Description
本發明係關於薄膜電晶體,更特別關於氧化物半導體作為通道層之結構及方法。
在薄膜電晶體(TFT)之製程中,氧化物半導體(oxide semiconductor)的開發愈來愈受到重視,在日商與韓商已是列為重點開發項目之一。氧化物半導體可為氧化鋅(ZnO)、氧化鎵鋅(GZO)、氧化鋁鋅(AZO)、氧化鋅錫(ZTO)、氧化銦鋅(IZO)、及氧化銦鎵鋅(IGZO)等等。氧化物半導體用於元件製作上,已有背通道蝕刻(BCE)五道光罩製程、倒閘極共平面型五道光罩製程、與採用蝕刻停止層的六道光罩製程。上述製程中,六道光罩製程之蝕刻停止層可保護通道層,所得到的元件特性表現皆較五道光罩者為佳,但需多一道光罩。以五道光罩製程而言,倒閘極共平面型五道光罩製程可獨立定義各層,較不受蝕刻選擇特性限制,對面板製造商而言所需進行之變更最少,較具量產優勢。但以未來大面積面板所需之銅金屬製程搭配氧化物半導體技術組合,在保護層覆蓋銅金屬層前,需以還原氣氛之電漿(如氫氣電漿)將金屬表面之氧化物還原為銅。然而氧化物半導體對於還原氣氛電漿極為敏感,將造成元件失效。
綜上所述,目前亟需一種新穎製程,在不增加光罩數目的情況下,有效保護通道層不受後續製程如還原電漿損害。
本發明一實施例提供一種薄膜電晶體的形成方法,包括形成閘極於基板上;形成閘極介電層於閘極與基板上;形成源極/汲極於閘極兩側的閘極介電層上;形成氧化物半導體層於源極/汲極與閘極介電層上;形成絕緣蓋層於氧化物半導體層上;以及圖案化絕緣層與氧化物半導體層,形成絕緣蓋層覆蓋通道層。
本發明另一實施例提供一種薄膜電晶體,包括閘極位於基板上;閘極介電層位於閘極與基板上;源極/汲極位於閘極兩側的閘極介電層上;通道層位於閘極中間部份的閘極介電層上,且通道層接觸源極/汲極;以及絕緣蓋層覆蓋通道層,其中通道層包括氧化物半導體。
下列說明中的實施例將揭露如何形成並使用薄膜電晶體。必需理解的是,這些實施例提供多種可行的發明概念,並可應用於多種特定內容中。特定實施例僅用以說明形成及使用實施例的特定方式,並非用以侷限本發明的範圍。
如第1A圖所示,形成圖案化金屬層12於基板10上。基板10可為透光(如玻璃、石英、或類似物)或不透光(如晶圓、陶瓷、或類似物)之剛性無機材質,亦可為塑膠、橡膠、聚酯、或聚碳酸酯等可撓性有機材質。在某些實施例中的基板10採用透光材質,最後形成的薄膜電晶體可應用於穿透式、半穿反、或反射式液晶顯示器。在其他實施例中的基板10採用不透光或透光性不佳的材質,最後形成的薄膜電晶體只能應用於反射式液晶顯示器,或自發光顯示器上。
上述圖案化金屬層12之材質可為金屬、合金、或上述之多層結構。在某些實施例中,圖案化金屬層12為鉬、鋁、銅、鈦等單層或多層組合的金屬或合金。圖案化金屬層12之形成方法可為形成金屬層於基板10上,再以微影圖案化製程搭配蝕刻法形成圖案化金屬層12。金屬層之形成方法可為物理氣相沉積法(PVD)、濺鍍法、或類似方法。微影圖案化製程可為下述步驟:塗佈光阻如旋塗法、軟烘烤、對準光罩、曝光、曝光後烘烤、顯影、沖洗、乾燥如硬烘烤、其他合適製程、或上述之組合。此外,微影之曝光製程可改用其他方法如無光罩微影、電子束直寫、或離子束直寫。蝕刻製程可為乾蝕刻、濕蝕刻、或上述之組合。雖然在後述之第1C圖中,圖案化金屬層12只作為薄膜電晶體之閘極以及與之相連的閘極線,但圖案化金屬層12亦可作為接觸墊、儲存電容之下電極、或其他元件,端視需要而定。
