It should be noted that, with the variation of the targeted graphical shape, the second graph is described in other embodiments of the invention Projection on first mask plate can also be adjacent with first figure.
In the present embodiment, as shown in figure 8, it is corresponding with the first figure 110 on first mask plate 100, described second There are 8 second graphs 210 being arranged in array on mask plate 200, so the single exposure of the mask assembly, it can be simultaneously 8 targeted graphicals in array are formed, so as to efficiently use the area of second mask plate 200, reduce described second The cost of mask plate 200, and exposure frequency can be reduced, technology stability is improved, manufacturing yield and device performance are conducive to Improvement.
The external zones 202 is used to provide load-bearing surface for the first offset marker group 220.
In the present embodiment, it is rectangle positioned at the graph area 201 of central area or square, so with described first The external zones 102 of mask plate 110 is corresponding, and the external zones 202 of second mask plate 200 is side's annular, surrounds the figure Area 201 is arranged.
As shown in figure 5, the first offset marker group 220 is set to position corresponding with the reference mark group 120 Near, for being aligned with the reference mark group 120, to realize second mask plate 200 and first mask plate 100 Between alignment, and then the second graph 210 and first figure 110 is made to constitute at least partly described targeted graphical.
In the first offset marker group 220 adjacent first offset marker to spacing L21 (as shown in Figure 9) between 221 with Spacing L11 (as shown in Figure 7) is unequal between the adjacent reference mark 121, i.e., adjacent first offset marker is between 221 It is greater than between the adjacent reference mark 121 spacing L11 or adjacent first offset marker to spacing L21 between 221 away from L21 Less than spacing L11 between the adjacent reference mark 121.
So when the first different offset markers is aligned to 221 with corresponding reference mark 121, second mask plate Relative position is not identical between 200 and first mask plate 100, to make the second graph 210 and first figure Relative displacement is generated between shape 110;Therefore first offset marker can also be matched to 221 with the reference mark 121, It can be used in relative displacement relationship between the first figure 110 and the second graph 120 described in scale, so as to realize difference The formation of line width, different line-spacing targeted graphicals, and then the quantity of mask plate can be reduced, process costs are advantageously reduced, are controlled Colored optical filtering substrates cost.
With reference to Fig. 5, in conjunction with reference Fig. 7 and Fig. 9, in the present embodiment, spacing between adjacent 221 pairs of first offset marker L21 is less than spacing L11 between the adjacent reference mark 121.So when forming the targeted graphical of different line widths, it is described Between first figure 110 and the second graph 120 direction of relative displacement and the first corresponding offset marker to 221 institute Place position is consistent, advantageously reduces the technology difficulty of first mask plate and second mask plate alignment, is conducive to make Make the raising of yield and device performance.
In the present embodiment, spacing L21 and the adjacent reference mark 121 between adjacent 221 pairs of first offset marker Between spacing L11 difference in 1 μm to 5 μ ms.
Spacing L11 between spacing L21 and the adjacent reference mark 121 between adjacent 221 couples of first offset marker Difference should not it is too big also should not be too small.
Adjacent first offset marker is to spacing L11 between spacing L21 and the adjacent reference mark 121 between 221 If difference it is too big, when different first offset markers 221 with corresponding reference mark 121 to being aligned, first figure 110 The difference that relative displacement is generated between the second graph 120 is excessive, will lead to the change of formed targeted graphical line width, line-spacing Change it is excessive, be unfavorable for guarantee line width, line-spacing variation precision;Adjacent first offset marker is to spacing L21 and phase between 221 If the difference of spacing L11 is too small between the adjacent reference mark 121, in order to reach certain variation range, need to increase First offset marker is to 221 and the quantity of the reference mark 121, to will increase shared by the reference mark group 120 With the area of first mask plate 100, the face of the second mask plate 200 occupied by the first offset marker group 220 will increase Product is unfavorable for designing and manufacturing for first mask plate 100 and second mask plate 200, is unfavorable for the control of cost.
Moreover, the mask assembly is used to form black matrix layer, adjacent first offset marker pair in the present embodiment If the difference of spacing L11 is too small between spacing L21 and the adjacent reference mark 121 between 221, to the black matrix layer shape It influences less, the formation process difficulty of second mask plate 200 may be will increase instead, to increase institute at the raising of quality The formation cost of the second mask plate 200 is stated, and then the increased costs of the black matrix layer can be caused.
As shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9, in the present embodiment, the external zones 202 is side's annular, the first offset marker group 220 Quantity be 4, be located at the corner of 200 external zones 202 of the second mask plate.
