Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, if Figure 4 As shown, since the bottom-gate, bottom-contact thin film transistor has a structure in which the source / drain electrodes 109 are disposed on the gate insulating film 107, the steps of forming the source / drain electrodes 109 will affect the gate insulating film 107. s surface
Therefore, for example, when the gate insulating film 107 is made of an organic material, the gate insulating film 107 will become exposed to the organic solvent used to remove the resist pattern forming the source / drain electrode 109 pattern, and become Because it is difficult to maintain the film quality of the surface layer forming the interface with the thin film semiconductor layer 111
Furthermore, such degradation of the interface between the gate insulating film 107 and the thin film semiconductor layer 111 will become a factor causing problems such as threshold shift, mobility drop, etc.

For example, the formation of the gate electrode 5 is performed by forming a metal film and patterning and etching the metal film using a resist pattern formed by photolithography as a mask. The metal film can be formed by a film forming method suitable for the material.

[0019] In the case of metal films such as Al, Cu, Au, Ni, W, Mo, etc., sputtering deposition can be used. In addition, in the case of metal films such as Au, Ag, Ni, Pd, Cr, etc., plating deposition and vapor deposition can be used.

Abstract

Provided is a method for fabricating a bottom gate / bottom contact type thin film semiconductor device (1) which can maintain the boundary between a gate insulation film and a thin film semiconductor layer in a preferable state without being affected by a source / drain electrode and accordingly, can have a preferable characteristic in spite of the fine structure. A first gate insulation film (7-1) is formed in a state to cover a gate electrode (5) formed on a substrate (3). A pair of source / drain electrode (9) is formed on the first gate insulation film (7-1). After this, a second gate insulation film (7-2) is selectively formed only on thefirst insulation film (7-1) exposed from the source / drain electrode (9). Next, a thin film semiconductor layer (11) is formed in contact with the source / drain electrode (9) so as to continuously cover the source / drain electrode (9), the second gate insulation film (7-2), and the first gate insulation film (7-1).

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a thin film semiconductor device and a thin film semiconductor device, in particular to a method for manufacturing a bottom gate type thin film semiconductor device using an organic semiconductor layer, and the thin film semiconductor device obtained therefrom. Background technique [0002] Thin film transistors are widely used as driving elements in thin electronic substrates, which are particularly active matrix thin display devices. In recent years, semiconductor devices using organic semiconductors as active layers have attracted attention. Since the active layer composed of an organic semiconductor can be formed by low-temperature coating and can be formed on a flexible substrate (for example, plastic, etc.) that does not have thermal resistance, a semiconductor device using an organic semiconductor has an advantage in cost reduction. Not only the active layer, but the gate insulating film, t...
