AI Technical Summary
When preparing small-sized thin-film transistor devices, the existing technology shortens the effective channel region by too much ΔL, resulting in unstable thin-film transistor device characteristics. In particular, the diffusion of injected particles during high-temperature processes causes fluctuations in device characteristics, which cannot meet the requirements of high-resolution display backplanes.
A driving backplane structure is designed in which the gate insulation layer is divided into two parts. The first part overlaps with the gate and active layer, and the second part does not overlap with the gate and is located on both sides of it. The second part is thinner than the first part and is connected to the active layer through an intermediate dielectric layer to reduce bombardment and diffusion during particle injection and ensure transistor stability.
The shortening amplitude ΔL of the effective channel region of the thin film transistor is effectively reduced, the stability and characteristics of the small-size transistor are improved, and the device is suitable for the preparation of high-resolution display backplanes.

[0101] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure, a driving backplane, a display panel and a display device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure are further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0102] The embodiments of the present disclosure will be described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the illustrated embodiments may be embodied in different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete and will fully enable those skilled in the art to understand the scope of this disclosure.
[0103] The embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to the embodiments shown in the drawings, but include modifications of the configurations formed based on the manufacturing process. Therefore, the regions illustrated in the drawings are schematic in nature, and the shapes of the regions shown in the drawings illustrate specific shapes of the regions, but are not intended to be limiting.
[0104] In related technologies, to meet the real-world demand for high resolution, thin-film transistors (TFTs) must be as small as possible to ensure the highest possible pixel density and aperture ratio. IGZO (Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide) is a thin-film transistor (TFT) technology used in the channel layer (i.e., active layer) of next-generation thin-film transistors, a type of metal oxide panel technology.
[0105] The technology for conducting the active layer regions corresponding to the source and drain (SD) electrodes in IGZO thin-film transistors (TFTs) is a key technology limiting thin-film transistor fabrication. Currently, ion implantation is used in mass-produced LTPO processes to conduct these regions. Specifically, using the gate metal as a mask, high-speed particles are implanted into the active layer regions corresponding to the source and drain electrodes using specific process parameters. The oxide semiconductor material in these regions loses its semiconducting properties and becomes a conductor. Compared to traditional IGZO conductorization methods, this method offers the advantage of high implantation precision, which is beneficial for ensuring the characteristics of small-scale thin-film transistor devices. However, during the particle implantation process, the gate insulating layer, which is not shielded by the gate, is inevitably bombarded by high-energy particles, causing its structure to become loose and the contact interface between the gate insulating layer and the active layer to become loose, which is detrimental to the subsequent characteristics and stability of the thin-film transistor device. On the other hand, due to the concentration difference of the implanted particles between the regions corresponding to the source and drain electrodes of the active layer and the channel region of the active layer, diffusion of the implanted particles is inevitable during the subsequent high-temperature process, resulting in a shortened effective channel region of the thin film transistor device. Both theory and experiment show that, referring to FIG1a, which is a schematic diagram of the local conductorization process of the active layer of a top-gate IGZO thin film transistor in the related art, after the implanted particles (such as boron ions B) conductorize the regions corresponding to the source 25 and drain 26 of the active layer 2, and then undergo subsequent high-temperature processes such as annealing, due to the concentration difference between the implanted particles in the conductive region 22 of the active layer 2 and the effective channel region (i.e., the non-conductive region) 21, the implanted particles will diffuse from the desired conductive region 22 and its existing region (such as the gate insulating layer) to the effective channel region (i.e., the non-conductive region) 21, thereby causing the actual size of the effective channel region 21 of the thin film transistor device to be smaller than the designed size. Especially for small-sized thin film transistor devices, this diffusion often causes the thin film transistor device to have a large current, making it unusable.
[0106] 1b is a schematic cross-sectional view of a top-gate IGZO thin-film transistor; FIG1c is a schematic diagram showing the relationship between the designed channel region and the actual channel region of the top-gate IGZO thin-film transistor in FIG1b; FIG1c shows that the gate-source voltage (V GS ) increases, the carrier concentration induced by the thin-film transistor increases, and the shortening of the designed channel region of the thin-film transistor, ΔL, decreases. L is the designed channel region length of the thin-film transistor, Leff is the actual channel region length of the thin-film transistor, and ΔL is the length of the conductive channel region due to diffusion of the implanted particles. However, the higher the gate-source voltage of a top-gate IGZO thin-film transistor, the higher the power consumption of the thin-film transistor.