Multiple first offset marker groups 220 are set on second mask plate 200 of the external zones 202, and And make the way of the corner in the multiple first offset marker group, 220 annular peripheral area, the side of being distributed in 202, multiple can be made One offset marker group 220 is uniformly distributed on second mask plate 200, and corresponding position on first mask plate 100 Place is also equipped with the reference mark group 120, when alignment, make the multiple first offset marker group 220 simultaneously with institute It states multiple reference mark groups 120 and realizes alignment one by one, covered so as to effectively improve second mask plate 200 and described first The alignment precision of diaphragm plate 100;And the multiple first offset marker group 220 and the multiple reference mark group 120 are equal respectively It is even to be distributed on second mask plate 200 and first mask plate 100, when the multiple first offset marker group, 220 He When the multiple reference mark group 120 is aligned simultaneously, additionally it is possible to effectively reduce first mask plate 100 and second exposure mask The probability to relatively rotate between plate 200 is conducive to the reduction for being directed at difficulty, is conducive to the raising of alignment precision.
As shown in figure 8, the first offset marker group 220 includes the first lateral shift mark group 220x in the present embodiment With first longitudinal direction offset marker group 220y, the first offset marker of the first lateral shift mark group 220x is to 221 along first Direction X arrangement, the first offset marker of the first longitudinal direction offset marker group 220y is to 221 Y arrangements in a second direction.
It is shown in conjunction with Fig. 7 and Fig. 8 such as Fig. 5, on first mask plate 100, the first lateral shift mark group 220x In positive throwing of first offset marker to two the first offset marker 221m of 221 (as shown in virtual coil 921x in Fig. 5) Shadow is symmetrically located in corresponding 121 two sides of reference mark in the lateral fiducial markings group 120x.In first mask plate 100 On, in first longitudinal direction offset marker group 220y first offset marker to 221 (as shown in virtual coil 921y in Fig. 5) two The orthographic projection of a first offset marker 221m is symmetrically located in 121 liang of corresponding reference mark in longitudinal reference mark group 120y Side.
The first offset marker in the first lateral shift mark group 220x is to 221 and the lateral fiducial markings group Reference mark 121 in 120x matches, for second graph 210 and first figure 110 described in scale along first direction X Relative displacement;The first offset marker in the first longitudinal direction offset marker group 220y is to 221 and longitudinal reference mark The reference mark 121 of group 120y matches, and is used for second graph 210 described in scale and first figure 110 Y in a second direction Relative displacement.
So passing through the lateral fiducial markings group 120x and the first lateral shift mark group 220x and described vertical It, can be to parallel first mask plate, 100 surface to reference mark group 120y and the first longitudinal direction offset marker group 220y Interior any relative displacement carries out scale, so as to effectively realize the formation of different line widths, different line-spacing targeted graphicals, is conducive to Process costs are reduced, colored optical filtering substrates cost is controlled.
Specifically, the second graph 210 on second mask plate 200 is arranged in array, the first direction X is The line direction of 210 array of second graph, the second direction Y are the column direction of 210 array of second graph, that is, It says, the first offset marker in the first lateral shift mark group 220x is to 221 along the row side of 210 array of second graph To arrangement, the first offset marker in the longitudinal direction reference mark group 120y is to 221 along the column side of 210 array of second graph To arrangement.
When the first offset markers different in the first lateral shift mark group 220x are to 221 and the lateral fiducial markings In group 120x when the alignment of corresponding reference mark 121, relatively described first figure 110 of the second graph 210 occurs along first The displacement of direction X can make formed targeted graphical change along the size x1 of line direction, that is, formed black matrix is along first The line-spacing of direction X changes, additionally it is possible to so that the spacing x2 between formed targeted graphical line direction is changed, that is, be formed Black matrix changes along the line width of first direction X;When the first offset of difference mark in the first longitudinal direction offset marker group 220y When note is aligned to 221 with corresponding reference mark 121 in longitudinal reference mark group 120y, the second graph 210 is opposite The displacement of Y in a second direction occurs for first figure 110, and formed targeted graphical can be made to occur along the size y1 of column direction The line-spacing of variation, that is, formed black matrix Y in a second direction changes, additionally it is possible to make between formed targeted graphical column direction Spacing x2 change, that is, the line width of formed black matrix Y in a second direction changes.
So passing through the lateral fiducial markings group 120x and the first lateral shift mark group 220x and described vertical It, being capable of second graph 210 and described described in scale to reference mark group 120y and the first longitudinal direction offset marker group 220y Relative displacement of one figure 110 in parallel first mask plate, 100 surface plane, to be able to achieve different line widths, difference The formation of line-spacing targeted graphical, compared with forming different line widths, the technical solution of line-spacing targeted graphical using different mask plates, energy The enough effective quantity for reducing mask plate, is conducive to the reduction of cost, and then be conducive to the control of the colored optical filtering substrates cost System.
As shown in figure 9, first offset marker includes two spaced first offsets to 221 in the present embodiment Marking 221m, the first offset marker 221m is strip, and the first offset marker 221m is in first mask plate 100 On orthographic projection it is parallel with corresponding reference mark 121 (as shown in Figure 5).
