The TFT-LCD is gradually widely used by people due to its advantages of environmental protection, high performance, light weight, and the like. At present, advanced generation TFT-LCD liquid crystal panel displays tend to be large in size, high in resolution, high in frequency driving and the like, and play a key role as TFT devices for connecting data lines and pixel switches. In this context, the conventional aluminum metal material is gradually unable to meet the requirements of TFT-LCD due to its larger electrical resistivity, higher thermal expansion coefficient, lower melting point and low thermal conductivity, while the copper metal wire is favored by the higher electrical conductivity, better electromigration resistance and greater Cost-down (Cost-down) benefits than the aluminum metal material. Therefore, the development of the mature copper metal wire preparation process is the focus of the development of TFT-LCD.