[0107] At present, the actual value of the effective channel area is usually evaluated by the transfer characteristic curve and ΔL value of small-size thin film transistor devices. Referring to Figures 1d and 1e, there are schematic diagrams of the current method of extracting ΔL from thin film transistors. In Figure 1d, the vertical axis represents the resistance R between the source and drain of the thin film transistor, the horizontal axis represents the channel area length L, and the gate-source voltage V of the thin film transistor is ΔL. GS The value range is 1~5V, and the gate-source voltage V GS Within this value range, the value is increased by 0.2V each time to obtain multiple correspondence curves between gate-source voltage, source-drain resistance and channel region length. The intersection of two correspondence curves between gate-source voltage, source-drain resistance and channel region length corresponds to a ΔL, that is, the intersection of the two correspondence curves between gate-source voltage, source-drain resistance and channel region length can determine a ΔL.
[0108] In order to avoid increasing the power consumption of the top-gate IGZO thin film transistor, how to reduce the shortening amplitude ΔL of the effective channel region of the thin film transistor without increasing the gate-source voltage of the top-gate IGZO thin film transistor has become an urgent problem to be solved.
[0109] In order to solve the problem of reducing the shortening amplitude ΔL of the effective channel region of the thin film transistor without increasing the gate-source voltage of the top-gate IGZO thin film transistor in the related art, in the first aspect, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a driving backplane. Referring to Figure 2a, it is a schematic cross-sectional view of a local structure of a driving backplane in the embodiment of the present disclosure; wherein, the driving backplane includes a substrate 1 and a first transistor 100, the first transistor 100 is located on one side of the substrate 1, the first transistor 100 includes an active layer 2, a gate insulating layer 3, a gate 4, a first electrode 5 and a second electrode 6, the active layer 2, the gate insulating layer 3, the gate 4 and the first electrode 5 and the second electrode 6 are stacked away from the substrate 1 in sequence, and an intermediate dielectric layer 7 is further provided between the gate 4 and the first electrode 5 and the second electrode 6, and the orthographic projections of the first electrode 5 and the second electrode 6 on the substrate 1 are located on the active layer 2, the gate insulating layer 3, the gate 4 and the first electrode 5 and the second electrode 6 Layer 2 is at opposite ends of the orthographic projection on the substrate 1, and the active layer 2 is made of oxide semiconductor material; the gate insulating layer 3 includes a first part 31 and a second part 32, the first part 31 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the gate 4 and the active layer 2 on the substrate 1, and the second part 32 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the gate 4, and overlaps with the orthographic projection of the active layer 2 on the substrate 1; the second part 32 is located on opposite sides of the first part 31; the first pole 5 and the second pole 6 are electrically connected to the active layer 2 through a first via 301 and a second via 302 respectively provided in the intermediate dielectric layer 7 and the second part 32; the average value of the distance h1 between all points on the surface of the first part 31 on the side facing away from the substrate 1 and the active layer 2 is greater than the average value of the distance h2 between all points on the surface of the second part 32 on the side facing away from the substrate 1 and the active layer 2.
[0110] The active layer 2 is formed on a flat surface, so the surface of the active layer 2 facing away from the substrate 1 is flat. The area of the active layer 2 that overlaps with the gate 4 is its effective channel region 21. The area of the active layer 2 that overlaps with the gate insulating layer 3 and does not overlap with the gate 4 is the conductive region 22 that needs to be achieved through particle implantation. In some embodiments, the oxide semiconductor material includes indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO). In other words, in this embodiment, the first transistor 100 is an oxide semiconductor transistor.
