具体实施方式Detailed ways
为使熟习本发明所属技术领域的一般技艺者能更进一步了解本发明,下文特列举本发明的较佳实施例,并配合所附图式,详细说明本发明的构成内容及所欲达成的功效。In order to enable those who are familiar with the technical field of the present invention to further understand the present invention, the preferred embodiments of the present invention are listed below, together with the attached drawings, to describe in detail the composition of the present invention and the desired effects .
请参考图1。图1绘示了本发明的一较佳实施例的电容式触控装置的示意图。图1仅为示意以更容易了解本发明,其详细的比例可依照设计的需求进行调整。在本实施例中,电容式触控装置可为一具有触控输入及显示双重功能的电容式触控显示面板,亦即电容式触控感测单元系整合于一显示面板例如一液晶显示面板的制程中,但并不以此为限。举例而言,电容式触控装置亦可单纯具有触控输入功能的电容式触控基板,并可利用贴附方式与一显示面板组合而形成一电容式触控显示面板。如图1所示,本实施例的电容式触控装置10包括一显示面板12、一触控感测单元14设置于显示面板12上,以及多个静电防护元件例如浮动栅极静电防护元件20设置于显示面板12上。显示面板12上定义出一感测区(sensing region)12S。值得说明的是若电容式触控装置10为单纯具有触控输入功能的电容式触控基板,则显示面板12可由一基板或是一基材,例如一玻璃基板、一塑胶基板或一印刷电路板等加以替换,应用于其它需要触控输入的装置上。触控感测单元14系设置于显示面板12的感测区12S内,且触控感测单元14包括多条沿一第一方向(如图1的垂直方向)设置的第一感测串列16,以及多条沿一第二方向(如图1所示的水平方向)设置的第二感测串列18。各第一感测串列16包括彼此互相电连接的多个第一感测垫16S,且各第二感测串列18包括彼此互相电连接的多个第二感测垫18S,藉此当进行触控输入时,使用者的手指或其它输入装置可与对应的部分第一感测垫16S与第二感测垫18S形成电容,而达到触控输入的效果。浮动栅极静电防护元件20系设置于感测区12S内,且各浮动栅极静电防护元件20系分别设置位于相邻但未电连接的两个第一感测垫16S与相邻但未电连接的两个第二感测垫18S之间。浮动栅极静电防护元件20具有静电防护功能,下文将详述浮动栅极静电防护元件20的结构及其静电防护原理。Please refer to Figure 1. FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of a capacitive touch device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is only a schematic diagram for easier understanding of the present invention, and its detailed proportions can be adjusted according to design requirements. In this embodiment, the capacitive touch device can be a capacitive touch display panel with dual functions of touch input and display, that is, the capacitive touch sensing unit is integrated in a display panel such as a liquid crystal display panel In the manufacturing process, but not limited to this. For example, the capacitive touch device can also simply have a capacitive touch substrate with a touch input function, and can be combined with a display panel by an attachment method to form a capacitive touch display panel. As shown in FIG. 1 , the capacitive touch device 10 of this embodiment includes a
请继续参考图2与图3,其为图1位于浮动栅极静电防护元件的区域放大示意图,并一并参考图1。图2绘示了本实施例的感测区浮动栅极静电防护元件的上视示意图,图3绘示了本实施例的感测区浮动栅极静电防护元件沿图2的A-A’剖线的剖面示意图。如图2与图3所示,各浮动栅极静电防护元件20包括一导电图案层(例如一金属图案层)22、一介电层24、一半导体图案层(例如一非晶硅层)26,连接相邻的第一感测垫16S或是第二感测垫18S。此外,一绝缘层28可覆盖于浮动栅极静电防护元件20与相邻的第一感测垫16S及第二感测垫18S上,达到保护的效果。各浮动栅极静电防护元件20的半导体图案层26分别与相邻但未电连接的两个第一感测垫16S以及与相邻但未电连接的两个第二感测垫18S接触并部分重迭。导电图案层22分别与第一感测垫16S以及第二感测垫18S部分重迭。在本实施例中,导电图案层22系位于显示面板12上、介电层24系位于导电图案层22上、半导体图案层26系位于介电层24上、第一感测垫16S与第二感测垫18S系位于半导体图案层26上,且绝缘层28系覆盖于第一感测垫16S、第二感测垫18S与半导体图案层26上。介电层24的材料可为各式有机或无机的介电材料,且以low-k介电材料为较佳,藉此可降低静电可能造成的损害。此外,介电层24的厚度可视需要作调整,且介电层24亦可制作成图案层,达到覆盖导电图案层22即可。在本实施例的浮动栅极静电防护元件20中,导电图案层22系发挥栅极的作用、介电层24系发挥栅极介电层的作用、半导体图案层26系作为通道之用,而相邻但未电连接的两个第一感测垫16S以及与相邻但未电连接的两个第二感测垫18S则作为源极/漏极。藉由浮动栅极静电防护元件20的设置,当电容式触控装置10因摩擦或其它不可预期因素而使得静电荷累积在触控感测单元14时,大量的静电荷会诱发(induce)浮动栅极静电防护元件20的开启,也就是说第一感测垫16S或第二感测垫18S上大量的静电荷会耦合导电图案层22形成电位,因而开启半导体图案层26,使浮动栅极静电防护元件20得以开启。此时累积在某特定第一感测垫16S或第二感测垫18S的静电荷可快速地传导至相邻的第一感测垫16S或第二感测垫18S,而若静电荷的量仍然过多时,相邻的浮动栅极静电防护元件20仍会被诱发而开启而使静电荷继续向相邻的第一感测垫16S或第二感测垫18S传导。如此一来,可避免过大的静电将用以连接相邻两个第一感测垫16S的桥接线16B,或是用以连接相邻两个第二感测垫18S的桥接线18B烧断,而达到静电防护的功效。Please continue to refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , which are enlarged schematic diagrams of the area of the floating gate ESD protection device in FIG. 1 , and refer to FIG. 1 together.
