When the second thin film transistor (TFT) 21 turns on, capacitor 80 is electrically charged, and charge volume in this case Can be proportional to the voltage potential supplied from data wire (DL).End at the second thin film transistor (TFT) 21 While, when the signal with the voltage being increased for every frame is input to capacitor line (CL), The gate potential of the first film transistor 11 can pass through electric capacity according to based on gesture charged in capacitor 80 Voltage level that device line (CL) applies and increase.The first film transistor 11 exceeds threshold value at gate potential Turn on during voltage.The voltage being applied to public power wire VDD can pass through the first film transistor 11 quilt It is applied to Organic Light Emitting Diode 70, and Organic Light Emitting Diode 70 is luminous.
The configuration of pixel region (PE) is not limited to above description, but can be by those skilled in the art at this Change in every way in the range of inventive embodiment.
Referring now to Fig. 3, the configuration of the thin film transistor (TFT) 11 according to exemplary embodiment is described. Thin film transistor (TFT) 11 can represent the first film transistor shown in Fig. 2.The second thin film shown in Fig. 2 is brilliant Body pipe 21 can have the configuration identical with thin film transistor (TFT) 11, or can have different configurations.
Substrate 111 can utilize the transparent insulation substrate of glass, quartz, pottery or plastics to be formed.But, Substrate 111 is not limited to this, but substrate 111 can also be formed as stainless metal basal board.And, When substrate 111 is made of plastics, it can be formed as flexible base board.
Cushion 120 can be formed on substrate 111.Cushion 120 can be by utilizing chemical gaseous phase Deposition or physical vapour deposition (PVD) are formed as monolayer or include at least one of silicon oxide layer and silicon nitride layer Multilamellar.
Cushion 120 can be by preventing dampness produced by substrate 111 or the diffusion of impurity or logical Cross and control the transfer rate of heat during crystallization, and contribute to the crystallization of amorphous silicon layer.
By utilizing the semiconductor layer 131 of metallic catalyst and crystallization can be formed at cushion 120 On.Semiconductor layer 131 can be by being formed the amorphous silicon layer formed on cushion 120 Polysilicon layer, then patterns this polysilicon layer and is formed.Metallic catalyst is for non-crystalline silicon Layer crystallization, and the metallic catalyst of residual volume can stay in the semiconductor layer 131 after crystallization.
In the present example embodiment, super grain silicon (SGS) crystallization method can be used.SGS Crystallization method, will by the concentration of the metallic catalyst spreading to amorphous silicon layer being controlled to low concentration The size of crystal grain control from several μm to hundreds of μm.Metallic catalyst scatter with low concentration, thus will The concentration of the metallic catalyst spreading to amorphous silicon layer controls to low concentration.
SGS crystallization method can at low temperatures within the relatively short time to amorphous silicon layer.Example As, for by utilizing nickel (Ni) as the metallic catalyst process to amorphous silicon layer, nickel (Ni) Can combine with the silicon (Si) in amorphous silicon layer to become nickel disilicide (NiSi2).Nickel disilicide (NiSi2) The seed cultivating crystal can be served as.
Therefore, by metallic catalyst the polysilicon layer of crystallization can to have the crystal grain of tens μm big Little, this can be more than the grain size of solid phase crystallization (SPC) polysilicon layer.
And, in the case of the polysilicon layer formed by SGS crystallization method, many sub-crystal grain limits Boundary may reside in single grain boundary, thus minimize the uniformity caused due to grain boundary and deteriorate.
Further, the thin film transistor (TFT) 11 of the polysilicon layer that utilization is formed by SGS crystallization method can To have relatively high current d pivability energy, namely electron mobility, but it is likely to be due to remain in Metallic catalyst in semiconductor layer 131 and there is relatively high leakage current.But, according to this example Property embodiment, leakage current can remain in the amount of metallic catalyst in semiconductor layer 131 by reduction And be inhibited.
In detail, before amorphous silicon layer is formed on cushion 120, metallic catalyst can with from 1.0e12 atom/cm2To 1.0e15 atom/cm2In the range of area density be dispersed on cushion 120. Metallic catalyst can occur between cushion 120 and amorphous silicon layer.Less amount of metallic catalyst can To be dispersed on cushion 120 as molecule.It is formed to be less than 1.0e12 atom at metallic catalyst /cm2Area density time, the core of the quantity of seed, i.e. crystallization can be less, and is likely difficult to root According to SGS crystallization method, amorphous silicon layer sufficient crystallising is become polysilicon layer.On the other hand, at metal catalytic Agent is formed to be larger than 1.0e15 atom/cm2Area density time, spread to the metal catalytic of amorphous silicon layer The gold that the quantity of agent may be increased to reduce the crystal grain of polysilicon layer and increase remains in polysilicon layer The quantity of metal catalyst.Therefore, the semiconductor layer 131 formed by polysilicon layer is patterned Characteristic may be degraded.
This exemplary embodiment is not limited to foregoing description.Crystallization inducing metal (MIC) method or metal Induced lateral crystallization (MILC) method can be used for utilizing the crystallization method of metallic catalyst.
Metallic catalyst can not be dispersed between cushion 120 and amorphous silicon layer, but is dispersed in On the top of amorphous silicon layer.But, it is arranged under amorphous silicon layer at metallic catalyst to cultivate crystal Time, be arranged on metallic catalyst on amorphous silicon layer with cultivate crystal situation compared with, grain boundary May become more to obscure, and the defect in crystal grain may be further reduced.
