DETAILED DESCRIPTION

For clearer descriptions of the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages in the present disclosure, the embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail hereinafter in combination with the accompanying drawings.


A mobility and refresh rate of a conventional amorphous silicon (a-Si) thin film transistor (TFT) (a material of an active layer is a-Si) are less, and thus are difficult to meet requirements of a larger-sized television product. A metal oxide TFT (a material of an active layer is a metal oxide) has advantages such as, a greater mobility, uniform device properties, suitable for mass production, a lower manufacturing temperature, suitable for flexible display and transparent display, and the like. Thus, the metal oxide is a most potential material to replace a-Si as a material of the active layer of the TFT.


The metal oxide TFT is a new TFT, and is applicable to a liquid crystal display (LCD), an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display, an X-ray transducer, a mini light-emitting diode (mini LED) display, a quantum dot light emitting diodes (QLED) display, a low temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO), and the like.


The metal oxide TFT is disposed in an array substrate when applied in a display panel. The array substrate is a part in the display panel, and is configured to control the display panel. The display panel includes other parts according to different types of the display panel. For example, in the case that the display panel is a liquid crystal display panel, the liquid crystal display panel further includes a liquid crystal layer and a color film substrate. For example, in the case that the display panel is an organic light-emitting diode display panel, the organic light-emitting diode display panel further includes an organic light-emitting diode.


An existing metal oxide TFT is sensitive, a threshold voltage is negatively biased, and a positive bias temperature stress (PBTS) of the metal oxide TFT is unstable. In addition, the negative bias temperature illumination stress (NBTIS) of the metal oxide TFT is affected upon lighting, such that a property of the metal oxide TFT is poor.


Nowadays, a number of masks required to manufacturing the metal oxide TFT is less, such that manufacturing processes are less, the production cost is saved, and the throughput is increased. However, a side, distal from a base substrate, of the active layer is prone to an effect of an etchant (an etchant for etching the metal material to form a source electrode and a drain electrode) to generate defects, and thus, it is necessary to supplement the oxygen to the active layer to reduce the defects in the active layer.


It is noted that, the defects in the side, distal from the base substrate, of the active layer causes a poor switching property of the metal oxide TFT. The switching property of the metal oxide TFT is measured by a difference value between a current in an open state and a current in a closed state. Where the difference value between the current in the open state and the current in the closed state is less, the switching property of the metal oxide TFT is poor. Where the difference value between the current in the open state and the current in the closed state is greater, the switching property of the metal oxide TFT is great.


Referring to FIG. 1, the side, distal from the base substrate, of the active layer contains defects, and an oxygen supplementation is not performed on the side, distal from the base substrate, of the active layer. In the case that the metal oxide TFT is in the closed state (for example, an applying voltage is less than a threshold voltage), a current is present in each portion of the active layer, and difference values of currents in different regions are greater (for example, latitude coordinates of each curve in the drawing represent currents of one region at different voltages). Thus, the difference value of the metal oxide TFT between the current in the open state and the current in the closed state is less, and the switching property of the metal oxide TFT is poor.


Referring to FIG. 2, the side, distal from the base substrate, of the active layer contains defects, and an oxygen supplementation is performed on the side, distal from the base substrate, of the active layer. In the case that the metal oxide TFT is in the closed state (for example, an applying voltage is less than a threshold voltage), a current in each portion of the active layer is less (such as, 0). In the case that the metal oxide TFT is in the open state (for example, an applying voltage is increased to the threshold voltage), a current in each portion of the active layer is increased and tends to be stable. Thus, the difference value of the metal oxide TFT between the current in the open state and the current in the closed state is greater, difference values of currents in different regions at the same voltage are less, and the switching property of the metal oxide TFT is greater.


In the embodiments of the present disclosure, by adding an oxygen supplementation layer in the metal oxide TFT, oxygen introduced in manufacturing the oxygen supplementation layer is capable of diffusing to the active layer, such that a stability of the PBTS of the metal oxide TFT is improved, and the property of the metal oxide TFT is ensured.



FIG. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a thin film transistor according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 3, the thin film transistor 10 includes: an active layer 101, source and drain electrodes 102, and an oxygen supplementation layer 103 that are disposed on a base substrate 20. The source and drain electrodes 102 are disposed on a side, distal from the base substrate 20, of the active layer 101, and the oxygen supplementation layer 103 is disposed on the side, distal from the base substrate 20, of the active layer 101 and contains a metal oxide.


An orthogonal projection of the oxygen supplementation layer 103 on the base substrate 20 is at least partially overlapped with an orthogonal projection of a target portion 101a of the active layer 101 on the base substrate 20, and the orthogonal projection of the target portion 101a on the base substrate 20 is not overlapped with orthogonal projections of the source and drain electrodes 102 on the base substrate 20.


