具体实施方式Detailed ways
为使本领域技术人员更好地理解本实用新型的技术方案,下面结合附图和具体实施方式对本实用新型作进一步详细描述。In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the utility model, the utility model will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
实施例1:Example 1:
如图2所示,本实施例提供一种阵列基板,该阵列基板包括薄膜晶体管区Q1和显示区Q2,薄膜晶体管区Q1设有薄膜晶体管,所述薄膜晶体管包括:栅极2、栅极绝缘层3、有源层4,其中有源层4对应栅极2的部分为有源区401。其中,所述栅极2位于基板1上,所述栅极绝缘层3覆盖所述栅极2,所述有源层4位于所述栅极绝缘层3上。As shown in Figure 2, this embodiment provides an array substrate, the array substrate includes a thin film transistor area Q1 and a display area Q2, the thin film transistor area Q1 is provided with a thin film transistor, and the thin film transistor includes: a
优选的是,所述有源区401的材料(当然也就是有源层4的材料)为金属氧化物半导体。例如其材料可以为氧化铟镓锌、氧化铟锌或氧化铟镓锡,优选为氧化铟镓锌或氧化铟锌;所述有源层4的厚度优选的在10nm至100nm之间。需要说明的是,如图2所示,从简化制备工艺的角度考虑,在显示区Q2也有所述有源层4,即所述有源层4可以延伸到显示区Q2,显然,此时的有源层4应当是透明的,而金属氧化物材料半导体均为透明材料,因此是优选的。Preferably, the material of the active region 401 (of course, the material of the active layer 4 ) is metal oxide semiconductor. For example, its material may be indium gallium zinc oxide, indium zinc oxide or indium gallium tin oxide, preferably indium gallium zinc oxide or indium zinc oxide; the thickness of the
薄膜晶体管区Q1和显示区Q2还包括透明导电层(例如氧化铟锡层),并且,所述透明导电层在薄膜晶体管区Q1构成薄膜晶体管的源极601和漏极602,在显示区Q2构成像素电极8。也就是说,源极601、漏极602和像素电极8都是由同一层透明导电层产生的。The thin film transistor region Q1 and the display region Q2 also include a transparent conductive layer (such as an indium tin oxide layer), and the transparent conductive layer forms the
现有技术中,薄膜晶体管的源极601和漏极602由一层源漏金属产生,像素电极8是由一层透明导电层产生,通常情况,像素电极8是通过源漏金属上钝化层7过孔与漏极602形成电连接的,而本实用新型的阵列基板中,源极601、漏极602和像素电极8由同一层透明导电层产生,如图2所示,漏极602与像素电极8直接连接,故其制作工艺简单,制作成本低。In the prior art, the
优选的是,所述阵列基板还包括源连接层10。Preferably, the array substrate further includes a
需要说明的是,所述源连接层10是用于与数据线(图中未示出)电连接的,现有技术中,源极601是直接与数据线连接的,本实施例提供的阵列基板中优选的通过源连接层10与数据线电连接,是因为本实施例中的源极601是由透明导电层构成的,而数据线通常是由金属材料制成的,故二者连接处的导电能力不佳,会使数据信号在传输到像素电极8的过程中数据信号失真较大,因此本实施例提供的阵列基板还优选的包括源连接层10。所述源连接层10材料优选的为钼、钼铌合金、铝、铝钕合金、钛、铜中的一种或多种材料形成的单层或多层复合叠层。It should be noted that the
优选的是,本实施例提供的阵列基板还包括源过渡层9。Preferably, the array substrate provided in this embodiment further includes a
需要说明的是,源过渡层9的作用是使得源连接层10与源极601电连接,因为源连接层10的材料为金属或合金,源极601则由透明导电层构成,如果直接将源连接层10与源极601连接,而不设置源过渡层9,仍会存在源连接层10与源极601的接触不良,导致在将源连接层10与数据线相连时,数据信号不能准确传输到像素电极8上,从而影响像素电极8电压的准确性和稳定性,进而影响液晶显示装置的显示效果。因此,本实施例提供的阵列基板上,在源极601和源连接层10之间还设置了源过渡层9。所述源过渡层9的材料为重掺杂的非晶硅(N+a-Si),这种材料能保证其良好的导电性能,也就保证了数据信号能准确的传输到像素电极8上。It should be noted that the function of the
进一步优选的是,所述源过渡层9与所述源连接层10图案相同。Further preferably, the pattern of the
