Description

Manufacturing method of array substrate for liquid crystal display device {MANUFACTURING METHOD OF AN ARRAY SUBSTRATE FOR LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY}

The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing an array substrate for a liquid crystal display device.

The process of forming a metal wiring on a substrate in a liquid crystal display device is usually composed of a metal film forming process by sputtering or the like, a photoresist coating process, a photoresist forming process in an optional region by exposure and development, and a step by an etching process And a cleaning process before and after the individual unit process. This etching process refers to a process of leaving a metal film in a selective region using a photoresist as a mask. Typically, dry etching using plasma or wet etching using an etching composition is used.

In such a liquid crystal display device, resistance of metal wiring has recently emerged as a major concern. This is because solving the RC signal delay problem in TFT-LCD (thin film transistor-liquid crystal display) is a key factor in increasing the panel size and realizing the high resolution, because resistance is a major factor causing RC signal delay. Therefore, it is essential to develop a low-resistance material in order to realize reduction of the RC signal delay, which is indispensably required for enlarging the TFT-LCD.

Chromium (Cr, resistivity: 12.7 × 10 -8 Ωm), molybdenum (Mo, resistivity: 5 × 10 -8 Ωm), aluminum (Al, resistivity: 2.65 × 10 -8 Ωm) and alloys thereof, which have been mainly used in the past Because of the large silver resistance, it is difficult to use as a gate and data wiring used in a large TFT LCD. Therefore, a copper-based metal film such as a copper film and a copper molybdenum film and an etchant composition therefor are attracting attention as a low resistance metal film. However, since the copper-based etching liquid compositions known to date do not meet the performance required by the user, research and development for improving performance are required.

Meanwhile, in the case of the conventional copper film etching solution using hydrogen peroxide, batch wet etching and pattern formation of a multilayer metal film made of copper or a copper alloy and molybdenum or molybdenum alloy is possible. However, there is a problem that the stability of the etching solution is greatly reduced due to the overheating phenomenon as the decomposition rate of hydrogen peroxide is accelerated by metal ions, especially copper ions, dissolved during metal layer etching. In addition, in the case of a multi-layered metal film, as the concentration of dissolved metal ions increases, the difference in the etching rate of the copper layer caused by hydrogen peroxide, the etching rate difference of the molybdenum alloy layer caused by the fluorine compound, and the effect of the electrical effect are deformed to the interface where the two metal layers are bonded. There occurs a problem that the etching characteristics are not good.

For example, Korean Patent No. 10-1002338 discloses an etchant for collectively etching a copper metal layer and a transparent conductive layer including nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, hydrogen peroxide, and an azole compound. However, in the case of the patent, there is a disadvantage in that the damage to the copper metal layer due to hydrochloric acid is difficult to use.

The A) hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) is included in the amount of 5.0 to 25.0% by weight, preferably 15.0 to 23.0% by weight based on the total weight of the composition. When included below the above-mentioned range, the copper-based metal film is not etched or the etching rate is very slow. If it is included in the above-mentioned range, process control is difficult because the etching speed is increased overall.

B) fluorine-containing compound included in the etchant composition of the present invention means a compound capable of dissociating in water to give fluorine ions. The B) fluorine-containing compound is a main component for etching the indium oxide-based metal film, and serves to remove residues inevitably generated in a solution for simultaneously etching the copper-based metal film and the metal oxide film.

In addition, by lowering the pH to suppress the activity of copper ions, the decomposition reaction of A) hydrogen peroxide is suppressed.

The D) inorganic acid is included in 0.5 to 3.0% by weight, preferably 1.0 to 2.0% by weight relative to the total amount of the composition. When included in less than the above-described range, the etching rate is lowered.

(Note) ○: Good, △: Normal, Х: Poor

Referring to Table 2, the etchant compositions of Examples 1 to 7 all exhibited good etching characteristics.

Therefore, it can be seen that the etchant composition of the present invention is very suitable for etching copper-based metal films and metal oxide films, and is also very bonded to these batch etchings.

In addition, even when 3000 ppm of Cu was eluted, the etching liquid compositions of Examples 1 to 7 rose only up to a maximum of 35.1 ° C., which showed greatly improved superheat stability. On the other hand, in Comparative Example 1, in which the inorganic acid was not added, Cu was not etched due to the high pH range (pH 4 to 6), and the addition of the inorganic acid did not dissolve even when the Cu powder corresponding to 3000 ppm Cu was dissolved. You can confirm that it is essential. In Comparative Example 2, in which the nitric acid content presented in the present invention corresponds to 0.2% by weight, which is lower than 0.5% by weight, the profile was not good due to the too slow etching speed and the overheat stability was not secured. In addition, in the case of Comparative Example 3 corresponding to 5.0 wt% of the nitric acid content is too high, it can be seen that the pattern out phenomenon occurs due to the rapid etching rate and PR lifting phenomenon is not suitable as an etchant composition. In Comparative Example 4, in which the fluorine-containing compound was not included, the etching characteristics were not very good.

1 is a photograph showing an etching profile of a Cu / ITO double layer etched using the etchant composition of Example 4. FIG. Figure 2 is a photograph showing the straightness of the Cu / ITO double layer etched using the etchant composition of Example 4.

1 and 2, Cu / ITO etched with the etchant composition according to Example 4 showed a good taper profile. And, the etching straightness was excellent.

3 is a photograph showing an etching profile of a Cu / ITO double layer etched using the etchant composition of Comparative Example 4. Figure 4 is a photograph showing the straightness of the Cu / ITO double layer etched using the etchant composition of Comparative Example 4.

Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the Cu / ITO etched with the etchant composition according to Comparative Example 4 was not very good in the etching profile and the etching straightness.