The first offset marker 221m and the reference mark 121 are disposed as to the way of strip, it can be in reality While the existing second graph 210 and first figure 110 are aligned, the second graph 210 and first figure are prevented Relative displacement occurs between shape 110, so as to effectively improve the second graph 210 and first figure 110 alignment Precision is conducive to the improvement of manufacturing yield and device performance.
Specifically, the extending direction of the first offset marker 221m is mutually perpendicular to orientation.Specifically, described The first offset marker arranges 221 the first offset marker 221m along the first direction X in one lateral shift mark group 220x, Extend along the second direction Y;The first offset marker marks 221 the first offset in the first longitudinal direction offset marker group 220y Note 221m is arranged along the second direction Y, is extended along the first direction X.
In the present embodiment, multiple first offset markers are placed equidistant with to 221 in the first offset marker group 220.Tool Body, first offset marker arranged in the same direction is to 221 equidistant arrangements, that is to say, that first lateral shift Multiple first offset markers in mark group 220x are equal to being spaced between 221, are L21;The first longitudinal direction offset marker Multiple first offset markers in group 220y are equal to being spaced between 221, are L21.
Due to first offset marker to 221 two the first offset marker 221m on first mask plate 100 Orthographic projection it is parallel with corresponding reference mark 121, so multiple first offset markers pair in the first offset marker group 220 221 the first offset marker 221m is mutually parallel.
Specifically, first offset marker 221m is mutually put down in the first offset marker arranged in the same direction is to 221 Row, that is to say, that in the first lateral shift mark group 220x, the first offset marker 221m is mutually parallel;Described first In vertical misalignment mark group 220y, the first offset marker is mutually parallel to 221.
It should be noted that in the present embodiment, in the first offset marker group 221 two the first offset marker 221m it Between the ratio of interval D 2 (as shown in Figure 9) and the 121 size W of reference mark be greater than 1, be less than or equal to 1.2.
As shown in figure 5, when alignment, on first mask plate 100, first offset marker is to two in 221 the The projection of one offset marker 221m is symmetrically in the two sides of corresponding reference mark.So in the first offset marker group 221 Between two the first offset marker 221m the ratio of interval D 2 and the 121 size W of reference mark should not it is too small also should not be too big.
First offset marker is to interval D 2 and the reference mark between two the first offset marker 221m in 221 If the ratio of 121 size W is too small, it is spaced between two the first offset marker 221m in the first offset marker group 221 D2 is too small, may will affect first offset marker to the alignment function between 221 and the reference mark 121;Described One offset marker to the ratio of interval D 2 and the 121 size W of reference mark between two the first offset marker 221m in 221 such as Fruit is too big, then interval D 2 is excessive between two the first offset marker 221m in the first offset marker group 221, may will affect First offset marker is to the precision being aligned between 221 and the reference mark 121.
In the present embodiment, in the first offset marker group 220 all first offset markers to 221 the first offset marker 221m is equal in length, and so as to effectively improve the regularity and uniformity of figure on second mask plate 200, is conducive to The alignment difficulty for reducing the mask assembly, is conducive to the improvement of manufacturing yield He formed device performance.
In addition, the length of the first offset marker 221m is less than the length of the reference mark 121.Make described first partially It moves label 221m length and is less than 121 length of reference mark, can be improved the first offset marker 221m described in alignment procedures Technology difficulty is advantageously reduced, is conducive to so as to which alignment difficulty is effectively reduced with the identification of the reference mark 121 The raising of manufacturing yield and device performance.
In the present embodiment, as shown in figure 5, on first mask plate 100, the first offset marker 221m orthographic projection One end is flushed with one end of the reference mark 121, therefore in the aligning process, can be directly from the position of label and opposite ruler It is very little directly to differentiate the first offset marker 221m and the reference mark 121, so as to which alignment difficulty is effectively reduced, favorably In the raising of manufacturing yield and device performance.
With reference to Figure 10 and Figure 11, third mask plate 300 is shown in mask assembly embodiment of the present invention shown in Fig. 4 along the side A To overlooking structure diagram.Wherein, Figure 11 is structure in dotted line frame 390 in mask assembly embodiment of the present invention shown in Figure 10 Enlarged diagram.
In the present embodiment, first figure 110 and the second graph 210 can only targeted graphical described in composition part, Therefore the third mask plate 300 and first mask plate 100 and overlapping setting (such as Fig. 4 and figure of second mask plate 200 Shown in 5), it is complete to supplement for being matched with first mask plate 100 and second mask plate 200, it constitutes complete The targeted graphical;Further, it is also possible to by the way that phase occurs between first mask plate 100 and second mask plate 200 To displacement, to make to generate opposite position between the third figure 310 and first figure 110 and the second graph 210 It moves, further the line width of the formed targeted graphical of adjustment, line-spacing.
