Array substrate and preparation method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to display field, especially a kind of array substrate and preparation method thereof.
Background technique
Liquid crystal display device (Liquid Crystal Display, abbreviation LCD) has thin fuselage, power saving, radiationless etc.
Many merits are widely used, such as: mobile phone, personal digital assistant (PDA), digital camera, computer screen or
Laptop screen etc..
Organic Light Emitting Diode (Organic Light-Emitting Diode, abbreviation OLED) display, also referred to as has
Electroluminescent display is a kind of emerging panel display apparatus, due to its simple with preparation process, at low cost, power consumption
It is low, light emission luminance is high, operating temperature wide adaptation range, volume are frivolous, fast response time, and be easily achieved colored display and big
Screen shows, is easily achieved and matches with driver ic, is easily achieved the advantages that Flexible Displays, thus has wide
Application prospect.
OLED can be divided into passive matrix OLED (Passive Matrix Organic Light- according to driving method
Emitting Diode, abbreviation PMOLED) and active array type OLED (Active Matrix Organic Light-
Emitting Diode, abbreviation AMOLED) two major classes, i.e. directly addressing and film transistor matrix two classes of addressing.Wherein,
AMOLED has the pixel in array arrangement, belongs to active display type, and luminous efficacy is high, is typically used as high-definition big
Size finder.
Thin film transistor (TFT) (Thin Film Transistor, abbreviation TFT) is current liquid crystal display device and active matrix
Main driving element in type OLED display, is directly related to the developing direction of high performance flat display device.Film is brilliant
Body pipe has various structures, and the material for preparing the thin film transistor (TFT) of corresponding construction also has a variety of, and amorphous silicon (a-Si) material is
Relatively common one kind.
As liquid crystal display device and OLED display develop towards large scale and high-resolution direction, traditional a-
The mobility that Si only has the left and right 1cm2/ (Vs) can no longer meet requirement, with indium gallium zinc oxide (Indium Gallium
Zinc Oxide, abbreviation IGZO) have for the metal oxide materials of representative more than the mobility more than 10cm2/ (Vs), and
The good compatibility of the preparation of respective films transistor and the producing line that existing a-Si is semiconductor driving, rapidly becomes aobvious in recent years
Show the emphasis of field research and development.
It is had the advantage that relative to traditional a-Si TFT, IGZO TFT
1, the resolution ratio for improving display backboard, under the premise of guaranteeing identical transmitance, IGZO TFT shows point of backboard
Resolution can accomplish the 2 times or more of a-Si TFT, and the carrier concentration in IGZO material is high, and mobility is big, can reduce TFT's
Volume guarantees the promotion of resolution ratio;
2, the energy consumption of display device is reduced, for IGZO TFT compared with a-Si TFT, LTPS TFT, leakage current is less than 1pA;It drives
Dynamic frequency is reduced to 2-5Hz by original 30-50Hz, passes through special process, it might even be possible to reach 1Hz, although reducing the drive of TFT
Dynamic number, still can maintain the orientation of liquid crystal molecule, not influence the quality of picture, to reduce the power consumption of display backboard;
In addition, the high mobility of IGZO semiconductor material makes the TFT of smaller size can provide enough charging abilities and higher
Capacitance, and improve the aperture opening ratio of liquid crystal display panel, the effective area that light penetrates becomes larger, can with less back board module or
Low power consumption reaches identical brightness, reduces energy consumption;
3, by using modes such as intermittent drivings, the noise that can reduce liquid crystal display drive circuit examines touch screen
It being influenced caused by slowdown monitoring circuit, the ball pen tip of the brushstyle of a writing or painting that higher sensitivity or even tip may be implemented also is able to respond, and due to
Picture without update when can cut off the power, therefore its showed in energy-efficient effect it is more outstanding.
Currently, IGZO generally uses etch stopper type as the TFT of semiconductor active layer, due to there is etching barrier layer
(Etch Stop Layer, ESL) exists, the etching process of source-drain electrode, etching barrier layer can be effectively protected IGZO not by
To influence, guarantee that TFT has excellent characteristic of semiconductor.But the preparation process of the IGZO TFT of ESL type is complex, needs
By 6 yellow light techniques, it is unfavorable for reducing cost, therefore industry is generally pursued that light shield technique is less, cost is lower, device lean
The exploitation of the IGZO TFT of high back channel etching (Back Channel Etch, the BCE) type of change degree.
But BCE type IGZO TFT in the prior art is because back channel is needed by the damage for the techniques such as etching subsequent
Protective layer deposition process in using oxygen plasma bombardment will carry on the back channel passivation, and this technique simultaneously can be to IGZO TFT
