Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing thin film transistors (TFT), with a direct stepped structure and a low number of mask levels, making it possible to make contact between the gate of a transistor and the source or the drain of the same. or another transistor, and which can be used for the manufacture of flat liquid crystal screens, in particular on screens with integrated control electronics.
- TFT thin film transistors
- a liquid crystal display is made up of a number of liquid crystal cells arranged in a matrix and connected by lines and columns for connection to the control electronics.
- a first support plate consists of a substrate containing a first set of electrodes, the control components of these electrodes, as well as the addressing lines and columns (active matrix).
- the liquid crystal is contained between this plate and a second support plate constituting the counter-electrode.
- Each pixel thus formed functions as an optical valve.
- the local modification of the transmission or the reflection of the light is obtained by applying from the control electronics a voltage between an access contact of the plate and a contact of the counter plate. This voltage gives rise to an electric field between the facing electrodes and activates the volume of liquid crystal located between the two electrodes which more or less changes the characteristics of the light passing through it.
- an active element with two (diode) or three terminations (transistor) is associated with each pixel and with each row - column intersection.
- the manufacture of such screens can call upon methods of manufacturing active matrices made up of thin-film transistors.
- These transistors can have a direct staged structure, that is to say that, with respect to the substrate, the grid is above the source and drain, or reverse staged, that is to say that the grid is located below the source and drain.
- a direct stepped structure is described in European patent application 82 783 "process for manufacturing transistors in thin silicon layers on insulating substrate "(F. Morin et al), as well as in an article by JAPAN DISPLAY '86" A 6 "Diagonal Active Matrix Addressed LCD for MINITEL Application” by the same authors.
- the technology described in these documents is very economical since it makes it possible to produce thin film transistors with only two levels of masks, by manufacturing the data columns at the same time as the electrodes.
- an article by Y. Ugai et al "A 7.23-in. -Diagonal Color LCD Addresssed by a-Si TFTs" (SID 84 DIGEST, page 308) proposes the manufacture of a direct stage transistor made with three mask levels.
- this invention overcomes these drawbacks through an economical manufacturing process with three or four levels of masks.
- this invention relates to methods of manufacturing thin-film transistors direct stages with four levels of masks that can be used in a liquid crystal screen, it is characterized in that it comprises the following steps:. deposition and etching of a first conductive level on an insulating substrate so as to form a source and a drain,
- deposition and etching of a second insulating level deposition and etching of a second conductive level producing the gate of the transistor.
- the present invention also relates to a method of manufacturing thin-film transistors direct stages with three levels of masks which can be used in a liquid crystal screen, the steps of which are as follows:
- This latter process can be followed by a step of etching the bilayer semiconductor level - insulating level using the etched conductive level as mask level, and a step of oxidation, nitriding or passivation of the etched sides of the level. semiconductor.
- the present invention also relates to a method for manufacturing a liquid crystal screen, the active matrix transistors of which are manufactured by such methods.
- Another object of the present invention is an electronic circuit produced on an insulating substrate by one of the mode of implementation of the method according to the invention.
- the method according to the invention makes it possible to passivate the transistors during the process, to make them insensitive to light coming from above, the bottom being able to be protected by an opaque mask ("black matrix "in English) as described in French patent application No. 91 12586 filed by the applicant.
- the method according to the invention allows the fabrication of integrated circuits on the same substrate as the active matrix thanks to the possibility that it offers of being able to connect the gates of the transistors to sources or drains of the same or other transistors, and thus be used in an "integrated drivers" technology. It is also possible to manufacture by this process different types of transistors and capacitances without adding additional levels of masks.

- Figure 1a shows an insulating substrate 10 and can be transparent, on which a layer 1 1 of a transparent conductive material or a transparent conductive bilayer - doped semiconductor is deposited and etched during a first step performing, for example , source 1 (data column), drain 2 (electrode) and any interconnection 3.
- this first level can be doped superficially if it is not already doped to allow ohmic contact source 1 - drain 2.
- This doping can be carried out, for example, by a process of the "flash phosphine" type consisting in depositing on the transparent conductor 1 1 of phosphorus in an environment of phosphorus and hydrogen plasma, the diffusion of phosphorus in the conductor 1 1 as well as in the semiconductor material 13 making the ohmic contact source 1 - drain 2 (FIG. 1 b).
- This process is described in the publication JAPAN DISPLAY'89, page 506.
- the third step illustrated in FIG. 1 consists in depositing and etching a semiconductor material 13 or a semiconductor multilayer so as to completely cover the first level 1 1, overflowing preferably on either side of the mesas formed by these layers.
- the fourth step of this first example of implementation of the method according to the present invention consists in depositing and then etching a layer 14 of a dielectric material so that a contact 5 can be established during the fifth step of the process.
- FIG. 1 d represents a part of an active matrix screen comprising at least part of the direct stage transistors produced according to the method described above. The description of this figure is made from a pixel but can obviously be extended to all of these pixels arranged in a matrix.
- the layer of transparent conductive material 11 is deposited on the insulating substrate 10, this transparent conductive material possibly being surface doped before or after its etching so as to form the data columns 25 corresponding to the source 1 of transistor 20, and electrodes 26 of pixels.
