DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Based on the described embodiments herein, those skilled in the art can obtain other embodiment(s), without any inventive work, which should be within the scope of the disclosure.

The phrases “connect”, “connected”, etc., are not intended to define a physical connection or mechanical connection, but may include an electrical connection, directly or indirectly.

In a current OLED display device, a fingerprint recognition sensor can include a photosensitive element and a thin film transistor which are adjacently arranged. The arrangement of the thin film transistor needs to occupy a certain space, so that the arrangement space of the photosensitive element is compressed. The effective photosensitive area of the fingerprint recognition sensor comes from the photosensitive element, and therefore, the compressed arrangement space of the photosensitive element will lead to a small effective photosensitive area of the fingerprint recognition sensor, and further, lead to a weak photocurrent signal generated by the fingerprint recognition sensor, which results in low accuracy of fingerprint recognition.

FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a fingerprint recognition sensor. As illustrated by FIG. 1, the fingerprint recognition sensor includes a thin film transistor 1 and a photosensitive element 2; the thin film transistor 1 and the photosensitive element 2 can be disposed at the same side of the base substrate 3, and can be disposed adjacent to each other.

For example, as illustrated by FIG. 1, the thin film transistor 1 can include a gate electrode 101 formed on the base substrate 3, a gate insulating layer 102 covering the gate electrode 101, an active layer 103 formed on the gate insulating layer 102, a source electrode 104 and a drain electrode 105 respectively connected with the active layer 103, and a first passivation layer 106 covering all of the above structures. The photosensitive element 2 can include a first electrode 201 formed on the first passivation layer 106, a photosensitive layer 202 formed on the first electrode 201, a second electrode 203 formed on the photosensitive layer 202, a protective layer 204 covering all of the above structures, a resin layer 205 covering the protective layer 204, a second passivation layer 206 covering the resin layer 205, an overlapping electrode 207 (usually referred to as Top Metal) formed on the second passivation layer 206, and a buffer layer 208 covering the second passivation layer 206 and the overlapping layer 207.

The first electrode 201 is connected with the source electrode 104 of the thin film transistor 1 through a via hole in the first passivation layer 106. The material of the second electrode 203 is usually ITO (Indium Tin Oxide). The overlapping electrode 207 is connected with the second electrode 203 through the resin layer 205 and a via hole in the resin layer 205. The overlapping electrode 207 is usually made of a conductive metal material.

In practical application, the inventor(s) of the present application has found that the fingerprint recognition sensor shown in FIG. 1 has at least the following problems.

Problem 1: The thin film transistor 1 and the photosensitive element 2 are arranged on the same side of the base substrate 3, and they are adjacent to each other, so that the space of the photosensitive element 2 will be compressed due to the arrangement of the thin film transistor 1, thereby reducing the effective photosensitive area of the photosensitive element 2. For a display device designed with high-density fingerprint recognition sensors, the manner in which the thin film transistor 1 and the photosensitive element 2 are arranged adjacent to each other has a greater influence on the effective photosensitive area of the photosensitive element 2. For example, in the case where the number of fingerprint recognition sensors per inch in the display device is increased from 400 to 500, the effective photosensitive area of the photosensitive element 2 will be sharply reduced by about 60%, and the magnitude of the photocurrent signal will also be sharply reduced by about 60%, which will seriously affect the detection of photocurrent signals.

Problem 2: The overlapping electrode 207 on the top of the photosensitive element 2 is usually made of a conductive metal material, but the light transmittance of the metal material is low, so that the part of the photosensitive element blocked by the overlapping electrode 207 cannot effectively sense light, thus further reducing the effective photosensitive area of the fingerprint recognition sensor. For example, the overlapping electrode 207 has a great influence on the effective photosensitive area of the fingerprint recognition sensor, especially for a display device designed with high-density fingerprint recognition sensors. For example, in the case where the display device includes 500 fingerprint recognition sensors per inch, a proportion between the area of a part of the overlapping electrode blocking the photosensitive element 2 and the effective photosensitive area of the fingerprint recognition sensor is about 17%. And, in the case where the density of fingerprint recognition sensor is higher, this proportion will be higher, and accordingly, the overlapping electrode 207 has a greater influence on the effective photosensitive area of the fingerprint recognition sensor.

