Description of the Invention: [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) film, in particular, a method for producing a Joule heat by applying electric power to a conductive thin medium. A method for producing a spar film capable of providing the same crystallization characteristics at a low voltage and at a high voltage, and reducing manufacturing time and production cost. [Prior Art] In general, the disadvantages of non-μ (a'Si) include low mobility of electrons as charge carriers and low aperture _ and disadvantages not applicable to complementary metal hydride semiconductor (CMOS) processes. . Another aspect of the 'p〇ly_Si' family of thin-film devices allows the _video signal to be written into the pixel-and-pixel thin-film transistor (TFT) array to be mounted on the same substrate. In the amorphous stone eve m is not feasible. Therefore, in the polycrystalline (tetra) medium (four), connection between a plurality of terminals and a driver integrated circuit uc) is not required, and it is possible to improve productivity and reliability and to reduce panel thickness. Further, in a polycrystalline TFT process, a large-scale integrated ((3)) micro-processing technique can be used and a micro-interconnect or the like can be formed. Therefore, since the tape automatic bonding (TAB) mounted on the driver 1C does not exist in the pitch limitation of the amorphous germanium TFT, the pixel can be easily reduced and a plurality of pixels can be performed in a narrow viewing angle. Compared with a TFT using amorphous germanium for an active layer, in a TFT using such a polysilicon, the switching ability is high and the channel position of the active layer is determined by self-alignment, and thus the device can be achieved.

For these reasons, the polycrystalline germanium TFT is used as a pixel switching device for an active matrix flat panel display such as a liquid crystal display (LCD) or an organic light emitting diode (〇LED) display device, and has been attracting attention as a large screen. And an important device for practical use of glass substrate wafer (C〇G) products with embedded drivers. Polycrystalline germanium TFTs can be fabricated by processes performed at both high and low temperatures. For a warm process, the substrate must be made of expensive materials such as quartz.

且因此高溫製程不適合大型螢幕之释行。 因此,已對於大規模地使非晶矽薄膜在低溫下結晶化為 多晶石夕薄膜的方法進行積極研究。 用於形成多晶矽的低溫技術包含固相結晶化(spc)、金 屬誘致結晶化(MIC)、金屬誘致侧向結晶k (milc)、 準分子雷射結晶化(ELC)等技術。 在SPC中,可利用低成本設備獲得一致晶體品質。但是, SPC要求一咼結晶溫度和一長處理時閟,且因此具有低生 ❹ 產率。又,無法使用具有相對較低熱撓曲溫度之基板, 譬如玻璃基板。 在SPC中’非晶矽薄膜通常必須在6〇〇艽至7〇〇<^的溫度 退火大約1至24小時使非晶石夕薄膜能夠結晶化。 此外在SPC中’在從非晶相轉變成晶體相的固態相變過 程中會觀察到雙晶生長。因此,在成型晶粒巾會含有許 多晶格缺陷。 這些因素降低電子遷移率及電洞遷料且提高製得多晶 矽TFT之臨界電壓。 MIC的好處在於結晶化作用係在一遠低於SPC的溫度完成 099112329 表單編號A0101 * - ^ 頁/共 26 頁 0993293765-0 201100565 ’因為非晶矽與一特定金屬保持接觸。 用於MIC的金屬包含Ni、Pd、Ti、A1、Ag、Au、Co、Cu 、Fe ' Mn等’這些金屬與非晶石夕發生反應且形成一共溶 合金相或矽化物相以促進低溫結晶化作用。 但是,當MIC施用於一製造多晶矽TFT的實際製程時,這 些金屬在通道中造成嚴重污染。 MILC是MIC的一種應用技術’其中不沈積金屬而是在一通 道上形成一閘極,使薄金屬在一自對準結構中沈積於一 源極和一没極上以引發金屬誘致結晶化作用,然後誘發 朝該通道之侧向結晶作用。 用於MILC的常見金屬包含Ni和Pd。相較於由SPC形成的 多晶石夕,由ΜILC形成的多晶勢具有較佳結晶度及高場效 遷移率,但已知具有高漏電流。 換句話說,MILC相較於MIC降低金屬污染,但並未完全解 決此問題。 在此同時,有一種場輔助侧向結晶化(FALC)作為MILC 之改良技術。相較於MILC,FALCi:現一高結晶速率及結 晶方向之各向異性,但依然未完全解決金屬污染問題。 上述MIC、MILC及FALC相較於SPC全都有效於降低結晶溫 度’但具有長結晶時間及由金屬誘發結晶化作用的共同 缺點。因此,這些技術全都未能免除金屬污染。 在此同時,新近開發的ELC能夠藉由一低溫製程在玻璃基 板上製得多晶矽薄膜同時避免金屬污染。 換句話說,由低壓化學氣相沈積(LPCVD)或電漿增強化 學氣相沈積(PECVD)沈積的非晶矽薄膜對於準分子雷射 波長的紫外線範圍(又= 308 nm)有極高吸收係數,且 099112329 第6頁/共26頁 表單編號A0101 201100565 因此易於在一適當能量密度溶化。 當此-非晶㈣膜SI準分子雷射而結晶化時,溶化及固 化程序係在-極短時間長度㈣騎。因此之故,嚴格 來說,ELC並非低溫製種。 但在ELC中’結晶化作用係由在__受準分子雷射大幅影響 之局部熔化區域中非常快速地進行的熔化及固化作用完 成。因此,有可能在-極短時間長度(數十個毫微秒) 内形成多晶石夕而不傷到基板。