技术领域 technical field
本发明涉及一种电激发光元件的制造方法和采用该电激发光元件的影像显示系统,且特别是涉及一种薄膜晶体管的制造方法和采用该薄膜晶体管的影像显示系统。The invention relates to a manufacturing method of an electroluminescent element and an image display system using the electroluminescent element, and in particular to a manufacturing method of a thin film transistor and an image display system using the thin film transistor.
背景技术 Background technique
一般而言,薄膜晶体管主要包括非晶硅薄膜晶体管与多晶硅薄膜晶体管。现有电激发光元件显示器(electroluminescent device display)的阵列基板可以区分为发光区与电路区,而阵列基板的制造方法主要包括:形成薄膜晶体管(thin film transistor;TFT)、形成像素电极、以及形成有机发光二极管。其中,薄膜晶体管的制造工艺通常包括下列步骤:在基板的整个表面上形成缓冲层、多晶硅层、栅极绝缘层、栅极、层间介电层。在薄膜晶体管完成之后,接着形成像素电极,且此像素电极与薄膜晶体管呈电连接。之后,再于发光区上形成透明阳极、有机发光层、以及反射式阴极,而完成电激发光元件的制作。通常,多晶硅薄膜晶体管制造工艺中包含准分子激光退火(excimerlaser anneal;ELA)步骤,以将缓冲层上的非晶硅层转化为多晶硅层,而形成多晶硅薄膜晶体管。Generally speaking, thin film transistors mainly include amorphous silicon thin film transistors and polysilicon thin film transistors. The array substrate of an existing electroluminescent device display (electroluminescent device display) can be divided into a light-emitting area and a circuit area, and the manufacturing method of the array substrate mainly includes: forming a thin film transistor (thin film transistor; TFT), forming a pixel electrode, and forming Organic Light Emitting Diodes. Wherein, the manufacturing process of the thin film transistor generally includes the following steps: forming a buffer layer, a polysilicon layer, a gate insulating layer, a gate, and an interlayer dielectric layer on the entire surface of the substrate. After the thin film transistor is completed, the pixel electrode is then formed, and the pixel electrode is electrically connected to the thin film transistor. Afterwards, a transparent anode, an organic light-emitting layer, and a reflective cathode are formed on the light-emitting area to complete the fabrication of the electroluminescent element. Usually, the polysilicon thin film transistor manufacturing process includes an excimer laser anneal (excimerlaser anneal; ELA) step to convert the amorphous silicon layer on the buffer layer into a polysilicon layer to form a polysilicon thin film transistor.
然而,由于准分子激光退火(excimer laser anneal;ELA)步骤所制作出的薄膜晶体管(例如,用于驱动的薄膜晶体管(driving TFT))具有很大的电子移动率(mobility)变异性,因此会导致每一个子像素的发光亮度皆不一致,而产生颜色不均(Mura)的缺陷。However, since thin film transistors (for example, driving TFTs) produced by the excimer laser annealing (excimer laser anneal; ELA) step have large electron mobility (mobility) variability, there will be As a result, the luminance of each sub-pixel is inconsistent, resulting in the defect of uneven color (Mura).