FIG. 2 is an I-V (current-voltage) characteristic curve of the photosensitive element 2. As illustrated by FIG. 2, the photosensitive element 2 can normally work under a negative bias voltage of −4V (volt), and in the case where the negative bias voltage of −4V is input to the photosensitive element 2, the photocurrent output by the photosensitive element 2 is as illustrated by FIG. 2. The smaller the effective photosensitive area of the fingerprint recognition sensor, the smaller the photocurrent of the photosensitive element 2, and the lower the accuracy of fingerprint recognition.

Problem 3: if the second electrode 203 and the overlapping electrode 207 are made of different materials, the dark current of the photosensitive element 2 will caused to be large, and the sensitivity of the photosensitive element 2 will caused to be low. For example, because the second electrode 203 and the overlapping electrode 207 are made of different materials, the material matching degree between the second electrode 203 and the overlapping electrode 207 is low and the noise is great. The dark current output by the photosensitive element 2 is as illustrated by FIG. 2. The greater the dark current of the photosensitive element 2, the lower the sensitivity of the photosensitive element 2, and the lower the accuracy of fingerprint recognition.

Problem 4: The active layer 103 of the thin film transistor 1 is easily made conductive in the manufacturing process of the photosensitive element 2, thus reducing the magnitude of the photocurrent signal generated by the photosensitive element 2. For example, because the thin film transistor 1 and the photosensitive element 2 are arranged at the same side of the base substrate 3, the active layer 103 of the thin film transistor 1 is easily interfered by hydrogen ions and is made conductive to a certain extent, that is, the thin film transistor 1 can still conduct many charges in the off state. However, the photosensitive layer 202 of the photosensitive element 2 needs to be deposited and formed in an environment which is rich in hydrogen ions. Therefore, when the photosensitive layer 202 is deposited, the active layer 103 is easily made conductive in the hydrogen ion environment. Therefore, in the case where the thin film transistor 1 is turned off, some photo-generated charges stored in the photosensitive element 2 will be lost, thus reducing the magnitude of the photocurrent signal.

FIG. 3 shows an I-V characteristic curve of the thin film transistor 1. Referring to FIG. 3, in the case where the gate voltage is less than −10V, the thin film transistor 1 is in the off state, but the drain current thereof has reached the order of 10⁻¹¹ A, while in the case where a normal thin film transistor 1 is in the off state, the drain current thereof should be of the order of 10⁻¹⁵ A. Therefore, the active layer 103 of the thin film transistor 1 corresponding to FIG. 3 has been conductive to a certain extent. Therefore, in the case where the thin film transistor 1 is turned off, some photo-generated charges generated by the photosensitive element 2 will still be released through the channel of the active layer, thus reducing the magnitude of the photocurrent signal.

Problem 5: There are many film layers to be formed after the protective layer 204 is formed, and light will be lost in each film layer, so that the light transmittance is reduced. Moreover, more film layer treatment processes, such as deposition process and photolithography process, etc., are needed, so that the manufacturing process of the fingerprint recognition sensor is cumbersome.

In this regard, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a fingerprint recognition sensor, a manufacturing method thereof, and a display device. The fingerprint recognition sensor includes: a base substrate; a thin film transistor on a side of the base substrate; and a photosensitive element on a side of the base substrate away from the thin film transistor. The thin film transistor, the base substrate and the photosensitive element are sequentially stacked along a thickness direction perpendicular to the base substrate, the base substrate includes a conductive structure penetrating through the base substrate in the thickness direction perpendicular to the base substrate, and the photosensitive element is connected with the thin film transistor through the conductive structure. Therefore, by forming the photosensitive element and the thin film transistor on opposite sides of the base substrate and connecting the photosensitive element and the thin film transistor through the conductive structure in the base substrate, the fingerprint recognition sensor can prevent the space of the photosensitive element from being compressed, so that the effective photosensitive area of the photosensitive element can be increased, that is, the effective photosensitive area of the fingerprint recognition sensor can be increased, thereby enhancing the photocurrent signal generated by the fingerprint recognition sensor and further improving the accuracy of fingerprint recognition.