And therefore the high temperature process is not suitable for the release of large screens. Therefore, active research has been conducted on a method of crystallizing an amorphous germanium film into a polycrystalline film at a low temperature on a large scale. Low temperature techniques for forming polycrystalline germanium include solid phase crystallization (spc), metal induced crystallization (MIC), metal induced lateral crystallization k (milc), and excimer laser crystallization (ELC). In SPC, consistent crystal quality can be achieved with low cost equipment. However, SPC requires a crystallization temperature and a long treatment time, and thus has a low yield. Also, substrates having relatively low heat deflection temperatures, such as glass substrates, cannot be used. In the SPC, the amorphous germanium film usually has to be annealed at a temperature of 6 Torr to 7 Torr for about 1 to 24 hours to crystallize the amorphous film. Further, in the SPC, twin growth is observed in the solid phase transition from the amorphous phase to the crystalline phase. Therefore, the molded grain towel will contain many lattice defects. These factors reduce electron mobility and hole relocation and increase the threshold voltage of the monocrystalline TFT. The benefit of the MIC is that the crystallization is done at a temperature well below the SPC. 099112329 Form No. A0101 * - ^ Page / Total 26 Pages 0993293765-0 201100565 'Because the amorphous germanium remains in contact with a particular metal. The metal used for the MIC includes Ni, Pd, Ti, A1, Ag, Au, Co, Cu, Fe' Mn, etc. These metals react with the amorphous phase and form a eutectic alloy phase or a bismuth phase to promote low temperature crystallization. Chemical effect. However, when the MIC is applied to an actual process for fabricating a polycrystalline germanium TFT, these metals cause serious contamination in the channel. MILC is an application technology of MIC, in which a metal is not deposited but a gate is formed on a channel, so that a thin metal is deposited on a source and a gate in a self-aligned structure to induce metal induced crystallization. Lateral crystallization towards the channel is then induced. Common metals for MILC include Ni and Pd. The polycrystalline potential formed by yttrium ILC has better crystallinity and high field-effect mobility compared to polycrystalline spine formed by SPC, but is known to have high leakage current. In other words, MILC reduces metal contamination compared to MIC, but does not completely address this issue. At the same time, there is a field-assisted lateral crystallization (FALC) as an improved technique for MILC. Compared to MILC, FALCi: the anisotropy of high crystallization rate and crystal orientation, but still does not completely solve the metal pollution problem. The above MIC, MILC and FALC are all effective in reducing the crystallization temperature as compared with SPC, but have the common disadvantage of long crystallization time and metal-induced crystallization. Therefore, none of these technologies have been able to eliminate metal contamination. At the same time, the newly developed ELC is capable of fabricating a polycrystalline silicon film on a glass substrate by a low temperature process while avoiding metal contamination. In other words, amorphous germanium films deposited by low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) or plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) have very high absorption coefficients for the ultraviolet range of the excimer laser wavelength (again = 308 nm). And 099112329 Page 6 of 26 Form No. A0101 201100565 It is therefore easy to dissolve at an appropriate energy density. When this -amorphous (tetra) film SI excimer laser is crystallized, the melting and solidification process is carried out in a very short time length (four). For this reason, strictly speaking, ELC is not a low-temperature seed. However, in ELC, the crystallization is accomplished by melting and solidification very rapidly in the localized melting zone which is greatly affected by the __excimer laser. Therefore, it is possible to form polycrystalline spine in a very short time length (tens of nanoseconds) without injuring the substrate.