[0111] In this embodiment, referring to FIG2b, a schematic diagram of the conductorization process of the active layer of the first transistor in the embodiment of the present disclosure is shown; the average value of the distance h1 between all points on the surface of the first portion 31 on the side facing away from the substrate 1 and the active layer 2 is greater than the average value of the distance h2 between all points on the surface of the second portion 32 on the side facing away from the substrate 1 and the active layer 2, that is, the average thickness of the first portion 31 is greater than the average thickness of the second portion 32, so that the thickness of the second portion 32 is thinner than that of the first portion 31, thereby making the particle injection condition of the second portion 32 more moderate, and the acceleration voltage during particle injection is significantly increased. The bombardment energy of the injected particles is weaker, and the injected particles cause less damage to the gate insulating layer 3 and the contact interface between the gate insulating layer 3 and the active layer 2, thereby making the first transistor 100 have better stability; on the other hand, the diffusion ability of the injected particles is weaker, so that the amount of injected particles diffused from the area of the active layer 2 overlapping with the second part 32 to the area of the active layer 2 overlapping with the first part 31 is smaller, thereby reducing the shortening amplitude ΔL of the effective channel region 21 of the first transistor 100, which is beneficial to ensuring the characteristics of the small-sized first transistor 100, and thus is beneficial to the design and preparation of a high-resolution driving backplane.
[0112] Referring to Figure 2c, there is a schematic diagram of the actual verification results of the shortening amplitude of the effective channel region of the first transistor in the embodiment of the present disclosure; as can be seen from Figure 2c, while ensuring the conductor effect of the area overlapping with the second part 32 of the active layer 2 of the first transistor 100, if the thickness of the second part 32 is thinned, the voltage of the particle injection device during particle injection is smaller (such as 35KV, when the second part 32 is not thinned, the injection device voltage needs to be 40KV), and the bombardment energy of the particles on the gate insulating layer 3 is weaker, which not only causes less damage to the gate insulating layer 3 and the contact interface between the gate insulating layer 3 and the active layer 2, but also the diffusion ability of the injected particles is weaker, and the shortening amplitude ΔL of the effective channel region of the first transistor is smaller. In Figure 2c, Vg-Vth represents the gate-source voltage of the first transistor 100 (such as the voltage between the gate 4 and the first electrode 5), and Vd represents the source-drain voltage of the first transistor 100 (i.e., the voltage between the first electrode 5 and the second electrode 6). Referring to Figures 2d and 2e, there are scanning electron microscope images of the first and second parts of the gate insulating layer of the first transistor in the embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0113] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 3 a , which is a schematic cross-sectional view of a partial structure of another driving backplane in an embodiment of the present disclosure; the average thickness of the first portion 31 is greater than the average thickness of the second portion 32 .
[0114] The thickness of the first portion 31 and the second portion 32 is the dimension thereof in a direction away from the substrate 1 .
[0115] 3 a , in some embodiments, the thickness of the second portion 32 may vary by less than 100 angstroms, that is, the thickness of the second portion 32 may be approximately uniform.
[0116] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 3b, a schematic cross-sectional view of the partial structure of another driving backplane in an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown; wherein, along the first direction X, the thickness of the second portion 32 gradually increases, and the first direction X is the direction of the second portion 32 from the end away from the first portion 31 to the end close to the first portion 31.
[0117] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 3 b , the thickness of the second portion 32 gradually increases along the first direction X in a linear manner, an arc-shaped manner, a step-shaped manner, or other forms of gradually increasing trends.
[0118] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 3b, on the one hand, the portion with a smaller thickness of the second part 32 is more conducive to making the ion implantation conditions milder, thereby making the bombardment energy of the implanted particles weaker, and thereby making the implanted particles less damaging to the gate insulating layer 3 and the contact interface between the gate insulating layer 3 and the active layer 2, so that the first transistor 100 has better stability; on the other hand, the diffusion ability of the implanted particles is weaker, and the implanted particles need to pass through the portion with a larger thickness of the second part 32 during the diffusion process before they can diffuse to the effective channel region 21 of the active layer 2. Therefore, the amount of implanted particles diffused from the area of the active layer 2 overlapping with the second part 32 to the area of the active layer 2 overlapping with the first part 31 will be further reduced, thereby further reducing the shortening amplitude ΔL of the effective channel region 21 of the first transistor 100, which is more conducive to ensuring the characteristics of the small-sized first transistor 100.
