Specifically, a substrate 10 is provided, and the substrate 10 is, for example, a transparent hard or soft substrate, and the material is not limited herein. A first metal layer 20 is formed on a substrate 10, and the first metal layer 20 is patterned by a photolithography process to form a shielding layer 21, wherein the photolithography process mainly includes the steps of film deposition, photoresist coating, exposure, development, etching, photoresist stripping, and the like, which are well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described herein. The shielding layer 21 may include one or more of molybdenum, aluminum, copper, and titanium, and may also include an alloy composed of at least two of the above metals.
Further, when the first metal layer 20 is etched to form the shielding layer 21, the scan lines 22 are also formed at the same time, and the scan lines 22 (see fig. 2) are spaced apart from the shielding layer 21.
As shown in fig. 1b, a first insulating buffer layer 30 is formed on the substrate 10, and the first insulating buffer layer 30 covers the blocking layer 21.
The material of the first insulating buffer layer 30 may be silicon nitride (SiN) x ) Silicon oxide (SiO) x ) Silicon oxynitride (SiO) x N y ) Aluminum oxide (AlO) x ) Etc. or silicon oxide (SiO) x ) Silicon oxynitride (SiO) x N y ) Aluminum oxide (AlO) x ) And silicon nitride (SiN) x ) A plurality of them are combined to form a multilayer composite material.
As shown in fig. 1c, an oxide semiconductor thin film is formed on the first insulating buffer layer 30, and the oxide semiconductor thin film is patterned by a photolithography process to form a metal oxide layer 40.
The metal oxide layer 40 is correspondingly formed above the shielding layer 21, the position of the shielding layer 21 corresponds to the position of the metal oxide layer 40, and the projection of the metal oxide layer 40 on the substrate 10 is located in the projection range of the shielding layer 21 on the substrate 10. The shielding layer 21 can effectively reduce the negative bias of the threshold voltage of the metal oxide thin film transistor caused by light irradiation, and effectively improve the stability of the device.

Typical oxide semiconductor materials are Indium Zinc Oxide (IZO), lanthanide rare earth doped indium zinc oxide (Ln-IZO), Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide (IGZO), Indium Tin Zinc Oxide (ITZO), Indium Gallium Zinc Tin Oxide (IGZTO), and the like. Preferably, the material of the metal oxide layer 40 is amorphous Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide (IGZO), Indium Zinc Oxide (IZO), or lanthanide rare earth doped indium zinc oxide (Ln-IZO).
As shown in fig. 1d, a second insulating buffer layer 50 covering the metal oxide layer 40 is formed on the first insulating buffer layer 30, and a first photoresist pattern 210 and a second photoresist pattern 220 are formed on the second insulating buffer layer 50, wherein the first photoresist pattern 210 and the second photoresist pattern 220 are correspondingly located on the metal oxide layer 40, and the thickness of the first photoresist pattern 210 is greater than that of the second photoresist pattern 220.
Specifically, the method of forming the first and second photoresist patterns 210 and 220 includes: a photoresist layer is coated on the second insulating buffer layer 50, and the photoresist layer is exposed and developed using a half-tone mask 300(half-tone mask) so that the first photoresist pattern 210 and the second photoresist pattern 220 are left on the photoresist layer, and the second insulating buffer layer 50 is exposed in other regions where no photoresist is left.
The half-tone mask 300 includes an opaque region 310, a semi-opaque region 320, and a full-opaque region 330, wherein the opaque region 310, the semi-opaque region 320, and the full-opaque region 330 correspond to the first photoresist pattern 210, the second photoresist pattern 220, and a region where no photoresist is to be left, respectively. After exposure and development, the photoresist layer only leaves the first photoresist pattern 210 and the second photoresist pattern 220, and the thickness of the first photoresist pattern 210 is greater than that of the second photoresist pattern 220.

As shown in fig. 1e, the second insulating buffer layer 50, the first photoresist pattern 210 and the second photoresist pattern 220 are etched, and the first photoresist pattern 210, the exposed second insulating buffer layer 50 (i.e. the portion not covered by the first photoresist pattern 210 and the second photoresist pattern 220) and the portion of the second insulating buffer layer 50 under the first photoresist pattern 210 are removed, so that the second insulating buffer layer 50 under the first photoresist pattern 210 and the second photoresist pattern 220 form a first insulating pattern 51 and a second insulating pattern 52 with different thicknesses after etching, wherein the thickness of the second insulating pattern 52 is less than that of the first insulating pattern 51.
Since the thickness of the first photoresist pattern 210 is greater than that of the second photoresist pattern 220, the first photoresist pattern 210 is thinned during the etching process, the first insulation pattern 51 remains the original thickness under the protection of the first photoresist pattern 210, and the second insulation buffer layer 50 under the second photoresist pattern 220 is continuously etched and thinned after the second photoresist pattern 220 is completely etched, so that the thickness of the second insulation pattern 52 is less than that of the first insulation pattern 51.
As shown in fig. 1f, the first photoresist pattern 210 over the first insulating pattern 51 is removed.
As shown in fig. 1g, the metal oxide layer 40 is ion-doped using the first insulating pattern 51 and the second insulating pattern 52 as a mask, so that a region of the metal oxide layer 40 not shielded by the first insulating pattern 51 and the second insulating pattern 52 is converted from a semiconductor to a conductor to form a first conductor region 41.
As shown in fig. 1h, a second metal layer is formed and is patterned by etching, such that the second metal layer forms a source electrode 61, a drain electrode 62 and a gate electrode 63 which are spaced apart from each other, wherein the source electrode 61 and the drain electrode 62 are both connected in contact with the first conductor region 41 of the metal oxide layer 40, and the gate electrode 63 is disposed above the first insulation pattern 51.
Furthermore, a data line 64 is formed when the second metal layer is etched and patterned, and the data line 64 is electrically connected with the source electrode 61.
In the embodiment, the halftone mask 300 is used to complete the patterning of the first insulating pattern 51 and the second insulating pattern 52 with different thicknesses, the first insulating pattern 51 and the second insulating pattern 52 with different thicknesses are used to dope ions into the metal oxide layer 40, and protect the metal oxide layer 40 when forming the source electrode 61, the drain electrode 62, and the gate electrode 63, and the whole process does not need to use multiple masks, thereby saving the process steps, reducing the manufacturing cost, and improving the production efficiency.
As shown in fig. 1i, the second insulating pattern 52 is etched and removed by using the source electrode 61, the drain electrode 62 and the gate electrode 63 as a mask, so that a portion of the metal oxide layer 40 under the second insulating pattern 52 is exposed, and the gate insulating layer 53 is formed by remaining the first insulating pattern 51.
As shown in fig. 1j, the exposed portion of the metal oxide layer 40 is ion-doped to be converted into a conductor, thereby forming a second conductor region 42. The portion of the metal oxide layer 40 that is not conductor-ized under the first insulating pattern 51 forms a semiconductor region 43 (i.e., an active layer) of the metal oxide thin film transistor.
The first conductor region 41 and the second conductor region 42 formed by the metal oxide layer 4 by the conductor formation have a function similar to a Lightly Doped Drain (LDD), that is, a low Doped Drain region is disposed near the Drain in the channel of the active layer, and the low Doped Drain region is also subjected to a partial voltage to weaken the electric field of the Drain, thereby preventing the hot electron degradation effect.
