Embodiment
To contrast accompanying drawing is below set forth some embodiments of the present invention.
(first embodiment)
Figure 1A to 1I is for illustrating the view according to the level Four gray scale mask manufacture process of first embodiment in the level Four photo mask manufacturing method according to the present invention especially.Fig. 2 A and 2B are respectively the vertical view and the sectional view of the level Four gray scale mask of making by the manufacture process of Figure 1A to 1I.
The thin film transistor (TFT) (TFT) or the color filter that for example are used to make LCD (LCD), plasma display panel (PDP) etc. at the gray scale mask 10 shown in Fig. 2 A and the 2B, and be suitable for forming corrosion-resisting pattern 12 on transfer printing target 11, the thickness of described corrosion-resisting pattern 12 changes step by step or continuously.In Fig. 2 B, symbol 19A, 19B and 19C refer to the film that piles up respectively on transfer printing target 11.That is to say that according to present embodiment, transfer printing target 11 is by forming with named order stacked film 19A, 19B and 19C on substrate 19.
Gray scale mask 10 comprises: shading light part 13, and it is suitable for blocking exposure light (transmittance is almost 0%); Transmittance part 14, it is suitable for almost 100% ground transmission exposure light; The first smooth half transmitting part 15A and the second smooth half transmitting part 15B, wherein each all is suitable for when using gray scale mask 10 transmittance of exposure light is reduced to about 20% to 50%.The above-mentioned photomask that also has one or more smooth half transmitting parts except shading light part 13 and transmittance part 14 is called gray scale mask.The first smooth half transmitting part 15A has different transmittances with the second smooth half transmitting part 15B, and according to present embodiment, the transmittance of the first smooth half transmitting part 15A is set to the transmittance that is lower than the second smooth half transmitting part 15B.Therefore, gray scale mask 10 is configured to the level Four gray scale mask, and wherein the transmittance of exposure light is four rank differences.
The first smooth half transmitting part 15A realizes by the first smooth semi-transmissive film 17A that forms the light half transmitting on such as the surface of the transparent substrates 16 of glass substrate.The second smooth half transmitting part 15B realizes by the second smooth semi-transmissive film 17B that forms the light half transmitting on the surface of transparent substrates 16.Shading light part 13 forms by pile up the first smooth semi-transmissive film 17A, photomask 18 and the second smooth semi-transmissive film 17B on the surface of light transmissive substrate 16 with named order.
The first smooth semi-transmissive film 17A is the film that contains metal and silicon, and preferably contains the film of the molybdenum silicide (MoSi) as principal ingredient.For example, contain MoSi (MoSi 2), MoSiN, MoSiON, MoSiCON or the like.In the second smooth semi-transmissive film 17B and the photomask 18 each all is the film that contains as the chromium of principal ingredient, wherein chromium is preferred for photomask 18, and chromium nitride, chromium oxide, nitrogen chromium oxide, charomic fluoride etc. are preferred for the second smooth semi-transmissive film 17B.The transmittance of the first smooth half transmitting part 15A is set based on material and choosing of thickness to the first smooth semi-transmissive film 17A.The transmittance of the second smooth half transmitting part 15B is set based on material and choosing of thickness to the second smooth semi-transmissive film 17B.The transmittance of shading light part 13 is set based on material and choosing of thickness to the first smooth semi-transmissive film 17A, the second smooth semi-transmissive film 17B and photomask 18.
When stating level Four gray scale mask 10 in the use, exposure light is in shading light part 13 not transmissions, and exposure light reduces at the second smooth half transmitting part 15B, exposure light at the first smooth half transmitting part 15A than further reducing at the second smooth half transmitting part 15B.Thus, the etchant resist (positive photoresist film) that is carried on the transfer printing target 11 forms following corrosion-resisting pattern 12.Corrosion-resisting pattern 12 is so disposed: with the etchant resist thickness T1 maximum at shading light part 13 corresponding part places, and with the etchant resist thickness T2 at the corresponding part of first smooth half transmitting part 15A place less than etchant resist thickness T1, but greater than with the etchant resist thickness T3 at the corresponding part of second smooth half transmitting part 15B place.Corrosion-resisting pattern 12 is not having etchant resist with transmittance part 14 corresponding part places.
Transfer printing target 11 with above-mentioned corrosion-resisting pattern 12 is carried out following processing.At first, at the part place that does not have etchant resist of corrosion-resisting pattern 12 (with transmittance part 14 corresponding parts), for example film 19A, 19B on the transfer printing target 11 and 19C are carried out the etching first time.Then, be that the part (with the corresponding part of the second smooth half transmitting part 15B) of T3 is removed by ashing etc. with the etchant resist thickness of corrosion-resisting pattern 12, at described part place, for example film 19B on the transfer printing target 11 and 19C are carried out the etching second time.Then, be that the part (with the corresponding part of the first smooth half transmitting part 15A) of T2 is removed by ashing etc. with the etchant resist thickness of corrosion-resisting pattern 12, at described part place, for example the film 19C on the transfer printing target 11 is carried out etching for the third time.In this way, only can carry out and the suitable processing of processing of adopting three usual photomasks to realize, reduce the quantity of mask thus with single gray scale mask 10.
Now with reference to Figure 1A to 1I the manufacture process of making above-mentioned level Four gray scale mask 10 is set forth.
At first, on the surface of transparent substrates 16, form the first smooth semi-transmissive film 17A and photomask 18, form and prepare photomask blank 20 (Figure 1A) thus with named order.In the first smooth semi-transmissive film 17A and the photomask 18 each all has the etched corrosion stability to another in the manufacture process of gray scale mask 10.For example, the first smooth semi-transmissive film 17A is made by the material that chromium etching gas or liquid is had corrosion stability, and photomask 18 is made by the material that MoSi etching gas or liquid is had corrosion stability.
Then, on the photomask 18 of photomask blank 20, form etchant resist (positive photoresist film), and utilize electron beam or laser write device that described etchant resist is exposed/writes and development subsequently, form first corrosion-resisting pattern 21 (Figure 1B) thus.The shape that first corrosion-resisting pattern 21 is formed have with the transmittance part 14 and the corresponding open region of the second smooth half transmitting part 15B of manufactured gray scale mask 10.
Afterwards, use chromium etching gas or liquid and use first corrosion-resisting pattern 21 photomask 18 of the photomask blank 20 that is formed with first corrosion-resisting pattern 21 to be carried out dry-etching or Wet-type etching (Fig. 1 C) as mask.By described etching, photomask 18 is formed photomask pattern 22.Because the first smooth semi-transmissive film 17A has corrosion stability to chromium etching gas or liquid, so during being difficult in the etching of photomask 18 the first smooth semi-transmissive film 17A is carried out etching.