[0119] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 3c, which is a schematic cross-sectional view of the partial structure of another driving backplane in an embodiment of the present disclosure; wherein, along the second direction Y, the thickness of the second portion 32 gradually increases, and the second direction Y is the direction of the second portion 32 from one end close to the first portion 31 to the end away from the first portion 31.
[0120] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 3 c , the thickness of the second portion 32 gradually increases along the second direction Y in a linear manner, an arc-shaped manner, a step-shaped manner, or other forms of gradually increasing trends.
[0121] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 3 c , since the average thickness of the second portion 32 is less than the average thickness of the first portion 31 , on the one hand, the thicker portion of the second portion 32 is still conducive to making the ion implantation conditions milder, thereby making the bombardment energy of the implanted particles weaker, thereby reducing the damage of the implanted particles to the gate insulating layer 3 and the contact interface between the gate insulating layer 3 and the active layer 2, and thus improving the stability of the first transistor 100. On the other hand, the diffusion ability of the implanted particles is weaker, and during the diffusion process, the implanted particles need to pass through the thinner portion of the second portion 32 before they can diffuse into the effective channel region 21 of the active layer 2. During the diffusion process, a large portion of the implanted particles cannot diffuse into the effective channel region 21 through the thinner portion of the second portion 32. Therefore, the amount of implanted particles diffused from the region of the active layer 2 overlapping with the second portion 32 to the region of the active layer 2 overlapping with the first portion 31 is further reduced, thereby further reducing the shortening amplitude ΔL of the effective channel region 21 of the first transistor 100, which is more conducive to ensuring the characteristics of the small-sized first transistor 100.

On the one hand, the injected particles can cause less damage to the gate insulating layer 3 and the contact interface between the gate insulating layer 3 and the active layer 2, so that the first transistor 100 has better stability; on the other hand, the amount of injected particles diffusing from the area of the active layer 2 overlapping with the second portion 32 to the area of the active layer 2 overlapping with the first portion 31 can be further reduced, thereby further reducing the shortening amplitude ΔL of the effective channel region 21 of the first transistor 100, which is more conducive to ensuring the characteristics of the small-sized first transistor 100.

On the one hand, the injected particles can cause less damage to the gate insulating layer 3 and the contact interface between the gate insulating layer 3 and the active layer 2, so that the first transistor 100 has better stability; on the other hand, the amount of the injected particles diffusing from the area of the active layer 2 overlapping with the second portion 32 to the area of the active layer 2 overlapping with the first portion 31 can be further reduced, thereby further reducing the shortening amplitude ΔL of the effective channel region 21 of the first transistor 100, which is more conducive to ensuring the characteristics of the small-sized first transistor 100.
[0128] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 3f, a schematic cross-sectional view of the partial structure of another driving backplane in an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown; wherein, along the first direction X, the thickness of the second portion 32 alternately increases and decreases, and the first direction X is the direction of the second portion 32 from the end away from the first portion 31 to the end close to the first portion 31.

On the one hand, the injected particles can cause less damage to the gate insulating layer 3 and the contact interface between the gate insulating layer 3 and the active layer 2, so that the first transistor 100 has better stability; on the other hand, the amount of injected particles diffusing from the area of the active layer 2 overlapping with the second portion 32 to the area of the active layer 2 overlapping with the first portion 31 can be further reduced, thereby further reducing the shortening amplitude ΔL of the effective channel region 21 of the first transistor 100, which is more conducive to ensuring the characteristics of the small-sized first transistor 100.
[0131] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 3g , a schematic cross-sectional view of a partial structure of another embodiment of the driver backplane is shown. The second portion 32 of the structure in FIG. 3g is based on the structure of the second portion 32 in FIG. 3d . A thickness-maintaining portion is further provided between the increased-thickness portion and the decreased-thickness portion of the second portion 32 , maintaining a consistent thickness. Specifically, to account for thickness variations, the thickness of the thickness-maintaining portion is less than 100 angstroms.
[0132] In some embodiments, based on the structure of the second part 32 in Figures 3e and 3f, a thickness maintaining portion may be provided between the thickness increasing portion and the thickness decreasing portion of the second part 32, and the thickness of the thickness maintaining portion may remain consistent.
