A kind of manufacture method of LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) array substrate
Technical field
The present invention relates to the liquid crystal indicator technical field, further relate to the arraying bread board and the manufacture method thereof of liquid crystal indicator.
Background technology
Traditional CRT monitor relies on the phosphor powder on the cathode-ray tube (CRT) emitting electrons bump screen to come display image, but the principle of liquid crystal display is then different fully.Usually, liquid crystal display (LCD) device has upper substrate and infrabasal plate, have each other certain intervals and mutually over against.Be formed on two substrates a plurality of electrodes mutually over against.Liquid crystal is clipped between upper substrate and the following basic meal.Voltage is applied on the liquid crystal by the electrode on the substrate, thereby then according to the voltage that acted on change the arrangement display image of liquid crystal molecule, because liquid crystal indicator is not launched light as mentioned above, it needs light source to come display image. and therefore, liquid crystal indicator has the backlight that is positioned at the liquid crystal panel back.Thereby the arrangement according to liquid crystal molecule is controlled from backlight quantity of incident light display image.Accompany glass substrate, colored filter, electrode, liquid crystal layer and transistor film between two polaroids, liquid crystal molecule is the material with refractive index and dielectric constant anisotropy.The light process that backlight sends is polaroid down, becomes the polarized light with certain polarization direction.Institute's making alive between the transistor controls electrode, and this voltage acts on the polarization direction that liquid crystal is controlled polarized light, polarized light forms monochromatic polarized light after seeing through corresponding color film chromatograph, if polarized light can penetrate the upper strata polaroid, then demonstrates corresponding color; Electric field intensity difference, the deflection angle of liquid crystal molecule are also different, and the light intensity that sees through is different, and the brightness of demonstration is also different.The combination of the different light intensity by three kinds of colors of RGB shows motley image.
It is basic 4MASK manufacture process that general array base palte is made flow process, and each mask manufacturing step is as follows:
1, first mask-grid forms (gate metal sputter, wet quarter, photoresist lift off)
2, second mask-amorphous silicon island and signal electrode form (doped amorphous silicon, data line metal sputtering/wet quarters/amorphous silicon is done the dried quarter/photoresist lift off of quarter/raceway groove for gate insulating film, amorphous silicon)
3, the 3rd mask-contact hole forms (data line dielectric film/through hole is done quarter/photoresist lift off)
4, the four mask-pixels form (transparency electrode sputter/etching/photoresist lift off)
Propose to utilize Reflow technology to use a mask according to the patent No. for the Jap.P. of day special 2000-131719, finish signal wire and transistorized making.After exposure engineering and development engineering, photoresist is heated, cause the PR material softening by thermal conductance, make photoresist have certain flowability, after fully flowing, under the prerequisite that does not as far as possible change the photoresist shape that needs reservation photoresist field, the photoresist zone that keeps the minute pattern array behind exposure imaging forms the photoresist layer that approaches.
As mentioned above, at present the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) array side has adopted 4 or above mask technology to carry out.In the technological process, many masks are represented many one exposure technologys.As described in background introduction, need to develop after the exposure, etching, technologies such as cleaning have increased processing step on the one hand, the technology beat is influenced, each technological process also may be brought influence to final products, and each on the other hand exposure all exists the deviation in the contraposition, and repeatedly Die Jia result is narrowing down of process window, have influence on the design of product, and also can have influence on final display quality.
