44c that penetrates the interlayer insulating film 44.

[0044] A capacitance line 7a extending in the Y-axis direction so as to overlap with the data line 6a in a plan view, and a relay electrode 7e spaced apart from the capacitance line 7a on one side X1 in the X-axis direction are provided between the interlayer insulating film 45 and the interlayer insulating film 46. The capacitance line 7a and the relay electrode 7e are made of a light-shielding conductive film such as a metal silicide film, a metal film, or a metal compound film.

[0045] The capacitance line 7a includes a wiring portion 7a0 extending in the Y-axis direction and a protruding portion 7a1 protruding from a portion of the wiring portion 7a0 overlapping with the intersection portion 3c to the other side X2 in the X-axis direction. The protruding portion 7a1 is electrically connected to the relay electrode 6c through a contact hole 45c penetrating the interlayer insulating film 45. Therefore, the capacitance line 7a is electrically connected to the second conductive film 5a of the capacitance element 55 through the relay electrode 6c, the relay electrode 8c, and the relay electrode 33c. The width of the wiring portion 7a0 is 0.5 to 1 μm.

[0046] The relay electrode 7e is electrically connected to the relay electrode 6e through a contact hole 45e that penetrates the interlayer insulating film 45. The pixel electrode 9a is electrically connected to the relay electrode 7e through a contact hole 46e that penetrates the interlayer insulating film 46. In this embodiment, of the four pixel electrodes 9a1, 9a2, 9a3, and 9a4 that are adjacent to each other around the contact hole 46e, the pixel electrode 9a1 that is located on the other side Y2 in the Y-axis direction with respect to the contact hole 46e is electrically connected to the relay electrode 7e through the contact hole 46e.

[0047] As a result, the pixel electrode 9a is electrically connected to the second source-drain region 31d via the relay electrodes 7e, 6e, and 8d. Therefore, when the transistor 30 is turned on, an image signal is supplied to the pixel electrode 9a from the data line 6a. The pixel electrode 9a is also electrically connected to the first conductive film 4a of the capacitance element 55 via the relay electrodes 7e, 6e, 8d, and 33d.

[0048] In the electro-optical device 1 configured in this manner, the capacitance line 7a, the data line 6a, and the relay electrode 8d overlap with the semiconductor film 31a on the pixel electrode 9a side in a plan view. Therefore, light incident from the pixel electrode 9a side is unlikely to enter the channel region 31g and the low concentration region 31d2 of the semiconductor film 31a. In addition, the scanning line 3a overlaps with the semiconductor film 31a on the substrate body 19 side in a plan view. Therefore, even if the return light of the light emitted from the substrate body 19 enters from the substrate body 19 side, the light is unlikely to enter the channel region 31g and the low concentration region 31d2 of the semiconductor film 31a. In addition, the part of the gate electrode 33a located inside the contact holes 42g and 42h forms a light shielding wall for the channel region 31g and the low concentration region 31d2 of the semiconductor film 31a. Therefore, the light toward the channel region 31g and the low concentration region 31d2 from the X-axis direction can be blocked by the gate electrode 33a located inside the contact holes 42g and 42h. Therefore, according to this embodiment, deterioration of the characteristics of the transistor 30 caused by photocurrent is unlikely to occur.

[0049] (Configuration of the Groove 190 and the Insulating Film 40) Fig. 12 is a cross-sectional view in the width direction near the groove 190 shown in Fig. 8. Fig. 13 is a cross-sectional view near the groove 190 in a reference example of the present invention. Fig. 14 is an explanatory diagram of the protruding portion of the insulating film 40 shown in Fig. 8.

