Technical Field

The invention belongs to the technical field of display back plates, and particularly relates to a high-performance double-gate LTPO panel structure and a preparation process thereof.

Background

In recent years, a low-temperature polysilicon oxide LTPO thin film transistor is widely concerned in the active matrix organic light emitting diode display back panel technology, among metal oxide TFTs, amorphous indium gallium zinc oxide a-IGZOTFT is most popular at present, the oxide thin film transistor has ultralow off-leakage current smaller than 10-14A and higher mobility exceeding 10cm2/V.s, can realize low-frequency driving and reduce power consumption, and can be manufactured at low temperature with lower manufacturing cost; on the other hand, the LTPS TFT has high mobility and excellent stability, and is easy to realize the manufacture of an ultrahigh-resolution display panel, but the off-state current of the LTPS TFT is high and is between 10 and 12A, low-frequency driving cannot be realized, so that the power consumption of the panel is high, two-side profit can be realized by mixing the two TFT technologies, the panel with high resolution and capable of realizing low-frequency driving is produced, and the high-quality display effect and the low power consumption can be realized.

In general, LTPS-TFT and metal oxide TFT backplane processes are incompatible, LTPS-TFT requires a large number of hydrogen atoms to passivate dangling bonds and defects inside the poly-Si and at the interface of the poly-Si and the gate insulator, however, excessive hydrogen gas can cause an imbalance between oxygen vacancies and metal oxygen bonds, resulting in an oxide TFT device threshold voltage Vth shift; this Vth shift phenomenon will be more pronounced at low display drive frequencies due to the increased negative bias applied to the metal oxide switching TFT; the metal oxide switching TFT needs to be robust enough to exhibit a minimum threshold voltage Vth shift to reduce image degradation.

Researches find that the double-gate driven a-IGZO TFT not only obviously improves the stability of the device, but also obtains higher drain current and stronger subthreshold slope while keeping lower turn-off current, and is superior to a single-gate driven device; in order to improve the stability of the oxide transistor in the LTPO thin film transistor and further improve the electron mobility of the oxide transistor, the on-state current Ion of the device and the like.
