本发明的实施方式
为了使本发明的目的、技术方案及优点更加清楚明白,以下结合附图及实施例,对本发明进行进一步详细说明。应当理解,此处所描述的具体实施例仅仅用以解释本发明,并不用于限定本发明。
本发明实施例经由同一掩膜版刻蚀基板上部分刻蚀阻挡层、栅极金属层和栅极绝缘层,保留位于栅极区的金属氧化物层、栅极绝缘层、栅极金属层和刻蚀阻挡层以及位于源极区和漏极区用以形成接触过孔部分的金属氧化物层、栅极绝缘层和栅极金属层,如此一次确定栅极、源漏极和源漏极接触过孔的位置,并使后续通过材料替换形成的源极接触过孔和漏极接触过孔与栅极的间距相等,从而使源漏极与栅极自对准和源漏极接触过孔与栅极自对准且对称,由此制成的薄膜晶体管不易发生短路、断路,寄生电容小,所制电路运行速度快。
下面以金属氧化物薄膜晶体管为例对本发明的实现进行详细描述。
实施例一
图1示出了本发明实施例提供的薄膜晶体管的制造方法实现流程,详述如下。
在步骤S101中,于基板上形成金属氧化物层、栅极绝缘层、栅极金属层和刻蚀阻挡层。
如图2所示,本发明实施例先在基板1上沉积金属氧化物层2,其中所述基板1材料可以为玻璃、塑料等,所述基板1还可预先沉积至少一个缓冲层。如图3所示,采用光刻工艺刻蚀掉薄膜晶体管区以外的金属氧化物层。接着,在所述金属氧化物层2上依序沉积栅极绝缘层3、栅极金属层4和刻蚀阻挡层5,如图4所示。
在步骤S102中,经由同一掩膜版刻蚀所述基板上部分刻蚀阻挡层、栅极金属层和栅极绝缘层,保留位于栅极区的金属氧化物层、栅极绝缘层、栅极金属层和刻蚀阻挡层以及位于源极区和漏极区用以形成接触过孔部分的金属氧化物层、栅极绝缘层和栅极金属层,使位于所述源极区和漏极区其余部分的金属氧化物层暴露。
如图5所示,本发明实施例经由同一掩膜版6刻蚀所述基板1上部分刻蚀阻挡层、部分栅极金属层和部分栅极绝缘层,此处采用光刻工艺进行刻蚀。刻蚀掉部分刻蚀阻挡层、部分栅极金属层和部分栅极绝缘层后,保留位于栅极区的金属氧化物层、栅极绝缘层、栅极金属层和刻蚀阻挡层以及位于源极区和漏极区用以形成接触过孔部分的金属氧化物层、栅极绝缘层和栅极金属层。同时,使位于所述源极区和漏极区其余部分的金属氧化物层暴露,此处至少暴露所述源极区和漏极区用以形成接触过孔的部分与栅极区之间的金属氧化物层。
具体地,先于所述刻蚀阻挡层5之上均匀涂布光刻胶,使所述光刻胶上表面为平直表面,并将掩膜版6置于所述光刻胶之上。其中,所述掩膜版为灰阶掩膜版。接着由作用光投射于所述掩膜版6,对所述光刻胶进行曝光、显影处理,使位于栅极区的光刻胶较位于源极区和漏极区用以形成接触过孔部分的光刻胶厚,同时使位于源极区用以形成接触过孔部分的光刻胶与位于漏极区用以形成接触过孔部分的光刻胶等厚,并去除其它位置的光刻胶,此时所述光刻胶7处于各位置的厚度由灰阶掩膜版相应部分的透光率决定。然后刻蚀掉部分刻蚀阻挡层、部分栅极金属层和部分栅极绝缘层,刻蚀掉的薄膜层数由所述掩膜版6决定。具体刻蚀时先刻蚀所有暴露的刻蚀阻挡层(即未被光刻胶覆盖的刻蚀阻挡层)以及与该刻蚀阻挡层对位的栅极金属层和栅极绝缘层,如图6所示;接着减薄所述光刻胶处于各位置的厚度,直至位于所述源极区和漏极区用以形成接触过孔部分的光刻胶完全去除,如图7所示;然后刻蚀掉位于所述源极区和漏极区用以形成接触过孔部分的刻蚀阻挡层,如图8所示;最后去除所有光刻胶,如图9所示。其中,所述作用光可为紫外光。