[0050] Between the substrate body 19 and the pixel electrode 9a, a groove 190 recessed on the opposite side to the pixel electrode 9a, and an insulating film 40 are formed on the pixel electrode 9a side in the region including the groove 190 between the substrate body 19 and the capacitance element 55. That is, the groove 190 is recessed toward the substrate body 19. In this embodiment, the first groove 191 and the multiple second grooves are formed on the surface of the substrate body 19 on the pixel electrode 9a side. In the capacitance element 55, a laminated film 550 consisting of a first conductive film 4a, a dielectric film 49, and a second conductive film 5a is laminated in order on the insulating film 40. The insulating film 40 overlaps along the side walls 190a, 190b and bottom wall 190c of the groove 190, and a groove-shaped recess 40a narrower than the groove 190 is formed on the surface of the insulating film 40 on the pixel electrode 9a side. Therefore, inside the recess 40a, the first conductive film 4a overlaps the side walls 190a, 190b and the bottom wall 190c of the groove 190 via the insulating film 40, the dielectric film 49 overlaps the side walls 190a, 190b and the bottom wall 190c of the groove 190 via the first conductive film 4a and the insulating film 40, and the second conductive film 5a overlaps the side walls 190a, 190b and the bottom wall 190c of the groove 190 via the dielectric film 49, the first conductive film 4a and the insulating film 40. Therefore, the capacitance element 55 has a larger capacitance than when the first conductive film 4a, the dielectric film 49 and the second conductive film 5a are laminated only on a flat surface. In addition, the depth of the recess of the groove 190 is deeper than the total thickness of the insulating film 40 and the laminated film 550, and the insulating film 40 and the laminated film 550 are uniformly formed by a CVD method or the like, so that the capacitance element 55 with stable capacitance can be formed. Furthermore, since the width of the bottom wall of the laminated film 550 is narrower than the width of the bottom wall of the groove 190, and the laminated film 550 is disposed along the opening edges on both sides of the insulating film 40, a capacitive element 55 with stable capacitance can be formed.

[0051] A groove-shaped recess 5a6 resulting from the groove 190 is formed on the surface of the second conductive film 5a on the pixel electrode 9a side. Here, since the insulating film 40 is formed inside the groove 190, the recess 5a6 reflects the shape of the recess 40a of the insulating film 40. Therefore, since the recess 5a6 has a narrow width, it is easily filled with the interlayer insulating film 41. For example, the interlayer insulating film 41 is made of a silicon oxide film or the like, and is formed to a thickness of 0.2 to 0.5 μm, and has a shape with good step coverage that fills the recess 5a6.

[0052] In this embodiment, the opening width of the groove 190 is 0.6 μm to 1.0 μm, and the width of the bottom wall 190c of the groove 190 is 0.4 μm to 0.8 μm. The depth of the groove 190 is 1 μm or more. For example, the depth of the groove 190 is 1 μm to 2 μm. The insulating film 40 is made of a silicon oxide film or the like, and has a thickness of 0.05 μm to 0.3 μm. Therefore, the opening width of the recess 40a is 0.4 μm to 0.7 μm. In the portion extending along the groove 190, the width of the first conductive film 4a and the second conductive film 5a is 0.7 μm to 0.9 μm. Therefore, the clearance C1 between the opening edge of the groove 190 and the end of the second conductive film 5a is about 0.1 μm. A clearance C2 between the opening edge of the recess 40a and the end of the second conductive film 5a is 0.2 μm or more.

[0053] In this embodiment, the groove 190 includes a first groove 191 extending so as to overlap one of the scanning line 3a and the data line 6a, and a second groove 192 extending so as to overlap the other of the scanning line 3a and the data line 6a. In this embodiment, the first groove 191 extends linearly in the Y-axis direction so as to overlap the data line 6a and the semiconductor film 31a, and the second groove 192 extends linearly so as to overlap the scanning line 3a. The groove 190 has an intersection 190x between the first groove 191 and the second groove 192.