如第1B圖所示,接著形成介電層14於圖案化金屬層12上。介電層14之組成可為有機材質如有機矽氧化合物,或無機材質如氮化矽、氧化矽、氮氧化矽、碳化矽、氧化鋁、氧化鉿、或上述材質之多層結構。介電層14之形成方法可為化學氣相沉積法(CVD)如電漿增強式CVD(PECVD)、低壓CVD(LPCVD)、次常壓CVD(SACVD)、物理氣相沉積(PVD)、或類似技術。雖然在後述之第1C圖中,介電層14僅作為薄膜電晶體閘極介電層,但介電層14亦可作為儲存電容之電容介電層或其他元件,端視需要而定。可以理解的是,第1C圖中剖面線A-A’之剖視圖即第1B圖所示之結構。
如第2A圖所示,形成另一金屬層16於介電層14上。金屬層16之材質可為金屬、合金、或上述之多層結構。在某些實施例中,金屬層16為銅或銅合金。在其他實施例中,金屬層16不含銅,比如鉬/鋁/鉬之多層結構、或鉬/鋁/鈦多層或單層金屬或合金。金屬層16之形成方法可為電鍍法、無電電鍍法、PVD、濺鍍法、或類似方法。
如第2B圖所示,形成圖案化光阻層18於金屬層16上,其形成方法可為微影圖案化製程如上述,在此不贅述。以圖案化光阻層18作遮罩蝕刻金屬層16,即形成源極16A與汲極16B。蝕刻方法可為乾蝕刻、濕蝕刻、或上述之組合。之後可移除圖案化光阻層18,移除方法可為濕式去光阻剝膜液去除或光阻灰化。雖然在後述之第2C圖中,金屬層16在圖案化後作為薄膜電晶體之源極/汲極16A/16B與源極線,但亦可作為其他線路或其他元件,端視需要而定。可以理解的是,第2C圖中剖面線A-A’之剖視圖即第2B圖移除圖案化光阻層18後所示之結構。
如第3A圖所示,形成氧化物半導體層32於第2B圖移除圖案化光阻層18後之結構上,再形成絕緣層34於氧化物半導體層32上。在一實施例中,氧化物半導體層32之組成可為氧化鋅、氧化銦、銦鎵鋅氧化物、或氧化錫。在其他實施例中,氧化物半導體層32可為氧化鋅、氧化銦、銦鎵鋅氧化物、氧化錫、氧化鎵、氧化鋁、及氧化鈦中至少兩者之組合。氧化物半導體層32之形成方法可為CVD如PECVD、LPCVD、SACVD、物理與氣相沉積(PVD)、溶液合成方式沉積、或類似方法。在本發明一實施例中,絕緣層34之組成可為有機材料如壓克力系材料,其形成方法可為旋轉塗佈法、狹縫塗佈法、浸泡法、或其他類似方法。在本發明另一實施例中,絕緣層34之組成可為無機材料如氧化矽、氮化矽、氮氧化矽、氧化鋁、氧化鈦、氧化鉿、或氮化鋁,其形成方法可為濺鍍法、CVD如PECVD、LPCVD、或SACVD、或類似沉積方法。在其他實施例中,絕緣層34之組成為鈍化金屬層如氧化鋁、氧化鈦、氮化鈦、或其他氧化或氮化的金屬層,其形成方法係先形成金屬層於氧化物半導體體層32上,再以氧氣或氮氣鈍化金屬層。不過值得注意的是,鈍化金屬層需考慮到物質本性。舉例來說,氧化鋁與氮化鋁均為絕緣材料,因此鋁的鈍化方式可為氧化或氮化。另一方面,氧化鈦為絕緣材料但氮化鈦仍為導電材料,因此鈦的鈍化方式只能採用氧化而不能採用氮化。上述步驟需於等壓如真空中進行。在本發明一實施例中,形成氧化物半導體層32與絕緣層34之步驟均位於同一反應腔中進行。在本發明其他實施例中,形成氧化物半導體層32與絕緣層34之步驟係於等壓系統中的不同反應腔中進行。
如第3B圖所示,形成圖案化光阻層36於絕緣層34上,其形成方法可為微影圖案化製程如上述,在此不贅述。接著以一段蝕刻製程移除未被圖案化光阻層36覆蓋之絕
緣層34與氧化物半導體層32,形成絕緣蓋層37覆蓋通道層38。上述之一段蝕刻製程可為乾蝕刻如烷類、氫氣、氬氣、與鹵酸等混合氣體,或濕蝕刻如氫氟酸。最後移除圖案化光阻層36,即形成第3C圖所示之結構。
