Description

像素结构及其制造方法 Pixel structure and manufacturing method thereof

技术领域 technical field

本发明涉及一种像素结构及其制造方法,且特别是有关于一种具有高开口率(aperture ratio)的像素结构及其制造方法。The present invention relates to a pixel structure and a manufacturing method thereof, and in particular to a pixel structure with a high aperture ratio and a manufacturing method thereof.

背景技术 Background technique

在3C时代的生活当中,市面上有许多琳琅满目的信息设备,例如行动电话、数字相机、数字摄影机、笔记型计算机以及桌上型计算机等数字化工具,无不朝向更便利、多功能且美观的方向发展。在大部分的信息设备中,都是以平面显示器作为主要的沟通接口,通过平面显示器的显示功能,使得使用者在产品的操作上更为便利。其中,液晶显示器因具有省电、高画质、空间利用效率佳、低消耗功率、无辐射等优越特性,已成为市场的主流。In the life of the 3C era, there are many kinds of information devices on the market, such as mobile phones, digital cameras, digital video cameras, notebook computers, desktop computers and other digital tools, all of which are developing in a more convenient, multi-functional and beautiful direction. . In most of the information devices, the flat-panel display is used as the main communication interface, and the display function of the flat-panel display makes it more convenient for users to operate the product. Among them, liquid crystal display has become the mainstream of the market due to its superior characteristics such as power saving, high image quality, good space utilization efficiency, low power consumption, and no radiation.

一般而言,液晶显示器的像素结构包括扫描线、数据线、主动元件与像素电极。在像素结构中,数据线与像素电极之间的杂散电容(Capacitancebetween pixel and data line,Cpd)是影响开口率的因素之一。详言之,当数据线与像素电极的距离缩短时,数据线与像素电极之间的杂散电容(Cpd)会随之增加,为了避免数据线与像素电极之间的杂散电容(Cpd)所导致的串音效应(cross talk),设计者通常会让数据线与像素电极保持一定的距离,以降低垂直的串音效应(vertical cross talk),然而,数据线与像素电极的距离越远,造成像素开口率的下降也越多。Generally speaking, the pixel structure of a liquid crystal display includes scan lines, data lines, active elements and pixel electrodes. In the pixel structure, the stray capacitance (Capacitance between pixel and data line, C pd ) between the data line and the pixel electrode is one of the factors affecting the aperture ratio. In detail, when the distance between the data line and the pixel electrode is shortened, the stray capacitance (C pd ) between the data line and the pixel electrode will increase accordingly. In order to avoid the stray capacitance (C pd ) between the data line and the pixel electrode pd ) caused by the crosstalk effect (cross talk), designers usually keep a certain distance between the data line and the pixel electrode to reduce the vertical crosstalk effect (vertical cross talk), however, the distance between the data line and the pixel electrode The farther it is, the more the pixel aperture ratio will drop.

为降低上述像素结构的串音效应,同时使像素结构的开口率维持在一定程度,已有许多像素结构相继被提出。举例而言,可以在像素电极与数据线之间配置较厚的绝缘层以降低杂散电容的效应。然而,常见的绝缘层材料为有机材料,例如是丙烯酸树脂,除了具有容易吸收水气造成附着力变差的缺点,在工艺中还有因为材料本身无法完全脱色(bleach)而使得像素结构整体的穿透度下降的缺点。In order to reduce the crosstalk effect of the above-mentioned pixel structure and maintain the aperture ratio of the pixel structure at a certain level, many pixel structures have been proposed successively. For example, a thicker insulating layer can be disposed between the pixel electrode and the data line to reduce the effect of stray capacitance. However, the common insulating layer material is organic material, such as acrylic resin, which not only has the disadvantage of easily absorbing moisture and causing poor adhesion, but also has the disadvantage of making the pixel structure integral due to the fact that the material itself cannot be completely bleached during the process. The disadvantage of decreased penetration.

For example, the material of the first dielectric layer 120a is a dielectric material such as silicon dioxide, silicon nitride or silicon oxynitride.

另外,形成半导体通道层130的方法包括以下步骤。首先,于栅极绝缘层120上形成非晶硅等半导体材料层(未示出),并进行掺杂工艺,以于半导体材料层(未示出)的上表面形成掺杂半导体材料层(未示出),如N型掺杂半导体材料层(N+doped semiconductor layer)。然后,图案化半导体材料层(未示出),以形成位于栅极112上方的半导体通道层130及其上表面的图案化掺杂半导体材料层132a。In addition, the method of forming the semiconductor channel layer 130 includes the following steps.