Hereinafter, the fingerprint recognition sensor, the manufacturing method thereof, and the display device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a fingerprint recognition sensor. FIG. 4 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of a fingerprint recognition sensor according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As illustrated by FIG. 4, the fingerprint recognition sensor includes a base substrate 10, a thin film transistor (TFT) 20 and a photosensitive element 30. The base substrate 10, the thin film transistor 20 and the photosensitive element 30 are stacked in a direction (i.e., the thickness direction) perpendicular to the base substrate 10, that is, the thin film transistor 20 is located on a side of the base substrate 10, and the photosensitive element 30 is located on a side of the base substrate 10 away from the thin film transistor 20. The base substrate 10 can include a conductive structure 11 penetrating through the base substrate 10 in the thickness direction of the base substrate 10, and the photosensitive element 30 can be connected with the thin film transistor 20 through the conductive structure 11 in the base substrate 10. The thin film transistor 20 can be configured to release photo-generated charges generated by the photosensitive element 30.

With regard to the above-mentioned problem 1, in the fingerprint recognition sensor provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the thin film transistor 20, the base substrate 10, and the photosensitive element 30 can be stacked in the thickness direction perpendicular to the base substrate 10, that is, the thin film transistor 20 and the photosensitive element 30 can be respectively arranged on opposite surfaces of the base substrate 10, and they can be electrically connected through the conductive structure 11 in the base substrate 10 to realize the control of the photosensitive element 30. Therefore, there is no need to compress the arrangement space of the photosensitive element 30 when arranging the thin film transistor 20, so that the effective photosensitive area of the photosensitive element 30 can be increased, that is, the effective photosensitive area of the fingerprint recognition sensor can be increased, thereby enhancing the photocurrent signal generated by the fingerprint recognition sensor and further improving the accuracy of fingerprint recognition.

For example, as illustrated by FIG. 4, the conductive structure 11 in the base substrate 10 can include a first conductive sub-structure 111 and a second conductive sub-structure 112 which are separated, and both the first conductive sub-structure 111 and the second conductive sub-structure 112 penetrate through the base substrate 10 in the thickness direction perpendicular to the base substrate 10. For example, the material of the conductive structure 11 can be a conductive material such as copper metal, etc., without being specifically limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

Accordingly, the photosensitive element 30 includes a first electrode 31 formed on a first surface S1 of the base substrate 10, a photosensitive layer 32 formed on the first electrode 31, a second electrode 33 formed on the photosensitive layer 32, a protective layer 34, and a first overlapping electrode 35. The first electrode 31 is connected with the first conductive sub-structure 111. The protective layer 34 covers the first electrode 31, the photosensitive layer 32, the second electrode 33 and the first surface S1 of the base substrate 10. The first overlapping electrode 35 is located on a side of the protective layer 34 away from the base substrate 10. The first overlapping electrode 35 can be connected with the second electrode 33 through a first via hole 341 in the protective layer 34, and the first overlapping electrode 35 can be connected with the second conductive sub-structure 112 through a second via hole 342 in the protective layer 34.

For example, the photosensitive element 30 can be a PIN photodiode, and correspondingly, the photosensitive layer 32 can specifically include an N-type semiconductor layer, an intrinsic semiconductor layer and a P-type semiconductor layer, which are stacked in the thickness direction of the base substrate 10, and the N-type semiconductor layer is disposed close to the first electrode 31.

When the fingerprint recognition sensor provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure works, a negative bias voltage required for working can be applied to the photosensitive layer 32 through the second electrode 33, and then, when photons with sufficient energy are incident on the photosensitive layer 32, the photosensitive layer 32 can be excited to generate photo-generated charges, thereby forming a photocurrent signal required for fingerprint recognition.

The first electrode 31 can be connected with the source electrode or the drain electrode of the thin film transistor 20 through the first conductive structure 111. For convenience of description, the following description is presented by taking that the first electrode 31 is connected with the source electrode of the thin film transistor 20 through the first conductive structure 111 as an example. It can be understood that the positions of the source electrode and the drain electrode of the thin film transistor 20 can be interchanged. After the photocurrent signal is formed by the photo-sensitive layer 32, the display device can form a fingerprint image according to the photo-current signal, and then perform fingerprint recognition. After that, the first electrode 31 connected with the photo-sensitive layer 32 can release photo-generated charges through the thin film transistor 20. When the photosensitive layer 32 works, the gate electrode of the thin film transistor 20 can be turned off, and then the photo-generated charges generated by the photosensitive layer 32 can be introduced into the active layer of the thin film transistor 20 through the first electrode 31, the first conductive sub-structure 111 and the source electrode of the thin film transistor 20 in turn, and accumulated in the active layer. When the gate electrode of the thin film transistor 20 is turned on, the photo-generated charges can flow from the channel of the active layer to the drain electrode of the thin film transistor 20, and then be conducted away.

