It should be noted that it is difficult to achieve less than 1 μm with the current equipment process capability. Therefore, the width of the gap is greater than or equal to 1 μm; there is no upper limit for the width of the gap, but if the width is too large, the size of the first thin film transistor T1 will be too large. The design requirements can be judged by oneself, therefore, the above data are only for illustration and do not constitute a limitation to this disclosure; after the process is improved, the width of the gap can also be other values.
The width of the guide groove 35 in the second direction Y is greater than or equal to 1 micron and less than or equal to 5 microns.

Therefore, the width of the guide groove 35 is greater than or equal to 1 μm; there is no upper limit for the width of the guide groove 35, but if the width is too large, the first thin film transistor T1 will be damaged. If the size is too large, it needs to be judged according to the design requirements. Therefore, the above data is only for illustration and does not constitute a limitation of this disclosure; after the process is improved, the width of the guide groove 35 can also be other values.
The guide groove 35 can provide a guide for the first channel part 54 formed subsequently, so that the length of the first channel part 54 can be grown longer to meet product requirements.
Step S30, forming inducing particles 41 on the side of the insulating layer group 3 away from the base substrate 1.
In this exemplary embodiment, an inducing layer is formed on a side of the second buffer layer 33 away from the base substrate 1, and the material of the inducing layer may be indium tin oxide (ITO). 9 and 10, the inducing layer is patterned to form the induction portion 4, the induction portion 4 is formed at one end of the guide groove 35 close to the first via hole 34, that is, the first via hole 34 and the induction portion 4 are formed at the same end of the guide groove 35. The thickness of the inducing layer is greater than or equal to 150 nm and less than or equal to 500 nm. Certainly, in other exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, the material of the inducing layer may also be indium metal, indium zinc oxide (IZO) and the like. Referring to 11, the inducing portion 4 is formed at one end of the guide groove 35 connected to the first via hole 34.
Then, reduction treatment is performed on the inducing part 4 to form the inducing particles 41, specifically, as shown in reference to 12, the inducing part 4 is subjected to reduction treatment by H plasma to form the inducing particles 41. The inductive particles 41 may be indium metal particles. Utilizing the low eutectic point of In (indium) and Si (silicon), Si can be continuously precipitated from the saturated eutectic and crystallized to form planar silicon nanowires, which is easy to implement in terms of technology and low in cost. The diameter of the inducing particle 41 is greater than or equal to 100 nanometers and less than or equal to 300 nanometers. Of course, in other exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, the inducing particles 41 may also be other metal particles, such as Ni, Co, Al, etc.
Step S40, forming a doped amorphous silicon layer on the side of the inducing particles 41 away from the base substrate 1 and the side of the insulating layer group 3 away from the base substrate 1, and the doped amorphous silicon layer The crystalline silicon layer is formed in the first via hole 34 to form a first conductor part 51, the first conductor part 51 is connected to the connecting layer 2a, and the doped amorphous silicon layer is patterned to form a raw material part 53, the raw material part 53 is connected to the first conductor part 51.
In this exemplary embodiment, as shown in reference 13, a doped amorphous silicon layer is formed on the side of the inducing particles 41 away from the base substrate 1 and the side of the second buffer layer 33 away from the base substrate 1, and the doped amorphous silicon layer The silicon layer may be N-type doped amorphous silicon. N-type doped amorphous silicon is a conductor, and the N-type doped amorphous silicon formed in the first via hole 34 forms a first conductor part 51, and the first conductor part 51 is connected to the third conductor part 22, and the first conductor part 51 can be well connected to the third conductor part 22. Using indium metal particles as the inductive particles 41, In (indium) residues are inevitable, In (indium) can be used as doping of P-type doped amorphous silicon, and In (indium) residues will cause excessive leakage current of thin film transistors, cannot be turned off; while the N-type doping in the N-type doped amorphous silicon can neutralize the In (indium) residue, so the influence of the In (indium) residue on the formed first channel part 54 can be avoided. However, if the amorphous silicon layer is used as the raw material layer, In (indium) residues will be generated, resulting in excessive leakage current of the film transistor, which cannot be turned off. Of course, in other example embodiments of this disclosure, the doped amorphous silicon layer may also be P-type doped amorphous silicon.
Please continue to refer to 13 and shown in
In step S50, the inducing particles 41 induce the raw material part 53 to form a first channel part 54, and the first channel part 54 is connected to the first conductor part 51.
In this exemplary embodiment, the raw material part 53 located in the guide groove 35 can be induced by the In inducing particles 41 to form the first channel part 54. Specifically, as shown in 16, the raw material part 53 is annealed to form a metal For the alloy droplet 42, the annealing temperature is about 390 degrees; as shown in 17, when the concentration of Si in the metal alloy droplet 42 is oversaturated, crystal nuclei 43 are precipitated; as shown in 18, driven by the Gibbs free energy, the metal alloy The droplet of liquid 42 pulls the crystal nucleus 43 to grow into a silicon nanowire, that is, generates a first channel part 54, the first channel part 54 is a polycrystalline silicon nanowire, and the first channel part also includes N-type doping and inducing particles 41 residues (eg, indium residues).
It should be noted that, as shown in FIG. The side wall of the groove extending along the first direction X, therefore, two first channel parts 54 are formed in one guide groove 35, the width of the first channel part 54 is greater than or equal to 30 nm and less than or equal to 100 nm, the first groove The length of the channel part 54 is substantially equal to the length of the guide groove 35; the height of the first channel part 54 is also substantially equal to the depth of the guide groove 35, that is, the height of the first channel part 54 is greater than or equal to 100 nanometers and less than or equal to 120 nanometers. Since the guide groove 35 protrudes from the first via hole 34, both ends of the formed first channel part 54 protrude from the first conductor part 51. Of course, as shown in
After the inducing particle 41 induces the raw material part 53 to form the first channel part 54, the inducing particle 41 can be etched away, and the inducing particle 41 can also be retained; because the inducing particle 41 induces the first channel part 54 from the first conductor part 51 One side grows toward the second conductor part 52 side, therefore, the remaining inducing particles 41 are located between the second conductor part 52 and the first channel part 54. Of course, when the inducing particles 41 induce the first channel part 54 to grow from the second conductor part 52 side to the first conductor part 51 side, the remaining inducing particles 41 are located between the first conductor part 51 and the first channel part. Between section 54.
It should be noted that it is difficult to achieve the current process capability below 30 nm, therefore, the width of the first channel part 54 is greater than or equal to 30 nm; when the width of the first channel part 54 is greater than 100 nm, the drain of the first thin film transistor T1 The current will be very large, affecting the performance of the first thin film transistor T1. Therefore, the width of the first channel part 54 is less than or equal to 100 nm; after the process is improved, the width of the first channel part 54 can also be other values.
In addition, the first conductor part 51 can not only be provided in the first via hole 34, but can also extend to the side of the second buffer layer 33 away from the substrate, so that the length of the guide groove can be set shorter, of course The length of the formed first channel part is also short.
So far, the preparation of the first active layer is completed.