[0054] Such a structure is realized by carrying out the following steps in the manufacturing process of the electro-optical device 1. In the first step, the groove 190 is formed using a photolithography technique or the like, and then in the second step, the insulating film 40 is formed in the region including the groove 190. The insulating film 40 is formed using a plasma CVD method or the like using tetraethoxysilane. The insulating film 40 may also be formed by forming a silicon film and then thermally oxidizing the silicon film. Next, in the third step, the first conductive film 4a is formed so as to overlap the side walls 190a, 190b and bottom wall 190c of the groove 190 via the insulating film 40, and then in the fourth step, the dielectric film 49 is formed so as to overlap the side walls 190a, 190b and bottom wall 190c of the groove 190 via the first conductive film 4a and the insulating film 40. Next, in a fifth step, a second conductive film 5a is formed so as to overlap the side walls 190a, 190b and the bottom wall 190c of the groove 190 via the dielectric film 49, the first conductive film 4a, and the insulating film 40. Thereafter, a laminated film 550 consisting of the first conductive film 4a, the dielectric film 49, and the second conductive film 5a is collectively patterned using a photolithography technique or the like to form a capacitance element 55.

[0055] In this embodiment, the widthwise clearance C1 between the edge of the groove 190 and the end of the capacitance element 55 is made small to the extent that it can be processed, so that the capacitance element 55 does not overhang too much from the scanning line 3a or the data line 6a, causing a decrease in the pixel aperture ratio. Even in this case, in this embodiment, since the insulating film 40 is laminated inside the groove 190, even if the widthwise clearance C1 between the end of the capacitance element 55 and the edge of the groove 190 is small, the widthwise clearance C2 between the end of the capacitance element 55 and the edge of the groove-shaped recess 40a is large. Therefore, even if the width dimensions or positions of the groove 190 and the capacitance element 55 are misaligned, the end of the capacitance element 55 is unlikely to fall inside the recess 40a. Therefore, even if the widthwise clearance between the end of groove 190 and the end of capacitive element 55 is reduced, capacitive element 55 can be properly arranged, with less variation in the electrostatic capacitance of capacitive element 55 and less chance of short circuiting between first conductive film 4a and second conductive film 5a.

[0056] 13, in the case where the insulating film 40 is not laminated inside the groove 190, the clearance when the laminated film 550 consisting of the first conductive film 4a, the dielectric film 49, and the second conductive film 5a is patterned to form the capacitance element 55 corresponds to a narrow clearance C1 in the width direction between the end of the capacitance element 55 and the opening edge of the groove 190. Therefore, if the positions of the groove 190 and the capacitance element 55 are deviated from the design positions shown by the two-dot chain line, the end of the capacitance element 55 falls inside the groove 190, causing variations in the capacitance of the capacitance element 55 and a short circuit between the first conductive film 4a and the second conductive film 5a. However, in this embodiment, such a defect is unlikely to occur.

[0057] 14, in this embodiment, when the insulating film 40 is formed after the groove 190 is formed, a protruding portion 40u protruding from the opening edge of the groove 190 toward the inside of the groove 190 may be formed in the insulating film 40. In such a case, the first conductive film 4a, the dielectric film 49, and the second conductive film 5a are formed so as to follow the protruding portion 40u, so that the capacitance of the capacitive element 55 can be increased.

[0058] [Embodiment 2] Fig. 15 is an explanatory diagram of an electro-optical device 1 according to a second embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 15 shows a planar structure of a groove 190, etc. Fig. 16 is an explanatory diagram showing the effect of the configuration shown in Fig. 15. Note that since the basic configuration of this embodiment is similar to that of the first embodiment, the same reference numerals are used to denote common parts and their description will be omitted.