In addition, as for the connection mode between the first overlapping electrode 35 and the second conductive sub-structure 112, in one implementation, referring to FIG. 4, the first overlapping electrode 35 can be connected with the second conductive sub-structure 112 directly through the second via hole 342 in the protective layer 34. In another implementation, referring to FIG. 5, the fingerprint recognition sensor can further include a second overlapping electrode 01, the second overlapping electrode 01 can be arranged on the same layer as the first electrode 31 of the photosensitive element 30, the thickness of the second overlapping electrode 01 can be the same as that of the first electrode 31, and the second overlapping electrode 01 can be connected with the first overlapping electrode 35 and the second conductive structure 112, respectively. As illustrated by FIG. 4, the bottom of the second via hole 342 in the protective layer 34 is equivalent to the second overlapping electrode 01, and accordingly, the first overlapping electrode 35 can be connected with the second conductive electronic structure 112 through the second via hole 342 in the protective layer 34 and the second overlapping electrode 01. The embodiment of the present disclosure does not specifically limit the connection mode between the first overlapping electrode 35 and the second conductive sub-structure 112.

In some examples, referring to FIG. 4, the area of the second electrode 33 can be smaller than the area of the photosensitive layer 32, so that the leakage current at the edge of the photosensitive element 30 can be reduced, and thus the sensitivity of the photosensitive element 30 can be improved.

In some examples, referring to FIG. 4, the fingerprint recognition sensor can further include a third electrode 40, the third electrode 40 is formed on a second surface S2 of the base substrate 10 opposite to the first surface S1 and is connected with the second conductive sub-structure 112. The third electrode 40 can be configured to input an operating voltage, i.e., a negative bias voltage, to the photosensitive element 30 through the second conductive structure 112 and the first overlapping electrode 35. That is, the operating voltage required by the photosensitive element 30 can be input to the third electrode 40, and then the third electrode 40 can input the operating voltage to the photosensitive layer 32 through the second conductive sub-structure 112 in the base substrate 10, the first overlapping electrode 35 and the second electrode 33 in turn.

In some examples, the third electrode 40 can be arranged on the same layer as the gate electrode of the thin film transistor 20, so that the third electrode 40 and the gate electrode of the thin film transistor 20 can be formed at the same time by one patterning process, thus simplifying the manufacturing process of the fingerprint recognition sensor.

With regard to the above-mentioned problem 2, in the fingerprint recognition sensor provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the material of the first overlapping electrode 35 can be a transparent electrode material, such as ITO, etc., and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. That is, the first overlapping electrode 35 can be made of a transparent electrode material, so that the part of the photosensitive element shielded by the first overlapping electrode 35 can effectively sense light, thereby increasing the effective photosensitive area of the fingerprint recognition sensor. FIG. 6 shows an I-V (current-voltage) characteristic curve of a photosensitive element 30 in which the first overlapping electrode 35 and the second electrode 33 are made of transparent ITO. Comparing FIG. 6 with FIG. 2, in contrast to the photosensitive element in which the overlapping electrode is made of metal, the photocurrent of the photosensitive element 30 in which the first overlapping electrode 35 is made of transparent ITO as illustrated by FIG. 6 can be increased by about 17%.

With regard to the above-mentioned problem 3, in the fingerprint recognition sensor provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the material of the first overlapping electrode 35 and the material of the second electrode 33 can be the same material, and for example, both can be ITO material. Because the matching degree between the same materials is high, the noise is low, and therefore, the dark current of the photosensitive element 30 can be reduced and the sensitivity of the photosensitive element 30 can be improved. Comparing FIG. 6 with FIG. 2, in contrast to the photosensitive element with lap joint of different materials, the dark current of the photosensitive element 30 with lap joint of the same material as illustrated by FIG. 6 can be reduced by about 60%.