这样保留了位于栅极区的金属氧化物层、栅极绝缘层、栅极金属层和刻蚀阻挡层以及位于源极区和漏极区用以形成接触过孔部分的金属氧化物层、栅极绝缘层和栅极金属层。同时,使部分金属氧化物层暴露,即暴露所述源极区和漏极区用以形成接触过孔的部分与栅极区之间的金属氧化物层。当然,还可以暴露所述源极区和漏极区用以形成接触过孔部分周围的金属氧化物层。如此一次确定栅极、源漏极和源漏极接触过孔的位置,并使后续通过材料替换形成的源极接触过孔和漏极接触过孔与栅极的间距相等,从而使源漏极与栅极自对准和源漏极接触过孔与栅极自对准且对称,由此制成的薄膜晶体管不易发生短路、断路,寄生电容小,所制电路运行速度快。
在步骤S103中,金属化位于所述源极区和漏极区且暴露的金属氧化物层,使之成为部分源极和漏极,而后沉积钝化层。
如图10所示,本发明实施例先通过等离子处理,使位于所述源极区和漏极区且暴露的金属氧化物层金属化。例如,于所述栅极区、源极区和漏极区氢化氮化硅SiNx:H绝缘保护层,该氢化过程直接将位于所述源极区和漏极区且暴露的金属氧化物层金属化,成为部分源极和漏极,大大节省了工艺步骤。金属化后,该部分源极和漏极为导电的源极和漏极。相比于现有技术通过等离子(Ar或者H-rich NH3)形成自对准的源漏极器件,本发明实施例所制薄膜晶体管源漏极电阻率大大降低,器件性能显著提高,同时因为本制造方法减少了昂贵的工艺步骤,整体制造成本降低。另外,本自对准工艺可以最小化栅极与源漏极的重叠,沟道尺寸可以精确控制,从而可能显著减小沟道尺寸,提高器件性能。
接着,沉积覆盖所述栅极区、源极区和漏极区的钝化层8,即在所述基板一侧沉积钝化层8,该钝化层8同时覆盖所述栅极区、源极区和漏极区,如图11所示。其中,所述钝化层8可以为SiNx薄膜或SiO2/SiNx的多层薄膜。
在步骤S104中,刻蚀位于所述源极区和漏极区用以形成接触过孔部分的钝化层、栅极金属层和栅极绝缘层,暴露位于所述源极区和漏极区用以形成接触过孔部分的金属氧化物层,由此形成源极接触过孔和漏极接触过孔。
本发明实施例通过光刻工艺刻蚀位于所述源极区和漏极区用以形成接触过孔部分的钝化层、栅极金属层和栅极绝缘层,使位于所述源极区和漏极区用以形成接触过孔部分的金属氧化物层暴露,由此形成源极接触过孔9和漏极接触过孔10。
具体地,先光刻位于所述源极区和漏极区用以形成接触过孔部分的钝化层,由此形成源极接触过孔和漏极接触过孔的上半部分,如图12所示。该上半部分的侧面可倾斜于金属氧化物层,工艺要求低,易于光刻。接着,进一步刻蚀位于所述源极区和漏极区用以形成接触过孔部分的栅极金属层和栅极绝缘层。如图13所示,直至暴露位于所述源极区和漏极区用以形成接触过孔部分的金属氧化物层,由此形成源极接触过孔和漏极接触过孔的下半部分,该下半部分的侧面垂直于金属氧化物层,这样使得源极接触过孔9和漏极接触过孔10的下半部分与栅极11的间距相等且对称,即所制薄膜晶体管不会发生断路、短路等现象。
