BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a light emitting device having an element in which a luminescent material is sandwiched between electrodes and an electric appliance using the light emitting device for a display unit (display display or display monitor). In particular, the present invention relates to a light-emitting device using a light-emitting material (hereinafter referred to as EL material) from which EL (Electro Luminescence) can be obtained. An organic EL display and an organic light emitting diode (OLED) are included in the light emitting device of the present invention.
[0002]
The luminescent material that can be used in the present invention includes all luminescent materials that emit light (phosphorescence and / or fluorescence) via singlet excitation, triplet excitation, or both excitation.
[0003]
[Prior art]
In recent years, development of a light-emitting device (hereinafter referred to as an EL light-emitting device) using a light-emitting element (hereinafter referred to as an EL element) using the EL phenomenon of a light-emitting material has been advanced. Since EL light-emitting devices are display devices that use self-luminous elements, they do not require a backlight like a liquid crystal display and have a wide viewing angle, so they are attracting attention as display units for portable devices used outdoors. .
[0004]
There is a method of using a color filter as a method of displaying a color image in an EL light emitting device. For example, it is possible to obtain light of each color by forming an EL element that emits white light and passing white light emitted therefrom through a colored layer corresponding to R (red), G (green), or B (blue). it can.
[0005]
In the case of adopting such a method, conventionally, a colored layer is provided in accordance with the position of each pixel on a substrate on which an EL element is formed. Therefore, at least three photolithography processes are required.
[0006]
However, if the photolithography process is performed three times, not only the manufacturing process of the EL light emitting device becomes complicated, but also the yield of individual photolithography processes can be multiplied, which may cause a significant decrease in yield. There was a problem. As a result, there has been a problem of an increase in manufacturing cost due to a decrease in yield and a prolonged manufacturing period.
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a structure and a manufacturing method of a light-emitting device that is not affected by the yield of a photolithography process for forming a colored layer. Then, it is an object to provide an inexpensive light-emitting device by improving yield and shortening a manufacturing period and reducing manufacturing cost. Another object is to provide an inexpensive electric appliance using an inexpensive light-emitting device as a display portion.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention aims to improve the yield of the light emitting device and shorten the manufacturing period by reducing the photolithography process for forming the colored layer. Specifically, a color filter is manufactured by a manufacturing process different from that for a substrate over which a light-emitting element is formed, and the light-emitting device is completed by bonding the color filters.
[0009]
The color filter refers to an optical filter having individual wavelength sensitivity characteristics. That is, the optical filter including the transparent substrate, the colored layer, and the resin layer (overcoat layer) used in the present invention can be called a color filter.
[0010]
According to the present invention, since the manufacturing process for forming the light emitting element and the manufacturing process for forming the colored layer are performed separately, the yield of the photolithography process for forming the colored layer does not affect the manufacturing process for forming the light emitting element. The advantage is obtained.
[0011]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 1A, reference numeral 11 denotes a substrate on which an element is formed, and any material may be used as long as it is a substrate that transmits visible light. In this specification, in the substrate on which the element is formed, the substrate surface on the side where the TFT or EL element is formed is referred to as a front surface (or front surface side), and the substrate surface on the back side is referred to as a back surface (or back surface side). .
[0012]
Here, a thin film transistor (hereinafter referred to as TFT) 12 is provided as a semiconductor element on the surface side of the substrate 11. The structure of the TFT 12 is not limited, and a top gate TFT (typically a planar TFT) or a bottom gate TFT (typically an inverted staggered TFT) may be used.
[0013]
An anode 13 made of an oxide conductive film is connected to the TFT 12 as a pixel electrode. The oxide conductive film used here is transparent to visible light, and light generated in the light emitting layer passes through the anode 13 and is extracted outside. The TFT 12 and the anode 13 are provided in each of the plurality of pixels.
[0014]
An EL layer 14 is provided in contact with the anode 13, and a cathode 15 is provided thereon. The EL layer 14 is a layer corresponding to the light emitting portion of the EL element, and is formed of a single layer or a laminated structure. Basically, a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an electron injection layer, or an electron transport layer are used in combination with the light emitting layer, but any known structure may be used. Further, an organic material or an inorganic material may be used as the material of the EL layer, and in the case of an organic material, a high molecular material or a low molecular material may be used.
[0015]
In addition, a material having a low work function is preferably used for the cathode, and a metal film containing an element belonging to Group 1 or 2 of the periodic table may be used. Of course, any known cathode material may be used.
[0016]
Note that in this specification, an EL element refers to a light-emitting element including an anode, an EL layer, and a cathode. Therefore, the anode 13, the EL layer 14, and the cathode 15 form an EL element 16.
[0017]
The EL element 16 is covered with a sealing material 17, and a cover material 18 is bonded by the sealing material 17. The sealing material 17 is a resin, and typically an ultraviolet curable resin or an epoxy resin is used. The sealing material 17 functions as a protective layer for protecting the EL element 16 from water and oxygen.
[0018]
Further, the cover material 18 functions as a protective layer for protecting the EL element 16 from water and oxygen and at the same time protecting the EL element 16 from mechanical shock. Any material may be used as the cover material 18, but it is preferable to use a plastic substrate because the entire light emitting device can be reduced in weight.
[0019]
All the structures so far are formed on the substrate 11. The substrate 11 provided with the cover material 18 is referred to as an active matrix substrate in this specification.
[0020]
Next, a color filter substrate 19 is prepared separately from the active matrix substrate. As the substrate 19, any material may be used as long as it is a substrate that transmits visible light like the substrate 11. In the present specification, for convenience of explanation, the substrate 19 is referred to as a color filter substrate.
[0021]
The color filter substrate 19 is provided with a colored layer (R) 20a, a colored layer (G) 20b, and a colored layer (B) 20c having a thickness of 0.2 to 1.5 μm. The colored layer is a layer that transmits light of a specific wavelength, and a resin film in which a pigment is dispersed is used. Note that in this specification, the colored layer (R) is a colored layer that transmits red light (light having a peak wavelength near 650 nm), and the colored layer (G) has a peak wavelength near 550 nm. The colored layer (B) refers to a colored layer that transmits blue light (light having a peak wavelength near 450 nm).