如图2所示,源连接层10、源过渡层9和源极601的图案相同,这主要是为了制作工艺简单(即这些结构可在一次构图工艺中产生),事实上,源连接层10、源过渡层9和源极601的图案可以不同,根据具体需要具体设定。As shown in Figure 2, the patterns of the
需要进一步说明的是,图2中,在漏极602上方也有两层,分别为:与源过渡层9同层形成的过渡层薄膜和与源连接层10同层形成的金属层薄膜。这两层的存在对薄膜晶体管的性能并无影响,故从简化工艺的角度可将其保留,当然它们可以通过一定方式被去除。It should be further explained that, in FIG. 2 , there are also two layers above the
本实施例提供的阵列基板还优选的包括:覆盖所述薄膜晶体管区Q1和像素单元之间区域的钝化层7。该钝化层的作用在于保护薄膜晶体管等结构,如图2所示,在薄膜晶体管区Q1有钝化层7,而显示区Q2像素电极8上方没有钝化层7,可以理解的是,像素电极8要与公共电极形成电场,上方不能设置钝化层7。The array substrate provided in this embodiment further preferably includes: a
优选的是,所述阵列基板还包括设于有源区401上的刻蚀阻挡区5,不难理解的是,所述刻蚀阻挡区5的作用是确保在对透明导电层薄膜刻蚀时,有源区401不被刻蚀。Preferably, the array substrate further includes an
需要说明的是,本实施例提供的阵列基板的薄膜晶体管是以底栅型为例进行说明的,事实上,本实用新型所提及的技术方案也同样适用于包括顶栅型结构薄膜晶体管的阵列基板,只要源极601、漏极602与像素电极8由同层透明导电层薄膜产生即可。It should be noted that the thin-film transistors of the array substrate provided in this embodiment are described by taking the bottom-gate type as an example. In fact, the technical solutions mentioned in the present invention are also applicable to the thin-film transistors including the top-gate structure. As for the array substrate, as long as the
需要说明的是,本实施例提供的阵列基板是以不包括公共电极(即公共电极设于彩膜基板上)的形式为例的,但若公共电极也设于阵列基板上(即为IPS模式或ADS模式的阵列基板),也是可行的,只要其源极601、漏极602与像素电极8由同层透明导电层薄膜产生即可。另外,图中没有显示出数据线,但数据线只要与源连接层10相连(可使用过孔,也可直接连接等)即可。It should be noted that the array substrate provided in this embodiment is an example in which the common electrode is not included (that is, the common electrode is provided on the color filter substrate), but if the common electrode is also provided on the array substrate (that is, the IPS mode Or an array substrate in ADS mode) is also feasible, as long as the
本实用新型的阵列基板包括薄膜晶体管区Q1和显示区Q2,所述薄膜晶体管区Q1和显示区Q2还包括透明导电层,因为本实用新型的阵列基板的源极601、漏极602和像素电极8都是由同一层透明导电层薄膜产生的,故其制作工艺简单,制作成本低。The array substrate of the present utility model includes a thin film transistor region Q1 and a display region Q2, and the thin film transistor region Q1 and display region Q2 also include a transparent conductive layer, because the
实施例2:Example 2:

需要说明的是,如图4至6所示,去除有源区401和各像素单元之间区域的金属层薄膜、过渡层薄膜、透明导电层薄膜和有源层薄膜的过程是同步进行的,但是因为在有源区401上方有刻蚀阻挡区5,因此在同步去除有源层4时,真正去除的只是各像素单元之间区域的有源层薄膜,有源区的有源层薄膜不被刻蚀。It should be noted that, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the process of removing the metal layer film, the transition layer film, the transparent conductive layer film and the active layer film in the area between the

S0422、如图5所示,对过渡层薄膜进行干刻,去除有源区和各像素单元之间区域的过渡层薄膜,同理,保留其他区域的过渡层薄膜(因为其被覆盖在未被刻蚀的金属层薄膜之下,故不会被刻蚀);S0422.