在步骤S105中,金属化位于所述源极区和漏极区且暴露的金属氧化物层,使之分别与已形成的部分源极和漏极电连接,形成完整的源极和漏极。
如图14所示,本发明实施例先通过等离子处理,使位于所述源极区和漏极区且暴露的金属氧化物层金属化。例如,于所述栅极区、源极区和漏极区氢化氮化硅SiNx:H绝缘保护层,该氢化过程直接将位于所述源极区和漏极区且暴露的金属氧化物层金属化,并分别与已形成的部分源极和漏极电连接,形成完整的源极和漏极。金属化后,该完整的源极12和漏极13为导电的源极和漏极,而位于该源极12与漏极13间的金属氧化物层形成薄膜晶体管的沟道18。
在步骤S106中,于所述源极接触过孔和漏极接触过孔内填充导电材料。
如图15~17所示,本发明实施例于所述源极接触过孔9和漏极接触过孔10内填充导电材料14,并使该导电材料14凸设于钝化层8,利于制作后续电极。另外,于所述源极区和漏极区钝化层之上沉积透明金属电极19。当然,还可于所述栅极区制作穿过钝化层和刻蚀阻挡层的电极。
实施例二
图18示出了本发明实施例提供的薄膜晶体管像素单元的制造方法实现流程,详述如下。
在步骤S201中,于基板上形成金属氧化物层、栅极绝缘层、栅极金属层和刻蚀阻挡层,其中所述金属氧化物层位于薄膜晶体管区。
如图19所示,本发明实施例先在基板21上沉积金属氧化物层22,其中所述基板21材料可以为玻璃、塑料等,所述基板21还可预先沉积至少一层缓冲层。如图20所示,为制作具有存储电容的薄膜晶体管像素单元,需刻蚀掉所述基板21上薄膜晶体管区以外的金属氧化物层。当然,此处可以采用光刻工艺刻蚀掉薄膜晶体管区以外的金属氧化物层。接着,在所述基板21和金属氧化物层22上依序沉积栅极绝缘层23、栅极金属层24和刻蚀阻挡层25,如图21所示。
在步骤S202中,经由同一掩膜版刻蚀所述基板上部分刻蚀阻挡层、栅极金属层和栅极绝缘层;保留位于栅极区的金属氧化物层、栅极绝缘层、栅极金属层和刻蚀阻挡层,位于源极区和漏极区用以形成接触过孔部分的金属氧化物层、栅极绝缘层和栅极金属层,位于栅极接口区的栅极绝缘层、栅极金属层和刻蚀阻挡层以及位于存储电容区的栅极绝缘层和栅极金属层;使位于所述源极区和漏极区其余部分的金属氧化物层暴露。
如图22所示,本发明实施例经由同一掩膜版26刻蚀所述基板21上部分刻蚀阻挡层、部分栅极金属层和部分栅极绝缘层,此处采用光刻工艺进行刻蚀。光刻掉部分刻蚀阻挡层、部分栅极金属层和部分栅极绝缘层后,保留位于栅极区的金属氧化物层、栅极绝缘层、栅极金属层和刻蚀阻挡层,位于源极区和漏极区用以形成接触过孔部分的金属氧化物层、栅极绝缘层和栅极金属层,位于栅极接口区的栅极绝缘层、栅极金属层和刻蚀阻挡层以及位于存储电容区的栅极绝缘层和栅极金属层。同时,使位于所述源极区和漏极区其余部分的金属氧化物层暴露,此处至少暴露所述源极区和漏极区用以形成接触过孔的部分与栅极区之间的金属氧化物层。
