20110024761 | INTERCONNECTION STRUCTURE, A THIN FILM TRANSISTOR SUBSTRATE, AND A MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF, AS WELL AS A DISPLAY DEVICE - Provided is a direct contact technology by which a barrier metal layer between an Al alloy interconnection composed of pure Al or an Al alloy and a semiconductor layer can be eliminated and the Al alloy interconnection can be directly and surely connected to the semiconductor layer within a wide process margin. In an interconnection structure, the semiconductor layer, and the Al alloy film composed of the pure Al or the Al alloy are provided on the substrate in this order from the substrate side. A multilayer structure of an (N, C, F) layer containing at least one type of an element selected from among a group composed of nitrogen, carbon and fluorine, and an Al—Si diffusion layer containing Al and Si is included in this order from the substrate side, between the semiconductor layer and the Al alloy film. At least the one type of the element, i.e., nitrogen, carbon or fluorine contained in the (N, C, F) layer is bonded with Si contained in the semiconductor layer. | 02-03-2011 |