第1实施例first embodiment
图2a~2f为绘示本发明优选实施例中有机电激发光元件的制造方法的剖面图。2a-2f are cross-sectional views illustrating a method for manufacturing an organic electroluminescence device in a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
如图2a所示,在包括第一元件区域(例如,开关薄膜晶体管(switchingthin film transistor)区域I)与第二元件区域(例如,驱动薄膜晶体管(drivingthin film transistor)区域II)的基板200上依次形成缓冲层202、非晶硅层204与保护膜206。其中,保护膜206形成于第二元件区域II内的部分非晶硅层204上方;且保护膜206包括以硅为基材的材料,例如是氧化硅(SiOx)、氮化硅(SiNx)、氮氧化硅(SiOxNy)、或氧化硅与氮化硅的叠层结构。As shown in FIG. 2a, on a
如图2b所示,对非晶硅层204进行准分子激光退火工艺208,以将该非晶硅层转化为多晶硅层(204a,204b);但是,在准分子激光退火工艺208中,因为保护膜206可以反射部分激光能量的缘故,所以导致部分多晶硅层204a与部分多晶硅层204b具有不同结晶效果。也就是说,由于未被保护膜206覆盖的部分多晶硅层204b直接受到完整的准分子激光能量照射的缘故,所以具有较大尺寸的晶粒(grain),而其电子迁移率大约为100cm2/V-s。另一方面,由于保护膜206反射部分激光能量的缘故,因而下方的多晶硅层204a的晶粒尺寸较小,但是晶粒均一性(uniformity)却增加,而其电子迁移率大约小于100cm2/V-s。As shown in Figure 2b, an excimer
如图2c所示,移除保护膜206。接着,如图2d所示,图案多晶硅层(204a,204b),而形成位于开关薄膜晶体管区域I内的第一有源层204’b与位于驱动薄膜晶体管区域II内的第二有源层204a。As shown in FIG. 2c, the
如图2e所示,形成栅极介电层210,以覆盖第一有源层204’b与第二有源层204a等图案化多晶硅层以及缓冲层202。As shown in FIG. 2e , a gate
接着,如图2f所示,依次进行后续工艺,以形成栅极(212,214)、层间介电层216、导线218、覆盖层220、及透明电极(像素电极)224,由于此部分并非本发明重点,在此省略说明。最后,完成有机电激发光元件2000,包括开关薄膜晶体管与驱动薄膜晶体管。上述开关薄膜晶体管包括栅极212、栅极介电层210与第一有源层204’b;另外,上述驱动薄膜晶体管包括栅极214、栅极介电层210与第二有源层204a。其中,第一有源层204’b包括通道区204’c、轻掺杂漏极(lightly doped drain)204’d、源/漏极204’e;第二有源层204a包括通道区204c与源/漏极204d。Then, as shown in FIG. 2f, follow-up processes are performed sequentially to form gates (212, 214), interlayer

如图3a所示,在包括开关薄膜晶体管(switching thin film transistor)区域I与驱动薄膜晶体管(driving thin film transistor)区域II的基板300上依次形成缓冲层302与非晶硅层304。As shown in FIG. 3a, a
如图3b所示,将非晶硅层304图案化,以形成位于开关薄膜晶体管区域I的图案化非晶硅层304b以及位于驱动薄膜晶体管区域II的图案化非晶硅层304a。As shown in FIG. 3 b , the
如图3c所示,形成覆盖图案化非晶硅层304a以及部分缓冲层302表面的保护膜306。上述保护膜306包括以硅为基材的材料,例如是氧化硅(SiOx)、氮化硅(SiNx)、氮氧化硅(SiOxNy)、或氧化硅与氮化硅的叠层结构。As shown in FIG. 3 c , a
如图3d所示,进行准分子激光退火工艺308,以将图案化非晶硅层304a与304b转化为多晶硅层304c与304d。其中,位于开关薄膜晶体管区域I内的多晶硅层304d作为后续形成的开关薄膜晶体管的第一有源层,而位于驱动薄膜晶体管区域II内的多晶硅层304c则作为后续形成的驱动薄膜晶体管的第二有源层。但是,在准分子激光退火工艺308中,因为保护膜306可以反射部分激光能量的缘故,所以导致多晶硅层304c与多晶硅层304d具有不同结晶效果。换句话说,由于未被保护膜306覆盖的多晶硅层304b直接受到完整的准分子激光能量照射的缘故,所以具有较大尺寸的晶粒(grain),而其电子迁移率大约为100cm2/V-s。另一方面,由于保护膜306反射部分激光能量的缘故,因而下方的多晶硅层304c的晶粒尺寸较小,但是晶粒均一性(uniformity)却增加,而其电子迁移率大约小于100cm2/V-s。As shown in FIG. 3d, an excimer
如图3e所示,形成栅极介电层309,以覆盖第一有源层与第二有源层等图案化多晶硅层以及缓冲层302。As shown in FIG. 3 e , a
接着,如图3f所示,依次进行后续工艺,以形成栅极(310,312)、层间介电层314、导线316、覆盖层318、及透明电极(像素电极)322,由于此部分并非本发明重点,在此省略说明。最后,完成有机电激发光元件3000,包括开关薄膜晶体管与驱动薄膜晶体管。上述开关薄膜晶体管包括栅极310、栅极介电层309与第一有源层;另外,上述驱动薄膜晶体管包括栅极312、栅极介电层309与第二有源层。其中,第一有源层包括通道区304’a、轻掺杂漏极(lightly doped drain)304’b、源/漏极304’c;第二有源层包括通道区304’d与源/漏极304’e。Next, as shown in FIG. 3f, subsequent processes are performed sequentially to form gates (310, 312), interlayer

第4实施例4th embodiment
图5a~5g为绘示本发明又一优选实施例中有机电激发光元件的制造方法的剖面图。5a-5g are cross-sectional views illustrating a method for manufacturing an organic electroluminescence device in another preferred embodiment of the present invention.