具体地,先于所述刻蚀阻挡层25之上均匀涂布光刻胶,并将掩膜版26置于所述光刻胶之上。接着由作用光投射于所述掩膜版26,对所述光刻胶进行曝光、显影处理,使位于栅极区和栅极接口区的光刻胶较位于源极区和漏极区用以形成接触过孔部分和存储电容区的光刻胶厚,并使位于栅极区的光刻胶与位于栅极接口区的光刻胶等厚,位于源极区和漏极区用以形成接触过孔部分的光刻胶与位于存储电容区的光刻胶等厚,位于源极区用以形成接触过孔部分的光刻胶与漏极区用以形成接触过孔部分的光刻胶等厚,并去除其它位置的光刻胶,此时所述光刻胶7处于各位置的厚度由灰阶掩膜版相应部分的透光率决定。然后刻蚀掉所述基板21上部分刻蚀阻挡层、部分栅极金属层和部分栅极绝缘层,刻蚀掉的薄膜层数由所述掩膜版6决定。具体刻蚀时先刻蚀所有暴露的刻蚀阻挡层(即未被光刻胶覆盖的刻蚀阻挡层)以及与该刻蚀阻挡层对位的栅极金属层和栅极绝缘层,如图23所示;接着将光刻胶处于各位置的厚度同时减薄,直至位于源极区和漏极区用以形成接触过孔部分的光刻胶以及位于存储电容区的光刻胶完全去除,如图24所示;然后刻蚀掉位于源极区和漏极区用以形成接触过孔部分以及位于存储电容区的刻蚀阻挡层,如图25所示;最后去除所有光刻胶,如图26所示。其中,所述作用光可为紫外光。
这样保留了位于栅极区的金属氧化物层、栅极绝缘层、栅极金属层和刻蚀阻挡层,位于源极区和漏极区用以形成接触过孔部分的金属氧化物层、栅极绝缘层和栅极金属层,位于栅极接口区的栅极绝缘层、栅极金属层和刻蚀阻挡层以及位于存储电容区的栅极绝缘层和栅极金属层。同时,使位于所述源极区和漏极区其余部分的金属氧化物层暴露,即暴露所述源极区和漏极区用以形成接触过孔的部分与栅极区之间的金属氧化物层。当然,还可以暴露所述源极区和漏极区用以形成接触过孔部分周围的金属氧化物层。如此一次确定栅极、源漏极和源漏极接触过孔的位置,并使后续通过材料替换形成的源极接触过孔和漏极接触过孔与栅极的间距相等,从而使源漏极与栅极自对准和源漏极接触过孔与栅极自对准且对称,由此制成的薄膜晶体管不易发生短路、断路,寄生电容小,所制电路运行速度快。同时,确定了存储电容和栅极接口区的位置,且去除位于所述存储电容区的刻蚀阻挡层,以便后道工序将位于所述存储电容区的栅极金属层作为存储电容其中一个电极36。
换言之,因本发明实施例无需多个掩膜版之间进行对准,且由同一掩膜版26确定栅极、源漏极和源漏极接触过孔的位置,使源漏极与栅极完全自对准,源漏极接触过孔与栅极亦完全自对准且对称,极大地提升所制薄膜晶体管的性能。
在步骤S203中,金属化位于所述源极区和漏极区且暴露的金属氧化物层,使之成为部分源极和漏极,而后沉积钝化层。
如图27所示,本发明实施例先通过等离子处理,使位于所述源极区和漏极区且暴露的金属氧化物层金属化。例如,于所述栅极区、源极区和漏极区氢化氮化硅SiNx:H绝缘保护层,该氢化过程直接将位于所述源极区和漏极区且暴露的金属氧化物层金属化,成为部分源极和漏极。金属化后,该部分源极和漏极为导电的源极和漏极。
接着,沉积覆盖所述栅极区、源极区、漏极区、栅极接口区以及存储电容区的钝化层28,即在所述基板21一侧沉积钝化层28,该钝化层同时覆盖所述栅极区、源极区、漏极区、栅极接口区以及存储电容区,如图28所示。其中,所述钝化层28可以为SiNx薄膜或SiO2/SiNx的多层薄膜。
在步骤S204中,刻蚀位于所述源极区和漏极区用以形成接触过孔部分以及栅极接口区的钝化层,由此形成源极接触过孔、漏极接触过孔和栅极接口区连线接触过孔的上半部分。