Does not damage the underlying glass substrate O I.·?. Η Further, compared to the polycrystalline hair formed by solid phase crystallization, the polycrystalline germanium formed by the liquid phase to solid phase transformation has a thermodynamically stable grain structure and Significantly reduce crystal defects in the grains. Therefore, polycrystalline germanium formed by tantalum has characteristics superior to those of polycrystalline germanium formed by other crystallization techniques. ' ^ ' ί / ' However, ELC has several key drawbacks. For example, one problem with laser systems is that the amount of laser beam radiation is inconsistent. One of the problems with laser processing is that the processing area for obtaining the laser energy density of coarse and large grains is extremely limited, and the other problem is large area. Traces of the illumination. These problems have led to inconsistent grain sizes of polycrystalline germanium films which are constructed of polycrystalline germanium TFT active layers. Further, the polycrystalline germanium produced by the phase change of the liquid state into a solid state involves volume expansion, and thus a prominent protrusion is formed from a point where a grain boundary is formed toward a surface. 099112329 Form nickname A0101 Page 7 of 26 0993293765-0 201100565 This protrusion directly affects the gate insulation formed in the subsequent procedure, resulting in a breakdown voltage due to the inconsistent flatness of the interface between the polysilicon and the gate insulation. Reduced and leads to device reliability such as reduced thermal carrier stress. Time-series lateral solidification (SLS) has recently been developed to address the above-described ELC instability such that the processing area of the laser energy density can be successfully stabilized. However, the problem of illumination marks and protrusions toward the surface remains unresolved. In view of the current rapid development trend of the flat panel display industry, there is still a problem in the technology of using a laser for the crystallization process of a substrate of 1 mxl or more which will be mass-produced in the morning and evening. In addition, equipment for ELC and SLS is very expensive and requires high initial investment and maintenance costs. Accordingly, there is a need for a crystallization technique for amorphous chopped film that not only overcomes the disadvantages of the amount of radiation that is inconsistent with a partial treatment, has a limited processing area, and must be laser crystallized using expensive equipment, but also has The underlying substrate is not subject to rapid processing and can be modified to produce virtually flawless quality grain benefits. In particular, the active matrix organic light-emitting diodes that have recently attracted attention for next-generation flat panel displays use current-driven types compared to voltage-driven TFT liquid crystal displays (LCDs), and therefore the grain size Consistency is a very important factor for large substrates. Therefore, low temperature crystallization by ELC or SLS faces its limits in the current flat panel display industry. In view of this, there is an urgent need for a new technology for producing high-quality polycrystalline silicon crucibles without using low-temperature crystallization of lasers. In order to solve these conventional problems, the present inventors have proposed a crystallization method in the Korean Patent Application No. 099112329, Form No. A0101, No. 8/26, No. 201100565, 2007-0021, 252, on or under A conductive film is formed, and then Joule heating is performed by applying an electric field to complete crystallization. In a conventional method for fabricating a polycrystalline silicon film, an amorphous germanium film, an insulating layer and a conductive film are stacked on a substrate, electrode terminals are disposed at both ends of the conductive film, and then applied to the electrode terminals. An electric field generates Joule heat to crystallize the amorphous tantalum film. However, as the substrate size increases, the voltage to be applied gradually increases, and a device capable of applying a high voltage must be prepared. Therefore, equipment costs and production costs are increased. Also, when a high voltage is applied, the high voltage may seriously affect the equipment installed outside the compartment through the outer wall of the compartment in which the crystallization process is performed. Therefore, the compartment must also use high-performance equipment to prevent dielectric breakdown even at high voltages, which increases equipment cost and production cost. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0003] The present invention is directed to a method for fabricating a polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) film, which can reduce equipment cost and production cost, and even if a low voltage is applied, it is formed with a high A polycrystalline germanium film having the same characteristics as a polycrystalline germanium film formed under a voltage. [Technical Solution] One aspect of the present invention provides a polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) film manufacturing method comprising sequentially forming a first insulating layer, an amorphous a-Si film, and a first substrate on a substrate. a second insulating layer, and a conductive film, and the high heat generated by applying an electric field to the conductive film via the electrode causes the non-zero layer 