[0133] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 3 a - FIG 3 g , the thickness difference of the first portion 31 is less than 100 angstroms.
[0134] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 3 a - FIG 3 g , the thickness of the first portion 31 is greater than the thickness of the second portion 32 .
[0135] In some embodiments, the thickness of the first portion 31 is equal to the maximum thickness of the second portion 32 .
[0136] In some embodiments, the thickness of the first portion 31 is less than the maximum thickness of the second portion 32 .
[0137] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 4a, which is a schematic cross-sectional view of the partial structure of another driving backplane in an embodiment of the present disclosure; wherein, the first part 31 includes a first sub-part 311, a second sub-part 312 and a third sub-part 313, and the second sub-part 312 is located between the first sub-part 311 and the third sub-part 313. Along the third direction Z, the thickness of the first sub-part 311 and the third sub-part 313 gradually increases, and the third direction Z is the direction of the first sub-part 311 and the third sub-part 313 from one end close to the second part 32 to the other end away from the second part 32; the thickness of the second sub-part 312 remains consistent; the thickness of the second sub-part 312 is consistent with the maximum thickness of the first sub-part 311 and the third sub-part 313.
[0138] In some embodiments, referring to FIG4b, a schematic cross-sectional view of a partial structure of another driving backplane in an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown; wherein, the first portion 31 includes a first sub-portion 311, a second sub-portion 312, and a third sub-portion 313, the second sub-portion 312 is located between the first sub-portion 311 and the third sub-portion 313, the first sub-portion 311 and the third sub-portion 313 both include a gradually increasing thickness portion and a thickness maintaining portion, the gradually increasing thickness portion and the thickness maintaining portion of the first sub-portion 311 and the third sub-portion 313 are respectively arranged in sequence along the third direction Z, along The thickness of the gradually increasing portion in the third direction Z gradually increases, while the thickness of the thickness-maintaining portion remains consistent. The third direction Z is the direction from the end of the first sub-portion 311 and the third sub-portion 313 closer to the end farther from the second portion 32. The thickness of the thickness-maintaining portion of the first sub-portion 311 and the third sub-portion 313 remains consistent with the maximum thickness of the gradually increasing portion. The thickness of the second sub-portion 312 remains consistent. The thickness of the second sub-portion 312 is less than the thickness of the thickness-maintaining portion of the first sub-portion 311 and the third sub-portion 313. Considering the existence of thickness errors, the thickness difference of the film layers that maintain consistent thickness is less than 100 angstroms.
[0139] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4c, there is a schematic cross-sectional view of the partial structure of another driving backplane in an embodiment of the present disclosure; wherein, the first sub-section 311 and the third sub-section 313 also include a thickness gradually decreasing portion, and the thickness of the thickness gradually decreasing portion gradually decreases along the third direction Z. The thickness gradually decreasing portion of the first sub-section 311 is located between its thickness maintaining portion and the second sub-section 312, and the thickness gradually decreasing portion of the third sub-section 313 is located between its thickness maintaining portion and the second sub-section 312.
[0140] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 4a-4c, the thickness of a first edge region 310 of the first portion 31 where it joins the second portion 32 is greater than the thickness of a second edge region 320 of the second portion 32 where it joins the first portion 31. With this configuration, because the average thickness of the second portion 32 is less than the average thickness of the first portion 31, the diffusion capability of the injected particles is weaker. Furthermore, during the diffusion process, the injected particles must pass through the thinner second edge region 320 of the second portion 32 before they can reach the effective channel region 21 of the active layer 2. During the diffusion process, a significant portion of the injected particles cannot pass through the thinner second edge region 320 of the second portion 32 to reach the effective channel region 21. This further reduces the amount of injected particles that diffuse from the region of the active layer 2 overlapping with the second portion 32 to the region of the active layer 2 overlapping with the first portion 31. This further reduces the shortening amplitude ΔL of the effective channel region 21 of the first transistor 100, further facilitating the performance of the small-sized first transistor 100.