[0059] In the first embodiment, the first groove 191 and the second groove 192 intersect in the groove 190. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 15, the second grooves 192 and 193 extending in the X-axis direction are provided on both sides in the width direction of the first groove 191 extending in the Y-axis direction. Here, the second grooves 192 and 193 do not intersect with the first groove 191 extending in the Y-axis direction. More specifically, the second grooves 192 and 193 are provided at positions spaced apart from the first groove 191 in the X-axis direction, and do not intersect with the first groove 191. Therefore, the groove 190 does not have the intersection 190x shown in FIG. 8. Here, at the intersection 190x, the opening width of the groove 190 becomes wider in the diagonal direction with respect to the first groove 191 and the second groove 192. However, in this embodiment, since the intersection 190x does not exist, the groove width of the groove 190 is narrow at all places. Therefore, even if a recess 5a6 caused by the groove 190 occurs in the surface of the second conductive film 5a, the recess 5a6 in the surface of the second conductive film 5a can be easily filled with the interlayer insulating film 41 deposited on the side wall of the recess 5a6 when the interlayer insulating film 41 is formed. Therefore, even when chemical mechanical polishing is performed after the interlayer insulating film 41 is formed, the thickness of the interlayer insulating film 41 can be small, and the time required for forming the interlayer insulating film 41 can be short.

[0060] On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8, when the first groove 191 and the second groove 192 intersect, the groove width in the direction intersecting the first groove 191 and the second groove 192 at the intersection 190x tends to be wide during etching for forming the groove, so that it may be difficult to fill the recess 5a6 with the interlayer insulating film 41 as shown in FIG. 16. In that case, stress may be applied to the scanning line 3a formed on the surface of the interlayer insulating film 41, causing cracks. In addition, when chemical mechanical polishing is performed to flatten the surface after the interlayer insulating film 41 is formed, the film thickness of the interlayer insulating film 41 needs to be increased, so that the time required for forming the interlayer insulating film 41 is long. Therefore, compared to the first embodiment, the second embodiment is more preferable.

[0061] [Embodiment 3] Fig. 17 is an explanatory diagram of an electro-optical device 1 according to a third embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 17 shows a planar structure of a groove 190, etc. Note that since the basic configuration of this embodiment is similar to that of the first and second embodiments, the same reference numerals are used to denote common parts and their description will be omitted.

[0062] In the second embodiment, the groove 190 has second grooves 192 and 193 on both sides of a single first groove 191 extending in the Y-axis direction, but in this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 17, the first groove 191 is interrupted midway in the extension direction of the groove 190, and the first groove 191 includes a first portion 191a and a second portion 191b located on the other side Y2 in the Y-axis direction relative to the first portion 191a. In this embodiment, as in the second embodiment, the groove 190 includes second grooves 192 and 193 on both sides of the first groove 191. Furthermore, the groove 190 includes second grooves 194 and 195 extending in the X-axis direction on both sides of the first groove 191.

[0063] Here, the first portion 191a of the first groove 191, the second groove 194, and the second groove 192 are connected at their ends but do not intersect. The second portion 191b of the first groove 191, the second groove 195, and the second groove 193 are connected at their ends but do not intersect. Therefore, the first portion 191a of the first groove 191, the second portion 191b of the first groove 191, and the second grooves 192, 193, 194, and 195 do not have the intersection portion 190x described with reference to FIG. 16, and therefore the groove width is narrow. Therefore, even if a recess 5a6 occurs on the surface of the second conductive film 5a, when the interlayer insulating film 41 is formed, the recess 5a6 is easily filled by the interlayer insulating film 41.

[0064] [Embodiment 4] Fig. 18 is an explanatory diagram of an electro-optical device 1 according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 18 shows a schematic cross section of a capacitive element 55. Note that the basic configuration of this embodiment is similar to that of the first and second embodiments, so the same reference numerals are used to denote common parts and their description will be omitted.

[0065] In the first and second embodiments, the first conductive film 4a, the dielectric film 49, and the second conductive film 5a are patterned together, but as shown in Fig. 18, for example, the first conductive film 4a may be patterned by etching, and then the dielectric film 49 and the second conductive film 5a may be formed, and then the dielectric film 49 and the second conductive film 5a may be patterned together. In this case, if the second conductive film 5a is formed in an area larger than the first conductive film 4a, it is possible to avoid etching the first conductive film 4a when patterning the second conductive film 5a.