In some examples, as illustrated by FIG. 4, the thin film transistor 20 includes a gate electrode 21, a gate insulating layer 22 covering the gate electrode 21, an active layer 23 formed on the gate insulating layer 22, a source electrode 24 and a drain electrode 25 disposed on the same layer, and a passivation layer 26, which are formed on the second surface S2 of the base substrate 10 opposite to the first surface S1. The source electrode 24 and the drain electrode 25 are respectively connected with the active layer 23. The source electrode 24 or the drain electrode 25 is connected with the first conductive sub-structure 111 in the base substrate 10 through the third via hole 221 in the gate insulating layer 22. The passivation layer 26 covers the source electrode 24, the drain electrode 25, the active layer 23 and the gate insulating layer 22. It should be noted that the positions of the source electrode 24 and the drain electrode 25 of the thin film transistor 20 can be interchanged, and the position of the source electrode and the position of the drain electrode shown in each figure do not constitute a limitation to the present disclosure.

For example, as illustrated by FIG. 4, an orthographic projection of the photosensitive layer 32 on the base substrate 10 overlaps with an orthographic projection of the active layer 23 on the base substrate 10. For another example, the orthographic projection of the photosensitive layer 32 on the base substrate 10 covers the orthographic projection of the active layer 23 on the base substrate 10.

With regard to the above-mentioned problem 4, in the fingerprint recognition sensor provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the thin film transistor 20 and the photosensitive element 30 can be respectively arranged on opposite surfaces of the base substrate 10, instead of being on the same side of the base substrate 10; so, the base substrate 10 can play a natural protection role when the photosensitive layer 32 of the photosensitive element 30 is deposited and formed in a hydrogen ion environment, thereby preventing the active layer 23 of the thin film transistor 20 from being made conductive by hydrogen ions. With regard to the above-mentioned problem 5, in the fingerprint recognition sensor provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the resin layer, the second passivation layer and the buffer layer are reduced, so that three film layer treatment processes can be reduced, and the manufacturing process of the fingerprint recognition sensor can be simplified. In addition, the light transmittance can be improved while reducing three film layers, so that more light can be received by the photosensitive element 30, and the signal magnitude of the photocurrent signal is improved.

The fingerprint recognition sensor provided by the embodiment of the invention can include a base substrate, a thin film transistor and a photosensitive element, and the thin film transistor, the base substrate and the photosensitive element are stacked in the thickness direction perpendicular to the base substrate. The base substrate includes a conductive structure penetrating through the base substrate in the thickness direction, and the photosensitive element can be connected with the thin film transistor through the conductive structure in the base substrate. In the embodiment of the invention, the thin film transistor, the base substrate and the photosensitive element are stacked in the thickness direction perpendicular to the base substrate, that is, the thin film transistor and the photosensitive element can be respectively arranged on opposite surfaces of the base substrate, and they can be electrically connected through the conductive structure in the base substrate to realize the control of the photosensitive element. Therefore, when the thin film transistor is arranged, the arrangement space of the photosensitive element does not need to be compressed, so that the effective photosensitive area of the photosensitive element can be increased, thereby enhancing the photocurrent signal generated by the fingerprint recognition sensor and improving the accuracy of fingerprint recognition.

FIG. 7 shows a flowchart of a manufacturing method of a fingerprint recognition sensor according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The manufacturing method can include the following steps.

Step 701: providing a base substrate, the base substrate includes a conductive structure penetrating the base substrate in a direction (i.e., a thickness direction) perpendicular to the base substrate.

In the manufacturing method of the fingerprint recognition sensor provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, a through hole can be formed in the base substrate 10 in the thickness direction perpendicular to the base substrate 10 by mean of laser drilling, etc., and then a conductive material, such as copper metal, etc., can be electroformed in the through hole, so that a conductive structure 11 penetrating through the base substrate 10 in the thickness direction of the base substrate 10 can be obtained, that is, the base substrate 10 having the conductive structure 11 can be obtained, as illustrated by FIG. 8. Of course, a finished base substrate having the conductive structure 11 can also be directly provided, without being specifically limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

For example, the conductive structure 11 in the base substrate 10 can include a first conductive structure 111 and a second conductive structure 112 which are separated, and both the first conductive structure 111 and the second conductive structure 112 penetrate through the base substrate 10 in the thickness direction of the base substrate 10.

