発明の名称 (英語) | Method for manufacturing thin film transistor with oxide semiconductor channel |
発明の概要(英語) | A thin film transistor 100 according to the invention includes a gate electrode 20, a channel 44, and a gate insulating layer 34 provided between the gate electrode 20 and the channel 44 and made of oxide (possibly containing inevitable impurities; this applies to oxide hereinafter) containing lanthanum and zirconium. The channel 44 is made of channel oxide including first oxide containing indium, zinc, and zirconium (Zr) having an atomic ratio of 0.015 or more and 0.075 or less relative to indium assumed to be 1 in atomic ratio, second oxide containing indium and zirconium (Zr) having an atomic ratio of 0.055 or more and 0.16 or less relative to the indium (In) assumed to be 1 in atomic ratio, or third oxide containing indium and lanthanum having an atomic ratio of 0.055 or more and 0.16 or less relative to the indium (In) assumed to be 1 in atomic ratio. |

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally disclosed is a thin film transistor that includes a gate insulating layer made of a ferroelectric material (e.g. BLT (Bi4-XLaXTi3O12) or PZT (Pb(ZrX, Ti1-X)O3)) in order to enable rapid switching at a low drive voltage. Meanwhile, also disclosed in order to increase carrier density is a thin film transistor that includes a channel made of an oxide conductive material (e.g. indium tin oxide (ITO), zinc oxide (ZnO), or LSCO (LaXSr1-XCuO4)) (Patent Document 1). In a method for manufacturing the thin film transistor mentioned above, a gate electrode of laminated films made of Ti and Pt is formed in accordance with an electron-beam evaporation technique. The gate insulating layer made of BLT or PZT is formed on the gate electrode in accordance with a sol-gel technique. The channel made of ITO is further formed on the gate insulating layer in accordance with a RF-sputtering technique. Subsequently formed on the channel are Ti and Pt serving as a source electrode and a drain electrode in accordance with an electron-beam evaporation technique. An element region is then isolated from a different element region in accordance with a RIE technique and a wet etching technique (using a mixed solution of HF and HCI) (Patent Document 1). The inventors of this application have studied selection and combination of oxide that appropriately exhibits functions as a thin film transistor (Patent Document 2). |
