Test Example: Characteristic Evaluation of Etchant Composition
<Evaluation of etching characteristics>
A substrate on which ITO / Al-La-Ni / Mo triplet deposited on the glass and patterned with a photoresist in a certain shape was used. The etchant compositions of Examples 1 to 5 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 were placed in an experimental apparatus (SEMES, model name: ETCHER (TFT)) of a spray-type etching system, and the temperature was set to 40 ° C. Then, after reaching a temperature of 40 +/- 0.1 DEG C, an etching process was performed. The total etching time was 60% based on the EPD. When the etching was completed, the test piece was injected. After the etching was completed, the substrate was washed with deionized water, dried using a hot air drying apparatus, and photoresist was removed using a photoresist (PR) stripper. After cleaning and drying, the inclination angle, side etch (CD (criMocal dimension) loss, etch residue and underlying film damage were evaluated using an electron microscope (SEM; model name: S-4700, The results are shown in Table 2 and Figs.
[Evaluation Criteria of Etching Profile]
⊚: very good (CD Skew: ≤1 μm, Taper Angle: 45 ° to 80 °)
?: Excellent (CD Skew:? 1.5 m, Taper Angle: 45 to 80)
?: Good (CD Skew:? 2 mu m, Taper Angle: 45 to 80)
X: Bad (metal film disappearance and residue)
