- film and “layer” can be interchanged depending on the case or circumstances.
- conductive layer can be changed to the term “conductive film.”
- insulating film can be changed to the term “insulating layer”.
- a conductive film is formed and a first layer (an EL layer or part of an EL layer) including a light-emitting layer that emits light of a first color can be formed. ) is formed over the first layer, a first sacrificial layer is formed on the first layer. Then, a first resist mask is formed over the first sacrificial layer, and the first layer and the first sacrificial layer are processed using the first resist mask, thereby forming an island-shaped first layer.
- a second layer (which can be called an EL layer or part of an EL layer) including a light-emitting layer that emits light of a second color is formed as a second sacrificial layer. and an island shape using a second resist mask.
- the island-shaped EL layer is not formed using a metal mask having a fine pattern, but after the EL layer is formed over the entire surface. Formed by processing. Therefore, it is possible to realize a high-definition display device or a display device with a high aperture ratio, which has hitherto been difficult to achieve. Furthermore, since the EL layer can be separately formed for each color, a display device with extremely vivid, high-contrast, and high-quality display can be realized.
- a sacrificial layer (which may also be referred to as a mask layer) over the EL layer, damage to the EL layer during the manufacturing process of the display device can be reduced, and the reliability of the light-emitting device can be improved.
- the gap can be narrowed to 500 nm or less, 200 nm or less, 100 nm or less, or even 50 nm or less.
- the aperture ratio can be brought close to 100%.
- the aperture ratio can be 50% or more, 60% or more, 70% or more, 80% or more, or even 90% or more, and less than 100%.
- the pattern of the EL layer itself (which can also be called a processing size) can be made much smaller than when a metal mask is used.
- the thickness of the EL layer varies between the center and the edge, so the effective area that can be used as the light emitting region is smaller than the area of the EL layer. Become.
- the manufacturing method described above since a film having a uniform thickness is processed, an island-shaped EL layer can be formed with a uniform thickness. Therefore, almost the entire area of even a fine pattern can be used as a light emitting region. Therefore, a display device having both high definition and high aperture ratio can be manufactured.
- the sacrificial layer remaining on each EL layer is used as a hard mask to process the conductive film, whereby pixel electrodes can be formed. Since there is no need to separately provide a mask for forming island-shaped pixel electrodes, the manufacturing cost of the display device can be reduced. In addition, since it is not necessary to provide an insulating layer covering the edge of the pixel electrode between the pixel electrode and the EL layer, the distance between adjacent light emitting devices can be made very narrow. Therefore, it is possible to achieve high definition or high resolution of the display device. Moreover, a mask for forming the insulating layer is not required, and the manufacturing cost of the display device can be reduced.
- the first layer and the second layer each include at least a light-emitting layer, and preferably consist of a plurality of layers. Specifically, it is preferable to have one or more layers on the light-emitting layer. By providing another layer between the light-emitting layer and the sacrificial layer, the light-emitting layer can be prevented from being exposed to the outermost surface during the manufacturing process of the display device, and damage to the light-emitting layer can be reduced. This can improve the reliability of the light emitting device. Therefore, each of the first layer and the second layer preferably has a light-emitting layer and a carrier-transporting layer (electron-transporting layer or hole-transporting layer) on the light-emitting layer.
- a carrier-transporting layer electron-transporting layer or hole-transporting layer

Note that even in the case where the carrier injection layer is provided in an island shape and the common electrode is formed in common for the light emitting devices of each color, the common electrode is in contact with the side surface of the EL layer or the side surface of the pixel electrode, so that light emission is prevented. The device may short out.

- the peak shape of the XRD spectrum is almost symmetrical.
- the peak shape of the XRD spectrum is left-right asymmetric.
- the asymmetric shape of the peaks in the XRD spectra demonstrates the presence of crystals in the film or substrate. In other words, the film or substrate cannot be said to be in an amorphous state unless the shape of the peaks in the XRD spectrum is symmetrical.
- the crystal structure of the film or substrate can be evaluated by a diffraction pattern (also referred to as a nanobeam electron diffraction pattern) observed by nano beam electron diffraction (NBED).
- a diffraction pattern also referred to as a nanobeam electron diffraction pattern
- NBED nano beam electron diffraction

- oxide semiconductors may be classified differently from the above when their structures are focused. For example, oxide semiconductors are classified into single-crystal oxide semiconductors and non-single-crystal oxide semiconductors. Examples of non-single-crystal oxide semiconductors include the above CAAC-OS and nc-OS. Non-single-crystal oxide semiconductors include polycrystalline oxide semiconductors, amorphous-like oxide semiconductors (a-like OS), amorphous oxide semiconductors, and the like.
- CAAC-OS is an oxide semiconductor that includes a plurality of crystal regions, and the c-axes of the plurality of crystal regions are oriented in a specific direction. Note that the specific direction is the thickness direction of the CAAC-OS film, the normal direction to the formation surface of the CAAC-OS film, or the normal direction to the surface of the CAAC-OS film.
- a crystalline region is a region having periodicity in atomic arrangement. If the atomic arrangement is regarded as a lattice arrangement, the crystalline region is also a region with a uniform lattice arrangement.
- CAAC-OS has a region where a plurality of crystal regions are connected in the a-b plane direction, and the region may have strain.
- the strain refers to a portion where the orientation of the lattice arrangement changes between a region with a uniform lattice arrangement and another region with a uniform lattice arrangement in a region where a plurality of crystal regions are connected. That is, CAAC-OS is an oxide semiconductor that is c-axis oriented and has no obvious orientation in the ab plane direction.
- each of the plurality of crystal regions is composed of one or a plurality of minute crystals (crystals having a maximum diameter of less than 10 nm).

