The liquid crystal display device includes an opposing color filter substrate (Color Filter, CF) and a thin film transistor array (TFT array) substrate, and a liquid crystal layer (LC layer) sandwiched therebetween.
在传统的薄膜晶体管阵列基板制造流程中,有时需要在绝缘层上进行开过孔(through hole),该绝缘层包括复合的单层或独立层叠设置的多层结构,由于该绝缘层上无法添加修锥度(taper)膜且其上部分与下部分致密度不一致,所以在蚀刻时会导致绝缘层开孔处出现底切(undercut)的现象,绝缘层侧壁的taper呈弧形(即弯曲状)或呈直角态,在绝缘层的侧壁易呈现尖角,而且绝缘层的厚度较厚,例如达到以上,此时因生产能力的局限性容易出现开孔异常的状况,造成接触不佳的问题,产生底切可能会导致后续层别的膜层填充在孔内时导致断线,进而影响显示面板的显示功能。In the traditional manufacturing process of thin film transistor array substrates, it is sometimes necessary to make through holes on the insulating layer. The insulating layer includes a composite single layer or a multilayer structure independently stacked. The tapered film is trimmed and the density of the upper part and the lower part are inconsistent, so the undercut phenomenon will occur at the opening of the insulating layer during etching, and the tape on the sidewall of the insulating layer is arc-shaped (ie curved ) or at a right angle, the side walls of the insulating layer are prone to sharp corners, and the thickness of the insulating layer is thick, such as reaching As mentioned above, at this time, due to the limitation of production capacity, abnormal openings are prone to occur, resulting in poor contact problems. Undercutting may lead to disconnection when other layers of film are filled in the holes, which in turn affects the display panel. display function.

在衬底10上形成覆盖第一金属层的第一绝缘层12,即第一绝缘层12覆盖栅极111、扫描线和第一引线113。A first
在第一绝缘层12上形成覆盖第一绝缘层12的有源层薄膜13,有源层薄膜13和第一绝缘层12上下叠置设置,以形成复合结构层。有源层薄膜13例如采用非晶硅(a-Si)层,但并不以此为限。An active layer
对非显示区102内的有源层薄膜13和第一绝缘层12进行图案化处理,形成贯穿有源层薄膜13和第一绝缘层12的第一接触孔120,第一接触孔120位于所述第一引线113上方,第一引线113由该第一接触孔120露出,有源层薄膜13的蚀刻速率(ER,Etch Rate)大于第一绝缘层12的蚀刻速率。有源层薄膜13为第一绝缘层12的上层膜层,将有源层薄膜13作为开孔时第一绝缘层12的引导层,在对应第一接触孔120的位置对有源层薄膜13和第一绝缘层12进行开孔,能够形成自上而下贯穿有源层薄膜13和第一绝缘层12的第一接触孔120。The active layer
具体地,形成贯穿有源层薄膜13和第一绝缘层12的第一接触孔120的步骤包括:Specifically, the step of forming the
如图3a所示,在有源层薄膜13上形成第一光阻层21。As shown in FIG. 3 a , a
