Description

A kind of method and device of ink-jet printer control ink droplet dry run
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of method and device that is applied to the control ink droplet dry run of patterning function film preparation in the FPD manufacturing.
Background technology
The making of OTFT (OTFT) array relates to metallic film, the preparation of semiconductive thin film and insulating film material and Patternized technique in FPD is made.Adopt solwution method that these functional materials are accurately printed on the print substrate and can directly form patterned film.It is simple that this method has operation, and materials are economized, low cost and other advantages; But because multiple effect of factors such as the surface property of the component of ink, substrate, printing process conditions, the uniformity of film and microscopic appearance are wayward.Substrate surface can size and polarity then directly determine extravagant degree and the microscopic appearance of film of ink droplet on print substrate.Research shows, perhaps uses other process of surface treatment can improve the printability of ink ductor on print substrate through surperficial self assembled monolayer, effectively promotes the performance of the OTFT device of printing preparation.
Ink-jet printer comprises printhead, slipper bracket and the fixing moveable platform of print substrate; And there is the ink clip to be used for the storage ink material; The bottom fixing clamp silicon wafer of ink clip; Have the through hole of a plurality of micron-scales on the clip silicon wafer, ink forms required pattern through the upper surface that the through hole on the silicon wafer is sprayed on laminar print substrate.Conventional form is that the frequency inkjet drop of printhead to fix, the drop point of ink droplet are different along with moving of slipper bracket.The ink-jet time rhythm of printhead and the displacement of slipper bracket control are carried out through computer program synchronously.For printing a single-point that forms; It is positioned can to take place because of the difference of substrate surface performance after the print substrate sprawling in various degree; Ink droplet dry run subsequently comprises solvent evaporates; Solute diffusion, the behaviors such as curing with solute that circulate of solvent, can observe contact angle variation or contact wire phenomenon such as retreat.The dry run of ink droplet has determined final solute molecule to solidify the material pattern that the back forms.
The major influence factors that the single-point size is printed in decision is the wetability of print substrate surface and ink, characterizes with the contact angle of ink droplet at the surface of solids usually.Contact angle is more little, and wetability is high more.Contact angle can be determined by the surface ability of liquid phase ink droplet and the surface of solid phase print substrate jointly.The solute diffusion velocity is main relevant with the viscosity of solvent with the intensity that solvent circulates in the dry run.In addition, solute molecule is very sensitive to the Surface Physical Chemistry character of print substrate in solid liquid interface curing or crystallization speed.Through can the dry run of direct regulation and control ink droplet on print substrate, obtain size and the suitable print pattern of pattern to the modification of solid state surface physicochemistry character.
It is to remove the surface adsorption thing or pass through the composition structure that chemical reaction changes outermost layer atom and chemical group through physical action that the surface of solids is carried out the modification general process; Concrete process comprises self assembled monolayer, and the oxygen plasma bombardment is handled and the uv ozone surface treatment.Changes of chemical structures takes place in print substrate often that adopt these methods to handle on the surface, this modification can be used for controlling inkjet printing technology and drop on the size of the ink droplet on the print substrate and the pattern of cured film.But after technology was accomplished, the effect of this finishing was retained, and possibly produce adverse influence to the final devices performance.Many researchers is attempted on the insulative dielectric film, printing semi-conducting material and is prepared thin film transistor (TFT), and the insulation dielectric layer of film transistor device and the interface quality between the semiconductive thin film have determined important performance characteristic such as threshold voltage and the on-off ratio of device.Chemical surface treatment is when optimizing inkjet printing technology, and often the performance to device causes uncontrollable influence.