如图5a所示,在包括开关薄膜晶体管(switching thin film transistor)区域I与驱动薄膜晶体管(driving thin film transistor)区域II的基板500上形成图案化保护膜502。上述图案化保护膜位于驱动薄膜晶体管区域II内。上述图案化保护膜502包括任何金属材料。As shown in FIG. 5a, a patterned
如图5b所示,形成缓冲层504于图案化保护膜502与基板500上方。接着,形成非晶硅层506于缓冲层504上方,如图5c所示。As shown in FIG. 5 b , a
如图5d所示,对非晶硅层506进行准分子激光退火工艺508,以将非晶硅层506转化为多晶硅层(506a,506b)。As shown in FIG. 5d, an excimer
如图5e所示,将多晶硅层(506a,506b)图案化,而形成图案化多晶硅层506’a与506b。其中,位于开关薄膜晶体管区域I内的多晶硅层506’a作为后续形成的开关薄膜晶体管的第一有源层,而位于驱动薄膜晶体管区域II内的多晶硅层506b则作为后续形成的驱动薄膜晶体管的第二有源层。但是,在准分子激光退火工艺508中,因为图案化保护膜502散热较其它部分快的缘故,所以导致图案化多晶硅层506’a与506b具有不同结晶效果。换句话说,由于图案化多晶硅层506’a直接受到完整的准分子激光能量照射的缘故,所以具有较大尺寸的晶粒(grain),而其电子迁移率大约为100cm2/V-s。另一方面,图案化保护膜502上方的图案化多晶硅层506’a的晶粒尺寸较小,但是晶粒均一性(uniformity)却增加,而其电子迁移率大约小于100cm2/V-s。As shown in FIG. 5e, the polysilicon layers (506a, 506b) are patterned to form patterned polysilicon layers 506'a and 506b. Among them, the polysilicon layer 506'a located in the switching thin film transistor region I is used as the first active layer of the subsequently formed switching thin film transistor, and the
如图5f所示,形成栅极介电层510,以覆盖第一有源层与第二有源层等图案化多晶硅层以及缓冲层502。As shown in FIG. 5 f , a
接着,如图5g所示,依次进行后续工艺,以形成栅极(512,514)、层间介电层516、导线518、覆盖层520、及透明电极(像素电极)524,由于此部分并非本发明重点,在此省略说明。最后,完成有机电激发光元件5000,包括开关薄膜晶体管与驱动薄膜晶体管。上述开关薄膜晶体管包括栅极512、栅极介电层510与第一有源层;另外,上述驱动薄膜晶体管包括栅极514、栅极介电层510与第二有源层。其中,第一有源层包括通道区506’d、轻掺杂漏极(lightly doped drain)506’b、源/漏极506’c;第二有源层包括通道区506c与源/漏极506d。Next, as shown in FIG. 5g, subsequent processes are performed sequentially to form gates (512, 514), interlayer

Here, the system can be the
综上所述,本发明几个优选实施例通过准分子激光退火(excimer laseranneal;ELA)步骤,在缓冲层上或下、或在栅极绝缘层上增加额外的保护膜或金属膜,造成用于开关的薄膜晶体管(switching TFT)与用于驱动的薄膜晶体管(driving TFT)具有不同的结晶效果。结果,具有上述不同的结晶效果的薄膜晶体管的有源矩阵型有机电激发光元件则会有较均匀的驱动电流,而避免产生颜色不均(Mura)的缺陷。In summary, several preferred embodiments of the present invention use an excimer laser anneal (excimer laser anneal; ELA) step to add an additional protective film or metal film on or below the buffer layer, or on the gate insulating layer, resulting in The switching TFT and the driving TFT have different crystallization effects. As a result, the active-matrix organic electroluminescent element of the thin film transistor having the above-mentioned different crystallization effects will have a more uniform driving current, and avoid the defect of uneven color (Mura).
