[0128] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
[0129] The transistors used in all embodiments of the present disclosure may be thin film transistors, field effect transistors, or other devices with the same characteristics. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, to distinguish the two electrodes of the transistor other than the gate, one electrode is referred to as the first electrode and the other electrode is referred to as the second electrode.
[0130] In actual operation, when the transistor is a thin film transistor or a field effect transistor, the first electrode may be a drain, and the second electrode may be a source; or, the first electrode may be a source, and the second electrode may be a drain.
[0131] The display substrate according to the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a substrate, and a first transistor and a second transistor disposed on the substrate; the second transistor includes a gate, a first electrode, and a second electrode;
[0132] The active pattern of the first transistor and the active pattern of the second transistor are stacked on the substrate; or the first transistor and the second transistor share an active pattern, and the gate of the first transistor and the active pattern of the second transistor are stacked on the substrate;
[0133] A gate of the first transistor is located on a side of the active pattern of the first transistor away from the substrate; the active pattern of the second transistor is in direct contact with the first electrode of the second transistor, and the active pattern of the second transistor is in direct contact with the second electrode of the second transistor.
[0134] In the related art, as the integration of display panels gradually increases, multiple TFTs (thin-film transistors) need to be arranged in a pixel area, resulting in a serious shortage of arrangement space. Top-gate TFTs can increase the on-current (Ion) of the TFT due to their structural advantages. However, since the top-gate TFT structure generally has two vias to achieve overlap and connectivity between the source and drain electrodes and the active pattern, further space compression is difficult and is prone to short circuits between vias. BCE (back-channel etched) TFTs are bottom-gate TFT structures. In this structure, the source and drain electrodes of the TFT can be directly electrically connected to the active pattern, which can significantly save the space occupied by the TFT. However, since the source and drain electrodes overlap with the orthographic projection of the gate electrode on the substrate, parasitic capacitance may occur, resulting in increased power consumption. Therefore, the embodiments of the present disclosure comprehensively consider the advantages and disadvantages of top-gate and bottom-gate TFT structures and propose a TFT structure that combines BCE TFTs and top-gate TFTs.
[0135] In at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first transistor and the second transistor may be stacked on the substrate to reduce the size occupied by the transistors, thereby saving space and reducing power consumption.
[0136] In a specific implementation, the first transistor and the second transistor may be stacked sequentially along a direction away from the substrate, or the second transistor and the first transistor may be stacked sequentially along a direction away from the substrate.
[0137] In at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first transistor is a top-gate transistor, and the second transistor is a BCE transistor.
[0138] In at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, the active pattern of the first transistor (a transistor with a top-gate structure) and the active pattern of the second transistor (a transistor with a BCE structure) are stacked in sequence in a direction away from the substrate.
[0139] In a specific implementation, the active pattern of the first transistor and the active pattern of the second transistor may be arranged in sequence along a direction away from the substrate.
[0140] In at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first transistor and the second transistor share a common gate.
[0141] In a specific implementation, the first transistor and the second transistor may share a gate to reduce the number of masks used.
[0142] In at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first electrode of the first transistor, the second electrode of the first transistor, the first electrode of the second transistor, and the second electrode of the second transistor are arranged in the same layer.
[0143] In a specific implementation, the first electrode of the first transistor, the second electrode of the first transistor, the first electrode of the second transistor and the second electrode of the second transistor can be set in the same metal layer, and the first electrode of the first transistor, the second electrode of the first transistor, the first electrode of the second transistor and the second electrode of the second transistor can be manufactured through the same metal layer, so as to reduce the number of masks used.
[0144] In at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, the active pattern of the first transistor includes a semiconductor portion and a conductor portion; the first electrode of the first transistor is located in a first metal layer (SD layer); the active pattern of the first transistor is located in the first semiconductor layer, and the active pattern of the second transistor is located in the second semiconductor layer, and the first semiconductor layer, the second semiconductor layer, and the first metal layer are stacked in sequence in a direction away from the substrate;
[0145] At least a portion of an orthographic projection of the conductor portion on the substrate is covered by a pattern formed in the first metal layer and / or a pattern formed in the second semiconductor layer.
[0146] Optionally, the first metal layer may be a first source / drain metal layer.
[0147] The display substrate described in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure further includes a passivation layer disposed on a side of the first metal layer away from the base.
[0148] In a specific implementation, when the first transistor is an oxide transistor, when a passivation layer is formed above the second transistor, N2O (nitrous oxide) plasma surface treatment and oxygen-rich conditions may cause the conductor portion of the first transistor to be partially deconducted. Therefore, a pattern formed on the first metal layer and / or a pattern formed on the second semiconductor layer can be used to shield at least a portion of the conductor portion to improve the phenomenon of partial deconduction of the conductor portion of the first transistor.

[0162] In a specific implementation, the display substrate may further include a third transistor, which may be a transistor with a BCE structure. The orthographic projection of the gate of the third transistor on the substrate may cover the orthographic projection of the semiconductor portion included in the active pattern of the third transistor on the substrate, so that the SS (subthreshold swing) of the third transistor can be larger, allowing the third transistor to be fully turned on, and the gate of the third transistor can be used for light shielding to prevent the semiconductor pattern in the active pattern of the third transistor from being illuminated.