[0022]
Further, as the colored layer (R) 20a, the colored layer (G) 20b, and the colored layer (B) 20c, materials used in known color filters may be used. Here, a colored layer (R) 20a that transmits red light, a colored layer (G) 20b that transmits green light, and a colored layer (B) 20c that transmits blue light are provided.
[0023]
Note that the colored layer used in the EL light-emitting device is preferably a low pigment content so that a large amount of light can be secured. It is also possible to increase the amount of light by reducing the thickness of the colored layer. Further, it is not necessary to have a sharp peak wavelength unlike the colored layer used in the liquid crystal display device, but a colored layer having a broad peak wavelength is preferable. In addition, by including a black pigment in the colored layer, it is possible to suppress the inconvenience that external light entering from the outside of the EL light emitting device is absorbed and the observer is reflected on the cathode.
[0024]
The colored layer (R) 20a, the colored layer (G) 20b, and the colored layer (B) 20c thus provided on the color filter substrate 19 are made of the substrate 11 by the resin layer 21 provided as an overcoat layer (or planarization layer). It is glued to the back side. The resin layer 21 is preferably formed with a film thickness of 1 to 3 μm (a film thickness that can flatten a step due to the colored layer). Thus, the state shown in FIG.
[0025]
In FIG. 1A, the color filter substrate 19, the colored layer (R) 20a, the colored layer (G) 20b, the colored layer (B) 20c, and the resin layer 21 are collectively referred to as a color filter.
[0026]
FIG. 1B is an example in which an antireflection film 22 is provided in the color filter in addition to the state of FIG. The antireflection film 22 is a single-layer film or a laminated film that is made to be a condition in which reflected light is hardly generated by adjusting the refractive index and the film thickness, and a known antireflection film may be used. Further, instead of the antireflection film, a circularly polarizing plate (including a circularly polarizing film) may be provided.
[0027]
The light-emitting device described in this embodiment is characterized in that an active matrix substrate and a color filter are formed by separate processes, and both are bonded together after completion. With such a configuration, the yield of the active matrix substrate and the yield of the color filter can be individually managed, and a decrease in the yield of the entire light emitting device can be suppressed.
[0028]
In addition, since the manufacturing process for manufacturing the active matrix substrate and the manufacturing process for manufacturing the color filter can be performed simultaneously, the manufacturing period of the light-emitting device can be shortened.
[0029]
【Example】
[Example 1]
In this embodiment, the case where the present invention is applied to a passive matrix (simple matrix) EL light emitting device will be described. Note that the description of the embodiment may be referred to for the same reference numerals used in FIG.
[0030]
In FIG. 2A, 25 is a glass substrate, and 26 is an anode made of an oxide conductive film. In this embodiment, a compound film of indium oxide and tin oxide is used as the oxide conductive film. The anode 26 is provided with a plurality of rectangular electrodes having a longitudinal direction from the left hand to the right hand on the paper surface in the back direction on the paper surface.
[0031]
A first bank material 27 and a second bank material 28 made of an insulating film are provided on the anode 26. In this embodiment, a silicon oxide film is used as the first bank material 27 and a resin film is used as the second bank material 28. The second bank material 28 can realize the structure shown in FIG. 2A by using a laminated structure of two layers of resin films whose lower layers have a higher etching rate.
[0032]
The first bank material 27 and the second bank material 28 are used as separation walls for insulatingly separating the EL layer 29 and the cathode 30 into a rectangular shape. Therefore, the EL layer 29 and the cathode 30 are rectangular electrodes provided in plural so as to be orthogonal to the anode 26. In this embodiment, as the EL layer 29, a hole injection layer is provided on the anode 26, and a light emitting layer from which white light is obtained is provided thereon. Furthermore, as the cathode 30, an alloy film in which lithium is added to aluminum is used.
[0033]
As described above, the EL element 31 including the anode 26, the EL layer 29, and the cathode 30 is provided on the surface side of the substrate 25. Further, the EL element 31 is protected from external water and oxygen by a sealing material 32 made of an ultraviolet curable resin and a cover material 33 made of glass. In addition, the board | substrate 25 provided to the cover material 33 is called a passive matrix board | substrate in this specification.
[0034]
In this example, the passive matrix light-emitting device illustrated in FIG. 2A is provided by providing the color filter described in the embodiment mode (see FIG. 1A) on the back surface side of the passive matrix substrate described above. can get. The colored layer included in the color filter may contain a black pigment. Further, as shown in FIG. 2B, the color filter may be provided with an antireflection film 22 or a polarizing plate.
[0035]
In the light-emitting device of this example, the passive matrix substrate and the color filter are formed by separate processes, and both are bonded together, thereby suppressing a decrease in yield of the entire light-emitting device. In addition, since a passive matrix substrate and a color filter are manufactured at the same time, a manufacturing period as a light-emitting device is short.
[0036]
[Example 2]
In the light emitting device shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 2, after the active matrix substrate is completed, the substrate on which the element is formed is polished using a known CMP (Chemical Mechanical Polishing) technique to reduce the thickness of the substrate. Is valid. A light-emitting device of this example is shown in FIGS. In addition, what is necessary is just to refer description of embodiment about the code | symbol same as the code | symbol used in FIG. 1 or FIG.
[0037]
In FIG. 3A, reference numeral 35 denotes a substrate polished by the CMP technique, and other structures are the same as those in FIG. In this embodiment, the thickness of the substrate 35 is set to 300 μm or less (typically 100 to 300 μm) by the CMP technique. Setting the thickness to be equal to or less than the pixel pitch (distance from one pixel to the next pixel) is effective in increasing the directivity of light.
[0038]
FIG. 3B illustrates an example in which this embodiment is applied to a passive matrix light-emitting device. In this case, the structure is the same as that of FIG. 2B except that the substrate on which the EL element 31 is formed is polished by the CMP technique to form the substrate 36.