- these electrodes 26 have an approximately square shape and are provided with a tab 2 corresponding to the drain 2 of the transistor 20.
- the semiconductor 13 is deposited then etched and constitutes a mesa joining the source 1 (column 25 ) at drain 2 (pixel electrode 26).
- the dielectric 14 is then deposited over the entire surface in order to produce the gate insulator and is etched in order to establish the contacts 3 (not shown in the figure).
- the conductive material 15 is deposited and then etched making the lines 28 and its contacts 3.
- FIG. 1e represents the electrical diagram in principle of an inverter 40.
- This comprises two transistors 41 and 42 connected in series between two polarity + V (47) and -V (46).
- a high signal IN arrives at 44 on the gate of transistor 42, that is turned on.
- the gate of transistor 41 being connected (43) to the polarity line + V, the latter is on and a low signal OUT comes out at 45.
- transistor 42 is returned not passing and it is a high signal which leaves at 45 from the inverter 40.
- FIG. 1 f This inverter 40 produced according to the first embodiment of the method according to the invention is shown in FIG. 1 f.
- the conductive material 1 1, preferably transparent and surface-treated, is deposited and etched so as to form the sources and drains of the transistors 41 and 42, as well as the connection line 45.
- the semiconductor 13 is deposited and etched so as to form mesas 29 joining sources and drains.
- the insulator 14 is then deposited and etched so as to create an opening 5 at the level of the external source and drain of the transistors 41 and 42 respectively.
- the conductor 15 is deposited and etched making the contacts of gates 44 and 43, as well as the contacts source - line 47 (+ V) and drain - line 46 (-V).
- This first embodiment of the method according to the invention reveals a constraint which is that the deposits of the layer 13 of the fine semiconductor material 13 and of the dielectric material 14 are not produced during the same vacuum cycle. This can generate a bad interface between these two levels during the etching of the layer 13 of the semiconductor, which can have the consequence of degrading the electrical properties of the transistor. This drawback is avoided in the following embodiments of the method.
- FIGS. 2a to 2d A second embodiment of the method according to the invention is illustrated by FIGS. 2a to 2d.
- the first two steps are identical to those of the previous mode and correspond to a first level of mask.
- the layer 13 of the semiconductor material and a layer 16 of a dielectric material are deposited and etched simultaneously, as shown in FIG. 2b.
- the fact that the dielectric 16 and the semiconductor 13 are deposited and etched during the same vacuum cycle makes it possible to achieve a good interface between the two layers.
- the fourth step consists in depositing a second dielectric layer 14 over the entire surface and in etching it so that contact can be established between the conductive layer 15 (deposited during the fifth and last step) corresponding to the grid 22 and the connection 3 and / or in such a way that an opening 6 in the dielectric layer 14 brings the conductive level 15 and the insulating level 16 into contact, on the island consisting of the sources and drains, of the semiconductor 13 and of the insulator 16, the dielectric layer 14 covering only the edges of the etched block formed by the layers 11, 13 and 16. In this case, four masking levels are used.
- this latter mode allows, without adding additional steps, to solve the problem of bad interface mentioned above, to produce different types of transistors and capacitors whose characteristics can be selected by an appropriate choice of dielectrics 14 and 16 and which correspond to Figures 2c and 2d.
- a first type of transistor 23 is illustrated in FIG. 2c and uses the two dielectrics 14 and 16 as the gate dielectric. This makes such a transistor not very sensitive to "gate stress": parasitic phenomenon due to amorphous silicon, when the gate is controlled with high voltages, the electrical characteristics of the transistor deteriorate over time.
- the second type of transistor 24 is illustrated in FIG. 2d and uses only the dielectric 16 as the gate dielectric. This makes it possible to adapt the characteristics of the transistor to lower voltages, this type of transistor being able to be used on the peripheral control electronics. Indeed, the gate insulator being thinner, the current flowing through the transistor is higher.
- the transistors of the active matrix can be of the first type.
- the control electronics can use both types of transistors, which makes it possible to adapt it to low-voltage external signals compatible with current technology.
- the choice of the two insulators 16 and 14 makes it possible to use either only transistors of the first type, or only transistors of the second type, or transistors of the two types mixed.
- FIG. 2e represents a part of an active matrix screen comprising at least partly transistors 23 and produced according to the second embodiment of the method according to the invention of FIGS. 2a, 2b and 2c.
- the description of this figure is made from a pixel, but it is obvious that it extends to all the other pixels arranged in a matrix fashion.
- the layer of transparent conductive material 1 1 is deposited on the insulating substrate 10, this transparent conductive material being able to be doped surface before or after its etching so as to form the columns of data
- connection 3 can be for example the source or the drain of a transistor of the integrated control electronics, and completely covers the mesa 27 constituted by the semiconductor 13 and the first insulator 16.
- Such a transistor includes the two insulators 14 and 16 of FIG. 2c as a gate dielectric.
- FIG. 2f represents in the same way a part of an active matrix produced according to the second embodiment of the method of FIGS. 2a, 2b and 2d, active matrix of which all or part of the transistors comprises the first level of insulator 16 as a gate dielectric (transistor 24 in FIG. 2d).