Metallic catalyst can include nickel (Ni), palladium (Pd), titanium (Ti), silver (Ag), gold (Au), Stannum (Sn), antimony (Sb), copper (Cu), cobalt (Co), molybdenum (Mo), terbium (Tb), ruthenium (Ru), At least one of cadmium (Cd) and platinum (Pt).Such as, nickel (Ni) can serve as metallic catalyst.Logical Cross the nickel disilicide (NiSi that the combination of nickel (Ni) and silicon (Si) produces2) crystal can be effectively facilitated Long.
Gate insulation layer 140 can be formed on semiconductor layer 131.Gate insulation layer 140 can be formed as covering Semiconductor layer 131 on lid cushion 120.Gate insulation layer 140 can include such as tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS), silicon nitride (SiNX) or silicon oxide (SiO2) at least one insulant.
Gettering layer (getter layer) 135 can be formed on gate insulation layer 140.Gettering layer 135 is permissible Utilize the metal oxygen with the diffusion coefficient lower than the diffusion coefficient of the metallic catalyst in semiconductor layer 131 Compound is formed.In detail, the diffusion coefficient of gettering layer 135 can be more than 0 and less than metal catalytic The 1/100 of the diffusion coefficient of agent.
When the diffusion coefficient of gettering layer 135 equals to or less than the 1/100 of metallic catalyst, gettering layer 135 Can effectively absorb the metallic catalyst in semiconductor layer 131.
Nickel as metallic catalyst has 10 in semiconductor layer 131-5cm2The diffusion system of/s or less Number.Therefore, in the case of nickel (Ni) is used for metallic catalyst, gettering layer 135 has more than 0 And less than 10-7cm2The diffusion coefficient of/s is probably effectively.For forming the getter metals of gettering layer 135 Can be scandium (Sc), titanium (Ti), zirconium (Zr), hafnium (Hf), vanadium (V), niobium (Nb), Tantalum (Ta), chromium (Cr), molybdenum (Mo), tungsten (W), manganese (Mn), rhenium (Re), ruthenium (Ru), At least one of osmium (Os), cobalt (Co), rhodium (Rh), iridium (Ir) and platinum (Pt).It also may be used To be yttrium (Y), lanthanum (La), germanium (Ge), praseodymium (Pr), neodymium (Nd), dysprosium (Dy), holmium (Ho), at least one of aluminum (Al), titanium nitride (TiN) and tantalum nitride (TaN).And, Alloy or their silicide of metal described above can be used for getter metals.
Gettering layer 135 can form getter metals layer and to this getter metals layer by utilizing getter metals Heat treatment is applied to be formed.This heat treatment process is performing at a temperature of 400 to 993 degrees Celsius. When getter metals layer is heated, getter metals layer can be oxidized to become gettering layer 135.And, During heat treatment process, the metallic catalyst in semiconductor layer 131 at least partly can pass through air-breathing Layer 135 is removed.
For the process for eliminating the metallic catalyst in semiconductor layer 131, as heat treatment process As a result, remain in the metallic catalyst in semiconductor layer 131 at least partly can move to semiconductor layer The part of the contact getter metals layer of 131.In this case, metallic catalyst can be deposited in suction On gas metal level, and can no longer migrate, this is because keep and air-breathing for metallic catalyst Metal level contact gear ratio is stayed in semiconductor layer 131 thermodynamically more stable.Therefore, remain in and partly lead At least partly can being removed of metallic catalyst in body layer 131.
The place that gettering layer 135 engages semiconductor layer 131 is not shown in FIG. 3, this is because gettering layer This part of 135 is eliminated during forming the process of contact hole 166 and 167 to describe. It is removed owing to gettering layer 135 contacts the part of semiconductor layer 131, the therefore characteristic of thin film transistor (TFT) 11 Deteriorate due to remained less metallic catalyst and by more stable suppression.
The gettering layer 135 utilizing metal-oxide to be formed can have in the range of several nm to tens nm Thickness.Gettering layer 135 can serve as insulator with supply gate insulating barrier 140.Have at gettering layer 135 When having the thickness less than several nm, effectively remove metallic catalyst and may become highly difficult.On the other hand, When gettering layer 135 has the thickness more than tens nm, thermal stress may be produced in heat treatment process.

Contact hole 166 and 167 can extend through interlayer insulating film 160, gettering layer 135 and gate insulation Layer 140 is to expose the appropriate section of semiconductor layer 131.
Source electrode 176 and the drain electrode 177 of contact semiconductor layer 131 can pass through corresponding contact hole 166 It is formed on interlayer insulating film 160 with 167.Source electrode 176 can be spaced apart with drain electrode 177.With Gate electrode 151 similarly, source electrode 176 and drain electrode 177 can include molybdenum (Mo), chromium (Cr), At least one of aluminum (Al), silver (Ag), titanium (Ti), tantalum (Ta) and tungsten (W).
According to configuration as above, thin film transistor (TFT) 11 can have by utilizing metallic catalyst to exist Crystallized semiconductor layer 131 at low temperatures and in the short time, and this semiconductor layer 131 remains The amount of metallic catalyst can effectively be reduced.
And, display device 101 can have the thin film transistor (TFT) 11 with semiconductor layer 131, at this In semiconductor layer 131, the amount of metallic catalyst may the most effectively be reduced.