[0039]
When this embodiment is implemented, in addition to the effects of the present invention, the light-emitting device can be made thinner and lighter by thinning the substrate on which the element is formed.

In this embodiment, an example in which a plastic film (a film made of a polymer material) is used as a color filter substrate in the light emitting device shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. The light-emitting device of this example is shown in FIGS. In addition, what is necessary is just to refer description of embodiment about the code | symbol same as the code | symbol used in FIG. 1 or FIG.
[0041]
In FIG. 4A, the color filter film 40 is a film made of a polymer material (plastic film), and protective films 41a and 41b are provided on both surfaces (front and back surfaces). In this embodiment, a plastic film is taken as an example, but a hard plastic substrate may be used.
[0042]
In addition, as the protective films 41a and 41b, it is preferable to provide an insulating film that does not or does not easily transmit water or oxygen. Typically, a carbon film, preferably a diamond-like carbon (DLC) film is used. Since the DLC film can be formed in a temperature range from room temperature to 100 ° C., it can be easily formed even on a plastic film having low heat resistance. In addition, when a film is formed on a flexible plastic film, the film may be formed by a roll-to-roll method.
[0043]
FIG. 4B shows an example in which this embodiment is applied to a passive matrix light-emitting device. In this case, the structure is the same as that shown in FIG. 2B except that a color filter using a color filter film 40 provided with protective films 41a and 41b is bonded to the substrate on which the EL element 31 is formed.
[0044]
When this embodiment is implemented, in addition to the effects of the present invention, the weight of the color filter can be reduced, so that the light emitting device as a whole can be reduced in weight. Further, by using a plastic film provided with a protective film on both sides as the cover member 18, a flexible light-emitting device can be manufactured.
[0045]
Example 4
In this example, a specific method for manufacturing a light-emitting device will be described with reference to FIGS. Here, a method for simultaneously manufacturing a pixel portion and a TFT of a driver circuit provided around the pixel portion will be described. However, in order to simplify the explanation, a CMOS circuit which is a basic unit with respect to the drive circuit is illustrated.
[0046]
First, as shown in FIG. 5A, a base film 302 is formed to a thickness of 300 nm over a glass substrate 301. In this embodiment, a silicon nitride oxide film is stacked as the base film 302. At this time, the nitrogen concentration in contact with the glass substrate 301 is preferably set to 10 to 25 wt%.
[0047]
In addition, it is effective to provide the base film 302 with a heat dissipation effect, and it is effective to provide a carbon film, particularly a DLC (diamond-like carbon) film, on both surfaces or one surface of the substrate 301. The DLC film can be formed by a CVD method or a sputtering method, and has an advantage that it can be formed in a temperature range from room temperature to 100 ° C. or less.
[0048]
Next, an amorphous silicon film (not shown) having a thickness of 50 nm is formed on the base film 302 by a known film formation method. Note that the semiconductor film is not limited to an amorphous silicon film, and any semiconductor film including an amorphous structure (including a microcrystalline semiconductor film) may be used. Further, a compound semiconductor film including an amorphous structure such as an amorphous silicon germanium film may be used. The film thickness may be 20 to 100 nm.
[0049]
Then, the amorphous silicon film is crystallized by the technique described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-130652 to form a crystalline silicon film (also referred to as a polycrystalline silicon film or a polysilicon film) 303. In this embodiment, nickel is used as an element that promotes crystallization. Of course, as another crystallization method, a laser annealing crystallization method using laser light or a lamp annealing crystallization method using infrared light may be used.
[0050]
Next, as illustrated in FIG. 5B, the crystalline silicon film 303 is etched by a first photolithography process to form island-shaped semiconductor films 304 to 307. These are semiconductor films that later become active layers of the TFT.
[0051]
Here, in this embodiment, a protective film (not shown) made of a silicon oxide film is formed on the semiconductor films 304 to 307 to a thickness of 130 nm, and the semiconductor element is an impurity element (hereinafter referred to as a p-type impurity). Element) is added to the semiconductor films 304 to 307. As the p-type impurity element, an element belonging to Group 13 of the periodic table (typically boron or gallium) can be used. This protective film is provided in order to prevent the crystalline silicon film from being directly exposed to plasma when impurities are added and to enable fine concentration control.
[0052]
The concentration of the p-type impurity element added at this time is 1 × 10 ¹⁵ ~ 5x10 ¹⁷ atoms / cm ^Three (Typically 1x10 ¹⁶ ~ 1x10 ¹⁷ atoms / cm ^Three ). The p-type impurity element added at this concentration is used to adjust the threshold voltage of the n-channel TFT.
[0053]
Next, a gate insulating film 308 is formed so as to cover the semiconductor films 304 to 307. As the gate insulating film 308, an insulating film containing silicon with a thickness of 10 to 200 nm, preferably 50 to 150 nm may be used. This may be a single layer structure or a laminated structure. In this embodiment, a silicon nitride oxide film having a thickness of 115 nm is used.
[0054]
Next, a tantalum nitride film with a thickness of 30 nm is formed as the first conductive film 309, and a tungsten film with a thickness of 370 nm is formed as the second conductive film 310. These metal films may be formed by sputtering. Further, when an inert gas such as Xe or Ne is added as a sputtering gas, peeling of the film due to stress can be prevented. Further, by setting the purity of the tungsten target to 99.9999%, a low resistance tungsten film having a resistivity of 20 mΩcm or less can be formed.
[0055]
Next, resist masks 311a to 311g are formed, and the first conductive film 309 and the second conductive film 310 are etched. Note that in this specification, the etching process performed here is referred to as a first etching process.
[0056]
In this embodiment, an etching method using ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma) is employed. Etching gas is carbon tetrafluoride (CF _Four ) Gas and chlorine (Cl ₂ ) A gas mixed gas is used and a film forming pressure is set to 1 Pa. In this state, 500 W RF power (13.56 MHz) is applied to the coil-type electrode to generate plasma. Further, 150 W RF power (13.56 MHz) is applied as a self-bias voltage to the stage on which the substrate is placed, so that a negative self-bias is applied to the substrate.