具体的,如图7所示,所述阵列基板包括多个像素单元,每个像素单元包括薄膜晶体管区Q1和显示区Q2。需要说明的是,为了清楚的显示结构,图7中仅画出了源极601、漏极602、栅极2、像素电极8和刻蚀阻挡层5,并没有画出栅绝缘层3、源过渡层9、源连接层10等层,本领域技术人员应当理解并知晓其他层的结构和位置。可见,S04步骤后,透明导电层薄膜在有源区处断开,裸露出刻蚀阻挡区5,并形成了源极601(实际上源极601上方还有源过渡层9和源连接层10,未画出)和漏极602(图中为了显示出漏极602与像素电极8直接相连而做出了标示,但实际上漏极602上还覆盖有剩余的过渡层薄膜和金属层薄膜)。同时,如图7中所示,也去除了各像素之间区域的金属层薄膜、过渡层薄膜、透明导电层薄膜和有源层薄膜,使得各相邻像素之间没有多余的层。Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7 , the array substrate includes a plurality of pixel units, and each pixel unit includes a thin film transistor area Q1 and a display area Q2 . It should be noted that, in order to clearly show the structure, only the
S05、通过构图工艺用透明导电层薄膜形成包括像素电极8的图形。S05. Form a pattern including the
如图8至10所示,S05步骤优选的具体包括以下:As shown in Figures 8 to 10, the S05 step preferably specifically includes the following:
S051、如图8所示,形成钝化层7,并在钝化层7上涂覆光刻胶层;S051, as shown in FIG. 8, form a
其中,所述钝化层7优选的由硅的氧化物(SiOx)、硅的氮化物(SiNx)、铪的氧化物(HfOx)、硅的氮氧化物(SiON)、铝的氧化物(AlOx)或由其中两种或多种组成的多层叠层膜组成,钝化层7可以用等离子体增强化学气相沉积技术制作,其特点是膜层含有较低的低氢含量、并且有很好的表面特性。Among them, the
S052、对光刻胶层进行曝光、显影,其中显示区Q2无剩余光刻胶层;S052, exposing and developing the photoresist layer, wherein there is no remaining photoresist layer in the display area Q2;
S053、如图9所示,通过干刻法去除显示区Q2无光刻胶层遮挡的钝化层7;S053. As shown in FIG. 9 , remove the
如图10所示,通过湿刻法去除显示区Q2无光刻胶层遮挡的金属层薄膜;As shown in FIG. 10 , remove the metal layer thin film in the display area Q2 that is not covered by the photoresist layer by wet etching;
通过干刻法去除显示区Q2无光刻胶遮挡的过渡层薄膜,使透明导电层薄膜暴露形成包括像素电极8的图形,即形成图2所示的阵列基板;也就是说,在本步骤(S05)的形成包括像素电极8的图形的过程中,实际并未对透明导电层薄膜进行刻蚀,只是去除了显示区Q2中的钝化层7、金属层薄膜、过渡层薄膜,从而使显示区Q2的透明导电层薄膜暴露形成包括像素电极8的图形;Remove the transition layer film in the display area Q2 without photoresist shielding by dry etching, expose the transparent conductive layer film to form a pattern including the
S054、去除剩余的光刻胶层。S054 , removing the remaining photoresist layer.
需要说明的是,因为过渡层薄膜可以通过干刻法去除,使得位于显示区Q2的透明导电层薄膜在去除过渡层薄膜这一步时不会受到不良影响。这是因为对于透明导电层薄膜来说,若位于其上的层需要通过湿刻去除的话,必然也会将透明导电层薄膜去除一部分,干刻法则不能去除透明导电层薄膜。It should be noted that since the transition layer film can be removed by dry etching, the transparent conductive layer film located in the display area Q2 will not be adversely affected during the step of removing the transition layer film. This is because for the transparent conductive layer film, if the layer on it needs to be removed by wet etching, part of the transparent conductive layer film will also be removed, and the dry etching method cannot remove the transparent conductive layer film.
需要进一步说明的是,在显示区Q2如果没有过渡层薄膜和金属层薄膜也是可行的,也就是说,在S05步骤之前(S04步骤)已经去除了透明电极层上的过渡层薄膜和金属层薄膜,或者本实施例的阵列基板薄膜晶体管区Q1和显示区Q2都不包括过渡层薄膜和金属层薄膜(这种情况下,数据线与源极601的电连接性能不好,但是也是可行的),即显示区Q2透明导电层上方就是钝化层7,可以直接通过干刻法去除所述钝化层7,也可以形成像素电极8。It needs to be further explained that it is also feasible if there is no transition layer film and metal layer film in the display area Q2, that is, the transition layer film and metal layer film on the transparent electrode layer have been removed before the step S05 (step S04) , or neither the thin film transistor region Q1 nor the display region Q2 of the array substrate in this embodiment includes transition layer films and metal layer films (in this case, the electrical connection performance between the data line and the
本实施例提供的阵列基板制作方法,虽然增加了源过渡层9和源连接层10,但是因为这两层是同源极601和漏极602在一次构图工艺中制作得到的,并没有增加更多的构图工艺,同时,由于本实施的阵列基板上的源极601、漏极602和像素电极8是由同一层透明导电层薄膜形成的,无需通过钝化层7过孔使得像素电极8与漏极602连接,将现有技术中需要通过6道光刻分别形成栅极2,氧化物有源层4,刻蚀阻挡区5,源极601和漏极602,钝化层7过孔和像素电极8的氧化物薄膜晶体管阵列基板的制作方法简化为只需4道光刻的阵列基板制作方法,故其制作工艺简单,制作成本低。Although the method for fabricating the array substrate provided in this embodiment adds the
