Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In order to make purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of embodiments of the disclosure will be described clearly and completely below in combination with accompanying drawings of embodiments of the disclosure.

Also, the same or similar reference numbers represent the same or similar elements or the elements having the same or similar functions all the way.


Unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used here shall have the general meaning understood by those ordinary skilled in the art to which the disclosure belongs. The “first”, “second” and similar words used in the specification and claims of the disclosure do not represent any order, number or importance, and are only used to distinguish different components. The word such as “include” or “contain” or the like means that the element or object appearing before this word encompasses the elements or objects and their equivalents listed after this word, without excluding other elements or objects. The words such as “inner”, “outer”, “up”, “down” are only used to represent the relative position relationship. When the absolute position of a described object changes, the relative position relationship may also change accordingly.


During the fingerprint recognition process, in order to reduce interference of ambient light, a layer of light filter film is generally added to a light incident side of a photosensitive device to filter out the ambient light after 600 nm, thus increasing the cost of the mask. Inventors found through research that, as shown in FIG. 1 and the following table, when an I-type semiconductor layer (i.e., I layer, also called intrinsic semiconductor layer) included in a photoelectric conversion layer (PIN) of a photosensitive device is thinned (where a represents a normal thickness 9000 Å of the I layer, and b represents a thinned thickness 500 Å of the I layer), photoelectric conversion efficiency (EQE) of the I layer can be reduced and will be cut off in a long wavelength band, so there is no need to set a light filter film separately.

However, when the I layer is thinned, unabsorbed light reflected by the finger may be reflected by a lower electrode (SD2) of the photosensitive device back to the finger touch position above the photosensitive device, and may be reflected again by the finger. Multiple reflections may interfere with the performance of the fingerprint recognition.


In order to alleviate the above technical problem in related art, an embodiment of the disclosure provides a an pattern recognition substrate, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, including:

    • a base substrate 101;
    • a photosensitive device 102 located on the base substrate 101, the photosensitive device including a first electrode 1021, a photoelectric conversion layer 1022 and a second electrode 1023 that are stacked, where the photoelectric conversion layer 1022 includes an I-type semiconductor layer with a thickness enough to convert a part of fingerprint-reflected light to an electrical signal, and the first electrode 1021 includes a light-transmitting region L transmitting fingerprint-reflected light that is not converted by the photoelectric conversion layer 1022; and
    • a light-absorbing layer 103 located between the base substrate 101 and a layer where the photosensitive device 102 is located to absorb the fingerprint-reflected light that is not converted by the photoelectric conversion layer 1022.


In the above pattern recognition substrate according to an embodiment of the disclosure, the I-type semiconductor layer cannot completely absorb the fingerprint-reflected light when being thinned (that is, less than the conventional thickness). By setting the first electrode 1021 under the I-type semiconductor layer to include the light-transmitting region L, the fingerprint-reflected light that is not absorbed and converted by the I-type semiconductor layer passes through the light-transmitting region L and irradiates to the light-absorbing layer 103 and is then absorbed, thereby avoiding the fingerprint-reflected light that is not absorbed and converted by the I-type semiconductor layer from being reflected multiple times between the first electrode 1021 and the finger, and thus improving the accuracy of fingerprint recognition.


In some embodiments, the thickness of the I-type semiconductor layer according to the disclosure may be less than 9000 Å, for example, may be 500 Å. Furthermore, a set of data is provided for the pattern recognition substrate of the disclosure and two pattern recognition substrates as contrasts. In the pattern recognition substrate of the disclosure, the thickness of the I-type semiconductor layer is 500 Å, the first electrode 1021 includes the light-transmitting region L, and there is the light-absorbing layer 103 below the first electrode 1021; in the first pattern recognition substrate as a contrast, the thickness of the I-type semiconductor layer is 9000 Å (that can completely convert the fingerprint-reflected light), and the first electrode 1021 does not include the light-transmitting region L; and, in the second pattern recognition substrate as a contrast, the thickness of the I-type semiconductor layer is 500 Å, and the first electrode 1021 does not include the light-transmitting region L. Here, the fingerprint image in the first pattern recognition substrate is shown in FIG. 6, and the valley-ridge difference and contrast ratio of the fingerprint are 1.5 and 0.069 respectively. When the I-type semiconductor layer is thinned to become the structure of the first pattern recognition substrate, the fingerprint image is shown in FIG. 7. The valley-ridge difference of the fingerprint quickly decreases from 1.5 to 0.6, and the contrast ratio also decreases from 0.069 to 0.021, indicating that the valley and ridge signals of the fingerprint are interfered with after the I-type semiconductor layer is thinned. The fingerprint image in the pattern recognition substrate of the disclosure is shown in FIG. 8, the valley-ridge difference of the fingerprint is 2.5, and the contrast ratio is 0.084. The fingerprint recognition performance basically reaches the fingerprint recognition level of the first pattern recognition substrate including the I-type semiconductor layer with conventional thickness in the related art, indicating that the feasibility of the disclosure is better.