[0057]
When the etching process is performed under such conditions, the selectivity between the tantalum nitride film and the tungsten film is close to 1: 1, and etching can be performed in a lump. Further, by using the receding of the resist masks 311a to 311e, a tapered shape having a taper angle of 15 to 45 ° can be obtained. Under the etching conditions of this embodiment, a taper angle of about 25 ° can be obtained.
[0058]
Thus, the gate electrodes 312 to 316 made of a laminated film of the first conductive film and the second conductive film, and the source wiring 317 and the drain wiring 318 of the switching TFT are formed. The drain wiring 318 also serves as the gate electrode of the current control TFT.
[0059]
Next, an n-type impurity element (phosphorus in this embodiment) is added in a self-aligning manner using the gate electrodes 312 to 316, the source wiring 317, and the drain wiring 318 as masks. In the impurity regions 319 to 327 thus formed, an n-type impurity element is 1 × 10 ²⁰ ~ 1x10 ^{twenty one} atoms / cm ^Three (Typically 2 × 10 ²⁰ ~ 5x10 ^{twenty one} atoms / cm ^Three ). These impurity regions 319 to 327 form the source region and drain region of the n-channel TFT. (Fig. 5 (C))
[0060]
Next, the gate electrode is etched using the resist masks 311a to 311g as they are. The etching conditions at this time may be the same as the first etching process. Here, the tapered portion of the gate electrode is retracted to form gate electrodes 328 to 332, a source wiring 333, and a drain wiring 334, which are thinner than those in FIG. (Fig. 5 (D))
[0061]
Further, as shown in FIG. 5E, the second conductive film (tungsten film) is selectively etched using the resist masks 311a to 311g as they are. The etching condition may be that oxygen gas is mixed as an etching gas with respect to the first etching process. In this specification, the etching process performed here is referred to as a second etching process. This is because the progress of etching of the first conductive film (tantalum nitride film) is extremely slowed by adding oxygen to the etching gas.
[0062]
At this time, gate electrodes 335 to 339 having a stacked structure of the first gate electrodes 335a to 339a and the second gate electrodes 335b to 339b are formed, and the first source wiring 340a and the second source wiring 340b are further formed. A source wiring 340 having a laminated structure and a drain wiring 341 having a laminated structure of a first drain wiring 341a and a second drain wiring 341b are formed.
[0063]
Next, the resist masks 311a to 311g are removed, and an n-type impurity element (phosphorus in this embodiment) is added as shown in FIG. In this step, n-type impurity elements are 2 × 10 2 in the n-type impurity regions 342 to 351. ¹⁶ ~ 5x10 ¹⁹ atoms / cm ^Three (Typically 5 × 10 ¹⁷ ~ 5x10 ¹⁸ atoms / cm ^Three ) To be included at a concentration of In this specification, an impurity region to which an n-type impurity element is added at this concentration is referred to as an n-type impurity region (b).
[0064]
At the same time, n-type impurity regions 352 to 361 are also formed. Since these impurity regions are formed of an n-type impurity element penetrating the first gate electrodes 335a to 339a, 1/2 to 1/10 of the n-type impurity regions 342 to 351 (typically 1/3). Phosphorus is added at a concentration of ~ 1/4). Specifically, 1 × 10 ¹⁶ ~ 5x10 ¹⁸ atoms / cm ^Three (Typically 3x10 ¹⁷ ~ 3x10 ¹⁸ atoms / cm ^Three ) Containing an n-type impurity element. In this specification, an impurity region to which an n-type impurity element is added at this concentration is referred to as an n-type impurity region (c).
[0065]
Further, since the n-type impurity element needs to be added through the first gate electrodes 335a to 339a and the gate insulating film 308, the acceleration voltage is set to a high value of 70 to 120 kV (90 kV in this embodiment).
[0066]
Next, as illustrated in FIG. 6B, a resist mask 362 is formed. Then, a p-type impurity element (boron in this embodiment) is added to form impurity regions 363 to 366 containing boron at a high concentration. Here, diborane (B ₂ H ₆ 3 × 10 by ion doping method using ²⁰ ~ 3x10 ^{twenty one} atoms / cm ^Three (Typically 5 × 10 ²⁰ ~ 1x10 ^{twenty one} atoms / cm ^Three Boron is added so that the concentration of The acceleration voltage may be 20-30 kV. In this specification, an impurity region to which a p-type impurity element is added at this concentration is referred to as a p-type impurity region (a).
[0067]
The p-type impurity regions (a) 363 to 366 are already 1 × 10 ²⁰ ~ 1x10 ^{twenty one} atoms / cm ^Three In this case, the boron added here is added at a concentration at least three times that of phosphorus. Therefore, the n-type impurity region formed in advance is completely inverted to the P-type and functions as a P-type impurity region.
[0068]
Next, after removing the resist mask 362, the n-type or p-type impurity element added at each concentration is activated. As an activation means, a furnace annealing method is used. In this embodiment, heat treatment is performed in an electric furnace in a nitrogen atmosphere at 550 ° C. for 4 hours. At this time, it is desirable to keep the oxygen concentration in the nitrogen atmosphere as low as possible. This is to prevent oxidation of the gate electrode, and preferably the oxygen concentration is 1 ppm or less.
[0069]
At this time, nickel used for crystallization of the amorphous silicon film is in the direction of the arrow in the region to which the n-type impurity element is added, that is, in the n-type impurity region or the p-type impurity region containing the n-type impurity element. Move and gettered. That is, the nickel concentration in the TFT channel formation regions 367 to 371 is greatly reduced, and at least 1 × 10 ¹⁶ atoms / cm ^Three The following (however, this value is the measurement lower limit of mass secondary ion analysis).