The method for forming the protective layer 150 includes forming a second dielectric layer (not shown) covering the gate insulating layer 120 and the second patterned conductor layer 140 on the substrate 100 first, and then forming a second dielectric layer (not shown) on the second dielectric layer (not shown). As shown), a third contact window 152 is formed to expose a part of the drain 148 . In this embodiment, the material of the protective layer 150 includes silicon oxide, silicon nitride or silicon oxynitride.

随之,请参照图1F与图2F,于保护层150上形成像素电极160,以使像素电极160是通过第三接触窗152与漏极148电性连接。像素电极160的形成方式可以是于保护层150上形成铟锡氧化物、铟锌氧化物或是其它材质的透明导电层(未示出),并将透明导电层(未示出)图案化以形成像素电极150。此外,共通电极线144例如是与像素电极160部分重迭而构成一储存电容Cst。Subsequently, referring to FIG. 1F and FIG. 2F , a pixel electrode 160 is formed on the protection layer 150 , so that the pixel electrode 160 is electrically connected to the drain electrode 148 through the third contact window 152 . The pixel electrode 160 may be formed by forming a transparent conductive layer (not shown) of indium tin oxide, indium zinc oxide or other materials on the protective layer 150, and patterning the transparent conductive layer (not shown) to A pixel electrode 150 is formed. In addition, for example, the common electrode line 144 partially overlaps with the pixel electrode 160 to form a storage capacitor Cst.

由图1F与图2F可知,像素结构170是配置于基板100上,其包括第一图案化导体层110、栅极绝缘层120、半导体通道层130、第二图案化导体层140、保护层150以及像素电极160。具体来说,栅极绝缘层120覆盖第一图案化导体层110。半导体信道层130配置于栅极绝缘层120上,而第二图案化导体层140配置于栅极绝缘层120以及半导体通道层130上。此外,保护层150覆盖第二图案化导体层140,而像素电极160配置于保护层150上。It can be seen from FIG. 1F and FIG. 2F that the pixel structure 170 is configured on the substrate 100, which includes a first patterned conductor layer 110, a gate insulating layer 120, a semiconductor channel layer 130, a second patterned conductor layer 140, and a protective layer 150. and the pixel electrode 160 . Specifically, the gate insulation layer 120 covers the first patterned conductor layer 110 . The semiconductor channel layer 130 is disposed on the gate insulating layer 120 , and the second patterned conductive layer 140 is disposed on the gate insulating layer 120 and the semiconductor channel layer 130 . In addition, the passivation layer 150 covers the second patterned conductor layer 140 , and the pixel electrode 160 is disposed on the passivation layer 150 .

详言之,第一图案化导体层110包括栅极112以及数据线114,而第二图案化导体层140包括扫描线142、共通电极线144以及源极146与漏极148。同时,半导体通道层130位于栅极112上方,共通电极线144位于数据线114上方,而源极146与漏极148位于半导体通道层130上。另外,栅极绝缘层120例如具有位于栅极112上方的第一接触窗122以及位于数据线114上方的第二接触窗124且扫描线142通过第一接触窗122与栅极112电性连接,而源极146通过第二接触窗124电性连接数据线114。此外,保护层150例如具有第三接触窗152,以使漏极148与像素电极160电性连接。整体而言,第一图案化导体层110、半导体通道层130与第二图案化导体层140共同构成薄膜晶体管180以及与薄膜晶体管180电性连接的数据线114以及扫描线142。In detail, the first patterned conductor layer 110 includes a gate 112 and a data line 114 , and the second patterned conductor layer 140 includes a scan line 142 , a common electrode line 144 , and a source 146 and a drain 148 . Meanwhile, the semiconductor channel layer 130 is located above the gate 112 , the common electrode line 144 is located above the data line 114 , and the source electrode 146 and the drain electrode 148 are located on the semiconductor channel layer 130 . In addition, the gate insulating layer 120 has, for example, a first contact window 122 located above the gate 112 and a second contact window 124 located above the data line 114, and the scan line 142 is electrically connected to the gate 112 through the first contact window 122, The source electrode 146 is electrically connected to the data line 114 through the second contact window 124 . In addition, the passivation layer 150 has, for example, a third contact window 152 to electrically connect the drain electrode 148 to the pixel electrode 160 . In general, the first patterned conductor layer 110 , the semiconductor channel layer 130 and the second patterned conductor layer 140 together constitute a thin film transistor 180 and a data line 114 and a scan line 142 electrically connected to the thin film transistor 180 .