如图29所示,本发明实施例通过光刻工艺刻蚀位于所述源极区和漏极区用以形成接触过孔部分以及栅极接口区的钝化层,由此形成源极接触过孔29、漏极接触过孔30和栅极接口区连线接触过孔31的上半部分。该上半部分的侧面可倾斜于金属氧化物层,工艺要求低,易于光刻。
在步骤S205中,进一步刻蚀位于所述源极区和漏极区用以形成接触过孔部分的栅极金属层和栅极绝缘层以及位于所述栅极接口区的刻蚀阻挡层,暴露位于所述源极区和漏极区用以形成接触过孔部分的金属氧化物层以及位于所述栅极接口区的栅极金属层,由此形成所述源极接触过孔、漏极接触过孔和栅极接口区连线接触过孔的下半部分,并与其上半部分构成完整的源极接触过孔、漏极接触过孔和栅极接口区连线接触过孔。
如图30所示,本发明实施例进一步刻蚀位于所述源极区和漏极区用以形成接触过孔部分的栅极金属层和栅极绝缘层以及位于所述栅极接口区的刻蚀阻挡层,直至暴露位于所述源极区和漏极区用以形成接触过孔部分的金属氧化物层以及位于所述栅极接口区的栅极金属层,由此形成所述源极接触过孔29、漏极接触过孔30和栅极接口区连线接触过孔31的下半部分,并与其上半部分构成完整的源极接触过孔、漏极接触过孔和栅极接口区连线接触过孔。其中,所述源极接触过孔29和漏极接触过孔30的下半部分的侧面垂直于金属氧化物层,这样使得所述源极接触过孔29和漏极接触过孔30的下半部分与栅极32的间距相等且对称,即所制薄膜晶体管不会发生断路、短路等现象。
在步骤S206中,金属化位于所述源极区和漏极区且暴露的金属氧化物层,使之分别与已形成的部分源极和漏极电连接,形成完整的源极和漏极。
如图31所示,本发明实施例先通过等离子处理,使位于所述源极区和漏极区且暴露的金属氧化物层金属化。例如,于所述栅极区、源极区和漏极区氢化氮化硅SiNx:H绝缘保护层,该氢化过程直接将位于所述源极区和漏极区且暴露的金属氧化物层金属化,并分别与已形成的部分源极和漏极电连接,形成完整的源极33和漏极34。金属化后,该完整的源极33和漏极34为导电的源极和漏极,而位于该源极33与漏极34间的金属氧化物层形成薄膜晶体管的沟道38。
在步骤S207中,于所述源极接触过孔、漏极接触过孔和栅极接口区连线接触过孔内填充导电材料。
如图32~34所示,本发明实施例于所述源极接触过孔29、漏极接触过孔30和栅极接口区连线接触过孔31内填充导电材料35(如金属),并使该导电材料35凸设于钝化层28,利于制作后续电极。另外,于所述源极区和漏极区钝化层之上分别沉积与各自导电材料电连接的透明金属电极39。在所述源极接触过孔29、漏极接触过孔30和栅极接口区连线接触过孔31内填充导电材料35时,位于所述存储电容区钝化层之上沉积用作存储电容另一电极37的导电材料(如金属层),制作工艺简单。此处将位于所述存储电容区的钝化层作为存储电容的介电层,较底栅结构的存储电容介电层薄,从而提供单位面积电容,减小电容尺寸,提高开口率。当然,还可于所述栅极区制作穿过钝化层和刻蚀阻挡层的电极。应当说明的是,本顶栅结构薄膜晶体管比底栅结构薄膜晶体管制造工艺简单,工艺成本降低。
以上所述仅为本发明的较佳实施例而已,并不用以限制本发明,凡在本发明的精神和原则之内所作的任何修改、等同替换和改进等,均应包含在本发明的保护范围之内。