[0070]
Further, as shown in FIG. 6D, a protective film 372 made of a silicon nitride film or a silicon nitride oxide film is formed. Thereafter, heat treatment is performed in a temperature range of 300 to 450 ° C. in a nitrogen atmosphere to perform hydrogenation. This step is a step in which dangling bonds of the semiconductor are hydrogen-terminated by thermally excited hydrogen. In this process, hydrogen contained in the protective film 372 is diffused to perform a hydrogenation process. As another method, a known plasma hydrogenation treatment may be performed.
[0071]
Moreover, it is also possible to perform a hydrogenation treatment by performing a heat treatment at 300 to 450 ° C. for 1 to 12 hours in an atmosphere containing 3 to 100% hydrogen.
[0072]
When the hydrogenation process is completed, a resin film is formed to a thickness of 1 to 2 μm as the interlayer insulating film 373. As the resin material, polyimide, polyamide, acrylic resin, or BCB (benzocyclobutene) may be used. It is also possible to use a photosensitive resin.
[0073]
Note that the CF with respect to the surface of the interlayer insulating film 373 _Four It is effective to perform plasma treatment using a gas. By this treatment, the adhesion of the wiring to be formed next can be improved.
[0074]
Next, as shown in FIG. 7A, contact holes are formed in the interlayer insulating film 373, and wirings 374 to 380 are formed. In this embodiment, the wiring is a laminated film having a three-layer structure in which a 50 nm titanium film, an aluminum film containing 400 nm titanium, and a 100 nm titanium film are continuously formed by sputtering. Of course, other conductive films may be used.
[0075]
At this time, the wirings 374 and 376 function as source wirings of the CMOS circuit, and 375 functions as a drain wiring. The wiring 377 functions as a wiring that electrically connects the source wiring 340 and the source region of the switching TFT, and the wiring 378 functions as a wiring that electrically connects the drain wiring 341 and the drain region of the switching TFT.
[0076]
Next, a pixel electrode 381 made of an oxide conductive film that is transparent to visible light is formed. In this embodiment, an oxide conductive film obtained by adding gallium oxide to zinc oxide is used as the pixel electrode 381, and the film thickness is 120 nm. In addition, an oxide conductive film formed using indium oxide, zinc oxide, tin oxide, or a combination thereof can be used.
[0077]
Next, a bank 382 is formed as shown in FIG. The bank 382 may be formed by patterning an insulating film or organic resin film containing silicon of 100 to 400 nm. The bank 382 is formed so as to fill a space between the pixels (between the pixel electrode and the pixel electrode). Another purpose is to prevent an organic EL material such as a light emitting layer to be formed next from directly touching an end portion of the pixel electrode 381. In other words, it can be said that the insulating film has an opening on the flat surface of the pixel electrode 383.
[0078]
Note that since the bank 382 is an insulating film, attention must be paid to electrostatic breakdown of elements during film formation. In this embodiment, carbon particles or pigments are added to the insulating film that is the material of the bank 382 to lower the resistivity and suppress the generation of static electricity. At this time, the resistivity is 1 × 10 ⁶ ~ 1x10 ¹² Ωm (preferably 1 × 10 ⁸ ~ 1x10 ^Ten The added amount of carbon particles and pigment may be adjusted so that the resistance becomes Ωm.
[0079]
Here, pretreatment is performed on the surface of the pixel electrode 381. In this embodiment, the entire substrate is heated to 100 to 120 ° C., and ultraviolet light irradiation is performed while forming oxygen plasma. Thereby, ozone plasma treatment can be performed on the anode surface. By this pretreatment, adsorbed oxygen and adsorbed water are removed from the surface of the anode 381, and the work function of the surface is increased. Furthermore, the flatness of the anode surface is improved. The flatness of the anode surface may be such that the mean square roughness (Rms) of the surface is 5 nm or less (preferably 3 nm or less).
[0080]
Note that plasma treatment using a rare gas such as argon, neon, or helium may be used instead of the ozone plasma treatment.
[0081]
Next, the EL layer 383 is formed by a spin coating method. In this embodiment, the stacked body of the hole injection layer and the light emitting layer is called an EL layer. That is, a laminate in which a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a hole blocking layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, or an electron blocking layer are combined with the light emitting layer is defined as an EL layer. Note that these may be organic materials or inorganic materials, and may be polymers or low molecules.
[0082]
In this embodiment, first, polythiophene (PEDOT) is formed to a thickness of 20 nm as a hole injection layer, and polyvinylcarbazole (PVK) is formed to a thickness of 80 nm as a light emitting layer that emits white light. Polythiophene may be applied by dissolving in water, and polyvinylcarbazole may be applied by dissolving in 1,2-dichloromethane. In addition, after the hole injection layer and the light emitting layer are applied, heat treatment is performed in a temperature range (typically 80 to 120 ° C.) that does not break the EL layer, and the solvent is volatilized to obtain a thin film.
[0083]
For example, 1,2-dichloromethane, PVK, Bu-PBD (2- (4′-tert-butylphenyl) -5- (4 ″ -biphenyl) -1,3,4-oxadiazole), coumarin 6 , DCM1 (4-dicyanomethylene-2-methyl-6-p-dimethylaminostyryl-4H-pyran), TPB (tetraphenylbutadiene) and Nile Red may be used.
[0084]
In addition, as a polymer material that can be used as a light-emitting layer that emits white light, other materials described in JP-A-8-96959 or JP-A-9-63770 can be used.
[0085]
Next, after the EL layer 383 is formed, a cathode 384 made of a conductive film having a low work function is formed to a thickness of 400 nm. In this embodiment, aluminum and lithium are alloyed by co-evaporation. Thus, an EL element 385 including the pixel electrode (anode) 381, the EL layer 383, and the cathode 384 is formed.
[0086]
Note that it is effective to provide the passivation film 386 so as to completely cover the EL element 385 after the cathode 384 is formed. At this time, a film with good coverage is preferably used as the passivation film 386, and it is effective to use a carbon film, particularly a DLC film. Since the DLC film can be formed in a temperature range from room temperature to 100 ° C., it can be easily formed over the EL layer 383 having low heat resistance. In addition, the blocking effect against oxygen is high, and the oxidation of the EL layer 383 and the cathode 384 can be suppressed.
