- a liquid crystal display using amorphous silicon as a channel layer of the thin film transistor As a liquid crystal display driven by a thin film transistor, a liquid crystal display using amorphous silicon as a channel layer of the thin film transistor has become the mainstream.
- a channel layer employing amorphous silicon it is becoming increasingly difficult to achieve high requirements for liquid crystal displays.
- an oxide semiconductor has attracted attention as a material for a channel layer that replaces amorphous silicon.
- oxide semiconductors can be deposited by sputtering, providing excellent film homogeneity, increasing the size of liquid crystal displays, It has the potential to meet the demand for refinement.
- oxide semiconductors have higher carrier mobility than amorphous silicon, they are advantageous for high-speed switching of images, and also have very low off-state leakage current, reducing power consumption (saving power) Can be expected.
- the sputtering method can form a film at a lower temperature than the chemical vapor deposition method, there is an advantage that a material having poor heat resistance can be selected as a material constituting the thin film transistor.
- oxide semiconductor suitable for a channel layer of a liquid crystal display for example, indium gallium zinc composite oxide (hereinafter referred to as “IGZO”), zinc tin composite oxide (hereinafter referred to as “ZTO”), and the like are known. ing.
- IGZO indium gallium zinc composite oxide
- ZTO zinc tin composite oxide
- an N-type thin film transistor using IGZO is disclosed (for example, see Patent Document 1). Further, a target made of a ZTO sintered body and an oxide semiconductor film using the target are disclosed (for example, see Patent Documents 2 to 4 and Non-Patent Document 2).
- oxide semiconductors such as IGZO and ZTO have a tendency to deteriorate as a semiconductor film when exposed to ultraviolet light or the like, and to deteriorate TFT characteristics when a TFT is manufactured.
- oxide semiconductors such as IGZO and ZTO have a tendency to deteriorate as a semiconductor film when exposed to ultraviolet light or the like, and to deteriorate TFT characteristics when a TFT is manufactured.
- the oxide semiconductor film as described above has been actively developed for practical use.
- a liquid crystal display is manufactured using a thin film transistor that employs this oxide semiconductor film as a channel layer, there are the following problems caused by the manufacturing process.
- IGZO dissolves in a metal etching solution at a rate equivalent to that of metal, only the conductive film cannot be selectively etched while leaving a channel layer made of IGZO.
- providing an etch stop layer for the purpose of preventing dissolution of the channel layer increases the number of manufacturing steps compared to a conventional liquid crystal display employing amorphous silicon for the channel layer. This is not preferable in terms of process simplification and cost.
- the channel layer may be irradiated with strong ultraviolet light. Further, when used as a liquid crystal display, visible light from the light source passes through the channel layer. Therefore, it is desirable that the characteristics of the thin film transistor do not change even when the channel layer formed using the oxide semiconductor film is irradiated with ultraviolet light or visible light.
- Non-patent Document 1 it is known that when a thin film transistor using IGZO for the channel layer is irradiated with ultraviolet light, the drain current generation threshold voltage shifts to the negative side or the leakage current increases (for example, the above-mentioned Non-patent document 1). This is because a deep defect order exists in the band gap in the band structure of IGZO, and light in the region from ultraviolet light to visible light having a photon energy lower than the photon energy corresponding to this band gap is absorbed. This is considered to be because carriers are generated and affect the characteristics of the thin film transistor (for example, see Non-Patent Document 2 above).
- the threshold voltage for generating the drain current of the thin film transistor shifts to the negative side, it becomes difficult to control the switching of the pixel electrode connected to the thin film transistor. Further, when the leakage current increases, the power consumption of the liquid crystal display increases. These phenomena may be alleviated by annealing after irradiating light. However, there are many cases where the recovery effect cannot be obtained depending on the manufacturing process such as after the formation of the protective film, leading to deterioration of the reliability of the thin film transistor when the liquid crystal display is used. Further, in the manufacturing process of the liquid crystal display for forming the alignment film, the channel layer may be permanently damaged by irradiation with high-intensity ultraviolet light.

Abstract
Description
薄膜トランジスタの製造工程には、酸化物半導体膜からなるチャネル層を形成した後、金属からなる導電膜を成膜し、金属用のエッチング液で導電膜をエッチングすることによりソース電極及びドレイン電極を形成する工程がある。
フォトリソグラフィを用いて薄膜トランジスタのパターニングを行なう工程や、液晶分子を予め配向させる配向膜を形成する工程などにおいて、チャネル層に強い紫外光が照射されることがある。また、液晶ディスプレイとしての使用時には、光源からの可視光がチャネル層を透過する。このため、酸化物半導体膜からなるチャネル層が紫外光や可視光の照射を受けても、薄膜トランジスタの特性が変化しないことが望ましい。
<1> 亜鉛、錫、酸素、及び、酸化物焼結体の全質量に対する含有比が0.005質量%~0.2質量%であるアルミニウムを含み、前記酸化物焼結体の全質量に対する珪素の含有比が0.03質量%未満(0質量%を含む)である酸化物焼結体からなる酸化物半導体ターゲットである。
<2> 前記酸化物焼結体は、亜鉛(Zn)及び錫(Sn)の合計量に対する亜鉛の比率(Zn/(Zn+Sn))が原子比率で0.52を超えて0.8以下である前記<1>に記載の酸化物半導体ターゲットである。
<3> 前記酸化物焼結体は、更に、珪素をアルミニウムの含有量を超えない範囲の含有量で含み、アルミニウム及び珪素の含有量の合計が、前記酸化物焼結体の全質量に対する含有比で0.1質量%以下である前記<1>又は前記<2>に記載の酸化物半導体ターゲットである。
<4> アルミニウムの含有比が、酸化物焼結体の全質量に対して0.005質量%~0.2質量%であり、かつ珪素の含有比が、酸化物焼結体の全質量に対して0.001質量%~0.02質量%である前記<1>~前記<3>のいずれか1つに記載の酸化物半導体ターゲットである。
<8> 前記変化幅が0以上+1.5V以下である前記<7>に記載の薄膜トランジスタ。
本発明の酸化物半導体ターゲットは、亜鉛、錫、酸素、及び、酸化物焼結体の全質量に対する含有比が0.005質量%~0.2質量%であるアルミニウム、を含有する酸化物焼結体で構成されている。本発明の酸化物半導体ターゲットを構成する酸化物焼結体は、珪素を含まなくてもよく、更に珪素を酸化物焼結体の全質量に対する含有比で0.03質量%未満の範囲で含有してもよい。また、更に上記以外の元素や化合物を、必要に応じて含んでいてもよい。また、上記以外の元素や化合物は、原料や製造工程に由来して不可避的に含まれるものであってもよい。
本発明の酸化物半導体膜は、電極等のエッチング加工時に触れるエッチング液に対して適度の耐性を有し、かつ、チャネル層形成時にはエッチング加工性に優れるとともに、光照射に対する耐性をそなえ、製造工程上生じやすいVg-Id特性の低下も抑制されている。これは、既述の通り、所定の酸化物焼結体からなる本発明の酸化物半導体ターゲットを用いて形成された膜であるので、亜鉛、錫、酸素、及び、酸化物焼結体の全質量に対する含有比が0.005質量%~0.2質量%であるアルミニウムを含む酸化物焼結体の組成と同様の組成を有していると考えられるためである。なお、酸化物半導体膜に含まれるアルミニウムやその他の微量元素について、実際にその含有量を正確に測定することは困難である。