一般来说,数据线114与像素电极160的距离越近,其间的杂散电容效应越大,而使像素电极160的电压容易受到数据线114所传输的不同电压影响,进而发生明显的串音效应。为了避免串音效应的影响,通常会缩减数据线114与像素电极160之间的重迭面积,但此举却使得开口率受到限制。在本实施例的像素结构170中,由于配置于数据线114与像素电极160之间的共通电极线144能够遮蔽数据线114与像素电极160间所产生的杂散电容效应,故使像素电极160的配置不会因而受限,而可有效地提高像素结构170的开口率。更进一步来说,由部份第一图案化导体层110所构成的数据线114为连续的线段,因此数据线114不易发生断线的情形,而有助于提升像素结构170的质量。Generally speaking, the closer the distance between the data line 114 and the pixel electrode 160 is, the greater the effect of the stray capacitance between them is, so that the voltage of the pixel electrode 160 is easily affected by the different voltages transmitted by the data line 114, resulting in obvious crosstalk. effect. In order to avoid the crosstalk effect, the overlapping area between the data line 114 and the pixel electrode 160 is usually reduced, but this limits the aperture ratio. In the pixel structure 170 of this embodiment, since the common electrode line 144 disposed between the data line 114 and the pixel electrode 160 can shield the stray capacitance effect generated between the data line 114 and the pixel electrode 160, the pixel electrode 160 The configuration of the pixel structure 170 is not limited thereby, and the aperture ratio of the pixel structure 170 can be effectively improved. Furthermore, the data line 114 formed by part of the first patterned conductor layer 110 is a continuous line segment, so the data line 114 is less likely to be disconnected, which helps to improve the quality of the pixel structure 170 .

在本实施例中,共通电极线144与像素电极160之间部分重迭而构成一储存电容Cst。同时,值得注意的是,共通电极线144例如是配置在相邻的两数据线114之间,并围绕像素电极160的边缘(如图1F所示)。因此,共通电极线144的配置不会使像素结构170的开口率大幅度地下滑。当围绕像素电极160边缘的共通电极线144具有一共通电压时,有助于形成由像素结构170边缘向像素结构170中心变化的变形电场。因此,像素结构170应用于液晶显示面板中可使液晶分子具有较快的反应速率,且液晶分子可朝向正确的方向倾倒。当然,本发明的像素结构170并不限定将共通电极线144围绕像素电极160周围。换言之,共通电极线114也可以呈现线性或其它方式分布。In this embodiment, the common electrode line 144 partially overlaps with the pixel electrode 160 to form a storage capacitor Cst. Meanwhile, it should be noted that the common electrode line 144 is, for example, disposed between two adjacent data lines 114 and surrounds the edge of the pixel electrode 160 (as shown in FIG. 1F ). Therefore, the arrangement of the common electrode lines 144 will not greatly decrease the aperture ratio of the pixel structure 170 . When the common electrode line 144 surrounding the edge of the pixel electrode 160 has a common voltage, it is helpful to form a deformed electric field that changes from the edge of the pixel structure 170 to the center of the pixel structure 170 . Therefore, the application of the pixel structure 170 in the liquid crystal display panel can make the liquid crystal molecules have a faster reaction rate, and the liquid crystal molecules can tilt towards the correct direction. Of course, the pixel structure 170 of the present invention is not limited to surrounding the pixel electrode 160 with the common electrode line 144 . In other words, the common electrode lines 114 may also be distributed linearly or in other ways.

当然,第一图案化导体层110、半导体通道层130与第二图案化导体层140可以通过其它不同的连接方式连接,以构成薄膜晶体管180以及与薄膜晶体管180电性连接的数据线114以及扫描线142。图3A为本发明的另一实施例的像素结构的上视示意图,而图3B为沿图3A的剖线D-D’所为的剖面图。请先参照图3A,像素结构300与像素结构170的组成元件大致相同,其差异之处如下所述。像素结构300中,第一图案化导体层110还包括一连接层116,位于漏极148以及像素电极160下方。同时,请参照图3A与图3B,像素结构300中,栅极绝缘层120中例如具有第四接触窗126,以使漏极148通过第四接触窗126与连接层116电性连接。另外,保护层150以与栅极绝缘层120中例如具有第五接触窗154,以使像素电极160通过第五接触窗154电性连接连接层116。此时,漏极148例如是通过连接层116与像素电极160电性连接的。Of course, the first patterned conductor layer 110, the semiconductor channel layer 130 and the second patterned conductor layer 140 can be connected through other different connection methods to form the thin film transistor 180 and the data line 114 electrically connected to the thin film transistor 180 and the scanning Line 142. FIG. 3A is a schematic top view of a pixel structure according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3B is a cross-sectional view taken along line D-D' of FIG. 3A . Please refer to FIG. 3A first, the components of the pixel structure 300 and the pixel structure 170 are substantially the same, and the differences are as follows. In the pixel structure 300 , the first patterned conductor layer 110 further includes a connection layer 116 located under the drain electrode 148 and the pixel electrode 160 . Meanwhile, please refer to FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B , in the pixel structure 300 , for example, the gate insulating layer 120 has a fourth contact window 126 , so that the drain electrode 148 is electrically connected to the connection layer 116 through the fourth contact window 126 . In addition, the passivation layer 150 and the gate insulating layer 120 have, for example, a fifth contact window 154 , so that the pixel electrode 160 is electrically connected to the connection layer 116 through the fifth contact window 154 . At this time, the drain electrode 148 is electrically connected to the pixel electrode 160 through the connection layer 116 , for example.