As the orthogonal projection of the target portion 101a of the active layer 101 on the base substrate 20 is not overlapped with the orthogonal projections of the source and drain electrodes 102 on the base substrate 20, compared with other portions of the active layer 101, the target portion 101a of the active layer 101 is prone to an effect of an etchant in forming the source and drain electrodes 102 by etching a metal material by the etchant, so as to generate defects. Thus, it is necessary to perform the oxygen supplementation on the target portion 101a to improve the defects of oxygen vacancies in the target portion 101a of the active layer 101, so as to ensure the property of the thin film transistor.


In the embodiments of the present disclosure, film layers of the thin film transistor are formed in a reaction chamber. As the oxygen supplementation layer 103 includes the metal oxide, the oxygen is introduced into the reaction chamber in depositing the metal material when the oxygen supplementation layer 103 is formed. In addition, as the oxygen supplementation layer 103 is disposed on the side, distal from the base substrate 20, of the active layer 101, the active layer 101 is formed prior to the oxygen supplementation layer 103. In the case that the orthogonal projection of the oxygen supplementation layer 103 on the base substrate 20 is at least partially overlapped with the orthogonal projection of the target portion 101a of the active layer 101 on the base substrate 20, oxygen introduced into the reaction chamber in forming the oxygen supplementation layer 103 is capable of diffusing to the target portion 101a of the active layer 101, such that the defects of oxygen vacancies in the target portion 101a of the active layer 101 is reduced, and the property of the thin film transistor 10 is greater.


In summary, a thin film transistor is provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure. The thin film transistor includes an active layer, source and drain electrodes, and an oxygen supplementation layer. As an orthogonal projection of the oxygen supplementation layer on the base substrate is at least partially overlapped with an orthogonal projection of a target portion of the active layer on the base substrate, oxygen introduced in forming the oxygen supplementation layer in the thin film transistor is capable of diffusing to the target portion of the active layer, such that a defect in the target portion of the active layer is reduced, and the property of the thin film transistor is greater.


In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the oxygen supplementation layer 103 is formed from the metal oxide material. For example, a material of the oxygen supplementation layer 103 includes at least one of: an indium-gallium-zinc oxide (IGZO), an indium-gallium-zinc-tin oxide (IGZTO), an indium-tin oxide (ITO), an indium-zinc oxide (IZO), an indium-tin-zinc oxide (ITZO), a molybdenum oxide (MoO), an aluminum oxide (AlO), a copper oxide (CuO), an indium oxide (InO), a tin oxide (SnO), a zinc oxide (ZnO), and a nickel oxide (NiO).


In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the active layer 101 is formed from the metal oxide material. For example, a material of the active layer 101 includes one or more metal oxides. The material of the active layer 101 includes at least one of IGZO, IGZTO, ITO, IZO and ITZO.


In addition, an oxygen content of the active layer 101 is controlled by a content of the oxygen introduced into the reaction chamber in forming the active layer 101. The oxygen content of the active layer 101 is positively correlated with the content of the oxygen introduced in forming the active layer 101. That is, the greater the content of the oxygen introduced in forming, the greater the oxygen content of the active layer 101. The less the content of the oxygen introduced in forming, the less the oxygen content of the active layer 101. The structure of the active layer 101 is a crystalline state or an amorphous state, and the structure of the active layer 101 is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.


In some embodiments, the active layer 101 includes a layer of metal oxide, or a plurality of layers of metal oxides.

The orthogonal projection of the target portion 101a on the base substrate 20 being not overlapped with the orthogonal projections of the source and drain electrodes 102 on the base substrate 20 means that the orthogonal projection of the target portion 101a on the base substrate 20 is not overlapped with an orthogonal projection of the source electrode 1021 on the base substrate 20 and an orthogonal projection of the drain electrode 1022 on the base substrate 20.

In some embodiments, the source and drain electrodes 102 include a layer of metal oxide, or a plurality of layers of metal oxides. In the case that the source and drain electrodes 102 include a plurality of layers of metal oxides, materials of the plurality of layers of metal oxides are different.


In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the orthogonal projection of the oxygen supplementation layer 103 on the base substrate 20 covers the orthogonal projection of the target portion 101a on the base substrate 20. That is, the orthogonal projection of the target portion 101a on the base substrate 20 falls within the orthogonal projection of the oxygen supplementation layer 103 on the base substrate 20.


As the orthogonal projection of the oxygen supplementation layer 103 on the base substrate 20 covers the orthogonal projection of the target portion 101a on the base substrate 20, the oxygen introduced into the reaction chamber in forming the oxygen supplementation layer 103 is capable of diffusing to a larger region of the target portion 101a, such that the defects in the target portion 101a is reduced, and the property of the thin film transistor 10 is ensured.

The second insulation layer 106 is disposed between the source and drain electrodes 102 and the oxygen supplementation layer 103, and is configured to insulate the source and drain electrodes 102 from the oxygen supplementation layer 103.