[0141] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 4a-4c, the difference between the average thickness of the first portion 31 and the average thickness of the second portion 32 ranges from 50 to 2000 angstroms. For the first transistor 100 whose channel region uses an oxide semiconductor material, the purpose of forming this special structure is, on the one hand, to enhance the stability of the device; on the other hand, to ensure that the actual length of the device's effective channel region is closer to the designed value, that is, to reduce the amount of implanted particles diffusing from the region of the active layer 2 overlapping with the second portion 32 to the region of the active layer 2 overlapping with the first portion 31, thereby reducing the shortening amplitude ΔL of the effective channel region 21 of the first transistor 100. The first transistor 100 with this special structure has superior performance in terms of higher gate-source voltage (Vgs), higher source-drain voltage (Vds), high annealing temperature in subsequent processes, and stability testing in high temperature and high humidity environments.
[0142] In the related art, for low-temperature polysilicon transistors, the thickness of the gate insulating layer corresponding to the channel region is set to be greater than the thickness of the gate insulating layer corresponding to the source and drain regions. For example, the difference between the thickness of the gate insulating layer corresponding to the channel region and the thickness of the gate insulating layer corresponding to the source and drain regions is in the range of 100 to 1500 angstroms. However, the purpose and principle of adopting this structural design for the gate insulating layer of the low-temperature polysilicon transistor are completely different from those of the oxide semiconductor transistor in this embodiment. The purpose of adopting this structural design for the gate insulating layer of the low-temperature polysilicon transistor is to form a lightly doped drain region (i.e., LDD region) of the low-temperature polysilicon transistor, that is, to increase the source-drain barrier, thereby reducing the leakage current of the low-temperature polysilicon transistor and weakening the thermal electron emission effect caused by the presence of the drain electric field. This structural design of the gate insulating layer of the low-temperature polysilicon transistor can only play a relatively beneficial role under a relatively large source-drain voltage (Vds). When the low-temperature polysilicon transistor has a relatively small source-drain voltage, there is no need to worry about excessive leakage current.
[0143] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 5a, it is an actual top view of the area of the second part of the gate insulation layer of the first transistor not covered by the gate, the first pole and the second pole in the embodiment of the present disclosure; referring to Figure 5b, it is a schematic top view of the area of the second part of the gate insulation layer of the first transistor not covered by the gate, the first pole and the second pole in the embodiment of the present disclosure; Figure 5c is a structural cross-sectional view along the AA' section line in Figure 5b; wherein, the second part 32 includes a first sub-section 321 and a second sub-section 322, the first sub-section 321 and the second sub-section 322 are located on opposite sides of the first part 31, and the length s1 of the first sub-section 321 extending along the fourth direction P is greater than the length s2 of the second sub-section 322 extending along the fourth direction P; the fourth direction P is the arrangement direction of the first part 31 and the second part 32.
[0144] In some embodiments, referring to FIG6 , a comparison diagram of the concentration of particles injected along the direction of the second portion close to the substrate after and before the second portion is thinned is shown in the embodiment of the present disclosure; the concentration of particles in the active layer 2 overlapping with the second portion 32 to make it conductive is in the range of 1.0×10 20 atoms / cm 3 ~5.0×10 20 atoms / cm 3 .
[0145] In some embodiments, the left vertical axis in FIG6 represents the concentration of particles that make the active layer 2 conductive, and the unit is atoms / cm 3The horizontal axis represents the film depth reached along the fifth direction M from the surface of the second portion 32 on the side facing away from the substrate 1, in nm. Referring to FIG6 , the concentration of the particles making the active layer 2 conductive along the fifth direction M in the second portion 32 gradually increases, and the concentration of the particles making the active layer 2 conductive in the second portion 32 is ≤5.0×10 20 atoms / cm 3 The fifth direction M is the direction of the second portion 32 from the side away from the substrate 1 to the side close to the substrate 1. The side of the second portion 32 close to the substrate 1 is sequentially provided with the active layer 2 and the buffer layer 9.
[0146] In some embodiments, referring to FIG6 , particles such as boron ions (B) and fluorine ions (F) are used to make the active layer 2 conductive. The vertical axis on the right side of FIG6 represents the current intensity of the first transistor 100, which is determined by the silicon (Si) and oxygen (O) concentrations in the second portion 32, the active layer 2, and the buffer layer 9, in units of C / s.