[0087]
Further, a sealing material 387 is provided over the passivation film 386 and a cover material 388 is attached thereto. As the sealing material 387, an ultraviolet curable resin may be used, and it is effective to provide a substance having a moisture absorption effect or a substance having an antioxidant effect inside. Further, the ultraviolet curable resin can be used as an adhesive.
[0088]
As the cover material 388, a glass substrate, a metal substrate, a ceramic substrate, or a plastic substrate (including a plastic film) can be used. It is effective to provide a carbon film, particularly a DLC film, on both sides or one side of the cover material 388. In addition, what is necessary is just to form a DLC film on both surfaces by a roll to roll system, when using a plastic film as a cover material.
[0089]
In this way, the state of FIG. Note that it is effective to continuously process the steps from the formation of the bank 382 to the formation of the passivation film 386 using a multi-chamber type (or in-line type) film formation apparatus without releasing to the atmosphere. . However, when the EL layer is formed by a spin coating method, the treatment may be performed in a nitrogen atmosphere or a rare gas atmosphere subjected to deoxidation treatment.
[0090]
Next, a glass substrate 390 is prepared for a color filter, and a colored layer (R) 391a, a colored layer (B) 391b, and a colored layer (G) (not shown) are formed thereon. At this time, the colored layer (R) 391a and the colored layer (B) 391b are overlapped at a portion indicated by 392. This overlapping portion 392 functions as a light shielding portion and is effective in clarifying the contour between pixels.
[0091]
Then, a resin layer 393 for flattening a step due to the colored layer (R) 391a, the colored layer (B) 391b, and the colored layer (G) (not shown) is provided to complete the color filter. Further, a color filter is bonded to the back side of the substrate 301 using the resin layer 393. Thus, the EL light emitting device shown in FIG. 8 is completed.
[0092]
Here, each TFT will be described. The drive circuit is formed with a CMOS circuit in which a p-channel TFT 401 and an n-channel TFT 402 are combined in a complementary manner as a basic unit. Note that the driving circuit here includes a shift register, a buffer, a level shifter, a latch, a sampling circuit (including a transfer gate), a D / A converter, or the like.
[0093]
The active layer of the p-channel TFT 401 includes a source region 411, a drain region 412, and a channel formation region 413. At this time, the source region 411 and the drain region 412 overlap with the first gate electrode 335a with the gate insulating film 308 interposed therebetween.
[0094]
The active layer of the n-channel TFT 402 includes a source region 414, a drain region 415, n-type impurity regions (b) 416 and 417, n-type impurity regions (c) 418 and 419, and a channel formation region 420. At this time, the n-type impurity regions (b) 416 and 417 are provided so as not to overlap with the first gate electrode 336a with the gate insulating film 308 interposed therebetween, and the n-type impurity regions (c) 418 and 419 are provided. The gate insulating film 308 is provided so as to overlap the first gate electrode 336a. Note that the n-type impurity regions (c) 418 and 419 provided so as to overlap with the first gate electrode 336a have an effect of suppressing hot carrier injection, and effectively suppress a deterioration phenomenon caused by hot carrier injection. can do.
[0095]
A switching TFT 403 and a current control TFT 404 are formed in the pixel portion. Note that the drain of the switching TFT 403 is electrically connected to the gate of the current control TFT 404, and the switching operation of the current control TFT 404 is controlled via the switching TFT 403. The amount of current flowing through the EL element is controlled by the current control TFT 404.
[0096]
The active layer of the switching TFT 403 includes a source region 421, a drain region 422, n-type impurity regions (b) 423 to 426, n-type impurity regions (c) 427 to 430, an isolation region 431, and channel formation regions 432 and 433. The source region 421 is connected to the source wiring 340 through the wiring 379. Further, the drain region 422 is connected to the drain wiring 341 through the wiring 380. The drain wiring 341 is connected to the gate electrode 339 of the current control TFT 404.
[0097]
The structure of the switching TFT 403 is basically the same as that of the n-channel TFT 402 so that the n-type impurity regions (b) 423 to 426 do not overlap the first gate electrodes 337a and 338a with the gate insulating film 308 interposed therebetween. The n-type impurity regions (c) 427 to 430 are provided so as to overlap the first gate electrodes 337a and 338a with the gate insulating film 308 interposed therebetween. That is, the structure is strong against hot carrier deterioration.
[0098]
Note that although an example in which an n-channel TFT is used as the switching TFT 403 is described in this embodiment, a p-channel TFT may be used.
[0099]
The active layer of the current control TFT 404 includes a source region 434, a drain region 435, and a channel formation region 436. The structure of the current control TFT 404 is basically the same as that of the p-channel TFT 401, and the source region 434 and the drain region 435 overlap with the first gate electrode 339a with the gate insulating film 308 interposed therebetween. In this embodiment, an example in which a p-channel TFT is used as the current control TFT 404 is shown, but an n-channel TFT may be used.

[0113]
Here, FIG. 12B shows a cross-sectional view corresponding to a cross section of FIG. 12A taken along line AA ′. In FIGS. 12A and 12B, the same reference numerals are used for the same parts.
[0114]
As shown in FIG. 12B, a pixel portion 808 and a gate side driver circuit 809 are formed over a glass substrate 906, and the pixel portion 808 is a pixel electrode electrically connected to the current control TFT 404 and its drain. 381 including a plurality of pixels. The gate side driver circuit 809 is formed using a CMOS circuit in which a p-channel TFT 401 and an n-channel TFT 402 are complementarily combined.
[0115]
The pixel electrode 381 functions as an anode of the EL element. A bank 382 is formed at both ends of the pixel electrode 381, and an EL layer 383 and a cathode 384 of the EL element are formed on the pixel electrode 381. The cathode 384 also functions as a wiring common to all pixels, and is electrically connected to the FPC 905 through the connection wiring 904. Further, all elements included in the pixel portion 808 and the gate side driver circuit 809 are covered with a cathode 384.