- the lattice arrangement in the crystal region is basically a hexagonal lattice, but the unit lattice is not always regular hexagon and may be non-regular hexagon. Moreover, the distortion may have a lattice arrangement such as a pentagon or a heptagon. Note that in CAAC-OS, no clear crystal grain boundary can be observed even near the strain. That is, it can be seen that the distortion of the lattice arrangement suppresses the formation of grain boundaries. This is because the CAAC-OS can tolerate strain due to the fact that the arrangement of oxygen atoms is not dense in the ab plane direction and the bond distance between atoms changes due to the substitution of metal atoms. it is conceivable that.

- An a-like OS is an oxide semiconductor having a structure between an nc-OS and an amorphous oxide semiconductor.
- An a-like OS has void or low density regions. That is, the a-like OS has lower crystallinity than the nc-OS and CAAC-OS. In addition, the a-like OS has a higher hydrogen concentration in the film than the nc-OS and the CAAC-OS.

Each region is a mosaic, and refers to a configuration in which these regions exist randomly. Therefore, CAC-OS is presumed to have a structure in which metal elements are unevenly distributed.

以下では、半導体層にシリコンが適用されたトランジスタと、半導体層に金属酸化物が適用されたトランジスタの両方を有する構成の例について説明する。
本実施の形態では、上記の実施の形態で説明したOSトランジスタに用いることができる金属酸化物(酸化物半導体ともいう)について説明する。
酸化物半導体の結晶構造としては、アモルファス(completely amorphousを含む)、CAAC(c−axis−aligned crystalline)、nc(nanocrystalline)、CAC(cloud−aligned composite)、単結晶(single crystal)、及び多結晶(polycrystal)等が挙げられる。
なお、酸化物半導体は、構造に着目した場合、上記とは異なる分類となる場合がある。例えば、酸化物半導体は、単結晶酸化物半導体と、それ以外の非単結晶酸化物半導体と、に分けられる。非単結晶酸化物半導体としては、例えば、上述のCAAC−OS、及びnc−OSがある。また、非単結晶酸化物半導体には、多結晶酸化物半導体、擬似非晶質酸化物半導体(a−like OS:amorphous−like oxide semiconductor)、非晶質酸化物半導体、などが含まれる。
CAAC−OSは、複数の結晶領域を有し、当該複数の結晶領域はc軸が特定の方向に配向している酸化物半導体である。なお、特定の方向とは、CAAC−OS膜の厚さ方向、CAAC−OS膜の被形成面の法線方向、またはCAAC−OS膜の表面の法線方向である。また、結晶領域とは、原子配列に周期性を有する領域である。なお、原子配列を格子配列とみなすと、結晶領域とは、格子配列の揃った領域でもある。さらに、CAAC−OSは、a−b面方向において複数の結晶領域が連結する領域を有し、当該領域は歪みを有する場合がある。なお、歪みとは、複数の結晶領域が連結する領域において、格子配列の揃った領域と、別の格子配列の揃った領域と、の間で格子配列の向きが変化している箇所を指す。つまり、CAAC−OSは、c軸配向し、a−b面方向には明らかな配向をしていない酸化物半導体である。
nc−OSは、微小な領域(例えば、1nm以上10nm以下の領域、特に1nm以上3nm以下の領域)において原子配列に周期性を有する。別言すると、nc−OSは、微小な結晶を有する。なお、当該微小な結晶の大きさは、例えば、1nm以上10nm以下、特に1nm以上3nm以下であることから、当該微小な結晶をナノ結晶ともいう。また、nc−OSは、異なるナノ結晶間で結晶方位に規則性が見られない。そのため、膜全体で配向性が見られない。従って、nc−OSは、分析方法によっては、a−like OSまたは非晶質酸化物半導体と区別が付かない場合がある。例えば、nc−OS膜に対し、XRD装置を用いて構造解析を行うと、θ/2θスキャンを用いたOut−of−plane XRD測定では、結晶性を示すピークが検出されない。また、nc−OS膜に対し、ナノ結晶よりも大きいプローブ径(例えば50nm以上)の電子線を用いる電子線回折(制限視野電子線回折ともいう。)を行うと、ハローパターンのような回折パターンが観測される。一方、nc−OS膜に対し、ナノ結晶の大きさと近いかナノ結晶より小さいプローブ径(例えば1nm以上30nm以下)の電子線を用いる電子線回折(ナノビーム電子線回折ともいう。)を行うと、ダイレクトスポットを中心とするリング状の領域内に複数のスポットが観測される電子線回折パターンが取得される場合がある。
a−like OSは、nc−OSと非晶質酸化物半導体との間の構造を有する酸化物半導体である。a−like OSは、鬆または低密度領域を有する。即ち、a−like OSは、nc−OS及びCAAC−OSと比べて、結晶性が低い。また、a−like OSは、nc−OS及びCAAC−OSと比べて、膜中の水素濃度が高い。
次に、上述のCAC−OSの詳細について、説明を行う。なお、CAC−OSは材料構成に関する。
CAC−OSとは、例えば、金属酸化物を構成する元素が、0.5nm以上10nm以下、好ましくは、1nm以上3nm以下、またはその近傍のサイズで偏在した材料の一構成である。なお、以下では、金属酸化物において、一つまたは複数の金属元素が偏在し、該金属元素を有する領域が、0.5nm以上10nm以下、好ましくは、1nm以上3nm以下、またはその近傍のサイズで混合した状態をモザイク状、またはパッチ状ともいう。
続いて、上記酸化物半導体をトランジスタに用いる場合について説明する。
ここで、酸化物半導体中における各不純物の影響について説明する。
本実施の形態では、本発明の一態様の電子機器について、図28乃至図32を用いて説明する。