Step 702: forming a thin film transistor on a second surface of the base substrate opposite to a first surface, that is, forming a thin film transistor on a side of the base substrate.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the base substrate 10 can include a first surface S1 and a second surface S2 which are opposite to each other, the first surface S1 of the base substrate 10 can be used for manufacturing the photosensitive element 30 thereon, and the second surface S2 of the base substrate 10 can be used for manufacturing the thin film transistor 20 thereon.

For example, this step can be specifically realized through the following sub-steps (1) to (5), including:

Sub-step (1): forming a gate electrode 21 on the second surface S2 of the base substrate 10 opposite to the first surface S1.

For example, sub-step (1) can specifically include: forming a gate electrode 21 and a third electrode 40 on the second surface S2 of the base substrate 10 opposite to the first surface S1. The third electrode 40 is connected with the second conductive sub-structure 112, as illustrated by FIG. 9. The third electrode 40 can be configured to input an operating voltage to the photosensitive element through the second conductive structure 112 and a first overlapping electrode, the third electrode 40 is the input terminal of the operating voltage of the photosensitive element, and the first overlapping electrode belongs to the photosensitive element 30. The gate electrode 21 and the third electrode 40 can be formed on the same layer by one photolithography process, so that the manufacturing process of the fingerprint recognition sensor can be reduced.

For example, the material of the gate electrode 21 can include at least one selected from the group consisting of Mo, Al, Cu and Ti, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not specifically limited thereto.

Sub-step (2): forming a gate insulating layer covering the gate electrode.

Sub-step (3): forming an active layer on the gate insulating layer.

For example, a gate insulating material layer and an active material layer can be formed in sequence by deposition process, then the active material layer can be wet-etched by a first photolithography process to obtain an active layer 23, and then the gate insulating material layer can be dry-etched by a second photolithography process to obtain a third via hole 221 extending to the first conductive sub-structure 111, thereby obtaining a gate insulating layer 22, as illustrated by FIG. 10.

For example, the material of the gate electrode 21 can include at least one selected from the group consisting of SiO, SiON, and SiN, and the material of the active layer 23 can include at least one selected from the group consisting of a-Si, IGZO, IZO, IGZXO, and IGZYO, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not specifically limited thereto.

Sub-step (4): forming a source electrode and a drain electrode on the same layer, wherein the source electrode and the drain electrode are respectively connected with the active layer, and the source electrode or the drain electrode is connected with the first conductive sub-structure in the base substrate through the third via hole in the gate insulating layer.

For example, referring to FIG. 11, the source electrode 24 and the drain electrode 25 can be formed on the same layer by one photolithography process, and in practical applications, the positions of the source electrode 24 and the drain electrode 25 can be interchanged, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not specifically limited thereto. The source electrode 24 and the drain electrode 25 are respectively connected with the active layer 23, and the source electrode 24 or the drain electrode 25 is connected with the first conductive sub-structure 111 through the third via hole 221 in the gate insulating layer 22.

For example, the materials of the source electrode 24 and the drain electrode 25 can include at least one selected from the group consisting of Mo, Al, Cu, Nd and Ti, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not specifically limited thereto.

Sub-step (5): forming a passivation layer, the passivation layer covers the source electrode, the drain electrode, the active layer, and the gate insulating layer.

For example, referring to FIG. 12, a passivation layer 26 covering the source electrode 24, the drain electrode 25, the active layer 23 and the gate insulating layer 22 can be formed by a deposition process.

For example, the material of the passivation layer 26 can include at least one selected from the group consisting of SiOx, SiNx, SiON, and AlOx, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not specifically limited thereto.

Thus, the thin film transistor 20 can be formed on the second surface S2 of the base substrate 10.

Step 703: forming a photosensitive element on the first surface of the base substrate, that is, forming a photosensitive element on a side of the base substrate away from the thin film transistor, the thin film transistor, the base substrate and the photosensitive element are stacked in the thickness direction of the base substrate, and the photosensitive element is connected with the thin film transistor through the conductive structure in the base substrate.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, this step can be specifically realized through the following sub-steps (6) to (10), including:

Sub-step (6): forming a first electrode on the first surface of the base substrate, the first electrode is connected with the first conductive sub-structure.

In some examples, the first electrode 31 can be formed on the first surface S1 of the base substrate 10 by a deposition process and a photolithography process, the first electrode 31 can be connected with the first conductive sub-structure 111.