9910 329 Form No. A0101 to be crystallized, wherein the electrode system is The center and both ends of a range in which the electric field is to be applied are disposed, and the electric field is applied when a predetermined voltage is applied to an electrode disposed at the center and the electrodes disposed at both ends are grounded. Another aspect of the present invention provides a method for fabricating a polysilicon film comprising sequentially forming a first insulating layer, a conductive film, a second insulating layer, and an amorphous germanium (a-Si) film on a substrate. And crystallizing the amorphous germanium film by using a high heat generated by applying an electric field to the conductive film via an electrode, wherein the electrodes are disposed at a center and both ends of a range in which the electric field is to be applied, and the electric field is at a predetermined time The voltage is applied when an electrode disposed at the center and the electrodes disposed at both ends are grounded. [Advantageous Effects] Using a polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) thin film manufacturing method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to obtain a polycrystalline silicon having the same characteristics as a polycrystalline germanium thin film formed at a high voltage even if a low voltage is applied. In addition, the film does not need to be repeatedly applied with an electric field, so the processing time can be shortened. In addition, there is no need to apply a high voltage, and there is no need to replace the device or change the material of the conductive film, the compartment, the insulating layer, etc., thereby reducing equipment cost and production cost. [Embodiment] Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail. However, the present invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments disclosed below, but can be implemented in many different forms. The following exemplary embodiments are intended to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention. 1 to 4 are diagrams illustrating a non-zero-single pattern of the first embodiment of the present invention, which is based on a first exemplary embodiment of the present invention, Form No. A0101, Page 10 of 26, 2011! In the amorphous ruthenium film crystallization method of the first exemplary embodiment, a first insulating layer 2, an amorphous thin dielectric, a second insulating layer 40, and a conductive film 50 are sequentially formed on a substrate 10. . Specifically, the first insulating layer 2, the amorphous dream film 30, the second insulating layer 4, and the conductive film 50' are sequentially formed on the substrate 1 and Joule heating is caused by applying an electric field to the conductive film 50. The action generates high heat, and the amorphous germanium film 30 is crystallized by the high heat. Ο The electric field can be applied via an electrode 60 that is in contact with the conductive film 50 and is connected to a voltage source Vs. Here, the electric field is applied to approximately the center and both ends of a range in which an electric field is to be applied. A positive potential voltage is applied to the center and grounded at both ends. Although this exemplary embodiment describes that the voltage applied to the center is a positive potential voltage, the voltage applied to the center can be a negative potential voltage.材料 The material of the substrate 10 is not limited to a specific material. For example, a transparent substrate material such as glass, stone enamel or plastic can be used as the material, and the glass is preferred for economic reasons. However, attention has been paid to recent research trends in the field of flat panel displays. Most of the research is on plastic substrates and the like, which have excellent impact resistance and productivity, and an exemplary embodiment of the present invention can also be applied to plastic substrates. The insulating layer 20 serves to prevent elution of substances in the substrate 10, such as a glass substrate alkaline substance that may be produced in a subsequent process. In general, the first insulating layer 20 is formed by depositing cerium oxide (SiO) or tantalum nitride L·. The first insulating layer 20 can be generally formed to a thickness of 2000 A to 5000 A. However, the thickness is not limited to these values. Depending on the degree of research and development, the amorphous germanium film 3 can be formed directly on the substrate 099112329 Form No. A0101 Page 11 of 26 0993293765-0 201100565 Plate 10 without the first insulating layer 20. Since the method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention can be applied to such a structure, it should be construed that the scope of the present invention encompasses such a structure. In other words, the 'first insulating layer 20' can be selectively applied to the present invention depending on the environment or conditions under which the process is performed. The amorphous # film 30 may be formed by low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LP-CVD) 'high pressure chemical vapor deposition (HPCVD), plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition CPECVD), La, or vacuum slit, for example, and Preferably, PECVD is used. Generally, the thickness of the amorphous germanium film 30 is preferably 300 A to 1 A. The thickness of the method is not limited to this exemplary embodiment. Some portions of the amorphous iridium film 3〇 are in contact with the conductive film 5〇 or the