Furthermore, it is worth noting that, as shown in FIG. 5, the photoelectric conversion layer 1022 may further include a P-type semiconductor layer and an N-type semiconductor layer stacked with the I-type semiconductor layer. In some embodiments, the N-type semiconductor layer may be deposited firstly, then the I-type semiconductor layer may be deposited, and finally the P-type semiconductor layer may be deposited; or, the P-type semiconductor layer may be deposited firstly, then the I-type semiconductor layer may be deposited, and finally the N-type semiconductor layer may be deposited. When the conventional thickness of the I-type semiconductor layer is 9000 Å, it takes about 1600 s to deposit a piece of glass (370*470), greatly taking up mass production hours. Thinning the I-type semiconductor layer can greatly shorten mass production hours and improve the production efficiency.


In some embodiments, in the above-mentioned pattern recognition substrate according to an embodiment of the disclosure, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the first electrode 1021 may be a metal electrode. In this case, a plurality of openings K arranged in an array may be provided for the first electrode 1021, and then the plurality of openings K is the light-transmitting region L.


In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the openings K are approximately circular or square. Of course, the shape of the openings K may also be other regular or irregular shape during specific implementation, and is not limited here. It should be noted that, in embodiments provided by the disclosure, due to the limitation of process conditions or the influence of other factors such as measurement, the above-mentioned “approximately” may be completely equivalent, or there may be some deviations, so the “approximately” relationship between the above features belongs to the protection scope of the disclosure as long as the relationship satisfies the tolerance of error (for example, the fluctuation of 10% up and down).


When the openings K are circular, an opening ratio A of the first electrode 1021 satisfies a following relationship:

Here, d is a diameter of a circle, and q is a distance between centers o of two adjacent circles.

Here, d is a side length of a square, and q is a distance between centers o of two adjacent squares.


In some embodiments, in order to effectively reduce the reflection of the fingerprint-reflected light that is not absorbed by the I-type semiconductor layer by the first electrode 102, the aperture ratio and the arrangement of openings need to be reasonably set. Optionally, a value range of the above d is 2 μm≤d≤6 μm, a value range of the above q is 5 μm≤q≤20 μm, and a value range of the aperture ratio A is 0.1≤A≤0.6.

In addition, as can be seen from FIG. 13, when the transistor T adopts a double-gate structure, the noise is smaller than the noise of a single-gate structure, to facilitate improving stability of the transistor T.


In some embodiments, in the above-mentioned pattern recognition substrate according to an embodiment of the disclosure, as shown in FIGS. 5, 10 to 12, an orthographic projection of the transistor T on the base substrate 101 does not overlap with an orthographic projection of the photosensitive device 102 on the base substrate 101, to avoid the parasitic capacitance therebetween as much as possible, and reduce the adverse impact of the first electrode 1021 on the transistor T.


In some embodiments, the above-mentioned pattern recognition module according to an embodiment of the disclosure, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 10, may further include: a buffer layer (buffer) 104, a gate insulating layer (GI) 105, an interlayer dielectric layer (ILD) 106, a first insulating layer (PVX1) 107, a planarization layer (PLN) 108, a second insulating layer (PVX2) 109, a protective layer (Cover) 110, a resin layer (RESIN) 111, a third insulation layer (PVX3) 112, a bias metal layer 113, a fourth insulating layer (PVX4) 114 and a shielding layer (ITO) 115.


In some embodiments, the region where one photosensitive device 102 is located is a pixel region. Optionally, one transistor T is arranged in one pixel region (as shown in FIG. 11), so that the pattern recognition substrate performs fingerprint recognition in the passive mode (PPS). FIG. 12 shows a layout design of respective film layers in one pixel region. FIGS. 14 to 24 are single film layer diagrams of the respective film layers shown in FIG. 12.

FIG. 19 shows a graphic of a second insulating layer (PVX2) 109 in one pixel region, including a through hole h3 for connecting the source/drain of the transistor T with the first electrode 1021 of the photosensitive device 102. Also, for the convenience of the electrical connection of the subsequently fabricated first electrode 1021 with the source/drain of the transistor T through h3 and h2, a diameter of the through hole h2 may be set to be larger than a diameter of the through hole h3.



FIG. 20 shows a graphic of a first electrode 1021 (also called SD2) in one pixel region, including a first electrode 1021 of a photosensitive device S, and an extension electrode 1021′ integrally provided with the first electrode 1021, where orthographic projections of the extension electrode 1021′ and the source/drain of the transistor T overlap with each other, to implement the electrical connection of the first electrode 1021 of the photosensitive device S with the source/drain of the transistor T through the extension electrode 1021′.