[0116]
Further, a cover material 901 is bonded to the first seal material 902. At this time, a spacer made of a resin film may be provided in order to secure a space between the cover material 901 and the EL element. A sealing material 907 is filled inside the first sealing material 902. Note that a photocurable resin is preferably used as the first sealant 902 and the sealant 907. The first sealing material 902 is desirably a material that does not transmit moisture and oxygen as much as possible. Further, a substance having a hygroscopic effect or a substance having an antioxidant effect may be contained in the sealing material 907.
[0117]
The sealing material 907 provided so as to cover the EL element also functions as an adhesive for bonding the cover material 901. As the sealing material 907, polyimide, acrylic, PVC (polyvinyl chloride), epoxy resin, silicone resin, PVB (polyvinyl butyral), or EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) can be used.
[0118]

[0122]
Example 5
In this embodiment, an example of the arrangement of the colored layers will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 14 shows a top view of the pixel portion, and the structure of each pixel is the same as that described with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10A to 10C.
[0123]
In FIG. 14, 1101 is a colored layer (R), 1102 is a colored layer (G), and 1103 is a colored layer (B). Reference numeral 1104 denotes a pixel that develops red, 1105 denotes a pixel that develops green, and 1106 denotes a pixel that develops blue. In this embodiment, a colored layer (R) 1101 is provided for the pixel 1104 that develops red, a colored layer (G) 1102 is provided for the pixel 1105 that develops green, and a colored layer (G) is provided for the pixel 1106 that develops blue. B) 1103 is provided.
[0124]
In addition, the colored layer (R) 1101, the colored layer (G) 1102, and the colored layer (B) 1103 overlap above the source wiring 1107 and the current supply line 1108, respectively, to form light shielding portions 1109a to 1109d and 1110. Thus, each pixel has a structure surrounded by the light shielding portions 1109a to 1109d and 1110, and light reaching the light shielding portions 1109a to 1109d and 1110 among the light emission generated by each pixel is absorbed. That is, it is possible to effectively suppress color mixing between adjacent pixels.
[0125]
In addition, it is effective that each colored layer contains a black pigment or carbon particles. As a result, light from the outside is absorbed, so that a problem that a person who observes an image is reflected on the cathode made of the metal film can be reduced. However, if the content is too large, the amount of luminescence itself is also lowered, so it is desirable to add 1 to 10%.
[0126]
Note that this embodiment may be combined with the EL light-emitting device described in the embodiment of the present invention, and can be implemented by freely combining with any structure of Embodiments 1 to 4.
[0127]
Example 6
In the embodiment of the invention and Example 4, an EL material capable of obtaining white light emission is used as the light emitting layer included in the EL layer, and the white light emitted therefrom is used as a colored layer (R), a colored layer (G) or An example in which red light, green light, or blue light is obtained by passing through the colored layer (B) is shown.
[0128]

Is formed. And color purity is improved by letting red light, green light, or blue light radiated | emitted from each light emitting layer pass through a colored layer (R), a colored layer (G), or a colored layer (B), respectively.
[0129]
In the case of this embodiment, it is necessary to form three types of EL materials capable of obtaining red, green, or blue light emission, but known materials can be used. In addition, since it is necessary to form a film separately for each pixel, if a low molecular EL material is formed by an evaporation method using a shadow mask, or a high molecular EL material is formed by an inkjet method or a printing method, good.
[0130]
Note that the configuration of this example can be implemented by freely combining with any of the configurations of the embodiment of the invention and Examples 1 to 5. In addition, as shown in Example 5, it is effective that each colored layer contains a black pigment or carbon particles.
[0131]
Example 7
In this embodiment, an example is shown in which an EL material that can emit blue or blue-green light is used as a light-emitting layer, and the light is passed through a color conversion layer to obtain red light, green light, or blue light.
[0132]
In the case of this embodiment, a color conversion layer that converts blue light into red light is formed for pixels that develop red, and a color conversion layer that converts blue light into green light is formed for pixels that develop green. A known layer may be used for this color conversion layer. Blue light emitted from the light emitting layer excites the color conversion layer to generate red light or green light.
[0133]
The color purity is obtained by passing the red light, green light and blue light emitted from the light emitting layer through the colored layer (R), colored layer (G) or colored layer (B), respectively. Improve.
[0134]
In this embodiment, since only a light emitting layer capable of obtaining blue or blue-green light emission may be formed as a light emitting layer, it is preferable to form a film by a simple technique such as a spin coating method or a printing method. Of course, it is also possible to form a film by an evaporation method.
[0135]
Note that the configuration of this example can be implemented by freely combining with any of the configurations of the embodiment of the invention and Examples 1 to 5. In addition, as shown in Example 5, it is effective that each colored layer contains a black pigment or carbon particles.
[0136]
Example 8
In this embodiment, an EL light-emitting device having a pixel portion having a structure different from that in Embodiment 4 is shown. The TFT structure and the EL element structure are substantially the same as those in Example 4 except that layers in which various wirings (gate wiring, source wiring, drain wiring, current supply line, etc.) are formed are different. Therefore, for the same parts as those in the fourth embodiment, the reference numerals used in FIGS. 9 and 10A to 10C are cited.
[0137]
Here, FIG. 15 shows a view of the pixel portion from above. Further, in FIG. 15, a cross-sectional view cut along AA ′ is shown in FIG. 16A, a cross-sectional view cut along BB ′ is shown in FIG. 16B, and a cross-sectional view cut along CC ′ is shown. As shown in FIG. 16A shows the cross-sectional structure of the switching TFT, FIG. 16B shows the cross-sectional structure of the current control TFT, and FIG. 16C shows the cross-sectional structure of the storage capacitor. The pixel portion shown here can be formed with reference to the manufacturing steps shown in FIGS.
