高可靠性Cu BCE a-IGZO TFTs的制作

背沟道刻蚀型（BCE）非晶氧化铟镓锌薄膜晶体管（a-IGZO TFT）具有工艺简单、寄生电容小以及开口率高等优点,但BCE IGZO器件背沟道易受酸液和等离子体损伤,进而引起TFT均匀性和稳定性等方面问题,随着GOA技术的导入,对TFT器件电学性能的均匀性和稳定性提升的要求也日益迫切,因此开发高信赖性BCE IGZO TFT是技术和市场的迫切要求。本文主要分析了基于IGZO的背沟道刻蚀型薄膜晶体管电学性质,通过优化钝化层材料,色阻材料以及GOA TFT结构等削弱因背沟道水汽吸附引起的器件劣化,偏压温度应力测试结果显示优化后的TFT展现了良好的稳定性——在80℃,栅极30 V负向偏压条件下,2 000 s的ΔV_th小于1 V。最终,利用优化的IGZO TFT制作了215.9 mm（85 in）8K4K 120 Hz液晶显示器。

TFT-LCD高温光照漏电流改善研究

造成TFT不稳定的问题点一般认为有两种:一是沟道内半导体材料内部的缺陷,另一个是栅极绝缘层内的或是绝缘层与沟道层界面的电荷陷阱。TFT-LCD在长期运行时由于高温及光照的影响会导致漏电流增加,进而对TFT造成破坏。分析研究表明,TFT沟道在刻蚀完成后,沟道内部存在一定的缺陷以及绝缘层与沟道层界面存在电荷陷阱,平面电场宽视角核心技术-高级超维场转换技术型产品由于设计的原因面临着如果进行氢处理会导致与其与氧化铟锡中的铟发生置换反应,导致铟的析出,所以无法采用氢处理。理论分析表明Si-O键稳定,本文主要介绍通过氯气/氧气和六氟化硫/氧气对TFT沟道进行处理改善高温光照漏电流。结果表明,通过氯气/氧气和六氟化硫/氧气处理TFT沟道后,高温光照漏电流从18.19pA下降到5.1pA,可见氯气/氧气和六氟化硫/氧气对沟道处理可有效改善高温光照漏电流。

埋氧离子注入对P型部分耗尽SOI电学与低频噪声的影响

针对抗辐照SOI PMOS器件的直流特性与低频噪声特性展开试验与理论研究,分析离子注入工艺对PMOS器件电学性能的影响,并预测其稳定性的变化。首先,对离子注入前后PMOS器件的阈值电压、迁移率和亚阈摆幅进行提取。测量结果表明:埋氧化层离子注入后,器件背栅阈值电压由-43.39 V变为-39.2 V,空穴有效迁移率由127.37 cm2/Vs降低为80.45 cm2/Vs,亚阈摆幅由1.35 V/dec增长为1.69 V/dec;结合背栅阈值电压与亚阈摆幅的变化,提取得到埋氧化层内电子陷阱与背栅界面态数量的变化。随后,分析器件沟道电流噪声功率谱密度随频率、沟道电流的变化,提取γ因子与平带电压噪声功率谱密度,由此计算得到背栅界面附近的缺陷态密度。基于电荷隧穿机制,提取离子注入前后埋氧化层内陷阱态随空间分布的变化。最后,基于迁移率随机涨落机制,提取得到离子注入前后PMOS器件的平均霍格因子由6.19×10-5增长为2.07×10-2,这表明离子注入后器件背栅界面本征电性能与应力稳定性将变差。

Hydrogenated amorphous silicon thin-film transistor on plastic with an organic gate insulator

We developed a high-performance, hydrogenated amorphous silicon thin-film transistor (a-Si:H TFT) on plastic substrate using an organic gate insulator. The TFT with a silicon-nitride (SiN/sub x/) gate insulator exhibited a field-effect mobility of 0.3 cm/sup 2//Vs and a threshold voltage of 5 V. On the other hand, an a-Si:H TFT with an organic gate insulator of BCB (benzocyclobutene) has a field-effect mobility of 0.4 cm/sup 2//Vs and a threshold voltage of 0.7 V. The leakage currents through the gate insulator of an a-Si:H TFT with an organic gate insulator is about two orders of magnitude lower than that of an a-Si:H TFT with a SiN/sub x/ gate insulator.     