FIG. 22 shows a graphic of a protective layer (Cover) 110 and a resin layer (Resin) 111 in one pixel region, including a through hole h4 for connecting the second electrode 1023 of the photosensitive device 102 with the bias metal layer 113 (also called TM).

FIG. 24 shows a graphic of a bias metal layer 113 in one pixel region, including a main body M extending in a column direction, and a plurality of protruding portions S on the same side of the main body, where the protruding portions S are electrically connected to the second electrode 1023 of the photosensitive device 102, and the protruding portions S partially overlap with the second electrode 1023, so that the fingerprint-reflected light is irradiated onto the photoelectric conversion layer 1022 through the second electrode 1023 that does not overlap with the protruding portions S.


Furthermore, a shielding layer (ITO) 115 has a block structure that completely covers each pixel region within the pixel region in the display region AA, and has a block structure that completely covers a bonding region within the bonding region BD shown in FIG. 2, to play the role of shielding external electromagnetic interference; and in order to ensure transmittance, the shielding layer (ITO) 115 is generally made of transparent material such as indium tin oxide. In some embodiments, the shielding layer 115 is connected to ground. Generally, as shown in FIG. 2, a gate driver chip (Gate IC) 116 and a source driver chip (Source IC) 117 are provided in the bonding region BD. During specific implementation, the gate drive chip (Gate IC) 116 provides a drive signal for a scan line G through a lead wire of a fanout region (Fanout), and the source drive chip (Source IC) 117 provides a drive signal for a read line (Test) through a lead wire of the fanout region (Fanout).


In some embodiments, in the above-mentioned pattern recognition substrate according to an embodiment of the disclosure, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 10, a planarization layer 108 is located between a layer where the transistor T is located and a layer where the first electrode 1021 is located, facilitating reception of the fingerprint-reflected light that is transmitted by the first electrode 1021 and not absorbed by the I-type semiconductor layer, so the planarization layer 108 can be multiplexed as the light-absorbing layer 103. Such arrangement can also avoid the light-absorbing layer 103 from being arranged separately, reduce the number of film layers, reduce the production cost, and improve the production efficiency. In some embodiments, in order to achieve better light absorption effect, a material of the planarization layer 108 may be black resin or the like.


The above content only describes the pattern recognition substrate having the fingerprint recognition function. In some embodiments, the pattern recognition substrate may also have a display function. The above pattern recognition substrate according to an embodiment of the disclosure, as shown in FIGS. 25 and 26, may further include: a light-emitting device 118 located on a side of the layer where the photosensitive device 102 is located away from the base substrate 101, realizing the display function through the light-emitting device 118 emitting light. Optionally, an orthographic projection of the light-emitting device 118 on the base substrate 101 does not overlap with an orthographic projection of the photosensitive device 102 on the base substrate 101, to avoid the light-emitting device 118 from blocking the light reflected by the finger.


When the pattern recognition substrate according to the disclosure has both the display function and touch function, as shown in FIGS. 25 and 26, the pattern recognition substrate may include a protective cover 119, an optical glue 120, a polarizer 121, a touch layer 122, an encapsulation layer 123, a cathode 1181, a support layer 124, a light emitting layer (EL) 1182, a pixel definition layer 125, an anode 1183 and a bias metal layer 113 arranged in the same layer, a resin layer 111, a protective layer 110, a second electrode 1023, a photoelectric conversion layer 1022, a first electrode 1021, a second insulating layer (PVX2) 109, a planarization layer (PLN) 108, a first insulating layer (PVX1) 107, a source and a drain of a transistor T, an interlayer dielectric layer (ILD) 106, a second gate metal layer 126, a first sub-gate insulating layer 1051, a gate of the transistor T, a second sub-gate insulating layer 1052, an active layer of the transistor T, a buffer layer (buffer) 104 and a base substrate 101 from top to bottom.


During fingerprint recognition, when the finger F touches the pattern recognition substrate, the light reflected by the finger passes through the gap between the light-emitting devices 118 and reaches the photoelectric conversion layer 1022 of the photosensitive device 102. The I-type semiconductor layer of the photoelectric conversion layer 1022 absorbs a part of the light reflected by the finger, detecting the intensity of the fingerprint-reflected light. Due to different energy of diffusely reflected light downwards at the valleys and ridges, the light intensities detected by the array of the photosensitive device 102 are different, thus obtaining the fingerprint image information. Also, the fingerprint-reflected light that is not absorbed by the I-type semiconductor layer passes through the light-transmitting region L of the first electrode 1021 and is absorbed by the light-absorbing layer 103, avoiding the fingerprint-reflected light that is not absorbed and converted by the I-type semiconductor layer from being reflected multiple times between the first electrode 1021 and the finger, and thus improving the accuracy of fingerprint recognition.