- Transistor 24 in FIG. 2d we find the data columns 25 and the electrodes 26 of any shape but having a tab which constitutes the drain 2 of the transistor 24.
- FIG. 2g represents the inverter 40 of FIG. 1e produced by the second embodiment of the method according to the invention comprising two transistors 41 and 42 of the first type. The explanation given during the description of FIG.
- the Figure 2h shows the inverter 40 of Figures 1 e and 2g manufactured by the second embodiment of the method according to the invention comprising two transistors 41 and 42 of the second type.
- the difference compared to the previous figure is the opening 6 etched through the second level of insulation 14.
- the dielectric 14 is used as passivation of the transistors, of the pixel electrode, as a gate insulator, and as an interconnection dielectric (insulation of two superposed conductive layers).
- a third embodiment of the method according to the invention comprises the same first and second steps of the preceding modes as shown in FIG. 3a.
- the third step of this embodiment of the method according to the invention consists in depositing simultaneously a layer 13 of a semiconductor material and a layer 16 of a dielectric material. These first two steps correspond to two levels of masks.
- the third step consists in passivating the zones 131 and 132 not protected by the dielectric on the sides of the semiconductor.
- This passivation can be carried out by an oxidation (plasma O, O2.03, N2O), or a nitriding (plasma N, NH3), or a passivation (deposition of planarizing dielectric followed by an aanisotropic etching of this same dielectric).
- plasma O, O2.03, N2O oxidation
- a nitriding plasma N, NH3
- a passivation deposition of planarizing dielectric followed by an aanisotropic etching of this same dielectric.
- a layer 15 of a conductive material is deposited and then etched, constituting a third level of mask (FIG. 3c).
- the gate contact 22 - connection 3 is this time provided by the direct contact between the conductor level 15 and the connection 3.
- This third mode can be completed by a fifth step consisting in etching the layers of dielectric 16 and of the semiconductor material 13 using the conductor 15 as the mask level. Indeed, zones of the semiconductor mesa 13 - insulator 16 can extend on either side of the conductive layer 15 etched (grid) in the plane perpendicular to the plane of the figure, and must be removed according to the desired technology .
- a sixth step can then consist of passivating by oxidation or nitriding or by depositing a dielectric on the sides of the semiconductor not protected by the dielectric 16.
- a semiconductor mesa 13 - insulator 16 can be left on the connection 3 in order to isolate it from the conductive level 15.
- FIG. 3d represents a part of an active matrix produced according to this third embodiment of the method according to the invention described from FIGS. 3a to 3c.
- An electrode 26 of any shape has a tab 2 forming the drain of the transistor 30.
- a column 25 provided with a tongue opposite the drain 2 and which forms the source 1 of the transistor 30 .
- the semiconductor 13 and the dielectric 16 are deposited and etched so as to form the mesas 31 and 32, the mesa 31 forming the semiconductor level of the transistor 30 and the mesa 32 an isolation level. between column 25 and grid 28 deposited and etched during the fourth step of the process.
- FIG. 3e represents the inverter 40 of FIG. 1 e manufactured according to the third embodiment of the method according to the invention.
- the transistors 41 and 42 the first conductive level constituting the sources and drains of these transistors as well as the connection 45, the mesas 29 whose flanks were passive consisting of a first semiconductor level 13 and a first level insulator 16, and finally, the metal level 15 forming the gates 43 and 44 of the transistors 41 and 42 as well as the connections 46 and 47.
- the dielectric 16 deposited in the same vacuum cycle as the semiconductor level 13 allows a good interface between these two levels.
- the method according to the invention can be implemented on a glass substrate or on an already preprocessed substrate (ground plane, black matrix and insulating level) which allows, for example, to add a storage capacity and to protect the transistor against the light from the back of the screen.
- a particularly advantageous improvement of the invention consists in depositing and etching a first opaque level directly on the substrate at the start of the process, so that the latter masks the semiconductor channel between the source and the drain of each transistor. direct floor.
- This first opaque level can be deposited and etched so as to mask in the light the places where the sources, drains and semiconductors constituting the transistors controlling the pixel electrodes are going to be deposited, or leave exposed only the areas comprising the electrodes , thereby improving the contrast of the screen while blocking the photoconductivity of the semiconductor materials used.
- This level can be made of reflective metal and, if it is conductive, this first etching must be followed by the deposition over the entire surface of the substrate of an insulating level.
- Such a first opaque level is called "black matrix” and is described in detail in French patent application No. 91 12586 filed by the applicant.
- Another improvement of the present invention can be to add directly to the substrate at the start of the process, a capacity storage on which the active matrix will be produced.
- a capacity storage on which the active matrix will be produced is described in detail in French patent application No. 91 12585 filed by the applicant.
- This storage capacity can be achieved by a transparent conductive layer deposited directly on the entire substrate and covered by a transparent insulating layer. Thus, no new mask level has been added. It can also be opaque and etched so as to only mask the semiconductor areas or to let light pass only over the areas comprising the electrodes, thus playing the role of "black matrix".