In some examples, the fingerprint recognition sensor can further include a second overlapping electrode 01, and accordingly, the first electrode 31 and the second overlapping electrode 01 can be formed on the same layer on the first surface S1 of the base substrate 10 by a deposition process and a photolithography process, as illustrated by FIG. 13. The second overlapping electrode 01 can be used to overlap the third electrode 40 and the first overlapping electrode of the photosensitive element 30.

For example, the materials of the first electrode 31 and the second overlapping electrode 01 can include at least one selected from the group consisting of Mo, Al, Cu, Nd and Ti, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not specifically limited thereto.

The thin film transistor 20 and the photosensitive element 30 can be respectively arranged on opposite surfaces of the base substrate 10, instead of being on the same side of the base substrate 10, so the base substrate 10 can play a natural protection role when the photosensitive layer of the photosensitive element 30 is deposited and formed in a hydrogen ion environment, thereby preventing the active layer of the thin film transistor 20 from being conductive by hydrogen ions.

Sub-step (7): forming a photosensitive layer on a side of the first electrode away from the base substrate.

Sub-step (8): forming a second electrode on a side of the photosensitive layer away from the first electrode.

In some examples, a photosensitive material layer and a second electrode material layer can be formed in sequence by deposition process, then the second electrode material layer can be wet-etched by a first photolithography process, and then the photosensitive material layer can be dry-etched by a second photolithography process, such as RIE (Reactive Ion Etching) process to obtain the photosensitive layer 32, and further, the second electrode material layer which has been wet-etched by the first photolithography process can be wet-etched again by a third photolithography process to obtain the second electrode 33, as illustrated by FIG. 14. Referring to FIG. 14, the area of the second electrode 33 can be smaller than that of the photosensitive layer 32, so that the leakage current at the edge of the photosensitive element 30 can be reduced and the sensitivity of the photosensitive element 30 can be improved.

For example, the material of the second electrode 33 can be ITO, etc., and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not specifically limited thereto.

Sub-step (9): forming a protective layer, the protective layer covers the first electrode, the photosensitive layer, the second electrode and the first surface of the base substrate.

In some examples, a protective layer 34 covering the first electrode 31, the photosensitive layer 32, the second electrode 33 and the first surface S1 of the base substrate 10 can be formed by a deposition process, and then, by a photolithography process, a first via hole 341 can be formed at a position of the protective layer 34 corresponding to the second electrode 33 and a second via hole 342 can be formed at a position of the protective layer 34 corresponding to the second conductive structure 112, as illustrated by FIG. 15.

For example, the material of the protective layer 34 can include at least one selected from the group consisting of SiO, SiN, and SiON, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not specifically limited thereto.

Sub-step (10): forming a first overlapping electrode, the first overlapping electrode is on a side of the protective layer away from the base substrate, the first overlapping electrode is connected with the second electrode through the first via hole in the protective layer, and the first overlapping electrode is connected with the second conductive sub-structure through the second via hole in the protective layer.

For example, the first overlapping electrode 35 can be formed on a side of the protective layer 34 away from the base substrate, as illustrated by FIG. 5. The first overlapping electrode 35 can be connected with the second electrode 33 through the first via hole 341 in the protective layer 34, and the first overlapping electrode 35 can also be connected with the second conductive sub-structure 112 through the second via hole 342 in the protective layer 34 or through the second via hole 342 in the protective layer 34 and the second overlapping electrode 01.

In some examples, the material of the first overlapping electrode 35 can be a transparent electrode material, such as ITO, so that the part of the photosensitive element shielded by the first overlapping electrode 35 can effectively sense light, thereby increasing the effective photosensitive area of the fingerprint recognition sensor.

In some examples, the material of the second electrode 33 and the material of the first overlapping electrode 35 can be the same material, and for example, both can be ITO, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not specifically limited thereto. Because the matching degree between the same materials is high, the noise is low, and therefore, the dark current of the photosensitive element 30 can be reduced, and further, the sensitivity of the photosensitive element 30 can be improved.

Thus, the photosensitive element 30 can be formed on the first surface S1 of the base substrate 10. The fingerprint recognition sensor can be obtained after the thin film transistor 20 and the photosensitive element 30 are respectively formed on the two opposite surfaces of the base substrate 10.