[0147] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 7a and 7b, Figure 7a is a schematic cross-sectional view of a partial structure of another embodiment of the present invention; Figure 7b is another scanning electron microscope image of the first and second portions of the gate insulating layer of the first transistor in the embodiment of the present invention; wherein the driving backplane further comprises an inorganic insulating layer 10 and an organic insulating layer 11, which are sequentially stacked on the side of the first electrode 5 and the second electrode 6 facing away from the substrate 1, and the shape of the surface of the inorganic insulating layer 10 facing away from the substrate 1 that overlaps with the orthographic projection of the active layer 2 on the substrate 1 and the shape of the surface of the gate insulating layer 3 facing away from the substrate 1 that overlaps with the orthographic projection of the active layer 2 on the substrate 1 are adapted; the thickness of the inorganic insulating layer 10 is consistent. That is, considering the actual thickness error of the inorganic insulating layer 10, the thickness difference of the inorganic insulating layer 10 is less than 100 angstroms.
[0148] In some embodiments, the material of gate insulating layer 3 includes any one or more of aluminum oxide, silicon oxide, silicon nitride, and silicon oxynitride. Gate insulating layer 3 may be a stack of multiple sub-layers, each made of a different material. The material of intermediate dielectric layer 7 and inorganic insulating layer 10 is the same as that of gate insulating layer 3.
[0149] In some embodiments, the inorganic insulating layer 10 is stacked sequentially on the first passivation layer 101 and the second passivation layer 102 on the side of the first electrode 5 and the second electrode 6 facing away from the substrate 1, and the organic insulating layer 11 is stacked on the first planar layer on the side of the second passivation layer facing away from the substrate 1. In a scanning electron microscope image of the driving backplane, even if the inorganic insulating film layers such as the gate insulating layer 3, the intermediate dielectric layer 7, the first passivation layer 101, and the second passivation layer 102 are not deposited continuously, it is difficult to see the boundary between any two adjacent film layers. However, after the organic insulating layer 11 is applied, a very clear and distinct boundary between the organic insulating layer 11 and the second passivation layer 102 can be seen. Based on this, the total thickness H1 of all inorganic insulating film layers between the active layer 2 and the organic insulating layer 11 overlapping with the second part 32 is calculated, and the thickness H2 of the first part 31 and the total thickness H3 of all inorganic insulating film layers between the gate 4 and the organic insulating layer 11 are calculated. Then (H2+H3-H1) is the thickness of the second part 32 that is thinned relative to the first part 31; for example: H1=8854 angstroms; H2=1480 angstroms; H3=7940 angstroms; then H2+H3-H1=566 angstroms.
[0150] It should be noted that the method for calculating the reduced thickness of the second portion 32 relative to the first portion 31 is only applicable to the case where the thickness of the first portion 31 and the thickness of the second portion 32 are consistent.

That is, the second transistor 200 is a low-temperature polysilicon transistor. The pixel circuit 8 is an LTPO (low-temperature polycrystalline oxide) pixel circuit, such as a pixel circuit in an OLED display panel, a pixel circuit in a Mini LED display panel, and a pixel circuit in a Micro LED display panel.
[0154] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 3a, a first gate insulating layer 205 is provided between the active layer 201 and the gate 202 of the second transistor 200, and a first intermediate dielectric layer 12 and a buffer layer 9 are provided between the gate 202 of the second transistor 200 and the active layer 2 of the first transistor 100; a first buffer layer 13 is also provided between the second transistor 200 and the substrate 1; a light-shielding layer 14 is also provided on the side of the active layer 201 of at least part of the second transistor 200 close to the substrate 1, and the light-shielding layer 14 blocks the overlapping area of the active layer 201 and the gate 202 of the second transistor 200, thereby preventing external light from irradiating the channel area of the active layer 201 of the second transistor 200, thereby improving or avoiding an increase in the leakage current of the second transistor 200.

This gradually dissipates the internal electric field created by the directional movement of impurity ions within the light-emitting device D, thereby restoring the characteristics of the light-emitting device D.