Phosphorus Doping Effect in a Zinc Oxide Channel Layer to Improve the Performance of Oxide Thin-Film Transistors

In this study, we fabricated phosphorus-doped zinc oxide-based thin-film transistors (TFTs) using direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering at a relatively low temperature of 100°C. To improve the TFT device performance, including field-effect mobility and bias stress stability, phosphorus dopants were employed to suppress the generation of intrinsic defects in the ZnO-based semiconductor. The positive and negative bias stress stabilities were dramatically improved by introducing the phosphorus dopants, which could prevent turn-on voltage (V _ON) shift in the TFTs caused by charge trapping within the active channel layer. The study showed that phosphorus doping in ZnO was an effective method to control the electrical properties of the active channel layers and improve the bias stress stability of oxide-based TFTs.     

氧分压对铟镓锌氧薄膜晶体管性能影响

采用标准的液晶显示屏基板制备工艺制备出铟镓锌氧薄膜晶体管(IGZO-TFT),通过调节IGZO薄膜工艺中氧分压,研究不同氧分压对TFT器件电学性能的影响。实验结果表明,所有器件都展现出良好的电学特性,随着氧分压从10%增加到50%,TFT的阈值电压由0.5 V增加到2.2 V,而亚阈值摆幅没有发生变化。在栅极施加30 V偏压3600 s后,随着氧分压的增加,阈值电压向正向的漂移量由1 V增加到9 V。经过分析得出高氧分压的IGZO-TFT器件中载流子浓度低,建立相同导电能力的沟道时所需要栅极电压会更大,阈值电压会增加。而在金属-绝缘层-半导体(MIS)结构中低载流子浓度会导致有源层能带弯曲的部分包含更多与电子陷阱相同的能态,栅介质层(GI)会俘获更多的电子,造成阈值电压漂移量较大的现象。     

Advanced Amorphous Silicon Thin-Film Transistors for AM-OLEDs: Electrical Performance and Stability

We fabricated and characterized the advanced amorphous silicon thin-film transistors with a bilayer structure for both the active and gate dielectric films. The electrical field across the gate insulator has a significant influence on the device threshold voltage electrical stability. We show that high thin-film transistor stability can be achieved even under the presence of a high channel current. Its electrical and high-temperature stability improves up to a factor of five when the TFT biasing condition changes from the linear to the saturation region of operation.     

A new poly-Si TFT structure with air cavities at the gate-oxideedges

We propose a new poly-Si TFT structure employing air cavities at the edges of gate oxide in order to reduce the threshold voltage shift after electrical stress and to decrease the large leakage current. Due to the low dielectric constant of air, the air cavity behaves as a thick insulator reducing the vertical electric field near the drain, so that poly-Si region under air cavity acts as an offset. The new poly-Si TFT structure has been successfully fabricated by employing wet etching of the gate oxide followed by atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (APCVD) oxide deposition. Our experimental results show that the leakage current is considerably reduced without decrease of the on-current and the device stability such as threshold voltage shift under high-gate bias is also improved     

Hydrogenated amorphous silicon thin-film transistor with a thingate insulator

Thinning the gate insulator in an hydrogenated amorphous silicon thin-film transistor (a-Si:H TFT) has been studied in a coplanar structure. The threshold voltage decreases with decreasing gate insulator thickness without changing the field effect mobility significantly. The reduction in the threshold voltage is due to the decrease in the charge traps in the SiN_x and in its film thickness. The coplanar a-Si:H TFT with a gate insulator thickness of 35 nm exhibited a field effect mobility of 0.45 cm²/Vs and a threshold voltage of 1.5 V. The thickness of the gate insulator can be decreased in the coplanar a-Si:H TFTs because of the planarized gate insulator     

Influence of channel layer and passivation layer on the stability of amorphous InGaZnO thin film transistors

The electrical stability of amorphous InGaZnO (a-IGZO) TFTs with three different channel layers was investigated. Compared with the single channel layer, the a-IGZO TFT with double stacked channel layer showed the lowest threshold voltage shift with slightly change in field effect mobility and sub-threshold swing under positive and negative gate bias stress tests. Moreover, sputtered SiN_x thin film was served as passivation layer where the V_th shift in bias stress effect evidently became less. It was found that the passivated a-IGZO TFT with double stacked channel layer still exhibited the best stability. The results prove that the stability of a-IGZO TFTs can be effectively improved by using double stacked channel layer and passivation layer.