详细而言,本实施例中使漏极148与像素电极160电性连接的方法包括以下步骤。首先,于形成第一图案化导体层110的同时,例如可形成位于栅极112的一侧的连接层116。也就是说,连接层116在本实施例中会直接形成于基板100上。此外,于形成半导体通道层130后以及形成第二图案化导体层140之前,例如可形成第四接触窗126于栅极绝缘层120中,以在第二图案化导体层140形成之后,使漏极148通过第四接触窗126与连接层116电性连接。另外,于形成保护层150后以及形成像素电极160之前,例如形成第五接触窗154于保护层150以与栅极绝缘层120中,并且使像素电极160形成之后,像素电极160通过第五接触窗154电性连接连接层116。In detail, the method for electrically connecting the drain electrode 148 to the pixel electrode 160 in this embodiment includes the following steps. Firstly, while forming the first patterned conductor layer 110 , for example, the connection layer 116 on one side of the gate 112 may be formed. That is to say, the connection layer 116 is directly formed on the substrate 100 in this embodiment. In addition, after forming the semiconductor channel layer 130 and before forming the second patterned conductor layer 140, for example, the fourth contact window 126 can be formed in the gate insulating layer 120, so that after the second patterned conductor layer 140 is formed, the drain The electrode 148 is electrically connected to the connection layer 116 through the fourth contact window 126 . In addition, after the protective layer 150 is formed and before the pixel electrode 160 is formed, for example, the fifth contact window 154 is formed in the protective layer 150 to be in the gate insulating layer 120, and after the pixel electrode 160 is formed, the pixel electrode 160 passes through the fifth contact. The window 154 is electrically connected to the connection layer 116 .

当形成第四接触窗126与第五接触窗154时,可能因为工艺上对准的误差而使接触窗(126或154)的范围超出连接层116的范围外而暴露出连接层116周围的部分基板100。在形成漏极148或是像素电极160后,漏极148或是像素电极160的部份区域会直接形成于基板100上。此时,漏极148与像素电极160的一部分会由连接层116的上表面延伸至连接层116的一侧而仍为一连续沉积的膜层。换言之,即使形成接触窗(126或154)的工艺有些微误差,像素电极160与连接层116以及连接层116与漏极146间的连接情形仍相当良好。也即,本实施例的像素结构300具有高的工艺良率。When the fourth contact window 126 and the fifth contact window 154 are formed, the range of the contact window (126 or 154) may exceed the range of the connection layer 116 due to an alignment error in the process, thereby exposing a part around the connection layer 116 Substrate 100. After forming the drain electrode 148 or the pixel electrode 160 , a part of the drain electrode 148 or the pixel electrode 160 is directly formed on the substrate 100 . At this time, part of the drain electrode 148 and the pixel electrode 160 will extend from the upper surface of the connection layer 116 to one side of the connection layer 116 and still be a continuously deposited film layer. In other words, even if there is a slight error in the process of forming the contact window ( 126 or 154 ), the connection between the pixel electrode 160 and the connection layer 116 and between the connection layer 116 and the drain 146 is still quite good. That is, the pixel structure 300 of this embodiment has a high process yield.