Therefore the third mask plate, can be with first mask plate 100 and second mask plate 200 as supplement It matches, constitutes the complete targeted graphical, so as to achieve the purpose that reduce mask plate quantity, reduce manufacturing cost.
As shown in Figure 10, second mask plate 200 is similar, and the third mask plate 300 also includes for being third figure Shape 310 provides the graph area 301 of load-bearing surface and for providing the external zones of load-bearing surface for the second offset marker group 320 302。
Wherein, corresponding with graph area 101 on first mask plate 100 and external zones 102, the third mask plate 200 graph area 301 is also rectangle or square, positioned at the central area of the third mask plate 300;The third is covered The external zones 302 of diaphragm plate 200 is side's annular around the graph area 301.
The third figure 310 is located near 210 corresponding position of the first figure, is used for and first figure 110 It matches with the second graph 210 with the complete targeted graphical.
In the present embodiment, first figure 110 and the second graph 210 are rectangle, complete in order to constitute The targeted graphical, the third figure 310 are square.But with 210 class of first figure 110 and the second graph Seemingly, the present invention to the concrete shape of the third figure 310 without limitation.In other embodiments of the invention, when the target figure When shape or the shape of first figure, the second graph change, the shape of the third figure also changes therewith It is square, rule or the irregular shape such as diamond shape or even circle.Since the third figure is for constituting the target figure Picture, therefore the shape of the third figure is identical as the shape of the targeted graphical.
Specifically, on first mask plate 100, the orthographic projection of the third figure 310 and first figure 110 It is adjacent to be perhaps at least partly overlapped or the orthographic projection of the third figure 310 is adjacent with the orthographic projection of the second graph 210 Or it is at least partly overlapped.So the third figure 310 is matched with first figure 110 and the second graph 210, With enough at the complete targeted graphical.
As shown in figure 5, in the present embodiment, the third figure 310 and first figure 110 and the second graph 210 partially overlap, and combine the missing of later vertex to supplement first figure 110 and the second graph 210, from And constitute the complete targeted graphical.
Similar with second graph 210 on second mask plate 200, also having 8 on the third mask plate 300 is in The third figure 310 of array arrangement, it is corresponding with first figure 110 on first mask plate 100.
The second offset marker group 320 is set near position corresponding with the reference mark group 120, for The reference mark group 120 is aligned, thus realize the alignment between the third mask plate 300 and first mask plate 100, And then the third figure 310 is made to play the role of supplement, to constitute the complete targeted graphical.
The way for being directed at the second offset marker group 320 directly with the reference mark group 120, can be effective Avoid the first offset marker group 220 and 120 alignment error of reference mark group right to the second offset marker group 320 Quasi- influence, advantageously reduces the precision being aligned between the second offset marker group 320 and the reference mark group 120, has Conducive to the precision for improving formed targeted graphical, be conducive to the improvement of manufacturing yield and device performance.
It is similar to 221 with the first offset marker on second mask plate 200, the second offset marker group 320 In adjacent second offset marker to spacing between spacing L31 (as shown in figure 11) and the adjacent reference mark 121 between 321 L11 (as shown in Figure 7) is unequal.
So when the second different offset markers is aligned to 321 with corresponding reference mark 121, the third mask plate Relative position is not identical between 300 and first mask plate 100, to make the third figure 310 and first figure Relative displacement is generated between shape 110;Therefore second offset marker can also be matched to 321 with the reference mark 121, It can be used in relative displacement between third figure 310 described in scale and first figure 110 and the second graph 120 to close System so as to realize the formation of different line widths, different line-spacing targeted graphicals, and then can reduce the quantity of mask plate, favorably In reducing process costs, colored optical filtering substrates cost is controlled.
Specifically, spacing L31 is less than the adjacent base between adjacent 321 pairs of second offset marker in the present embodiment Spacing L11 between fiducial mark note 121, to make the direction of relative displacement between the third figure 310 and first figure 110 It is consistent to 321 present position with the second corresponding offset marker, to reduce the technology difficulty of alignment, improve manufacturing yield And device performance.
It is similar to 321 with the first offset marker in the first offset marker group 220, adjacent second offset marker Between 321 pairs between spacing L31 and the adjacent reference mark 121 difference of spacing L11 in 1 μm to 5 μ ms, thus Under the premise of guaranteeing formed targeted graphical line width, line-spacing variation precision, the design and manufacture for controlling the third mask plate 300 are difficult Degree and cost, control the cost of the black matrix layer.
Similar, corresponding with the reference mark group 120, the quantity of the second offset marker group 320 is 4, point Not Wei Yu 300 external zones 302 of third mask plate corner, covered with improving the third mask plate 300 and described first The alignment precision of diaphragm plate 100 reduces and relatively rotates odds.
