本发明实施例提供的阵列基板的制作方法中, 在两个多晶硅岛的上方设 计栅极和栅极线, 将栅极线作为第二个栅极, 从而在没有降低开口率的情况 下形成了薄膜晶体管的多栅极结构, 达到降低薄膜晶体管关态电流 Ioff的效 果, 在保持 Ioff不增加及开口率不降低的同时, 去除了额外掩模板的使用, 改善了现有技术中额外掩模带来的加工成本与加工时间的浪费。 同时, 本发 明也改善了现有技术中因额外掩模造成的曝光对准误差与掺杂结构偏移的缺 点。 In the method for fabricating the array substrate provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the gate and the gate line are designed over the two polysilicon islands, and the gate line is used as the second gate, so that the aperture ratio is not reduced. The multi-gate structure of the thin film transistor is formed to reduce the off-state current Ioff of the thin film transistor, and the use of the additional mask is removed while the Ioff is not increased and the aperture ratio is not lowered, thereby improving the extra in the prior art. The processing cost and processing time caused by the mask is wasted. At the same time, the present invention also improves the disadvantages of prior art exposure alignment errors and doping structure shifts due to additional masks.
而且由于减小了 W/L的大小,使得 Ioff进一步减小。 W/L变小引起的 Ion 减小可由 LTPS的高迁移率所弥补, 因为像素电压的刷新频率是远远低于周 边电路工作频率的。 And because the size of W/L is reduced, Ioff is further reduced. The Ion reduction caused by the smaller W/L can be compensated by the high mobility of the LTPS because the refresh rate of the pixel voltage is much lower than the operating frequency of the peripheral circuit.
其中, W/L是薄膜晶体管沟道的宽长比, W为沟道宽度, L为沟道长 度, 当 Vgs-Vth≥ Vds时, 有: Where W/L is the width to length ratio of the thin film transistor channel, W is the channel width, and L is the channel length. When Vgs-Vth ≥ Vds, there are:
Ids= μ eff((8ms80/tms)(W/L)(Vgs-Vth)Vds, Ids= μ eff((8 ms 8 0 /t ms )(W/L)(Vgs-Vth)Vds,
当 Vgs-Vth < Vds时, 有: When Vgs-Vth < Vds, there are:
Ids =(1/2) μ eff{(8ms8o/tms)(W/L)(Vgs-Vth)2, Ids = (1/2) μ eff {(8 ms 8o/t ms )(W/L)(Vgs-Vth) 2 ,
式中 εο为真空中介电常数, tms为栅绝缘层厚度, ns为栅绝缘层相对介 电常数, 从而 nss。/tms为单位面积栅绝缘层的电容值, Vgs为栅极 -源极电压, Vds为漏极 -源极电压, Vth为截止电压, μ είΓ为等效载流子迁移率。 由上面 公式可看出, Ids始终与 W/L成正比, 所以 W/L减小, 即会减小 TFT开启电 流 Ion , 也会减小关闭电流 Ioff。 Where εο is the vacuum dielectric constant, t ms is the thickness of the gate insulating layer, ns is the relative dielectric constant of the gate insulating layer, and thus ns s. /t ms is the capacitance value of the gate insulating layer per unit area, Vgs is the gate-source voltage, Vds is the drain-source voltage, Vth is the cutoff voltage, and μ είΓ is the equivalent carrier mobility. As can be seen from the above formula, Ids is always proportional to W/L, so W/L is reduced, which reduces the TFT turn-on current Ion and also reduces the turn-off current Ioff.