[0066] [Embodiment 5] Fig. 19 is an explanatory diagram of an electro-optical device 1 according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 19 shows a schematic cross section of a capacitive element 55. Note that the basic configuration of this embodiment is similar to that of the first and second embodiments, so the same reference numerals are used to denote common parts and their description will be omitted.

[0067] In the first and second embodiments, the recess 5a6 occurring in the surface of the second conductive film 5a due to the groove 190 is filled with the interlayer insulating film 41. However, as shown in FIG. 19, the recess 49a occurring in the surface of the dielectric film 49 due to the groove 190 may be filled with the second conductive film 5a.

[0068] [Other embodiments] In the above embodiment, the case was described in which the light-shielding film 3b provided between the transistor 30 and the substrate body 19 is the scanning line 3a, but when the gate electrode 33a is part of the scanning line, the light-shielding film 3b may be a light-shielding film separate from the scanning line.

[0069] In the above embodiment, the semiconductor film 31a extends in the Y-axis direction, but the present invention may be applied to the case where the semiconductor film 31a extends in the X-axis direction. Also, in the above embodiment, the first groove 191 extends in the Y-axis direction, but the present invention may be applied to the case where the first groove 191 extends in the X-axis direction.

[0070] In the above embodiment, the transistor 30 has an LDD structure, but the present invention may be applied to an offset gate structure in which the high concentration regions 31d1 and 31s1 are spaced apart from the ends of the gate electrode 33a. In this case, the regions between the high concentration regions 31d1 and 31s1 and the ends of the gate electrode 33a where no impurities are introduced become the low concentration regions 31d2 and 31s2.

[0071] In the above embodiment, the capacitive element 55 is formed on the first substrate 10 of the liquid crystal device. However, the present invention may be applied to a case where the capacitive element 55 is formed on a substrate of an organic electroluminescence device. may be applied.

[0072] [Examples of installation in electronic devices] An electronic device using the electro-optical device 1 according to the above-described embodiment will be described. Fig. 20 is a schematic configuration diagram of a projection type display device using the electro-optical device 1 to which the present invention is applied. Optical elements such as polarizing plates are omitted from Fig. 20. A projection type display device 2100 shown in Fig. 20 is an example of an electronic device using the electro-optical device 1.

[0073] In a projection type display device 2100 shown in FIG. 20, the electro-optical device 1 is used as a light valve, and high-definition and bright display is possible without increasing the size of the device. As shown in FIG. 15, a lamp unit 2102 (light source unit) having a white light source such as a halogen lamp is provided inside the projection type display device 2100. The projection light emitted from the lamp unit 2102 is separated into three primary colors of R (red), G (green), and B (blue) by three mirrors 2106 and two dichroic mirrors 2108 arranged inside. The separated projection light is guided to light valves 1R, 1G, and 1B corresponding to each primary color, respectively, and modulated. Since the light of B color has a longer optical path than the other R and G colors, in order to prevent its loss, it is guided through a relay lens system 2121 having an entrance lens 2122, a relay lens 2123, and an exit lens 2124.

[0074] The light modulated by the light valves 1R, 1G, and 1B enters the dichroic prism 2112 from three directions. The R and B light are reflected at 90 degrees by the dichroic prism 2112, and the G light is transmitted through the dichroic prism 2112. Therefore, after the images of each primary color are synthesized, a color image is projected onto the screen 2120 by the projection lens group 2114 (projection optical system).

[0075] (Other projection display devices) Incidentally, the projection display device may be configured to use an LED light source or the like that emits light of each color as the light source section, and supply each of the color lights emitted from the LED light source to a separate liquid crystal device.

[0076] (Other electronic devices) An electronic device including the electro-optical device 1 to which the present invention is applied is not limited to the projection type display device 2100 of the above embodiment. For example, the present invention may be used in electronic devices such as a projection type HUD (head-up display) or a direct-view type HMD (head-mounted display), a personal computer, a digital still camera, and a liquid crystal television.
