Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable anodic oxidation independent of dust, fuzz, pinholes, etc. produced in a photoetching stage and during the formation of a metallic film by forming an electrically conductive transparent thin film on the whole surface of a substrate and a metallic thin film of a prescribed shape on the transparent thin film and anodically oxidizing the metallic thin film. CONSTITUTION:An In2O3 film 21 as an electrically conductive transparent thin film is formed on a transparent substrate 20 by sputtering and heat treated at 400 deg.C. A Ta film 22 is formed on the film 21 and patterned into a prescribed shape by a photoetching method. The patterned Ta is anodically oxidized 23 in an aqueous soln. of citric acid or the like, and the In2O3 film is patterned so as to enable the connection of the Ta 22 with the transparent electrode 21. A Ta film is then formed and patterned into a prescribed shape. At this time, wiring and an MIM element electrode 24 are formed simultaneously.

By the way, as explained earlier, during the manufacturing process of MIM elements,
(Although it includes the non-step of anodizing the Ta film, anodizing is performed by placing the substrate in an aqueous solution such as citric acid and using the side to be oxidized as a positive electrode and using an electrode such as platinum as a negative electrode.Positive electrode When hydroxyl ions y are electrically attracted to the side and combine to form water, the oxygen generated reacts with the metal on the positive electrode side and oxidizes it.Therefore, metals that are not positively charged are not oxidized. In the liquid crystal display substrate in which the 0MxM element is added to the liquid crystal display device, each display cell is connected by wiring as shown in Fig. 5, and this is used as the address line IO, so a jig is used to short-circuit a part of each address line. However, address wire 1 is anodized as a positive electrode.
0 is often broken in the middle, and after the broken point is not anodized and becomes a line defect. In addition, conductive rubber is used to short-circuit the leads to eliminate defects in anodic oxidation due to poor contact. The tie process cannot be performed and the metal film peels off in the subsequent process. In addition, the causes of negative lines include dust, fluff, etc., and pinholes generated during the formation of the metal film.