[0138]
First, the switching TFT will be described with reference to FIGS. 15 and 16A. In FIGS. 15 and 16A, reference numeral 1201 denotes an active layer. The details of the active layer 1201 are the same as those of the switching TFT described with reference to FIG. A gate wiring 1202 overlaps on the active layer 1201 and functions as a gate electrode. A source wiring 1203 and a drain wiring 1204 are connected to the active layer 1201, and the drain wiring 1203 is connected to the gate wiring 1205 of the current control TFT.
[0139]
Next, the current control TFT will be described with reference to FIGS. 15 and 16B. Although the current control TFT has a structure in which two TFTs are connected in parallel, only one of them will be described here. 15 and 16B, reference numeral 1206 denotes an active layer. The details of the active layer 1206 are the same as those of the current control TFT described with reference to FIG. The source region of the active layer 1206 is connected to the current supply line 1207, and the drain region is electrically connected to the pixel electrode (anode of the EL element) 1209 through the drain wiring 1208.
[0140]
Further, the gate wiring 1205 of the current control TFT also serves as the upper electrode 1211 of the storage capacitor 1210 shown in FIG. 16C immediately below the current supply line 1207. At this time, the current supply line 1207 is electrically connected to the semiconductor film 1212, and the semiconductor film 1212 functions as a lower electrode of the storage capacitor 1210. With the structure of this embodiment, since the storage capacitor 1210 is completely hidden under the current supply line 1207, the effective light emission area of the pixel is not reduced.
[0141]
Next, the erase TFT will be described. In the pixel of this embodiment, an erasing TFT 1213 having the same structure as the switching TFT is provided. The active layer 1214 of the erase TFT 1213 has a source region connected to the current supply line 1207 and a drain region electrically connected to the gate wiring 1205 of the current control TFT via the drain wiring 1215. Note that since the structure of the active layer 1214 is the same as that of the switching TFT, description thereof is omitted here.
[0142]
An erase TFT gate wiring (hereinafter referred to as erase gate wiring) 1216 is provided in parallel with the switching TFT gate wiring 1202.
[0143]
When a signal for turning on the erase TFT 1213 is input to the erase gate wiring 1216, the gate wiring 1205 of the current control TFT is forcibly set to the same potential as the current supply line 1207. That is, since the current control TFT is turned off, no current is supplied to the EL element 385, light emission stops, and the pixel is turned off.
[0144]
Thus, by providing the erasing TFT 1213, the pixel can be forcibly turned off, and the controllability of the pixel lighting time is improved. That is, the number of gradations can be easily increased in the time gradation type image display. Note that Japanese Patent Application No. 11-338786 may be cited for an EL light emitting device using such an erasing TFT.

[0175]
Example 14
In this embodiment, an example in which a color filter is bonded by peeling off a substrate after an active matrix substrate is completed will be described. Note that the steps of this embodiment are effective in realizing the structure of the third embodiment.
[0176]
First, an active matrix substrate having the structure shown in FIG. However, a peeling layer 1701 is provided between the substrate 301 and the base film 302 in this embodiment. In this embodiment, an amorphous silicon film (a polycrystalline silicon film may be used) is used as the peeling layer 1701. In addition, a plastic film 1702 is used as the cover material 388, and DLC films 1703 a and 1703 b are provided on both surfaces of the plastic film 1702. (FIG. 20 (A))
[0177]
Next, the entire active matrix substrate is exposed to a gas containing halogen fluoride to remove the peeling layer 1701. In this embodiment, chlorine trifluoride (ClF) is used as halogen fluoride. _Three ) And nitrogen as the diluent gas. Argon, helium, or neon may be used as the dilution gas. Both flow rates were 500 sccm (8.35 × 10 ^-6 m ^Three / S), and the reaction pressure is 1 to 10 Torr (1.3 × 10 6). ² ~ 1.3 × 10 ^Three Pa). The processing temperature may be room temperature (typically 20 to 27 ° C.).
[0178]
Note that halogen fluoride is a substance represented by the chemical formula XFn (where X is a halogen other than fluorine and n is an integer), and is chlorine monofluoride (ClF), chlorine trifluoride (ClF). _Three ), Bromine monofluoride (BrF), bromine trifluoride (BrF) _Three ), Iodine monofluoride (IF) or iodine trifluoride (IF _Three ) Can be used. Halogen fluoride has a large selection ratio at the time of etching between the silicon film and the silicon oxide film, and the silicon film can be selectively etched.
[0179]
In this case, the silicon film which is the release layer is etched, but other portions exposed to the gas (the portions where the carbon film, the plastic film, the glass substrate, the resin film, and the silicon oxide film are exposed) are not etched. That is, the peeling layer 1701 is selectively etched by being exposed to chlorine trifluoride gas and finally completely removed.
[0180]
In this embodiment, the peeling layer 1701 is gradually etched from the exposed end portion, and the substrate 301 and the base film 302 are separated when completely removed. At this time, the TFT and the EL element are formed by laminating thin films, but remain in a form transferred to the plastic film 1702. (Fig. 20 (B))
[0181]

To produce a color filter. Then, the color filter is bonded to the base film 302.
[0183]
In this embodiment, since the TFT and the EL element are sandwiched between plastic films, the entire light emitting device becomes flexible. In addition, since all the substrates are formed of a plastic film, a thin and lightweight EL light emitting device can be obtained.
[0184]
Example 15
FIG. 22 shows an example of a film forming apparatus used for forming an EL element in carrying out the present invention. In this embodiment, a case where an in-line film forming apparatus is used will be described. In FIG. 22, reference numeral 201 denotes a load chamber from which the substrate 40 is transferred.

[0185]
The first valve 41 is a main valve, sometimes serving as a conductance valve, and sometimes using a butterfly valve. The second valve 43 is a fore valve. First, the second valve 43 is opened, the load chamber 201 is roughly decompressed by the rotary pump 44, and then the first valve 41 is opened and the turbo molecular pump 42 is decompressed to a high vacuum.