electrode 6〇 to be crystallized by the Joule hot surface generated by applying an electric field. The first insulating layer 40 is used to prevent the amorphous germanium film. 30 is contaminated by the conductive film 5 G and electrically insulating the amorphous film 3 Q and the conductive film 50 during an annealing process. Similarly, δ, the second insulating layer 4〇 may be composed of the same material as the first insulating layer 2, and any material having a small influence on the amorphous germanium film 30, having a dielectric property and a high melting point may be used. The electroconductive thin film 5G is a thin film of a conductive material, and can be formed by secret, steaming, or the like. Preferably, the electroconductive thin film 5 has a uniform thickness such that the electroconductive thin film 50 can be uniformly heated during Joule heating which is subsequently performed by applying an electric field. The components 1〇, 2〇, 3〇, 4〇, and 50 or at least the substrate 10 may be preheated to an appropriate temperature range before an electric field is applied to the conductive film 50. The proper temperature range means the temperature at which the substrate will not be damaged during the entire process. The preheating method is not limited to the range of 0993293765-0 and is preferably lower than the heat deflection temperature of the substrate 10 099112329, the form number Α0101, page 12/26 pages 201100565, and for example, the substrate 10 can be introduced into a general heat treatment furnace, Heated by a lamp, or the like. As described above, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, when an electric field is applied to the conductive film 50 to produce a poly-Si film, a positive or negative potential voltage is applied to a region to be crystallized. It is approximately centered and grounded at both ends. Among them, the position at which the positive or negative potential voltage is applied is preferably set in the middle of both ends of the ground. ❹ When the position where the positive or negative potential voltage is applied is biased to one of the two ends, the crystallization does not occur uniformly, and different characteristics are obtained depending on the position. The above method can also be used to crystallize a small area, but Efficiently used to crystallize a large area. When the crystallization is carried out by a conventional method of applying an electric field to both ends, as the area to be crystallized increases, the number of times the electric field is applied must be increased, or a voltage higher than that in the case of a small area must be applied. ❹ When an electric field is applied repeatedly, the electric field must be applied at intervals of a few seconds to prevent inconsistencies due to accumulated heat. Therefore, the more the number of applied electric fields, the longer the total processing time for crystallization. Further, in order to apply a high voltage, it is necessary to replace a device for applying a low voltage with a device capable of outputting a high voltage, and thus the production cost is increased. This is because each voltage applying device has its maximum output voltage, and the device for applying a low voltage cannot apply a high voltage. Further, when a high voltage is applied, crystallization is completed by high heat, which may damage a conductive film. When the conductive film is damaged, the stability of 099112329 cannot be ensured. Therefore, the conductive film must be a material that is not damaged by high heat. Form No. A0101 Page 13 of 26 0993293765-0 201100565 Material, and must be composed of a material different from the conventional material, which increases the production cost. When an amorphous germanium film or a portion of the amorphous germanium film is electrically conductive and a potential difference between the amorphous germanium film and a conductive film becomes greater than a breakdown voltage of the insulating layer, an arc is generated. Therefore, when a voltage is applied, the potential difference between the amorphous thin film 3 〇 and the conductive film $ 加大 is increased. In order to avoid arcing, the breakdown voltage of the insulating layer interposed between the amorphous germanium film 3A and the conductive film 50 must be increased, and thus the material properties must be changed. Also, when a high voltage is applied, the high potential seat may cause a serious influence on the equipment installed outside the compartment through the outer wall of the compartment in which the crystallization process is performed. Therefore, the compartment must also use high-performance equipment to prevent dielectric breakdown even at high voltages, which increases equipment cost and production cost. However, with the manufacturing method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to form a polycrystal having the same characteristics as a polycrystalline film formed at a high voltage even if a low voltage is applied. Dream film. Therefore, the processing and time can be shortened. In addition, there is no need to apply a high voltage, and there is no need for equipment replacement or material changes in conductive films, compartments, insulation layers, etc., thereby reducing equipment costs and production costs. As shown in FIG. 1, the conductive film 5 is formed on the upper surface of the second insulating layer 40, and is formed in a gap provided at the center and both ends of the second insulating layer 4, and is formed on the second insulating layer 4.