如图3b所示,通过光罩对第一光阻层21进行曝光、显影形成图案化的光阻层,第一光阻层21包括不透光区域及不透光区域以外的透光区域,不透光区域即保留下来的光阻材料,透光区域即显影后光阻材料被去除的区域,透光区域对应有源层薄膜13和第一绝缘层12需要去除的位置,有源层薄膜13从透光区域露出。As shown in FIG. 3b, the
如图3c所示,蚀刻去除透光区域下的有源层薄膜13及第一绝缘层12。具体地,本次蚀刻采用干蚀刻,并且有源层薄膜13的厚度小于第一绝缘层12,当有源层薄膜13被蚀刻穿的时候,第一绝缘层12从有源层薄膜13露出,随即开始蚀刻第一绝缘层12。As shown in FIG. 3c, the active layer
需要说明的是,蚀刻具有非等向性,在衬底10上纵向的蚀刻力度会大于横向的蚀刻力度。由于有源层薄膜13和第一绝缘层12的蚀刻速率不同,有源层薄膜13的蚀刻速率较快,当有源层薄膜13被蚀穿后,初步预留了第一接触孔120的待蚀刻位置,在有源层薄膜13对应孔的侧壁充当蚀刻第一绝缘层12的引导或者过渡作用,接着蚀刻第一绝缘层12时,上方的有源层薄膜13也在逐渐往后退,利用蚀刻速率较小的膜层当引导层,弥补了横向的蚀刻力度。It should be noted that the etching is anisotropic, and the etching strength in the longitudinal direction on the
并且第一绝缘层12的致密性比较大,所以先露出的部位蚀刻时间比较长,再加上第一绝缘层12的上表面与有源层薄膜13相接触,使得蚀刻气体很难与第一绝缘层12的上表面发生反应,随着有源层薄膜13的逐渐后退以及第一绝缘层12的进一步蚀刻,所以蚀刻气体在有源层薄膜13的侧壁的引导下只得朝斜下方进行蚀刻,因此形成了贯穿有源层薄膜13和第一绝缘层12的第一接触孔120,在第一绝缘层12的对应第一接触孔120的侧壁具有平缓的坡度,呈现了良好的taper角(蚀刻后断面的倾斜度),并且没有底切(undercut)的现象。And the compactness of the first insulating
如图3d所示,采用灰化工艺去除第一光阻层21的不透光区域。As shown in FIG. 3d , an ashing process is used to remove the opaque area of the
进一步地,可以通过改变成膜和蚀刻参数达到提高有源层薄膜13的蚀刻速率或者降低第一绝缘层12的蚀刻速率的目的。具体地,第一绝缘层12采用氮化硅(SiNx)材料,采用化学气相沉积法(CVD)形成,化学气相沉积法使用的反应气体包括硅烷(SH4)、氨气(NH3)和氮气(N2),有源层薄膜13使用的反应气体包括硅烷、氢气和磷烷(PH3)。Further, the purpose of increasing the etching rate of the active layer
其中,第一绝缘层12在高速成膜状态下控制硅烷的流量取值范围为1860-2100sccm(标准状况下毫升/分钟),氨气的流量取值范围为15400-17300sccm;在低速成膜状态下控制硅烷的流量取值范围为600-700sccm,氨气的流量取值范围为7600-9000sccm,有效降低了第一绝缘层12的蚀刻速率,并且该范围值不会造成电性的改变。其他相关气体的流量可参考现有技术,在此不再赘述。具体地,在本实施例中,在高速成膜状态下硅烷的流量为1860sccm,氨气的流量为17300sccm;在低速成膜状态下硅烷的流量为600sccm,氨气的流量为9000sccm。Wherein, the first insulating
为了蚀刻效果良好,图案化有源层薄膜13时采用ECCP模式进行蚀刻,当有源层薄膜13被蚀刻穿的时候,随即采用RIE模式开始蚀刻第一绝缘层12。For a good etching effect, the ECCP mode is used to etch the active layer
在对应第一接触孔120的位置蚀刻有源层薄膜13时,蚀刻工艺的通入气体包括六氟化硫(SF6)气体、氦气(He)和氯气(Cl2),六氟化硫的流量取值范围为310sccm-500sccm,氦气的流量取值范围为100sccm-300sccm,有效增加了等离子体(plasma)的均一性,氯气的流量取值范围为2100sccm-2200sccm,蚀刻工艺采用的压力取值范围为40-50mTorr(毫托),蚀刻工艺采用的功率取值范围为5000-6000W,由于ECCP采用双电源,所以使用的功率也为双功率,有效提高了有源层薄膜13的蚀刻速率。在本实施例中,蚀刻工艺的具体参数例如压力为50mTorr,功率为6000W+6000W,六氟化硫的流量为500sccm,氦气的流量为300sccm,氯气的流量为2200sccm。When the