另外,本实施例的连接层116位于环状的共通电极线144下方,因此像素电极160周围区域例如会受到共通电极线144的共通电压的影响。此时,像素结构300应用于液晶显示面板时,共通电极线144所具有的共通电压有助于辅助液晶分子的朝特定方向排列。进一步而言,当具有像素结构300的液晶显示面板受到单点施压(例如以手指按压液晶显示面板)时,由于共通电极线144的配置而使液晶分子可以快速地恢复其正确的排列方向。也就是说,像素结构300的设计有助于提高液晶显示面板的质量。In addition, the connection layer 116 in this embodiment is located under the ring-shaped common electrode line 144 , so the area around the pixel electrode 160 is affected by the common voltage of the common electrode line 144 , for example. At this time, when the pixel structure 300 is applied to a liquid crystal display panel, the common voltage of the common electrode line 144 is helpful to assist the arrangement of the liquid crystal molecules in a specific direction. Furthermore, when the liquid crystal display panel with the pixel structure 300 is subjected to single-point pressure (such as pressing the liquid crystal display panel with a finger), the liquid crystal molecules can quickly restore their correct alignment direction due to the configuration of the common electrode lines 144 . That is to say, the design of the pixel structure 300 helps to improve the quality of the liquid crystal display panel.

除此之外,本发明的像素结构还可有其它种类的设计。举例而言,图4为本发明的又一实施例的像素结构的上视示意图。请参照图4,像素结构400与像素结构300大致相似,其差异在于:像素结构400的数据线414可分为两个线段,其中第一线段414A可以是由第一图案化导体层构成而第二线段414B由第二图案化导体层构成。换言之,像素结构400的数据线并非仅由一层导体层制作而成。In addition, the pixel structure of the present invention can also have other types of designs. For example, FIG. 4 is a schematic top view of a pixel structure according to another embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to FIG. 4 , the pixel structure 400 is roughly similar to the pixel structure 300, the difference is that: the data line 414 of the pixel structure 400 can be divided into two line segments, wherein the first line segment 414A can be formed by the first patterned conductor layer. The second line segment 414B is formed by the second patterned conductor layer. In other words, the data lines of the pixel structure 400 are not made of only one conductive layer.

第一线段414A与第二线段414B例如是通过第六接触窗416彼此电性连接,且漏极446例如是与第二线段414B直接连接。也就是说,漏极446与第二线段414B例如都由第二图案化金属层制作。此外,像素结构400中扫描线418与栅极112例如都是由第一图案化导体层所构成。同时,第二线段414B跨于扫描线142上方并且电性连接第一线段414A。其中,漏极148也是通过一连接层116与像素电极160电性连接的。像素结构400的共通电极线144也可以避免数据线414传输信号时所产生的串音现象,而有助于使液晶显示面板具有良好的质量。The first line segment 414A and the second line segment 414B are electrically connected to each other, for example, through the sixth contact window 416 , and the drain 446 is, for example, directly connected to the second line segment 414B. That is to say, both the drain electrode 446 and the second line segment 414B are made of the second patterned metal layer, for example. In addition, the scan lines 418 and the gates 112 in the pixel structure 400 are, for example, formed by the first patterned conductor layer. Meanwhile, the second line segment 414B crosses over the scan line 142 and is electrically connected to the first line segment 414A. Wherein, the drain electrode 148 is also electrically connected to the pixel electrode 160 through a connection layer 116 . The common electrode line 144 of the pixel structure 400 can also avoid the crosstalk phenomenon generated when the data line 414 transmits signals, and contributes to the good quality of the liquid crystal display panel.

Referring to FIG. 5 , the liquid crystal display panel 500 includes a first substrate 510 , a second substrate 520 and a liquid crystal layer 530 . The first substrate 510 includes a plurality of pixel structures 540 , and the second substrate 520 is disposed opposite to the first substrate 510 . The second substrate 520 can be, for example, a color filter. Meanwhile, the liquid crystal layer 530 is disposed between the first substrate 510 and the second substrate 520 . The pixel structure 540 is any pixel structure in the above-mentioned embodiments, and the design of the common electrode line can reduce the stray capacitance between the pixel electrode and the data line, so as to avoid the crosstalk effect. The same conductor layer can be used to form the data lines in the pixel structure 540 to reduce the contact resistance of the data lines, so the quality of data transmission is quite good, that is, the liquid crystal display panel 500 with the pixel structure 540 has good quality. At the same time, in the pixel structure 540, a connection layer can be used to electrically connect the drain electrode and the pixel electrode, so as to avoid disconnection between the drain electrode and the pixel electrode, which helps to improve the process yield of the liquid crystal display panel 500 . Furthermore, in the pixel structure of the present invention, the common electrode lines are disposed around the pixel electrodes, and the common voltage thereof is helpful for the arrangement of liquid crystal molecules in the auxiliary liquid crystal layer 530 . In particular, the common voltage of the common electrode line can make the liquid crystal molecules near the thin film transistors tend to the correct alignment direction, so that the liquid crystal display panel 500 can maintain good display quality.