第4A圖至4D圖與第3A圖至3C圖之製程類似,唯一差異在於第4A至4D圖形成絕緣蓋層37與通道層38之蝕刻製程為分段蝕刻製程而非一段蝕刻製程。舉例來說,可先進行第一道蝕刻製程,移除未被圖案化光阻層36遮罩之絕緣層34以形成絕緣蓋層37,如第4C圖所示。接著再進行第二道蝕刻製程,移除未被圖案化光阻層36遮罩之氧化物半導體層32以形成通道層38,再移除圖案化光阻層36如第4D圖所示。第一道蝕刻製程與第二道蝕刻製程可針對氧化物半導體層32與絕緣層34之蝕刻選擇性,分別採用不同的乾蝕刻或濕蝕刻條件。舉例來說,可採用一般蝕刻氧化物的氣體乾蝕刻絕緣層34,再採用草酸或鋁酸濕蝕刻氧化物半導體層32。不論採用一段或分段蝕刻製程,最後都應形成絕緣蓋層37覆蓋通道層38之結構。可以理解的是,第3D圖之剖面線A-A’之剖視圖即第3C或第4D圖所示之結構。
在第3C圖及第4D圖之結構中,絕緣蓋層37之下表面與通道層38之上表面兩者之寬度實質上相等。但在其他實施例中,絕緣蓋層37之下表面寬度可略大於或略小於通道層38之上表面寬度,且兩者之寬度差距約介於0μm至2μm之間。不論如何,絕緣蓋層37之下表面較佳與通道層38之上表面的寬度一致。若寬度差距若超過2μm,將不利後續製程。
接著可形成保護層52於第3C圖(或第4D圖)之結構上。保護層52之組成可為氮化矽、氧化矽、氮氧化矽、碳化矽、氧化鋁、氧化鈦、氧化鉿、或上述材質之多層結構,其形成方式可為CVD、PECVD、或PVD。在本發明一實施例中,在形成保護層52之前,會先以還原性電漿(如氫氣電漿)處理第3C圖(或第4圖)之結構表面,以增加保護層52之接著性。特別是在源極/汲極16A/16B之組成含銅時,通道層38之形成步驟如微影及蝕刻會氧化源極/汲極16A/16B的表面,因此更需以還原製程如氫氣使源極/汲極16A/16B表面之氧化銅還原為銅。若通道層38上方未覆蓋絕緣蓋層37,上述的還原性電漿及/或還原製程均會還原通道層38之氧化物半導體,使其形成導體並破壞元件功能。
接著以微影圖案化製程形成圖案化光阻(未圖示),再以圖案化光阻為遮罩進行蝕刻製程,即形成接觸孔54如第5A圖所示。可以理解的是,第5B圖之剖面線A-A’之剖視圖即第5A圖所示之結構。
如第6A圖所示,形成導電圖案62於第5A圖所示之結構上。導電圖案62係形成於保護層52上作為畫素電極,並經由接觸孔54電性連接至汲極16B。導電圖案62之形成方法為先形成導電層後,再以微影圖案化製程與蝕刻製程圖案化導電層,至此完成薄膜電晶體。若薄膜電晶體係應用於穿透式LCD中,導電圖案62之組成可為銦錫氧化物(ITO)、銦鋅氧化物(IZO)、鋁鋅氧化物(AZO)、鎘錫氧化物(CTO)、氧化錫(SnO2
)、或氧化鋅(ZnO)等透明導電材料。若薄膜電晶體係應用於反射式LCD中,導電圖案62之組成可為鋁、金、錫、銀、銅、鐵、鉛、鉻、鎢、鉬、釹、上述之氮化物、上述之氧化物、上述之氮氧化物、上述之合金、或上述之組合。此外,反射式的導電圖案62之表面呈現凹凸狀,以增加光線之反射及散射之效果。若薄膜電晶體係應用於半穿反LCD中,則分別採用透明組成或反射組成於穿透區或反射區中。
雖然本發明已以數個較佳實施例揭露如上,然其並非用以限定本發明,任何熟習此技藝者,在不脫離本發明之精神和範圍內,當可作任意之更動與潤飾,因此本發明之保護範圍當視後附之申請專利範圍所界定者為準。