在对应第一接触孔120的位置蚀刻第一绝缘层12时,蚀刻工艺的通入气体包括六氟化硫气体、氧气和氦气,六氟化硫的流量取值范围为510sccm-600sccm,氦气的流量取值范围为600sccm至1000sccm,有效增加了等离子体的均一性,蚀刻工艺采用的压力取值范围为160-170mTorr。在本实施例中,蚀刻工艺的具体参数例如压力为170mTorr,六氟化硫的流量为600sccm,氦气的流量为1000sccm。When the first insulating
优选地,在蚀刻出贯穿有源层薄膜13和第一绝缘层12的第一接触孔120后,第一绝缘层12两侧的锥度角可控制在30°左右,甚至低于30°,并且有源层薄膜13和第一绝缘层12共同蚀刻后的关键尺寸偏差(CD bias)的平均值为0.37um左右,证明在第二次蚀刻第一绝缘层12对线宽影响的程度比较小。Preferably, after the
在本实施例中,如图3e至图3g所示,在形成贯穿有源层薄膜13和第一绝缘层12的第一接触孔120的步骤后,在有源层薄膜上涂布第二光阻层22,对有源层薄膜13进行曝光、显影及蚀刻处理,形成位于显示区101内的硅岛131,有源层薄膜13对应硅岛131以外的区域被去除。如图3h所示,去除第二光阻层22。In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3e to FIG. 3g, after the step of forming the
进一步地,如图3i至图3l所示,在第一绝缘层12和硅岛131上形成第二金属层14,在第二金属层14上涂布第三光阻层23,并对第二金属层14进行曝光、显影及蚀刻处理,形成位于显示区101内的源极141、漏极142及数据线(图未示),以及形成位于非显示区102的第二引线143,第二引线143填入第一接触孔120中与第一引线113电连接,实现导通,由于第一绝缘层12与第二引线143接触的侧壁为平滑的坡度,所以第二引线143不会发生断线的风险。去除第三光阻层23。Further, as shown in FIGS. 3i to 3l, a
值得一提的是,如图4所示,为了获得更窄的极限边框,该方法还包括在衬底10上形成第一金属层的步骤前,在衬底10上形成第三金属层,即在第一金属层下方设置第三金属层,对非显示区102内的第三金属层进行图案化处理形成第三引线151。第三引线151连接外部的电路,实现信号的传输。It is worth mentioning that, as shown in FIG. 4 , in order to obtain a narrower limit frame, the method further includes forming a third metal layer on the

实施例二Embodiment 2
本实施例部分与实施一相同,相同部分在此不再赘述,不同之处在于:如图5a至图5l所示,在形成贯穿有源层薄膜13和第一绝缘层12的第一接触孔120的步骤前,对有源层薄膜13进行图案化处理,在显示区101内形成硅岛131,在非显示区102内形成蚀刻引导部132,蚀刻引导部132对应第一接触孔120的位置。The parts of this embodiment are the same as those of the first implementation, and the same parts will not be repeated here. The difference is: as shown in FIG. 5a to FIG. Before
具体地,如图5a至图5c所示,在有源层薄膜13上涂布第四光阻层24,经过曝光、显影及蚀刻,在形成第一接触孔120的位置处保留了部分有源层薄膜13,作为后续蚀刻的引导或过渡,即蚀刻引导部132。如图5d所示,去除第四光阻层24。Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 5 a to 5 c , a

经过湿蚀刻工艺,如图5j所示,在非显示区102内形成覆盖蚀刻引导部132的第二引线143,并且第二引线143填入第一接触孔120中与第一引线113电性连接,在显示区101内形成相互绝缘间隔设置的源极141和漏极142。可以理解的,如图5k所示,也可以继续蚀刻硅岛131,将硅岛131上的掺杂非晶硅层蚀刻掉以形成沟道。After a wet etching process, as shown in FIG. 5j , a
如图5l所示,去除第六光阻层26。As shown in FIG. 51, the
在本实施例中,第二引线143覆盖蚀刻引导部132,第二引线143的边缘远大于蚀刻引导部132的边缘,即第二引线143在衬底10上的正对面积大于蚀刻引导部132在衬底10上的正对面积,以免因沟道蚀刻造成此处第二引线143边缘undercut,导致在后层酸蚀刻时渗漏,使第一引线113缺失。In this embodiment, the