[0166] Data writing and threshold compensation stage (t2): The scan line Ga (A) is written as a low-level signal, and the reset control signal line Rst and the first light-emitting control line EM are written as high-level signals; the data writing transistor T4 and the threshold compensation transistor T2 are turned on. The driving transistor T3 is connected by the threshold compensation transistor T2 to form a diode structure, and the data voltage Vdata written on the data line Data is written to the gate of the driving transistor T3 through the data writing transistor T4 and the threshold compensation transistor T2 until the driving transistor T3 is turned off. The gate voltage of the driving transistor T3 is Vdata + Vth (Vth < 0, Vth is the threshold voltage of the driving transistor T3) and is stored in the storage capacitor Cst. The voltages of the first plate and the second plate of the storage capacitor Cst are Vdata + Vth and Vd, respectively.
[0167] Light-emitting phase (t3): A low-level signal is written to the light-emitting control line EM, and high-level signals are written to the scan line Ga(A) and the reset control signal line Rst. The first light-emitting control transistor T5 and the second light-emitting control transistor T6 are both turned on. The source of the driving transistor T3 is connected to the first power supply voltage line VDD, which is at Vdd. The source voltage of the driving transistor T3 changes instantaneously from Vdata in the previous phase to Vdd. The light-emitting device D emits light under the drive transistor T3. At this time, the driving transistor T3 operates in the saturation region. The gate voltage of the driving transistor T3 is Vdata + Vth, and the source voltage of the driving transistor T3 is Vdd. Therefore, the gate-source voltage of the driving transistor T3 is: Vgs = (Vdata + Vth) - Vdd, until the reset phase of the next frame.
[0168] The light-emitting current of the light-emitting device D is equal to the current flowing through the driving transistor T3, and its expression is as follows: I D =β(Vgs-Vth) 2=β(Vdata+Vth-Vdd-Vth) 2 =β(Vdata-Vdd) 2 ;
[0169] in, μ n is the electron mobility of the driving transistor T3, C ox is the insulation capacitance per unit area, is the width-to-length ratio of the driving transistor T3.
[0170] In this embodiment, referring to Figure 8, the threshold compensation transistor T2 uses an oxide semiconductor transistor (such as an IGZO transistor); the first reset transistor T1, the driving transistor T3, the data writing transistor T4, the first light-emitting control transistor T5, the second light-emitting control transistor T6 and the second reset transistor T7 all use low-temperature polysilicon transistors (i.e., LTPS transistors).
[0171] Among them, low-temperature polysilicon transistors have better switching speed, fast response, and stronger current driving capability, but the high electron mobility of low-temperature polysilicon transistors makes the leakage current relatively large, the low-frequency driving power consumption is large, it is difficult to maintain static black, and the picture is poor; if the low-temperature polysilicon transistor is made larger to reduce the leakage current, it will affect the screen resolution; in addition, the low-temperature polysilicon transistor has a large hysteresis and is prone to afterimages; oxide semiconductor transistors have low leakage and high uniformity, which can complement the above-mentioned shortcomings of low-temperature polysilicon transistors.
[0172] In the disclosed embodiment, the threshold compensation transistor T2 is an oxide semiconductor transistor because the voltage of the storage capacitor Cst is equivalent to the stored data signal. When the screen display is not refreshed, the storage capacitor Cst will slowly leak through the threshold compensation transistor T2, causing the voltage of the storage capacitor Cst to gradually decrease. If it is not recharged by refreshing, the brightness of the light-emitting device D will change. From a macroscopic perspective, the screen image will become dirty or discolored. In fact, the light-emitting device D may be directly extinguished due to leakage. Oxide semiconductor transistors have the characteristic of low leakage. Using an oxide semiconductor transistor for the threshold compensation transistor T2 can alleviate the above-mentioned problem, that is, the refresh rate can be reduced to a lower level without worrying about the display problems caused by leakage. Using an oxide semiconductor transistor for the threshold compensation transistor T2 can reduce the power consumption of the light-emitting device D at low refresh rates, while avoiding the low refresh rate display anomalies caused by leakage when the threshold compensation transistor T2 is a low-temperature polysilicon transistor. Oxide semiconductor transistors have better uniformity, which can reduce the problems of dirty screen and color cast at low brightness when the pixel circuits are all low-temperature polysilicon transistors.
